Semaglutide can drive rapid change. Tracking the right metrics helps you stay safe, preserve muscle, and make better decisions with your prescriber.
Weight trends, not daily numbers
Daily weight fluctuates. Watch weekly trends to judge real progress and avoid unnecessary anxiety.
Side effects by dose
Log nausea, fatigue, and GI symptoms against your current dose. This makes titration decisions clearer for you and your care team.
Protein and body composition
Track protein intake and lean mass so the weight you lose is fat, not muscle.
