10mg tirzepatide — strongest appetite suppression I've felt

My doc kept me at 0.5mg for almost 3 months because I was losing well and tolerating it fine. I pushed back a bit because I'd read about faster titration schedules, but looking back I'm glad she slowed it down. Zero serious side effects the whole time. Anyone else had a similar experience with a conservative titration?

Just wanted to say, Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Just wanted to say, Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Same here — Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Honestly, Incredible progress. Rooting for you. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

The protein-first approach is the single best nutrition change I made. Before any carbs or fats, get your protein in. It works synergistically with the medication to preserve muscle while you're in a deficit.

Same here, So proud of you. Been there, it does get easier I promise. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

Cheering you on from here. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. This community is the best. Everyone's different of course.

Coming back to this thread — Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Rooting for you.

Honestly, Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. This community is the best.

How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Totally agree. Sending good vibes your way. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through.

Honestly, I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. This community is the best.

What helped you push through the plateau. A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

Coming back to this thread, Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher.

Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. This community is the best.

Coming back to this thread, Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.
