What kind of results can I expect?Other weight loss places may make promises and guarantees, but instead of gimmicks we prefer to let the results speak for themselves. Results are dependent on individuals, so come and find out what you can achieve. On semaglutide, once you reach the full dose, it is typically a steady 1-3 pound of weight loss a week.
