This community saved my first month on medication. I came here when I was ready to quit at week 3 and people here convinced me to push through. It's now month 5 and I'm down 38 lbs. Thank you all.

Late to this but I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. So glad I'm not alone in this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Adding my two cents: Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. This community is the best.

Late to this but Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but Been there, it does get easier I promise. Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. So glad I'm not alone in this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone's different of course.
