2.5 year plateau

Three years running this medication now, dropped fifty pounds total but have essentially plateaued at the same number across an extended stretch, wobbling maybe five pounds either direction. Currently at the stronger end of dosing. Skip even a single week and hunger noise comes screaming back tenfold, so staying consistent just to keep that quiet. Genuinely would love to shed another ten pounds but honestly stuck on how to make that happen. Not really someone who tracks macros or obsesses over details, open to whatever ideas people might have.

Dropped twenty pounds over the first couple months, then hit a wall until bumping the dose up further.

Two and a half months in at a moderate dose, lost ten kilos so far. Still need to drop another ten. Wondering whether staying on this medication for a couple years would eventually cause the body to adapt and all that hunger noise to return.

Been on this a good long while myself, ended up at the higher end of dosing before switching. Hit a hard plateau, kept pushing the amount up, and still ended up gaining some weight back. Could tell the food noise had crept back in, even though activity levels stayed exactly the same, still doing pilates regularly. Woke up starving most mornings but kept trying to stick to the smaller portions that used to work fine. Eventually the doctor said my body had just adapted and it was time to switch. Started on the new medication last week and already feel like myself again. Food noise is gone.

Right there with you. Two and a half years in, holding at 15mg for maintenance but bouncing around 5 to 8 pounds either way. Noticed I've been eating a bit more these past couple months and won't lie, it's got me a little nervous since I loved that suppression, especially early on. But I think this whole set-point idea holds up completely. Wouldn't dream of dropping the dose though, just really want those extra 5-8 gone.

Was on 12.5mg for several months, dropped to 10mg for around two months due to appetite basically vanishing. Once my body settled in, and my A1c ticked up 0.4 points, I panicked and went right back to 12.5mg. Weight's been frozen since that switch back down to 10 and even now, about eight months with no movement either direction, despite eating more and visibly shrinking regardless.

Took my 12.5mg shot 12 hours early this week and wow, the fatigue absolutely wrecked me. Did shed 5 pounds of water weight I'd been holding onto for days though, so no complaints there.
