Stall for Months

[Leslie40]

Had rapid weight loss initially, dropping close to half my starting weight. Been on mounjaro roughly three years now. Despite staying on a strong dose, gained back a meaningful chunk over the past year. Just can't seem to budge regardless of what gets tried. Sixty-two years old, average height, and currently sitting well above where things stalled. Any tips for kickstarting things again? A1C has stayed excellent this whole time though, down dramatically from where it started.

Hang in there, it takes time. Took me close to three years total to drop 130 pounds, though my A1c went from 11 down to under 6 within just six months. Didn't see the scale really move until I hit 7.5, then it suddenly felt like magic. Got stuck at 250 for half a year, had to overhaul a bunch of habits, and now I'm at 220 and still moving, currently running 10mg.

Sitting at 2.5mg for two and a half years now. Down 80 pounds total, and my A1C dropped from 11.7 to 5.7 in that time. Zero metformin, zero insulin in the mix, just the Mounjaro carrying all of it. If your current dose is getting results, there's no rule saying you have to climb higher.
