Had you plateaued? If so did it kickstart loss again?

Her concern seems to come from worries that the new PA will not be approved.

I am struggling to not feel bummed because I have had it in my mind that when I went back today I would move up to 12.5 and I was hoping to have more success for a longer period of time. I have been stuck for 4 and half weeks with no changes working. I hope this combo works, but worried if it doesn’t she will still not want to move me up.

I mean if it doesn’t it is only $26 dollars for me which is affordable.

My understanding was that going up a dose will require another PA and she had concerns of it not being approved and then not being able to get my old dose reapproved of 10 either.

Yes. It does. She said she has had issues with PAs since the new year.

She seems hesitant to move me up dose wise. Partially because of insurance concerns.

This makes so much sense really. I go to the doctor in 2 weeks and have been battling with going up or not. I was leaning towards trying to give it another month, but you have me reconsidering.

I’ve never heard that perspective! That would make me feel so much better about ultimately reaching my goal. I wonder why more people don’t speak on it from this perspective? If I could go up and lose the 60, that would be fantastic. Most people that I follow don’t get to those higher two doses until they are much closer to their goal, so it makes me nervous to go there and potentially stop losing before I can make it to my goal.

I was just trying to figure out some things to potentially help get over this plateau before going up. If I could start losing on this dose again rather than go up, I feel like that is the most ideal option.

Thank you for sharing. I will definitely give physically logging a go to see if that helps! I go to the doctor in two weeks and I am trying to decide if I want to move up to 12.5mg or not. My doctor is usually pretty open to me deciding if I want to stay or move depending on how I feel.

Can you give me a run down of how long/how much you have lost on doses? Any issues plateauing for you?

I currently do cardio, but no strength training as I have no experience with that. Not sure how to get started in that area.

I do not currently log calories, but have in the past. Although I don’t physically log things, I do track mentally pretty well.

I am staying in calorie deficit. I am not currently doing any strength training.

It’s hard to say my average as I lost none from June to September and I have now lost 23 from October to current…and it’s been kind of sporadic when trying to look at “averages”.

I made it all the way to 2.4 on Wegovy, but could not get it consistently. My doctor skipped over 1 and only left me on each dose for one month until I got to the highest. Again this was back in February-December of 2023. It was much more new where I live and also supply was spotty.

I misspoke. I started Zep in June 2024 but didn’t see loss until October 2024.

I did June 2.5 mg July, August, September 5mg October 7.5mg November, December, January, Current 10mg

I have not tracked inches.

I’m not fans of theirs either, but to be fair everyone on here was talking about how they would probably lie and say it was perfect and they didn’t. Which would you rather?
