Is -2lbs in 2 weeks normal?

I’ll add that my BMI is 25, but I have 20 lbs to lose. I started 2 weeks ago, 0.25. I’ve lost a whopping 2lbs 🙄 I am doing strength training 4x/ week with one active rest day. Weekends I try to do treadmill otherwise it’s just errands and chore movement. Should I be expecting more of a loss (I am for sure eating less but prioritizing protein and hitting 100g/day)??

Do side effects get worse every week?

I’m on week 2 of compounded semi 0.25 and OMG. I had dose 2 Saturday and I can’t eat anymore. I have like 1-2 bites of something and am DONE. I had some nausea yesterday which has subsided today (thank god), but is this going to get worse and worse every week??

Just got the notification that my compounded semaglutide is on its way. I am active (strength and cardio training 5x week plus walking). I am already prioritizing protein (130g daily). I have about 20lbs to lose.

My questions are:

  1. what day do you usually inject? My mom is on a GLP-1 and says the day after she can’t get out of bed. I work 2 jobs and have 3 kids…I can’t take a day to lay in bed.

  2. do you get nausea? I have a phobia of vomiting and this scares me a lot.

  3. how and where do you find it best to inject? Never given myself an injection before
