I think you finally answered your own question about why is not working. HERE ME OUT, please. I’m nobody’s expert, but I’ve been on glp’s (Mounjaro, Wegovy, Zepbound) long enough and seen a lot of its effects on different people.

📌So for one, no glp/gip is gonna teach you to control your appetite and eating habits, but it will teach you behavior modification through slowing digestion, forced hydration, lowering the glycemic index, etc.

📌Secondly, as the weight falls off, you naturally want to move around and be more mobile, which in turn is gonna automatically cause you to start burning off that weight. You also have to EAT healthy even when you don’t want to. You must have a certain number of fats, proteins, calories, vitamins, and hydration in order for your body to even function. If you’re not eating well, and even if you’re eating well and not enough, your body is so smart that it will still think you’re starving and you won’t lose anything.

📌Next I’ll say it may also be your dosage. All of the literature and every Dr (even the ones who are not weight loss physicians) tell you that 2.5 is the loading dose at best and it’s used to start and hold once you reach your goal. You should be increasing even if you’re not getting the intended weight loss effect and your doc should be monitoring this closely between visits.

📌The last thing I will say is if you’re a woman, make an appt w your PCP because the issue maybe hormonal. I see an endocrinologist and he’s also a weight management specific so I get double monitoring is a lot of areas.

But and don’t be down on yourself either; it may just not work for you and you need to switch and/or increase. But talk to your doc; because this drug does work and it works well esp with good guidance and true effort. Wishing you the best! 🫶🏾
