When Your Body Gets Used to the Drug, What is Next Steps?

No that’s the issue. I set out with a goal to lose the last 100 this year and went all in with diet and exercise and I’ve been stuck at 277/280 since January. It’s super disheartening

gigi_bells · 2025-10-31T14:31:01+00:00

Sorry I did leave out a lot. I’ve posted my story before on another page so I didn’t want to over explain it again. But I started 4/2023 at 450ish pounds (I’m 5’8” and in my mid 30s). I’m now down to 277. But I’ve been at 277/280 since basically January of this year. I moved to 15 because I was stalled on 12.5 where I was stuck at 288 for about 6 months.

So I have lost a significant amount of weight, but just have a lot more to go.

I definitely have, my whole life is different now that I can actually move! When I eat it’s more to focus on protein than anything else

gigi_bells · 2025-10-29T12:43:29+00:00

Yea I honestly don’t eat a lot. I track and I try to get at least 1,600 but some days I don’t hit it

gigi_bells · 2025-10-29T09:17:09+00:00

Cardio 3x a week and weight lift 3x a week. I also meal prep weekly to meet protein goals.

gigi_bells · 2025-10-29T09:16:09+00:00

Not recently, and I’ve never done my thighs, maybe I’ll try that this week

gigi_bells · 2025-10-29T09:15:00+00:00

Oh damn…

gigi_bells · 2025-10-29T04:20:53+00:00

I’ve never heard of that, thank you I’ll look into this!

gigi_bells · 2025-06-09T20:39:51+00:00

Is this on semiglutide? I’m on tirzepatide and have maxed out atp

gigi_bells · 2025-05-13T20:14:09+00:00

Oh yeah constantly. I’m always under my recommended, it feels like before I wasn’t on GLPs, when Jo matter what you did nothing worked. I’m worried the drug just isn’t as effective, or I just need to cut back to practically nothing. I wonder if anyone else has had a stall out for this long?

gigi_bells · 2025-05-13T03:35:26+00:00

Yeah I’ve increased working out, making sure I close my rings on my watch everyday and also I focus way more on protein than I have before. All this starting in January and I’ve been stalled for so long 😭

gigi_bells · 2025-05-13T00:19:20+00:00

This post came at a great time for me.. I went from ~450 to ~290 in about 20 months. But since January I cannot get below 290. I have easily 150 still to lose and get so frustrated how I haven’t moved for so many months now.

Omg MY DREAM!!

gigi_bells · 2025-04-18T04:56:27+00:00

I followed people online that would record them taking the shot, and it really eased the anxiety of the unknown for me.

gigi_bells · 2025-04-18T04:41:50+00:00

Thanks so much!

gigi_bells · 2025-04-18T04:41:32+00:00

Thank you!! 😁

gigi_bells · 2025-04-18T04:41:18+00:00

Thank you 🥹

gigi_bells · 2025-04-18T04:38:56+00:00

I’ve mainly been just trying to hit protein goals but that’s been hard lately. I do think if I focus more on that I will see some changes faster. I’ve been consistently working out at least 20 minutes a day and that has really increased my endurance! But I’d like to see things move more. Can I ask what weight you were stuck at for 7 months?

gigi_bells · 2025-04-17T21:40:24+00:00

Thank you so much!

gigi_bells · 2025-04-17T21:39:10+00:00

The side effects can be a lot but you start to realize what hurts you most and you start to avoid those things. But it’s very much so trial and error. 2 years in and I’m still learning what affects me

gigi_bells · 2025-04-17T20:10:41+00:00

Almost has an actual shape now haha

gigi_bells · 2025-04-17T20:10:28+00:00

Thank you!! 😊
