7 Ways Sesame Can Help You Stick to Your 2025 Weight Loss Goals

Every year, weight management is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions in America. In a recent survey, 1 in 5 Americans cited weight loss as their goal for 2025, while 20% vowed to eat healthier, and 22% were determined to exercise more.

But while weight management is an extremely common resolution, it’s also one of the most difficult goals to achieve. Why? Because losing weight (and keeping it off) is hard to do without a plan. Crash dieting and suddenly taking up intense exercise almost ensures that your resolution won’t stick. Instead, you need a real plan – one that includes real goal-setting, real support, and real changes – to see real results.

That’s why we created Success by Sesame: an affordable, month-to-month weight loss plan that combines effective medications with ongoing support and advice from a dedicated doctor.

Read on for 7 reasons why Success by Sesame is the weight loss plan you’ll stick with.

1. It’s the most affordable weight loss plan of its kind

A weight loss program with affordable pricing can be a game-changer when it comes to staying consistent with your weight loss. When your weight loss medication and support is budget-friendly, it becomes a sustainable part of your routine and lets you focus on achieving results instead of constantly reassessing if you can afford to continue.

That’s why Success by Sesame offers the lowest price on the market for a program of its kind: just $249 per month, including compounded GLP-1 medication, video visits, unlimited provider messaging, labs and more. And for those with insurance (which is more likely to cover expensive GLP-1 medications), patients can opt for an $89/mo Success by Sesame plan that includes a prescription for name-brand GLP-1 medications if appropriate, along with assistance with insurance paperwork to reduce the cost of your medication.

2. You can choose your own dedicated provider

The ability to choose your own healthcare provider can make a huge difference in your success. Everyone’s path to weight loss is different, and having the ability to select a provider who understands your goals, preferences, and health history ensures you receive care that truly works for you.

To ensure that you feel empowered from the very start, Sesame gives you the ability to browse provider profiles – along with reviews from other weight loss patients just like yourself – before you begin your journey. And after signing up, you’ll be able to continue your weight loss journey with your provider for consistent, ongoing monitoring and support from someone who truly understands you and your goals.

3. Safe, effective weight loss treatments

GLP-1 medications like Wegovy (semaglutide), Ozempic (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) are considered to be the most effective weight loss medication on the market, with patients losing an average of 5% of their body weight in just 3 months - but without insurance coverage, they can cost upwards of $1,000 per month.

That’s why Sesame offers access to both brand-name GLP-1 medications and compounded semaglutide, a non-brand name version of semaglutide made by compounding pharmacies that is more affordable for patients without insurance coverage.

Sesame’s pre-filled compounded semaglutide is sourced from reputable, state-licensed 503B pharmacies with stringent quality control standards, and all batches of compounded semaglutide undergo microbiological testing and analysis from an accredited third-party testing laboratory in order to assess quality and safety.

4. Pre-filled medications and clear instructions that make dosing a snap

If you’ve never used an injectable medication before, starting a GLP-1 medication for weight loss can feel intimidating! To help make the process easier, Sesame’s compounded semaglutide comes in the form of a pre-filled, pre-measured syringe to ensure that you’re always dispensing the right dose.

Your subscription also includes face-to-face video advice from your provider, helpful onboarding videos for administering weight loss injections, and unlimited provider messaging for questions about medication, side effects, and dosage adjustments – because whether you’re prescribed brand-name prescription weight loss medication or opt for compounded semaglutide instead, your health and comfort is Sesame’s priority.

5. Seamlessly switch from compounded to branded medications as needed

Life is unpredictable: Financial situations can change. Job status can change. And insurance coverage can change, which can affect your medication costs.

That’s why Success by Sesame lets you move seamlessly from compounded medications (a more affordable option for those without insurance coverage) to branded medications (ideal for those with insurance), so that you can stick to your weight loss plan even if there’s an unexpected shift in your financial situation or medication coverage.

6. Trustworthy service backed by top-rated providers and brands

When you’re joining a weight loss program, you want to make sure that you’re in great hands - and with Sesame, you can be confident in the quality of care you’ll receive.

Along with a 95% patient satisfaction rating, Sesame was ranked #1 by Healthline for overall care in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, as well as Best for Doctor Choice in 2023 and 2024 by Forbes. Sesame has also partnered with world-class brands like Costco and DoorDash to expand affordable healthcare access to tens of millions of people.

Backed by thousands of licensed, board-certified clinicians and countless 5-star reviews, Sesame provides the reliable support you need to stay on track and achieve your weight loss goals with confidence and peace of mind.

7. Lifestyle guidance beyond medication for long-term success

At Sesame, we know that a great weight loss plan isn’t just about medication; it should provide you with the counsel you need to make key lifestyle and behavioral improvements for long-term results.

Getting professional care through Success by Sesame can help you eliminate the guesswork when it comes to these aspects. Your provider will help you set realistic goals and create a sustainable plan to meet those goals, like a nutrition plan, exercise schedule, or tips for improving your sleep quality or stress levels.

Creating an attainable outcome for yourself and sticking to your plan is key to long-term weight loss success. If you’d like to take the first step in your weight loss journey but aren’t sure where to begin, the Success by Sesame program is the place to start.
