been told it takes longer to work again after being off for a while, especially at higher doses. lost about 25lbs since late november but dropped a ton of inches. stopped caring about the scale and focus on how i feel because i feel way better even if it's not dropping fast.

70-100 grams per day while losing 80 pounds and maintaining muscle mass is a solid data point against the idea that you need 1.5-2x grams per pound of lean mass. The protein recommendations online have gotten extreme - what you are describing is proof that moderate, consistent protein works.

I started Mounjaro on June 27, 2025 at 340 pounds. I'm down to 238 now. Aiming for 190 to 200.

100 lbs in 2 years at 67 with no complications - that is a strong track record.

746 days is a real number - every one of those walks and calorie logs is in that 100 lbs. Body image catching up to the scale takes longer than the weight does. The self-image piece is the slow part.

The gallbladder risk at sustained high weekly loss is real - cholesterol supersaturation in bile during rapid fat mobilization increases stone formation risk. Most clinicians flag consistent loss above 2 lbs/week as the threshold worth monitoring.

The plan to stay on the meds is the right read of the data - the weight cycling history you're describing is exactly what the regain studies track, and compounding as the fallback keeps the option available regardless of what insurance does next.
