GLP-1 Success So Far!

38 lbs in 6 months at a stable dose is a solid trajectory. Forced titration schedules don't always serve people who are seeing consistent results - if 2mg is still working, staying there is a legitimate position.

38 pounds in about half a year at 2mg is right on target. The pace you are describing is sustainable, which is what matters for the long run. Well done.

Similar background here, UC with j-pouch surgery years back and now RA, managed with a biologic. Monjaro just hasn't done for weight what a lot of people here describe. Never really got that strong appetite suppression others mention, even at the top amount. Food noise dropped a little at first but stayed pretty present. Plateaued around 25lbs, though a1c is now in the normal range and inflammation overall feels improved. Digestion's slowed down too, which personally counts as a welcome side effect.

Still need to shed another 30lbs, staying committed to that. Planning to stay on this medication class indefinitely regardless.

Youre very early in this. People respond differently: some do well on low doses, others need more. Using GLP1 as a crutch and not a wheelchair is sound advice. Since youve sat at 2mg for a while, it may be time to step up if you want the results you describe.

lost 120 pounds total over the past three years, about half from keto and the rest from the glp-1. i deal with arthritis in my joints, a degenerating disc, spurs on the bones, a bad si joint, and rough knees. all of that used to hurt every single day, especially working a desk job in finance sitting constantly. i barely feel any of that pain day to day anymore. its almost completely gone now.
