Ozempic plateau during perimenopause?

That's awesome! How are you feeling? How many calories a day and are you taking supplements? Definitely talk to your doc about a healthy stopping point tho.
 
25, been drinking daily since 21. diet's clean, protein and fiber happening. but can't stop eating all day, especially when drinking. hearing about food noise stopping here — does anyone kill the drink cravings too? trying to cut the beer part mainly.
 
Been on it three years, dropped 150 pounds. Never really 'felt' it kick in, honestly. Food noise was quiet for like a month at 1.7mg then came roaring back. Tried Topamax with my nutritionist and that did the trick. I was on it about a year.
 
I switched over when I hit that 4-month wall at max dose - my doctor wanted me to be patient but honestly after month 2 I was ready to try something else. Lost the first 40 and then another 60 once we made the change. It's wild how the body just needed that adjustment to kick back in. Stick with your doc but definitely bring it up if you feel like you're truly stuck.
 
The perimenopause combination makes the GLP-1 effect harder to see on the scale because of hormonal influence on water retention and fat distribution. The medication is still doing its metabolic work even when the number isn't moving. What does your non-scale picture look like - energy, inflammation, how clothes fit?
 
the perimenopause possibility at 37 is more common than the standard timeline suggests - the average onset is the mid-40s but early perimenopause in the late 30s is well-documented and often missed because the symptoms get attributed to other things. getting a hormone panel from a provider who actually reads the full female hormone picture rather than just FSH in isolation is the right starting point, especially when the symptoms are clustered the way you're describing
 
Hit a wall on Wegovy.

Zepbound brought the exact same standstill!

Though technically still creeping down, just at a snail's pace now.
 
Started dealing with real joint pain around the three-month mark. Was only borderline overweight going in, BMI 24.9, and I'm down roughly 15 pounds so far. Chalked it up to perimenopause, which actually tracks better, and I'm about to start HRT. Who knows though, guess I'll find out if that actually helps. Just had to be extra careful lately, doubled my usual walking mileage, dropped my strength training down to 5lb weights and building sets back up slowly. Overall things have felt better the past couple weeks. Still can't say for sure if this is the semaglutide or the perimenopause talking. Haven't sat at this weight in almost a decade.
