Stopped GLP-1, weight's back... but I'm good!

Congrats on the win. That said, that kind of drop is pretty extreme and sometimes risky. Usually pulls muscle along with fat and tanks your metabolism hard. The slowdown at the end might be your body fighting back from going too hard too fast.

The mindset shift from 'I'll just use this temporarily' to 'this is how I manage a chronic condition' was the game-changer for me. Once I stopped treating it like a crutch and started treating it like blood pressure medication, the whole thing made more sense. Good for you for finding your balance.

Great work getting back to your ideal weight range!

Lowest weight since I was a kid and I'm thrilled. Took a break from the scale during vacation and my period, came back to this perfect surprise.

Stopping because of severe GI side effects is reasonable - constipation and abdominal pain at that level isn't sustainable. Holding the weight through diet restriction afterward is a legitimate outcome even if it wasn't the original plan.

Vendor reputation has a shelf life - the same supplier that had reliable quality and responsive support under one team can shift significantly when turnover or ownership changes, which is why recent community feedback matters more than historical experience.

The bounce-back stabilizing near target is the intentional outcome of stopping before goal - that plan executed cleanly.

Stopping before goal and letting the body settle is the approach that holds up long-term - the planned exit beats waiting for a plateau at target. 64kg and comfortable is the actual outcome.

2021 start, goal in 2022, maintaining for years on 2.5mg sema with 1mg cagri is a real long-term success story. The maintenance dose combination is interesting - sema and cagri together at low amounts seems to be a sustainable floor for a lot of people. The appetite variability managed rather than alarming is the whole mindset shift.

Obese most of a life, got to normal weight and back up several times, and now watching someone navigate that transition in real time - your experience gives context that a first-time loser genuinely can't have. The 'but I'm good' framing in the OP is actually the healthy version of how this plays out.

Unless every lifestyle shift that typically comes with weight loss is already locked in, I'd really hesitate before dropping the medication. Have you reworked your social life to cut down on drinking? Are you hitting somewhere near 10,000 steps or comparable movement daily? Doing resistance training to hang onto muscle and keep your metabolism humming? Cleared trigger snacks out of your kitchen so the weight doesn't creep back? Adjusted your meals so nutrition needs are met while calories still line up with your Resting Metabolic Rate plus activity level? Dealt with any mental health struggles that used to drive emotional eating, now managed thanks to the GLP-1? Actually had your RMR properly tested so your calorie math is accurate (worth asking your doctor)?

Most people regain once they stop the medication. For me it came down to depression. Food became my comfort mechanism. I'd abandon tracking for a week straight, eating to cope and drinking to dull anxiety. Ended up putting back on mor

Glad things worked out okay after that, doesn't always go so smoothly. This case involved quieter, slower damage from years of excess weight, a chronic gut condition, and ongoing inflammation, almost certainly some gut permeability issues too. Not much left to do besides slowing things down by taking better care overall and staying on some medication. This drug class makes holding a lower weight for years a genuinely realistic goal now, which helps a lot, something that was never really possible before.
