Scale's not budging! Help!

[Aunt_Becca]

I saw a post from another woman who is 5'3" like us. She started similar to my weight 207lbs, and she's doing it! I feel motivated!

I'm only on 0.2 and today is my fourth shot and I feel zilch. Scale is barely moving.

Try getting a digital scale, it'll be easier. Marking it down this way feels tedious.

Month two plateau is the most common pattern. The first month is fast water loss; the slower weeks are where the real change starts.

0.2mg is one of the quieter starting doses - most people don't feel real suppression until closer to 1mg. The first titration up is usually when things shift.

Appetite and reward pathways overlap - the substance reliance reduction alongside weight loss comes up more than expected.

The digital scale gap matters most on slow months - 2 pounds is the kind of number where precision counts.

Something's gotta shift to keep the losses going. I stalled at 50 pounds down for a solid month, then pushed my workouts harder and started deliberately eating more fiber, and the scale moved again after that.

Been bouncing between losing and regaining the same couple kilos since last fall, but my pants fit looser regardless, so a scale stall might not be the whole picture.

Congrats to you, but honestly after three whole months I haven't dropped a single pound. Genuinely disheartening.

Make sure water intake stays where it should be. My provider mentioned most stalls trace back to not getting enough fiber and fluids.

Trust the process, the weight won't come off every single week, some weeks you'll plateau, some you might even tick up a bit. Stay consistent and keep pushing, it evens out eventually. Try not to fixate too hard on that scale number!

Know that feeling well. Weighed in at just over 252 at the start of July, and basically the same number a month later. That said, since I also track monthly video and measurements, I could clearly see my waist, hips, and stomach had shrunk noticeably despite the number on the scale hardly shifting this cycle.
The number on the scale really isn't the whole picture.
