Plateau at current dose, bump or hold?
I hit a similar wall around 17 lbs down and freaked out a bit, but two weeks later it started dropping again with zero changes. Side effects are the tiebreaker for me too--if you're tolerating things …

Maintenance dose of tirzepatide - what are you holding at?
I plan my routine around shot day now and it helps. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Grateful for this thread.

60 lbs lighter and my posture changed
Still 18 lbs in but airplane seats are already a different story for me, so I can only imagine booth-level freedom. Huge congrats on goal, that shock is earned.

Anyone else on Rybelsus feeling it wear off today?
18 lbs in on Rybelsus and my only soft afternoons have been the days I grabbed breakfast too early after the pill, so yeah, the timing thing seems real from my end too. One off day at 29 down is nothi…

Sleep changes since starting - anyone?
Around 18 lbs in myself and I've noticed the same pattern - good nights and bad nights alternating. What's helped me is keeping the room dark and not grabbing my phone when I wake up, since lying ther…
