All weight loss pens are supplied with the right quantity of needles you require for injecting. You will need to store your Saxenda pre-filled pen in a refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) before your first use. Once you start using the pen, you can keep it for 1 month either at room temperature (2 to 30°C) or in a refrigerator (2°C to 8°C). Do not freeze. When you take Saxenda you need to gradually increase your dose in 0.6mg intervals, until you reach what is called the maintenance dose at 3mg daily.

This is part of the reason the last 10 pounds are so hard to lose – while you are trying to lose more, the body is resisting and trying to put the weight back on by decreasing metabolism and increasing hunger.
Weight loss is tricky in that multiple factors play into how much weight is lost, how quickly it comes off and for how long the weight loss is maintained. To successfully lose a sizeable amount of weight, a person needs to be committed to significant long-term lifestyle changes. The goal is to create a caloric deficit so that fewer calories are eaten than are expended. With about 3500 calories in a pound, a 500-calorie deficit each day through decreased food intake and increased physical activity leads to about a one-pound weight loss per week – initially. By simply making relatively minor lifestyle changes [like cutting out that 20oz bottle of soda everyday (250 calories)] and taking the 45-minute, 2.5 mile walk each day (about 250 calories), you could drop a few pounds early on with little difficulty. But after a few weeks to months and several pounds later, continued weight loss becomes much more difficult. A good analogy when considering the trials and tribulations of trying to lose significant amounts of weight is to compare weight loss to competing in a marathon. For those readers who have never participated in a marathon, and perhaps have no desire to ever do so, here are just a few basic pieces of information that you need for this analogy to make sense. The marathon principles are followed by a description of what each point has to do with losing those last 10 pounds. (Disclaimer: these are just generalizations that may not apply to every runner or person trying to lose weight.)
