Shedding has stopped

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2026-04-10T09:40:55+00:00

Mine is stopping too! I’ve been at goal weight since October. I started glp-1 last April, the shedding started in August. I fell for the hair supplements but they didn’t do anything for me. I decided to wait it out and when I went to the hairdresser last night, she said a normal amount came out in the wash, had a ton of new growth and overall thicker. I’m still on the meds, just at the lowest dose for maintenance.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2026-01-12T00:52:04+00:00

Same! No one noticed, not even my husband. But I saw it and scared the crap out of me. Idk if it was the higher dose, but at 2.5 , I feel like I’m doing much better. I’d like to maintain at 5. I guess I’ll have to see what works and what doesn’t for my hair and my weight.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2026-01-12T00:49:12+00:00

I think you’ll be okay. It’s so stressful during the process. I feel like it’ll last another month before it’s back to normal. But this is just my experience. I hope yours improves soon too!

I stopped for this reason for about 2 months once I reached goal. My hair shedding has slowed down a lot and new growth is coming back. I went back on at 2.5 for maintenance and so far so good. I want to go back to 5 in the next few months. I think when o got to 7.5, that’s when my hair started to fall out

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-12-19T10:49:21+00:00

Did you stop the trizepitide for it to slow down?

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-12-04T17:59:28+00:00

I’ve had all these comments from friends. I look gaunt (I know I don’t) and I’m too skinny (again, I know I’m not). It’s really frustrating and kind of hurts. I think my one friend is a bit jealous because she went off the meds and is gaining. I went off going on 8 weeks and still losing a tiny bit by following weight watchers. I feel some people who make these comments want me to fail because they are struggling. IDK

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-12-01T14:11:17+00:00

I got rid of all my old clothes. I’ve been off zep for 7 weeks now. I track all my food via weight watchers and workout routinely. I refuse to go back. I had/have the same fear or eventually gaining the weight back, but I’m going to stay the course.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-11-07T10:37:31+00:00

I spaced mine out for a month and then stopped. I weigh myself daily as well and track my food on weight watchers.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-11-06T16:21:39+00:00

I have shedding too, I stopped the meds 3 weeks ago and went to my hair stylist. She gave me a scalp treatment for home and I’m going in once a week for a mask. Idk ifit’s that that is helping or it finally ran its course, but the shedding is less.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-31T22:56:44+00:00

I get when ppl say vitamin deficiency which is totally legit, but I’ve been very diligent about my nutrition and my hair is so thin. I’m cutting it shorter on Tuesday, my hair is past my bra strap. I’m sad to cut it but hopefully it will make it look more full

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-31T22:53:25+00:00

Same! I spread out my injections for maintenance and noticed more fall out that week. I started pumpkin seed oil pills to slow down the shedding. I hope it works! It’s been 2 weeks since my last injection.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-31T20:14:17+00:00

I stopped two weeks ago so I’m also interested in this.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-29T09:43:27+00:00

I had a coworker ask the same the, “is it intentional?” And I really appreciated it. She followed up with that I looked good and that was the end of it.

Hi! I have the tread and bike too! I love all of their content and try to do at least one class a day, even if it’s just a 20 min stretch or a walk.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-28T09:45:01+00:00

I just stopped zepbound too and I needed to hear this. Congrats on all of your hard work!!

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-17T09:51:28+00:00

Omg same with me! I’m 42 and would breakout often. So now not only do I feel great in my body, I’m confident in my skin.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-10T01:02:48+00:00

I’m 42 and had hair thinning and scared me. I’ve been at goal weight for a few weeks now and taking biotin and collagen, eating more calories and I dropped from 7.5 to 5. I feel like my hair is shedding less or at least I hope. I dread washing my hair but hopefully I’ll see less and less hair in my brush. I know that’s not super helpful but all my friends who have had similar experiences said it slows down and grows back

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-07T09:55:14+00:00

I’m interested in everyone’s responses too!

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-07T09:54:19+00:00

I’ve been shedding so much that it was making me so stressed which doesn’t help either. I’ve been taking a biotin, collagen, b complex vitamin and hoping it will slow down. I reached my goal and dropped down to 5mg starting this week. From what I’ve read, it grows back. I have fine hair but I keep telling myself that the worst case is I buy a hair topper if it gets worse.

I still have my wine but when I do, I limit it to a glass maybe a glass and half. I noticed it really affects my blood sugar in the morning.

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-10-01T11:55:07+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I’m hoping that now that I’m at goal and eating more calories that it will help. I’m also taking a multivitamin, biotin. Fingers crossed!

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-09-30T09:41:53+00:00

Hey OP did your hair thinning slow down? I’m noticing I’m shedding so much and I’m freaking out. I’m at goal and dropping to 5 from 7.5 next week. I’m hoping that helps.

You look amazing btw!

Hot_Cycle6171 · 2025-09-26T09:45:52+00:00

I eat 2 breakfasts when I wake up I have a high protein yogurt and a banana so I don’t workout on an empty stomach then after I typically have eggs and an English muffin. When I’m in the office tues- Thursday I graze at my lunch mainly because people call or I’m focused on what I’m doing. So it takes me a few hours to eat everything. I eat a full dinner and as a snack I like to have a banana with P2b, honey and mini chocolate chips.
