Ozempic journey - don't give up!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
I reached a plateau of about 6 months immediately when I started 15mg, after losing about a third of my body weight. Then I started losing again out of nowhere and I am down about 47% in total, still slowly losing. No changes on my end, the loss simply paused and later resumed on its own. Whether you'll lose more, I can't say. Your current loss matches the study average. Some people lose more than average, but most don't.
 
What worked for me came when my target weight arrived in late January, 280 down to 200. I stalled for the last 60 days and the final 6 lbs took forever. I stepped Tirz down from 15mg: one week at 12.5, then a 10mg stretch of 3 weeks, planning on maintenance (whatever that means) with my weight swinging 2 lbs either way. Then I talked myself into losing 20 more for an even 100 lb total. I climbed back to 12.5, then 15mg where I still am, and lost another 14 lbs in 5 weeks. I'm a single Costco chicken shy of the target, those dreaded last 6 lbs. Sometimes you have to step back to leap forward.
 
hey, mind if i ask about your experience at 15? recently switched from ozempic over to mounjaro after shedding a fifth of my body weight that first year, then basically nothing the second year, incredibly frustrating given i've still got another chunk i could easily lose. titrated up pretty fast over six weeks now and i'm at 7.5 mounjaro but honestly nothing's really shifted yet. curious what the jump from 7.5 toward 15 actually felt like for you, since i know plenty of people just hold steady at 7.5 or 10 instead. what pushed you to climb that high? i do work out and watch what i eat, but i've slipped back into evening snacking on high calorie stuff, which is pretty clearly emotional eating if i'm honest with myself. kind of miss those early glory days back on ozempic
 
good luck! when i started ozempic back in early june i was at 385 and now im down to 319. honestly i wouldnt suggest dropping that fast like i did though. most of it came from eating less since the hunger signals just werent there anymore.
