Our printable tracker includes space to log your weekly medication dose, calorie intake, weight, body measurements and wellbeing check-ins. Print it out and keep it somewhere visible as a daily reminder of your commitment to your health goals.
Phase One: Weeks 1 to 3 — Settling In
The first three weeks are about adjustment rather than acceleration. Most patients begin at the 2.5mg starting dose, which introduces the medication gently to your system.
- Appetite changes may be subtle at this stage
- Mild nausea or digestive discomfort is common and usually short-lived
- Weight loss during this phase is typically modest, often between 0.5kg and 1.5kg
- Focus on building consistent habits around meal timing, hydration and protein intake
- Use your tracker to note any side effects, energy levels and early appetite changes
Do not be discouraged if the scales do not move dramatically in these first weeks. Your body is adapting, and the groundwork being laid now matters for what comes next.
Phase Two: Weeks 4 to 6 — Building Momentum
By week four, many patients are beginning to feel the medication working more noticeably. For those who move to 5mg around week five, appetite suppression typically becomes more pronounced.
- Cumulative weight loss by the end of week six commonly reaches between 2kg and 4kg
- Portion sizes often feel naturally smaller without conscious effort
- Cravings for high-sugar or high-fat foods tend to reduce during this phase
- Tracking calorie intake becomes especially useful here to identify where results are strongest
Phase Three: Weeks 7 to 9 — Consistency Is Key
This is often the phase where patients notice the most visible changes. Weight loss becomes more predictable, and the lifestyle habits formed in the earlier weeks begin to feel more natural.
- Total weight loss by week nine can range from 3kg to 6kg depending on starting weight and lifestyle factors
- Some patients progress to 7.5mg during this phase following a clinical review
- Logging nutrition and activity in your tracker helps identify what is working and where adjustments may be needed
- Plateaus can occur during this phase; they are normal and often temporary
Phase Four: Weeks 10 to 12 — Reflecting and Planning Ahead
The final phase is as much about planning ahead as it is about results. By week 12, you should have a clear picture of how your body has responded to treatment and what your next steps look like.
- Cumulative weight loss by week 12 typically ranges from 4kg to 8kg, though results vary considerably between individuals
- Review your tracker with your prescriber to assess progress and discuss continuation or dose adjustment
- Non-scale victories, such as improved energy, better sleep and reduced cravings, are equally worth tracking
- Your 12-week data becomes the foundation for a longer-term weight management plan
