After having my daughter in late 2022, I continued to gain weight during my postpartum phase. When it was time for me to return to work, I looked heavier than when I left. I was fed up with the excess weight and was referred by a family friend to a medical weight loss clinic 30 miles away that offered a few different weight loss plans. The top package included semaglutide – which is the package I went for.
Prior Experience
During my initial consultation, we discussed different plans, my habits, and my personal weight loss goals. At the next appointment, I had my blood drawn and completed some additional paperwork and consultations. By the third visit, I started taking semaglutide. I maintained a casual exercise routine and ate healthily, and after three months, I had lost around 25 pounds.
I was worn out from the winter commute and constantly thinking about weight loss, so I decided to take a break and appreciate the progress I had made.
Current Experience
Six months later, I decided to return to semaglutide and aim to lose another 25 pounds. This time, I chose a telehealth option through CosmeticRX because they have the guaranteed lowest price in the US –
Only $99 with my code JUSTBRENNON.
Having been a previous customer of Retin-A and Latisse Eyelash Serum, I trusted CosmeticRX and decided to return. The process for getting started was very similar to my prior in-person experience, except that everything is handled virtually. The only in-person part is getting your blood drawn, which is done through Quest Diagnostics. Quest Diagnostics efficiently offers over 100+ laboratory tests.
To have my blood drawn, I simply popped in on my lunch break, scanned my driver’s license at the kiosk check-in, and had my blood drawn – all in under 20 minutes. Honestly, it was more like 10 minutes, but that’s my personal experience by going about 1:45 p.m. Fasting was optional.
A few days later, I checked my CosmeticRx portal and saw that my semaglutide had been prescribed, I reviewed my consultation, and read that my prescription would be shipped the next day.
Final Thoughts
Here I am again, getting started with semaglutide for the second time to lose another 25 pounds. Losing this weight is crucial to me because my family has a history of health issues related to diabetes and obesity. I want to avoid these problems for myself, my family, and our future, so taking semaglutide, exercising, and cutting back on calories are all important steps to achieve my goal.
Speaking of important steps, there are a handful of additional steps that I have taken as I embark upon this journey which include increasing my water consumption, increasing my leafy green vegetables, and doing a three-day detox to give myself a nice total body reset as I make changes toward a healthier version of myself.
