We're working on a comprehensive educational guide for the GLP-1 Weight Loss Projection in your language. The content below is shown in English.

What is GLP-1 Weight Loss Projection?

▾

The GLP-1 Weight Loss Projection calculator estimates expected percentage of body weight loss over time based on clinical trial data for semaglutide and tirzepatide. It uses average weight loss curves from landmark trials like STEP and SURMOUNT to provide realistic month-by-month projections.

DigiCalcs delivers precision-engineered tools for engineers and STEM professionals.

Worked Examples

▾

Example 1

Given:220 lbs starting weight on semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy)

Резултат:Projected weight at 68 weeks: 220 × (1 - 0.149) = 187.2 lbs, a loss of 32.8 lbs (14.9% body weight per STEP 1 trial)

Example 2

Given:250 lbs starting weight on tirzepatide 15 mg (Zepbound)

Резултат:Projected weight at 72 weeks: 250 × (1 - 0.208) = 198 lbs, a loss of 52 lbs (20.8% body weight per SURMOUNT-1 trial)

Frequently Asked Questions

▾

How much weight will I actually lose on Ozempic or Wegovy?

Clinical trials show average weight loss of 14.9% of body weight on semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) over 68 weeks. Individual results vary widely — some patients lose 20%+ while others lose less than 5%. Lifestyle modifications significantly improve outcomes.

Is tirzepatide more effective than semaglutide for weight loss?

Head-to-head data from the SURMOUNT trials show tirzepatide 15 mg achieves roughly 20.8% body weight loss vs. semaglutide's 14.9%, though direct comparison trials are ongoing. Both are significantly more effective than prior anti-obesity medications.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

▾

!Expecting linear weight loss — GLP-1 weight loss follows a curve that plateaus around 60-72 weeks
!Not accounting for starting BMI: patients with higher BMI often lose a greater absolute amount but similar percentage
!Comparing results directly between medications without considering dose differences and trial populations

💡

Pro Tip

Weigh yourself at the same time each week (morning, after bathroom, before eating) and track the trend line rather than daily fluctuations for the most accurate comparison to projected results.
