Weight stall has me wondering. 5mg 4wk now 2wk no loss

😂😂

Hey Allie. The sucktastic YT filter is deleting my comment for some very dumb reason (as it tends to do), so I’m gonna multi-part this sucka (see the replies to this comment) and see what gets through. Shouldn’t have to, but u do you, RUclips. 🙄

I was on 7.5 for 4 months. First month was pretty intense, borderline TOO strong on the appetite suppression… but I did lose 10 lbs that month. Overall, I think it was my favorite dose. It settled into a nice groove starting the second month on it, and didn’t cause much in the way of side effects. Also lost more weight overall on 7.5 than any dose so far (am currently on Zep 12.5).

Amazing progress! You seem so happy, hope you have a good day 🎉

Wow… 130+ views, and NO comments ‘til now? You have an oddly passive audience, Allie. 😆 Anyhoo, on your question… really, EVERY dose feels really strong that first month you’re on it. Like almost TOO strong. 😱 But then, your body starts to get used to it. Any side effects tend to become minimal to none. And, as you lose more weight, your body starts to fight back harder against that, by increasing your hunger hormones and decreasing your satiety hormones. And before you know it, that ‘almost too strong dose’ becomes ‘just right’, and then ‘adequate’, and finally, ‘not quite enough’. And then you titrate up again, to ‘almost TOO strong’. Just kinda the way it works. I was on 7.5 for 4 months, and that was my arc with it. Though there are a few ‘high-responders’ who do manage to hit their goal weight on 5 or even 2.5. The real thing to remember is that the manufacturer’s guideline to titrate up each and every single month is *too aggressive* for many (maybe even most) ppl. 😯 It can cause you to ‘get ahead of yourself’, be on a higher dose than you really need to be at the time, and of course experience considerably WORSE side effects than a more conservative/slower dose increase schedule would’ve put you through. 😭 As long as you’re still losing on a particular dose and side effects are minimal, there’s probably no burning reason to move up. 🤷🏼‍♂️ So yeah, if you were still losing on 5, maybe you should go back to 5. But, there’s a good chance that 5 will eventually ‘run its course’ down the road, and you’ll then need the 7.5. But, that doesn’t necessarily have to be RIGHT NOW. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Work! Exercise so that when you're in your 70's you can walk without a walker, not so that you look good in a bikini in the summers because when that's the only reason you exercise you will never really be satisfied with how you look in the bathing suit anyway.

You're an inspiration beautiful ❤

Amazing progress! Good luck on your journey! You got this! 🎉

Exactly right. 🌟 And this idea that you have to be a diabetic to be on a GLP-1 medication is nonsense. Not only have the FDA indications for these types of meds spread beyond T2D to obesity, but they’ve already spread further than THAT… to CVD (Wegovy approved for cardiovascular disease). And will very likely spread *further* in coming years, to things like fatty liver disease, kidney disease, sleep apnea, perhaps even Alzheimer’s. They’re actively discovering more and more conditions that these meds can help. So, GLP-1s may have *started* as T2D medications, but that is definitely NOT all they are now, or what they will be in the future. 🤔 So, to all the ppl out there with loud, angry, low-information opinions on the matter (aka “How DARE you use meds that were intended for diabetes!!”)… you’re not keeping up with the science, and you don’t get it. 🧪 The meds are winning and will continue to win FDA approvals for, and be used for, all the things that they’re found to be safe and effective to treat. And you’re just gonna have to get used to it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

How did you do? It looks good.

YOU GOO ❤❤

Get it girl!!

Yup, def startin’ to see it. 👌🏻 For me, it was a bit different… had to lose over 40 lbs. before it started showing up in the face in a real major way. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you have sore throat the first week of your shot? Wondering if its a side affect cz i do right npw

Always meds. Willpower.

Do you atleast try???

Is this bait?

Right I feel that so much! Cause when you exercise more you tend to need more fuel so that the recovery process is easy and you can consistently continue to exercise more. I understand it might be different for some people though.

that’s quite literally how you lose weight

The American Medical Association (aka *doctors)* agree with you. They’ve classified obesity as a disease since 2013.💡

Booooooooooo

Stop making excuses for yourself

Oh sweety... you are so innocent.... those parties do exist... your just not rich enough to get invited. South park hit the nail on the head ... just like you say these parties dont happen for this drug.. people used to say the same with opioids and many other drugs that have been used at parties just like this.

They are really smart and if you have not picked up on this they care a lot about the bull shit hoops you have to jump through for anything. And have a great sense for hypocrisy

Yeah, because there's no way someone would share their personal experience with someone else and educate them on the subject...

You just sucked your stomach in lmaooo

I dont care what anyone says. Running for 62 days straight is some gangster shit right there

❤

Calorie-wise, it’s actually not that bad. 🤷‍♂️ I just worry about stuff like sodium and sat-fat. Dig In-N-Out, but they just can’t be more than an occasional thing for me (once/week at most).

Wow, great progress! Keep going!

Good Job🎉

Congrats!

tool 🔥🔥🔥

Looking good, keep going. Love the poster!

Just try {insert new weight loss fad that is not simply eating healthy food and excercising more}

Can you imagine being on the platform, about to board a train, and seeing this lady record this... Wondering if she's feeling okay today, and then hoping, praying, you're not going to be sat next to her for the whole trip.

The only way: an energy-controlled, balanced diet with moderate exercise. It's the only way.

CICO And then you can A: take vitamins B: eat nutrient dense food

Carnivore - yum and yay. Never go hungry again.

Is that Fear Inoculum in the background ??!

I’ve nicknamed my scale ‘Hard But Fair’. 🤷‍♂️

What are you on about

easy dont recommend.

Sums it up. Can also add from direct experience that NutriSystem is indeed lame. Just extreme calorie restriction hiding behind pricey proprietary food (that isn’t even good). You could do *exactly* the same thing for cheaper by just cutting your portions in half. If that was sustainable (it isn’t for most, at least w/out GLP-1s).

I heard meth first the first time

The meds don’t ‘stop working’. Really. 🤔 Rather, what happens is, as you lose more and more weight, your body starts ‘fighting back’ to defend its weight, by increasing your hunger hormones (ghrelin), decreasing your satiety hormones (leptin, etc), and turning down your metabolism some. 🥶 And the more weight you lose, the *harder* your body fights back. 🥊 And it’s REALLY good and persistent at doing this, which is why it’s hard to not only lose a lot of weight, but also to KEEP it off. 😢 The meds do offset this to a good extent, thankfully. 🙏 Sounds like you’ve lost a fair amt of weight, your body is ‘doing what bodies do’ in response, and it’s now time to titrate up to 5mg. ⬆️ And also double-check your lifestyle changes to make sure they’re all on-point. It helps. Good luck. 🌟
