Tool
Am I normal?
Wondering if your weight loss is “on track”? Log your weigh-ins below and this tool compares your own trajectory to the average from the landmark GLP-1 trials — at the same number of weeks in, not at the finish line. It also reads whether a flat stretch is more likely everyday noise or a genuine plateau. Everything stayson your device. This is a mirror, not a prediction — and never a reason to change a dose.
Your weigh-ins
Add your starting weigh-in first (change the date to the day you began), then any weigh-ins since. Two is enough to start. Once a week, under the same conditions (e.g. mornings), is plenty — daily weighing mostly shows water, not fat.
How to read this honestly
- “Below the average” is not failure. Roughly half of trial participants were below the average, and many who started slowly still did well. The average is a reference line, not a pass mark.
- One weigh-in tells you almost nothing. Weight swings a few pounds day to day from water, food, and hormones. Trends over weeks are what matter.
- The curve is a reference, not a target to chase. Don’t try to “catch up” by skipping meals or eating less — under-eating costs you muscle, not just fat. Eating enough, especially protein, is what protects you.
- Plateaus are expected. In the trials, loss slowed and leveled off over time; one likely reason is that the body adjusts to a lower weight. That’s expected, not the medicine failing.
- This tool can’t see your body. Muscle, health conditions, other medicines, and life all shift the picture. It compares numbers to a trial average — nothing more.
Whatever this shows, don’t change your dose on your own. If you’re worried about your pace, a stall, losing very fast, or not losing at all, that’s a conversation with your prescriber — bring the log. Rapid or unexplained weight loss always deserves a clinician’s eye. And if the number on the scale — or your eating — is causing you real distress, that matters more than any curve and is itself a good reason to reach out to a clinician.
