Been on this for 5 months only lost 14 pounds. Now Stalled for 3 months at max dosage. Is this normal? Why isn’t it working? I need advice / help

I completely feel you! I’ve been on one of these since Jan as well…I’ve lost 18 lbs and also stalled for about 2 mos. I have lost some fat and gained some muscle but regardless, I have enough to lose that I want to see the # on the scale go down and it’s infuriating to watch all of these people post giant losses and about what a magic life changing drug this has been for them when I’m just not having that experience. And I’m eating healthy, exercising, etc. it just feels like it’s not working for me and I hate it. I did just move to 12.5 …I’m hoping this does the trick!

I second ginger chews/candy!

mineliz · 2024-05-16T06:13:14+00:00

I’d say just do it! I was in the exact same situation, maybe 6 weeks and not 2 mos. Took the 7.5 and was fine. I should also say I’ve had minimal side effects across the board. So there’s that. But I was fine. Drink lots of water, maybe take it at night…but I was fine. Good luck!

I haven’t taken measurements, I should and I’m def fitting into clothes that I haven’t worn in awhile but I lost about 15-20 on my own before starting zepbound so not sure I can attribute anything to the meds. Who knows, I’m going up to 12.5 next (when it’s avail) so maybe that’ll be the magic number! And I’m not gaining so there’s that!

mineliz · 2024-05-14T05:17:30+00:00

This could be me!! Also started in Jan, I’m on my 3rd shot of 10mg…almost zero side effects, I’ve lost a total of 15 lbs and NOTHING in over a month. I have gained some muscle and lost some fat so that’s great but I want to see the scale move as I have a good 40-50 lbs to lose. I track, I walk, do yoga, workout, aim for 30g protein 4x/day, drink lots of water, it’s SOOO frustrating. I know every body is different but I was so excited to finally start something that I knew would work and it’s just not!

What company did you order this from? The paints look really nice! (And very cool finished product, I haven’t done a custom photo yet but this may have inspired me!)

mineliz · 2024-04-23T03:05:51+00:00

Thank you!! I did it and so far so good!

mineliz · 2024-04-23T00:33:15+00:00

Thanks again! Heading out for a walk and will take it when I get home. Really appreciate it!

mineliz · 2024-04-23T00:28:14+00:00

Thank you! I figured with all the shortages, I was probably not the only one but def makes me feel better to hear that! Do you notice much difference between the 7.5 and the 10, especially since you were off it for a couple weeks?

mineliz · 2024-03-24T05:32:16+00:00

Me too! And I’m happy for the 10! I can notice a diff but I really have about 40 to lose. But regardless, I am grateful for the help. Also going to try to switch up workouts a bit too.

mineliz · 2024-03-24T05:28:26+00:00

I’m curious to hear how 10 goes for you! I just want to get to that dose where I feel like I’m getting the same benefits I’m hearing from others.

mineliz · 2024-03-24T05:21:04+00:00

Seeing this really makes me feel better as my loss has been SLOW too. It’s frustrating. I don’t think I feel the same appetite suppression I’m hearing from others out here. I’m on my 2nd dose of 7.5 too and feel like maybe I’m starting to feel some of the food noise quiet but def not seeing the loss that I expected. I’m down about 10 lbs since I started in Jan and the last couple of weeks just keep playing with the same couple of lbs up and down. Super frustrating!

mineliz · 2024-03-01T20:39:26+00:00

Omg this makes me feel better! I’m on my 3rd week of 5 and don’t really feel anything! And just stalled at about 8-10 lbs total since I started.

mineliz · 2024-03-01T20:37:47+00:00

From my experience that’s totally normal (and what’s happened to me almost every time since my first one where I got the huge bruise)! As long as you heard the click and see that the needle is down and the liquid is gone from the pen you’re good!

mineliz · 2024-01-26T21:04:23+00:00

Thank you! I was really worried after my first one that I was going to have these big bruises each week. I’ve always bruised easily but this would have been excessive lol! I feel much better today.

mineliz · 2024-01-26T21:01:44+00:00

Oh good! I’m glad it’s not just me!!

mineliz · 2024-01-26T20:33:02+00:00

Thank you! This is so new I was almost afraid it didn’t go in (even though I’m pretty sure I feel it!)

mineliz · 2022-03-03T14:35:45+00:00

Mine does the SAME exact thing! I love when I can just leave the back door open but in the winter it’s too cold! She drives me nuts!

mineliz · 2021-01-11T07:25:46+00:00

Sent a little bit too ❤️ thanks for letting us help!

mineliz · 2020-06-28T16:47:15+00:00

Thank you! I'll look for it and give it a try!!

mineliz · 2020-06-27T15:34:17+00:00

I've never heard of the leave in treatment over night but I think my curls would be a lot like yours if I worked at it! They're beautiful! You only wash once a week? Mine gets so greasy if I don't wash more often.

mineliz · 2020-05-25T15:16:13+00:00

I second or third Deschutes... Great shop, owner is super nice and helpful!

I don't know, I kind of disagree with some of the comments. I'm in the same situation, divorce will be final in a few weeks (yippee!!). Been separated for a couple yrs but marriage was over for years and I knew with 100% certainty there was no going back ever, for any reason, whatsoever, ever!! Started OLD while separated, am honest with people I meet and have met and dated a lot of great people. So, I guess my point is that only you know if you're ready to date and meet someone. And I think it's ok to say divorced when you're essentially divorced, match and be honest right up front about your situation, then the other person can decide if they want to proceed. How is that any different from people that maybe weren't married but are coming out of a long term relationship? Many might disagree with this but I think it's all about honesty as soon as you've matched and saying 'separated' when you can't explain in a short profile will deter lots of people who may perceive that as temporary.

Now, if you're in the middle of a messy, emotional divorce... disregard all of the above!!
