I'm 6 months into Wegovy and have plateaued. I lost 40

[applegrove]

pounds and now nothing. I've not gone to the highest dose as I didn't want more side effects but am thinking that was a mistake. I've stopped taking diabetes medication and statins as my labs were great and my doctor told me I had reversed some of my health issues. But I have not lost weight in 2 weeks.

Anybody on the 2.4 dose of Wegovy? How was it different than 1.7?

Please and thank you.

1. I'm on Mounjaro

Since April. I’ve had weeks of plateau and even gained a pound or two but eventually it starts coming off again. Be patient, don’t give up or beat yourself up over it. This medication makes me constipated and my weight can fluctuate with the outgo (or lack thereof). Drink lots of water. Best of luck and don’t get discouraged. I’m down 59 lb since April 1.

3. The question is have you lost any inches over pounds?

You could be losing visceral fat which is a good thing.



Years ago, I dropped 55 lbs. I was stuck at the same weight for about 3 months and frustrated.


A co-worker asked, "Niagara, are you still losing weight?"


I said, "Nooooo, I've been stuck!"


She looked at me funny after i told her no and that I was stuck.


When I unbuttoned my pants later that night, they literally fell off of me! I was too busy being frustrated by reading the scales that I hadn't noticed how loose all my pants had become.

4. I'm already in a smaller pair of jeans. Good for you.

Did you keep the weight off cause I'm getting that that is the hard part.

5. Just don't give up and get frustrated by reading the scales, applegrove

As those scales don't reveal all the weight lose (inches and visceral fat).


The first time I dropped all this weight was back in 2003 to 2006.


I didn't keep the weight off over the years. And so I had to restart my weight lose journey again back in 2021.


Keep up the fantastic work!

8. I've been told by my doctor that once I reach my goal weight, I'll probably need to stay on Wegovy for the rest

of my life on a maintenance dosage level. I'm still on the second to lowest dosage level, but was just approved for the next dosage level. I've been on it for 3 months. I plataued a few weeks ago and was stagnant for 3 weeks, didn't lose, didn't gain, and then the next week I lost over 2 pounds which really surprised me. Anyway, I'm not having a tough time with the side effects and am happy with my progress to date. This time of year is hard with all the xmas parties and increased alcohol consumption.
