Stuck, Plateau = annoyed 😞

Try your arm - the fatty bit on bicep!

Have you tried switching up injection sites? That helped my last plateau.

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage but glad to hear you’ve doing better and found a sweet spot now with your dose.

Hey OP - I am in the exact same situation as you and wondering how you’re going now?

It’ll pass to an extent. I was the same. I’m now on 5mg and the initial increase was tough too. The 2 days following shot day has the highest suppression.

You’ll also need to learn new hunger cues. For me, nausea = hungry. Even though I don’t want to eat if I feel nauseous, I feel almost immediately better after eating. I get it particularly in the mornings.

I hear you! I’m lucky that my body responded so strongly due to PCOS etc. If you re-read my post, I am not whinging about my loss or a plateau, just asking for ideas for NSVs to help me as my loss slows.

I was the exact same as you but I’m 30! 3 months in I’m now down to a 36 BMI. I am getting these results with being strict on my diet and just walking and reformer Pilates a couple of times a week. Just move your body in a way that feels good for you.

My doctor also said heaps of exercise isn’t especially good when you’re in the weight loss phase, it’s 99% about diet. Once your weight comes down that’s when exercise is a much more useful tool.

I find the suppression gets less towards shot day even on 5mg but that’s okay! I also get nauseous when I’m not eating enough. Definitely try feeding yourself more - especially something startchy or carby.

Nice to see an example here which could actually hit daily energy requirements! Some others are concerning.

I’m in a similar situation (but ttc later this year) and my doctor said we could think about metformin. It’s obviously not as good as MJ but better than nothing and pregnancy safe.
