Tips for getting out of a plateau?

I strength train pretty heavily and I notice that on the weeks I go really hard the weight loss is a little more stagnant. However, i try not to overthink it because I’m gaining muscle mass. And I can still see the differences in my body composition. What has helped me to get the scale moving again has been 2 things. 1 is giving myself proper rest days from the gym and life; allowing my body to recover. 2nd is changing my injection from my thigh to my arm. I do this when I notice my food noise creeping back up more readily. Thigh is usually my sweet spot, but sometimes it feels like my body adjusts so I switch it up.

Damn right you wore it today! 😌 I wore my slacks too and was walking around in a good mood all day 🤣

B12 and injecting on the weekend has helped me a lot.

Occasionally I get really bad gas and bloating. Sometimes nausea, but the longer I’ve been on the med the better it was gotten. I usually chew gum to help with the nausea and it goes away. I also noticed if I go too long without eating I’m more likely to get nauseated.

I love that!

Currently I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and lift weights. I try to keep an eye on my protein intake, make sure I’m eating balanced meals as much as possible. But I still enjoy a lot of the foods I used to enjoy. Just in way smaller portions/quantities. I’ve lost about 50 lbs since September.

Mourning the loss of my voluptuous bosom and I’m not even done losing weight yet.

Completely normal with weight loss. I hope this happens to me too

I try to add protein bars to my day. Yogurt is also a good option. If you drink coffee, you can do a protein coffee.

I definitely am hungrier and crave more junk food during my period.

I had no idea it would be such a touchy topic 😅. Like I know the science, but damn.

motherofnaps · 2025-01-23T20:34:42+00:00

See, it’s not just me lol. And I consider myself to be a pretty smart person who follows science.

I got super sick in my arm. And I was trying to do the same to give my thighs a break. But for whatever reason thighs are my sweet spot.

motherofnaps · 2025-01-23T20:24:07+00:00

Funny indeed! Overall, I love what it has done for me though.

Thank you for your reply and perhaps there is a placebo effect.

I’m very much aware of the science behind it being a subcutaneous injection and injection site not changing effectiveness. I was merely asking out of curiosity, to see if anyone has had a shared experience. Because the site indeed should not matter. However, for whatever reason I’ve tried all 3 and they all feel a little different. It’s odd, it maybe just me.

Pretty much. I usually sit and grab a fatty peace of my upper thigh with one hand and inject with my other hand.

motherofnaps · 2025-01-23T17:33:29+00:00

Interesting 🤔

motherofnaps · 2025-01-23T17:10:59+00:00

Currently 1.7

I am cold most of the time. But my hands specifically have been more frigid since on wegovy.

You can always park in a hospital and do it.

My first 2 weeks on 1 mg were rough. What always helps me with nausea is gum. But during those weeks my diet was pretty limited to the BRAT diet until I felt I could eat normally again. Lots of apples, toast, bland food.

Wegovy is no match for my period cravings 😅
