Can I mention the telehealth service or pharmacy I use if I am not being paid?
No. The rule “No specific advertising.” bans plugging specific websites for pharmacies or doctors, so keep names out even when you are just sharing what worked for you.

Rule summary
- Be respectful.: We're all in different places on our weightloss journey. But if you're here, it's likely been a struggle. Remember that there's a human that probably also knows that struggle on the other end of your post or comment. I can't believe I need to say this, but this includes sending unsolicited pervy DMs to people who post progress pics. This isn't the place.
- No specific advertising.: It's okay to discuss places that have helped you find success, but please do not plug specific websites for pharmacies or doctors. Also, do not try to sell your prescriptions to others. That's illegal. Note: if your only contribution to the sub is comment after comment saying "dm me for my source," don't expect to be here long.
- Do not try to sell or share your medications.: Yes, Wegovy is expensive. No, it cannot be sold or shared. It is unsafe to share prescription medications with others, and in most cases it is also illegal. This is not the place to offer your spare Wegovy, or to ask for others' extra. Posting Wegovy for sale, asking for someone else's, or implying sharing it in any way will lead to a ban.
- Do not promote dangerous behavior.: Posts and comments promoting dangerous or unethical behavior with wegovy, or giving information on how to do dangerous things with the med, will result in removal of the post and a ban.
- Progress pics underwear or swimwear should be marked NSFW.: Use good judgment, protect those whom your pics may make uncomfortable. If you wouldn't wear it in the average corporate workplace, mark it NSFW. If you are posting in underwear or swimwear, it should always be marked NSFW.
Works well
- A first person story about your own weightloss journey on the medication, with no links and no brand names
- A plain text post asking the community a genuine question about something you are figuring out
- A lessons learned post about safe habits that made the medication easier to stick with
- A progress update with photos marked NSFW when needed, focused on how you feel rather than what you used
- A helpful comment answering someone else's question from your own experience, which builds trust before you ever post
Avoid
- Naming or linking a specific pharmacy, telehealth site, or doctor, even one you personally like
- Offering your spare Wegovy to anyone, or asking if anyone has extra doses to spare
- Hinting at where to buy the medication off label, like saying dm me for my source
- Posting progress photos in underwear or swimwear without marking them NSFW
- Giving instructions for using the medication in ways a doctor would call dangerous
- Being harsh or dismissive toward people earlier in their journey, including in comments you leave to soften up the room before a post
What r/WegovyWeightLoss Is For
This is an unofficial community for people who use Wegovy or other GLP-1 RA medications for weightloss, and for people who are curious about them. Wegovy is a once-weekly injection of semaglutide, which mimics a hormone called GLP-1 that helps regulate weight and blood sugar. People post here about their own experiences on the medication, things that helped them find success, and questions about getting started. The rules make clear that many members have struggled with weight for a long time, so the room runs on empathy and honesty rather than hype. It is a support community first, which means anyone showing up with a business angle needs to be extra careful.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides most things here is “No specific advertising.”, which allows you to discuss places that helped you find success but bans plugging specific websites for pharmacies or doctors. The rule “Do not try to sell or share your medications.” is the strictest one in the list, because offering spare Wegovy, asking for someone else's extra, or implying sharing in any way leads to a ban. The rule “Do not promote dangerous behavior.” removes posts and bans people who share ways to misuse the medication. The rule “Progress pics underwear or swimwear should be marked NSFW.” matters if your post includes photos, since underwear or swimwear shots must always carry the NSFW tag. The rule “Be respectful.” sets the tone for everything, because everyone here is on a hard journey and the moderators expect you to treat people accordingly.
What To Post
The safest and most welcome post here is a plain text story about your own experience, written like you are talking to people who understand the struggle. If a place genuinely helped you find success, the rules say you can discuss it, but you cannot name or link the specific website, so describe what happened and let people ask questions. Share practical, safe things you learned, like how you built habits around the medication or what your first weeks felt like, because that is the kind of post that helps someone reading at midnight. Ask honest questions about the journey, since a community built around support tends to reward people who show up as learners too. If you include progress photos, follow the NSFW rule exactly, marking anything in underwear or swimwear. Whatever you post, lead with respect, because that is rule one for a reason.
What To Avoid
Never plug a specific website for a pharmacy or a doctor, even if you genuinely liked the service. Never offer your spare Wegovy to anyone, never ask for someone else's extra, and never imply sharing in any way, because the rules say that leads to a ban. Do not comment things like dm me for my source, because the moderators call that pattern out by name and say people who do it should not expect to stay. Do not post or comment anything that promotes dangerous or unethical use of the medication, since that means removal and a ban. If you post progress photos in underwear or swimwear, always mark them NSFW, using the test of whether you would wear it in an average corporate workplace. And be respectful in every post and comment, because this is a community of people who have struggled.

Common questions about r/WegovyWeightLoss
Can I offer my leftover doses to someone who cannot afford the medication?
No. The rule “Do not try to sell or share your medications.” says offering spare Wegovy or asking for someone else's extra leads to a ban, and the moderators treat it that seriously.
Can I drop my link in the comments of other people's posts instead of making my own post?
No. The rule “No specific advertising.” says if your only contribution is comment after comment pointing people to your source, do not expect to be here long.
Can I post progress photos to show results?
Yes, but the rule “Progress pics underwear or swimwear should be marked NSFW.” requires the NSFW tag whenever you are in underwear or swimwear.
Are links allowed at all?
The rules do not say, so there is no green light here. The safest path is to post text first, be a genuine member of the conversation, and never plug a specific site.
