Hi everyone, I’m 28F with PCOS and BMI around 35, and I’m currently on semaglutide under my endocrinologist’s supervision.

I’ve completed 4 weeks now:

Weeks 1 and 2: 0.25 mg

Week 3: 0.5 mg

Today: 0.5 mg (second 0.5 mg dose)

My doctor plans to increase the dose after this, rather than giving me the originally planned 3 doses of 0.5 mg.

My concern is that I haven't lost even 1 kg or noticed any inch loss, and I don't feel any meaningful hunger suppression. My appetite feels pretty much the same as before.

The only noticeable side effects are usually on the first day after the injection, some nausea/vomiting, but it's manageable with the medication my doctor prescribed. I also get some mild pain/soreness around the injection site on my stomach for a while after the injection. Is that normal?

I know 4 weeks is still early and that 0.25 mg is only a starting dose, but I'm getting worried because I'm not feeling any noticeable effect on appetite or weight.

For people who have been on semaglutide:

Did anyone have almost no appetite suppression or weight loss during the first month?

When did you personally start noticing a meaningful difference?

Did things change significantly when you went from 0.5 mg to higher doses?

Is mild injection-site pain normal?

If you weren't responding initially, what did your doctor do next?

Anything I might be missing?

Would really appreciate experiences, especially from people with PCOS or similar starting weights.

Hi everyone, I’m 28F, 154 cm, ~84 kg (BMI ~35) with PCOS. I don’t have diabetes; my recent HbA1c is 5.7%. TSH and liver enzymes are normal.

I’ve been swimming ~6 days/week for the past month (around 45 min/session) and also doing Garba, but I haven’t lost even 1 kg.

I generally eat around 1,200–1,500 calories/day, although I know my tracking may not be perfect. My main eating challenge is more situational/social eating — for example, if my family is having dinner, I’ll sit and eat with them even when I'm not particularly hungry because it's family mealtime. I think my appetite is already appropriate - not too high, not too less.

My endocrinologist has suggested semaglutide, potentially switching to tirzepatide/Mounjaro if the response isn't adequate.

I'm conflicted because my family feels I should first try harder with gym/strength training and diet, while I'm concerned about:

becoming dependent on semaglutide

regaining weight after stopping

long-term side effects

effects on PCOS, ovaries and fertility

whether I even need it if I'm already eating relatively little

I'm planning to continue swimming and add resistance training regardless.

For people who've actually used semaglutide/Mounjaro, especially women with PCOS:

Did it help with eating when you weren't physically hungry or with social/food-related urges?

Did you regain weight after stopping?

How did it affect your PCOS/periods/fertility?

Do you wish you'd started earlier, or tried lifestyle alone first?

If you're in India, which product are you using and roughly how much does it cost?

I dated someone earning around ₹60 LPA at a well-established international product company. On paper, he was exactly the kind of person people on Reddit would call a "dream match."

But here's what I learned.

Salary tells you almost nothing about whether two people are actually compatible.

Money matters. I'm not one of those people who'll say it doesn't. Financial stability is important.

But compatibility matters even more.

Can they communicate when things get difficult?

Can they take a stand when family pressure shows up?

Do your values align?

Do you both want the same kind of life?

Do you genuinely enjoy spending time together outside the excitement of the relationship?

In my case, communication gaps became obvious. Family dynamics became a huge challenge. And after we broke up, the way I was treated changed so much that it completely changed my perception of the relationship.

None of those things were visible from his salary.

I also realised something else. Sometimes you're looking for a partner who wants to explore life, grow together, build experiences, and make certain choices.

The other person may have completely different priorities, responsibilities, or expectations. Neither person is necessarily wrong—but that difference can make you fundamentally incompatible.

Looking back, I don't think our worlds aligned as much as I wanted to believe they did. We were in a long-distance relationship, and whenever we spent extended time together, I slowly realised the chemistry wasn't as effortless as I had imagined.

There wasn't anything dramatically wrong—we just weren't the right fit.

That's why I no longer believe a ₹60 LPA package automatically makes someone a great life partner. It also doesn't mean they're a bad one.

It just means they're someone with a high salary.

Everything else, emotional maturity, values, communication, family dynamics, lifestyle, compatibility, and the ability to stand by your partner, is a completely different conversation.

The only advice I'll give is - when you choose someone, see how they fit your lifestyle, your point of views and family dynamics and if you like them as a husband beyond his package.

I'm looking for a custom wooden photo frame, plaque, or tabletop showpiece based on a photo that I provide.

The unique part is that I'd like it to have multiple buttons, with each button playing a different custom song or audio clip that I provide.

Ideally, the buttons should be neatly integrated into the design and the overall finish should look premium.

I'm based in Ahmedabad, but I'm happy to order from anywhere in India as long as they ship nationwide.

Has anyone ordered something similar or knows a reliable seller who can make this?

Recommendations for small businesses, Instagram pages, Etsy sellers, or independent artisans are all welcome.

If you've personally purchased something like this, I'd love to know:

\- Who you ordered from.

\- Approximately how much it cost.

\- How the overall quality and experience were.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm a 5'3" female, and my weight is currently somewhere between 85–90 kg.

I've genuinely tried to lose weight over the years through dieting, exercising, and making lifestyle changes, but I haven't been able to achieve sustainable results.

At this point, I'm considering consulting a doctor and exploring clinically supervised weight-loss treatments or medications.

I'd really appreciate your help with a few questions:

- Which doctors or clinics would you recommend?

- Roughly how much does the consultation and treatment cost?

- If you've been prescribed weight-loss medications (like GLP-1 medications or any other treatment), what was your experience?

- Did you experience any side effects?

- Was the weight loss sustainable, and was it worth the cost?

- Is there anything you wish you had known before starting?

I'm not looking for shortcuts and I know lifestyle changes are still important. I just feel like I need medical support at this stage, and I'd love to hear from people who've actually gone through the process.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences and recommendations!

Hi everyone,

Giving this one more chance after recently coming out of a relationship. The biggest lesson I learned is that love alone isn't enough for marriage, family compatibility matters just as much.

A little about me:

28F from Ahmedabad.

Gujarati. My father is a Thakkar and my mother is a Brahmin. They separated many years ago, but I'm on good terms with both sides of the family. If that family background is a deal breaker for you, I completely understand.

5'2"-5'3", around 75-80 kg. I'm currently working on getting healthier and losing weight.

BA in English Literature.

I genuinely love my work and plan to continue working after marriage. I may take a break for motherhood if needed, but otherwise I see myself building my career for the long term.

I earn around ₹12–15 LPA.

Vegetarian/eggitarian (no non-veg).

I prefer a simple, intimate wedding over a lavish one.

What I'm looking for:

Someone from Ahmedabad.

Preferably from an open caste background, as family acceptance has become important to me.

Age: around 29–32.

Someone earning around my range or higher.

Someone mature, emotionally secure, and capable of taking a stand when it matters.

Someone who values partnership and mutual respect.

A few important things about me:

Because my mother is single, I will continue contributing financially to her after marriage. If that's not something you're comfortable with, I completely understand.

I believe essential household expenses (home expenses, children's education, groceries, bills, etc.) should primarily be the husband's responsibility, while I'm happy to take care of lifestyle expenses like vacations, dining out, celebrations, gifts, and similar experiences. I understand this may not align with everyone's views, and that's perfectly okay.

I'm happy to contribute to household responsibilities, but I'm not looking for a setup where a woman is expected to manage a full-time career and the entire household on her own.

I'm absolutely okay if you've had previous relationships. What matters to me is that you've learned your lessons from them, have genuinely moved on, and are emotionally available for a new chapter.

Lastly, I'm not rushing into marriage. I'd rather take the time to get to know the right person than rush into the wrong decision.

If our values resonate with you, feel free to reach out.

P.S. I work full-time, so I may not be able to reply during weekdays. I'll definitely get back to you over the weekend.

I've gained a lot of weight over the past few years, and I'm feeling pretty stuck.

The biggest issue is that every time I try to lose weight through exercise, I end up with severe pain in my lower body. It gets so bad that I can barely move for a while, which completely derails any progress I make.

I've been reading a bit about NLP and concepts like age regression, where people revisit an earlier version of themselves mentally. I'm curious whether anyone has actually used NLP to improve their health, lose weight, or even reconnect with the mindset and habits they had when they were younger.

Has anyone here worked with an NLP practitioner and seen real, lasting results? Is there any evidence or personal experience that it can help someone get back to their best physical shape, or is it mostly motivational rather than something that directly affects weight loss?

I'm genuinely trying to understand how this works before investing my time and money. I'd especially love to hear from people who have personally gone through the process.

Thanks in advance.
