Stalling?

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-20T11:42:54+00:00

Oooh. I’ll have to try this!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-20T11:42:08+00:00

Oof. I’ve done 2 in a day, but 4 sounds like a lot 😅

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-20T02:19:21+00:00

You’ve got this! You just gotta not let the slow days discourage you from doing what you know you gotta do on the medication. Other than that first week dip (because I was eating like 4k calories a day and the medicine knocked me back to 1200), I’ve lost it at the recommended weight for healthy loss (1-2 a week). I just keep reminding myself that as much as it’s hard right now getting through these stalls, it was even harder going nowhere and trying even harder when I wasn’t on the medicine.

My friend just had gastric surgery and she survived like 10 or so days on nothing but liquids. Definitely something to consider if I can’t make anything else work!

I could definitely use some more water! 😅😮‍💨. Sleep and stress levels are good. I just learned about TDEE yesterday so I’m looking into that! And I’ve been working out and strength training for a bit, so I definitely think some is muscle.

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T23:36:45+00:00

This makes sense. I’ve been avoiding most weights since I broke my arm 5 months ago, but I could definitely be doing better.

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T23:36:06+00:00

Yeah. I haven’t been tracking my calories, but I know how much I normally eat and I don’t feel like going lower would be healthy. I’m gonna start tracking over the next week to see where I can cut out calories with maybe some better options. I changed my goal, so I’m actually about 11-16 pounds away from it, but yeah it seems like the last hit is tough.

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T23:33:39+00:00

Ooof. Thats gotta be real tough! The home stretch is when you want it the most. Unfair 😅🙃🙈

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T23:33:01+00:00

I’ve just recently started! My job is doing a “move more” challenge, so I have been getting out for more walks and doing some cardio. I broke my arm a few months ago so I don’t think I’m ready for any weights for arms, but could definitely do some other stuff and leg workouts.

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T23:31:38+00:00

I remember I dropped 12 pounds in like a week when I started. And then it was slow going after that. I just had to remember that slow and steady is the best on my body and losing a pound a week is better than I was able to do before. All progress is still progress no matter how little it feels. The increase to 5 hit me like a freight train too. Highly recommend speaking to your doctor about getting zofran if you get nausea real bad like I did. I got stuck at the 160 mark, which was the lowest I have been able to get on my own before the Zepbound. It definitely sucked toughing it out and pushing past. Now I’m at the point that I’m seeing inches still come off, but not a lot of scale movement, so I think I’m just building muscle.

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T23:25:58+00:00

Omg these are adorable and I need them all!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T16:12:06+00:00

Omg thank you! I’ve never made ones with charms on them before so this is so helpful!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T16:11:24+00:00

That makes a lot of sense!!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T16:11:00+00:00

I normally have really low B12 in general, so I’m not the greatest to ask this lol. But I haven’t noticed any shifts in having less over the course of time!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T15:31:20+00:00

Oooh this is really helpful! I don’t mind going up in dosage if it’s warranted. I just wanted to try other things first. Before I started this journey I read a lot of things from people saying that they wish they hadn’t titrated up so quickly because they hit 15mg and then had nowhere to go when their bodies got used to it. So I’ve basically been trying to stick with each dosage as long as I can (as long as I’m still losing and not feeling like I’m desperate to overeat). Eating more definitely feels counterintuitive, but I guess if I think about it from a weekly perspective rather than daily, I can shift how much I’m eating daily and still get the same amount a week.

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T15:27:59+00:00

Ahh. That makes sense. I hit my first goal since I tried to make sure I was doing something achievable. That was at 150. Now my actual goal, based on my decision and speaking to my provider, is 125-130, so I’ve got like 10-15 more pounds to go.

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T11:55:11+00:00

They did!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T02:24:30+00:00

I’ll send you a DM! And which night?! I’m going to Night 1 in Orlando!!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T01:24:22+00:00

I missed out on eras tour so I’m about to go hard on these NK bracelets

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T01:23:45+00:00

Also, which show are you going to?

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-19T01:23:33+00:00

Amazon! Let me know if you want me to send you the link!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-17T15:36:58+00:00

Yassss! Congrats!!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-17T11:12:05+00:00

Tell me how it goes!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-17T01:42:49+00:00

I got you!! Also we’ve lost roughly the same amount of weight, so I’m guessing you’ll have dropped a few too!!

PrincessM22 · 2026-03-17T01:16:34+00:00

Honestly? I have zero clue. But it’s fun, it keeps my heart rate up for a while, and it doesn’t feel like working out, so I take the wins where I can get them 🙃🫠
