Ozempic® (semaglutide) is a proven effective GLP-1 medication that was originally developed for people with type 2 diabetes. However, recent years have shown that it can also be very effective for overweight people. Bee Goodweigh we combine this medication with personal coaching and medical guidance, so that you not only lose weight, but also do it in a healthy and lasting way. But what exactly can you expect when you start with Ozempic?
On average, how many pounds do you lose with Ozempic?
From a major clinical study (STEP-1) It appears that participants who used Ozempic (semaglutide) lost an average of 15% of their body weight in 68 weeks. In comparison, participants who received a placebo lost only 2.4% of their weight (Wilding et al., 2021, New England Journal of Medicine).
In practice at Goodweigh, we see similar results. Many people notice that they start to lose weight steadily, get more energy and feel better in their own bodies as early as the first few months. Ideally, the process runs smoothly and we aim for sustainable results.
Which factors influence your results?
Not everyone loses the same amount of weight with Ozempic. The result depends on various factors, such as dosage, lifestyle, personal metabolism and, above all, the level of guidance.
People who combine their treatment with coaching, healthy food and sufficient exercise often achieve the best results. One meta-analysis shows that people without diabetes lose, on average, slightly more weight with semaglutide than people with diabetes. This highlights that everyone's body responds differently and that personal guidance is essential to achieve maximum effect (Qin et al., 2023, Diabetes Obesity and Metabolism).
At Goodweigh, doctors and coaches therefore not only look at the medication, but also at your habits, motivation and lifestyle. This creates a process that really suits you.
When do you see the first effects of Ozempic?
Many users notice a reduction in their appetite within just a few weeks. They feel satiated more quickly and have less need for snacks or large portions. Small changes on the scale are often already visible by then.
Real weight loss usually builds up between the first three and six months. During this period, your body gets used to the medication and you learn new, healthier habits. The pace varies from person to person, but the most important thing is that progress remains gradual and stable.
Is losing weight with Ozempic fast or gradual?
Losing weight with Ozempic is usually gradual, and that is exactly the intention. Rapid weight loss sounds appealing, but is often difficult to maintain. Ozempic actually helps you to better regulate your appetite, so you eat less naturally.
Due to the slower pace, your body mainly loses fat mass instead of muscle mass or fluid. This is healthier and ensures that the result stays longer. The goal is not to lose weight as quickly as possible, but to find a new, sustainable balance.

What is the maximum weight loss with Ozempic?
Some people lose 20% or more of their body weight with Ozempic, depending on their starting situation, effort and guidance (Wilding et al., 2021). Nevertheless, it is important to have realistic expectations. Not everyone responds the same way, and a slightly slower pace can actually be healthier.
At Goodweigh, we work with you to find achievable goals. We don't just focus on kilos, but also on how you feel, move and function. This keeps the focus wider than the scale alone. Because anyone who has lost 5 or 10 kilos knows that losing weight is much more than just what the scale tells you.
What do GoodWeigh users say about their results?
Many participants say that they not only lose weight, but also feel lighter, more energetic and more confident. They experience more peace around eating and notice that their motivation is increasing. For many people, the process is also a good way to make lasting lifestyle changes.
Goodweigh users especially appreciate the personal guidance: doctors monitor progress, coaches provide practical tips and the support team is available if you have any questions. That way, you always know that you are not alone.
How do you maintain your weight after your weight loss journey?
Losing weight is one step, but maintaining your weight is just as important. That's why Goodweigh doesn't just focus on losing pounds, but also on learning healthy habits. During the coaching, you will learn how to deal with temptations, stress and eating behavior so that your results are maintained.
At the end of the active process, you will remain supported with lifestyle advice and progress measurements. That way, you can build a healthier lifestyle that suits you, without strict diets or relapses.
What is a realistic expectation for Ozempic?
Ozempic can be a powerful weight loss tool, but it works best when combined with behavioral change, coaching, and medical guidance. It is not a panacea, but a remedy that helps to change your body and your habits step by step.
Those who are willing to actively work on their health often see impressive results. And that is precisely where Goodweigh's strength lies: a journey that is not just about medication, but about your entire process towards a healthier life.
