Lavender Sky Health<\/a>, which seemed to be the best price. They had a website that looked like my grandmother made it in 1994, but they partnered with top compounding pharmacies, so I didn\u2019t mind. (They revamped the website, and it looks much more modern now.)<\/p>\nWhen I was just starting, it was around $136\/mo. They now allow me to order in larger amounts, as my body has built up a resistance and isn\u2019t just on the starter dose. My last order for generic semaglutide was for 25mg at $425. Typically, I use 1mg a week, so that works out to be $17\/week ($425 divided by 25). That turns out to be around $900 a year or $75\/month. It really is an amazing price. The pharmacy companies that make the name brands have lowered their prices a lot, but the cheapest seems to be $349\/month.<\/p>\n
I had expected that the generic, compounded ones would have been taken off the market by now. However, like nearly all things involving the US judicial system, the process is long and drawn-out. For once, it\u2019s actually to my benefit, so I\u2019ll take the win.<\/p>\n
One Year GLP-1 Review<\/h2>\n
I\u2019m 5\u20198\u2033 tall, and I was at 191 pounds at the end of 2023. (All the numbers are using a monthly average of my Fitbit Aria scale.) A few days in there, probably after a meal and fully clothed, I was at 197 or so. That was enough for me to make the resolution to lose weight that no one keeps. Here\u2019s how 2024 went:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2025\/11\/2024-weight-chart.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t start taking the GLP-1 until November. That\u2019s why this is a one-year review. Before that, I lost 10 pounds the traditional way of diet and exercise. However, you can see that I plateaued for five months starting in June. Then you see about a 3-pound loss in November and December. Here\u2019s what 2025 looks like:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2025\/11\/2025-weight-chart.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You can see that January was about 174 or so for another 3-pound loss. There was a big change in March when I didn\u2019t bring the medicine with me on a two-week vacation. One week was a cruise with all-you-can-eat food. The extra weight didn\u2019t factor in the charts until I got back and started weighing myself in April. The next two months brought me down to 171, which is where I\u2019ve been. I have lost a little weight during the months that we aren\u2019t on vacation, and then gain one or two pounds during the months we are on vacation. That brings us to this November. We went to Puerto Rico for a bit, and I\u2019m sure that Thanksgiving will raise the numbers a bit again.<\/p>\n
Final Analysis<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s almost too perfect. I lost 10 pounds through diet and exercise, and another 10 pounds through medical innovation. I\u2019ve purposely continued with the lower 1mg dosage because my BMI is 25.8. That\u2019s still overweight, but I\u2019m not in a race. I think the Average Joe would say I\u2019m kind of crazy for taking semaglutide when it\u2019s that close to the fit range.<\/p>\n
The bigger change than losing weight is that I drink less. This is a common thing that people on semaglutide experience. That\u2019s been a very good thing and probably helps my longevity more than losing the weight.<\/p>\n
The other thing is that I feel like I finally have a modern science working for me rather than against me. It seems our lives get busier and busier. With less and less time, almost everyone is looking to take a shortcut. Unfortunately, that often means choosing ultraprocessed foods that are readily available, which have been designed to make people overeat. Maybe I\u2019m crazy for justifying taking semaglutide that way, but I\u2019ve been called crazy for a lot less.<\/p>\n
