I’ve been stalled at this weight for many weeks on 5mg Mounjaro. But you’re so right. A bit more appetite is coming through but I’m not gaining. I’d like to lose 15 more pounds so asking my doc for 7.5 next week. Then I can relax on maintenance and enjoy my weight loss and health benefits. I don’t eat perfectly, my activity is low to moderate, I don’t aspire to be model slim but I’m 78 so I’m cutting myself some slack 🤭
Great content!!! Thank you 😊

my weight loss slowed down for a few weeks, but my body size got smaller. then the weight loss started again.

I just tell people that if it wasn’t working, you’d be gaining weight back. It’s medicine. It doesn’t stop working.

Perfect. I think I'm there now. I've been averaging 2ish lbs a week sconce Feb. until the last 4 weeks same weight up down 1-3. Upped to 10mg Zep 2 weeks ago but no change.

It's the same as someone does keto. They stop losing weight, someone gives them a long confusing explanation. But the reality is they need to start counting calories to lower input versus output.

Excellent explanation!

I'm still at lowest dose, I've been using body building strategies whenever my weekly weigh in is zero. I just eat whatever I want and take a rest day within what the medicine allows me. Instead of a week off after long term weight loss to break the plateau I only need like a day or two. I don't go crazy or anything, but maybe I go up to my non deficit maintenance calories number so my body doesn't think it's starving anymore… and I go back to weight loss…after going back to a 500-700 calorie deficit depending on how many extra calories I need to sustain my workout energy. (My maintenance calories are higher for an active person, might be different for people still on sedentary calories…)

I lost 46 lbs on a 2.0 compounded Tirzepatide. Got on the bridge program at month 13. 2.5 zepbound and lost 1 lb. Have been there for 3 months. Nothing has changed with my lifestyle. I am lifting, cardio, walking after lunch and dinner everyday. I eat 115 grams of protein, 20-25 fiber and 80-100 oz of water. Since I am within 4lbs of my goal weight I don’t really want to go up in dose. I plan on staying on this dose permanently. Seems weird to me that is the stopping point for this dose.

How does it work with diabetes? When does one go up with diabetes

@Taby-v5g 1 day ago

So how do you know when to move up. I’ve been on 10 for 4 months and am struggling with food noise quite a bit this past month.

How long would you wait before bumping up to the next dose if they haven't lost more weight but they are still experiencing good appetite control? I had a 2 week period where I didn't lose due to cycle related water weight, and then I had a big whoosh afterwards.

Usually this channel provides decent information, but this time I could not disagree more!

There a lot of stories online of people reaching a plateau but keeping the dose the same, and after a few weeks they break it.
Or people telling that even with a higher dose, the plateau stayed a few weeks before moving again.

But ok, that's the internet.
My sister in law however had a plateau for 4 weeks, and without increasing the dose, she lost +10 pounds after on the same dose.
So I tend to believe those internet stories!

What you are saying regarding the medication is helpful but you seem to ignore that the weight loss/weight is impacted by the food you eat.
You did the same thing with your example of statins is similar. Sure the medicine will lower your cholesterol to a level but if you eat high cholesterol foods, it won't be the lowest level possible on that dose.

Down 1.2% in my first week on Tirzepatide compound with a low starting dose of 1.5mg.
At day 5 changed to a 2mg dose.

Having a great outcome on 2mg so I’ll do 2mg again tomorrow on the 5th day.
