Plateau at 0.5mg — bump or wait?

I've been holding at 0.5mg for five weeks and the scale has stalled the last two. Did you bump up or wait it out? Curious what worked for others.

I stalled around week six at the same dose and just waited it out -- the drop picked back up on its own about two weeks later. Only moved up after my appetite started creeping back, and that's when I knew it was time.

Two weeks is nothing, honestly -- my longest stall on my way down 20 lbs lasted almost a month and broke without me changing a thing. I only consider moving up when the food noise comes back, not based on the scale alone.

I sat at the same stall point on 0.5 for a bit while working toward the 22 I've lost so far, and my mistake early on was panicking and changing things too fast. This time I waited it out and the whoosh came around week three of nothing. Two more weeks on the scale won't hurt you.

My month-long stall on the way to losing 31 lbs happened right at this exact point, and it broke on its own without me touching anything. I only bumped when the appetite noise started creeping back in, same as others here are saying. Give the scale a few more weeks before deciding.

My stall at 0.5 lasted almost five weeks and I nearly bumped early, but I held and the drop resumed right around week six. For me the sign to titrate was hunger creeping back, not the scale going quiet. 55 lbs down now and patience at that dose was a big part of it.

Same story here at 0.5 -- my five-week stall broke on its own right when I'd convinced myself to move up. I ended up titrating later only when the food thoughts got loud again, never because of the scale. Almost 40 lbs down now, so waiting paid off for me.

I stalled about three weeks at 0.5 and almost bailed on it, but the whoosh came around week four once I stopped weighing daily. Only titrated later when I could actually finish restaurant portions again. 36 lbs down so far, and the scale quiet stretches never lasted as long as they felt.

I'm only about 6 lbs in so take it for what it's worth, but my two-week stall at 0.5 didn't scare me after reading how common this is. I figured I'd let hunger be my guide like others here said, and sure enough the scale moved again before I even had to think about bumping.

Two weeks isn't much of a stall in my book -- mine broke around week three without changing anything. I stayed put on my Trulicity dose and just watched hunger, and the whoosh came on its own. Only 9 lbs down here so I'm no expert, but patience beat bumping for me.

My two-week stall at 0.5 turned into a three-week one and then dropped 4 lbs in a single week, so those quiet stretches can lie to you. I stayed put since the appetite suppression was still doing its job, and only moved up when portions started creeping back. Down 30 lbs now and glad I didn't chase the scale.

I sat at 0.5 for six weeks with zero movement, then dropped three pounds in one week without changing anything. Wish I'd known how normal this is back then, would have saved myself a lot of fridge-door-pacing. Stay the course if your hunger's still quiet, there's plenty of runway before you'd even need to think about going up.

I stalled almost a month at 0.5 on my way to 38 lbs down, and it broke on its own once I stopped weighing daily and driving myself nuts. For me the sign to move up was appetite getting loud again, not the scale going quiet. Two weeks is barely a blip in my experience.

I stalled for a solid month on Saxenda around the 3.0 level and it broke without touching anything. My cue to adjust was appetite creeping back, never the scale alone. Two weeks of whooshing still finds most people who just wait it out.

I sat at 0.5 for six weeks with zero movement and finally bumped, and appetite was quiet the whole time so I figured the med still had room to work. Turned out the stall broke about a week after moving up. If your hunger is still suppressed, I'd give it another couple weeks first.

Stalls like that hit me twice on Zepbound and both times it was water doing weird things while the fat loss kept going underneath. My rule of thumb ended up being hunger-based too -- as long as appetite stayed quiet, I held my dose and just waited it out. Both of mine broke around week three without changing anything.

Down 35 myself and my longest stall was almost a month at the same dose. Hunger stayed flat so I just held, and it broke on its own like others said. Sounds like two weeks isn't much signal yet.

Down 41 myself and my longest stall hit around a similar point -- held my 1.5 the whole time and it broke on its own about three weeks in. Two weeks is barely enough time for the whoosh to show up, so I'd let the scale sit a bit longer before touching anything.

Down 27 here and my longest stall was about three weeks at the same dose -- broke without me changing anything. Two weeks felt scary at the time but it turned out to be nothing. I'd give it another week or so and keep an eye on hunger like the others said.

My big stall was around the six-week mark and lasted almost a month at the same dose -- I tracked measurements that month and was still shrinking while the scale sat still. Worth doing if you have a tape handy, it kept me sane till things moved again.
