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.
Plateau at 0.5mg — bump or wait?
I waited it out and the stall broke on its own around week seven. My appetite was still quiet so i figured the dose was doing something even if the scale wasnt
Did you change anything else in those two weeks, like portions or how often you're eating? I only ask because my own stall turned out to be me getting sloppy with protein, not the dose running out.
I waited past the five week mark too and the scale sat flat for a bit before moving again. Two weeks isn't long enough for me to call it a real plateau.
honestly, did the food noise come back for you though? That's the thing I watch more than the scale now, since my last stall broke on its own while my appetite stayed quiet
Two weeks of flat scale isn't really a plateau yet. I'd be looking at whether the appetite quiet is still holding before thinking about a bump
How's the food noise at 0.5 right now? That's what I'd watch more than two flat weeks on the scale.
Two weeks isn't really a plateau in my book, mine ran closer to five before anything moved. Was your appetite still quiet those two weeks or did the food noise come back?
Two weeks isn't much of a stall in my book. What's your hunger been like, still quiet or starting to creep back?
Curious whether your hunger is still quiet at 0.5 or if that's creeping back, since that's the thing I'd watch more than the scale.
honestly two weeks of flat scale at that dose happened to me too, and what actually decided it was whether the appetite was still quiet, not the number. If the food noise is still down, I'd sit tight a bit longer.
Curious whether your appetite is still quiet at 0.5 or if portions are creeping back, since that's what told me more than the scale did.
Two weeks is barely a stall in my experience too. I held at 0.5 for about two months and the scale sat still for a chunk of it before it moved again.
Two weeks flat is nothing. I sat at 3.0 on Saxenda for nearly a month before anything moved, and the scale only budged once I quit stepping on it every morning
how's your appetite been the last two weeks? That's the thing i'd watch more than the scale, mine came back loud before the numbers ever moved
Were you still getting the appetite suppression at 0.5 or did that fade first? That's the thing I'd weigh more than two flat weeks.
Curious whether your hunger is still quiet at 0.5. That's the thing I'd be watching more than the scale, honestly.
My stall at 0.5 lasted about three weeks and then broke on its own, though i wasn't tracking anything closely enough to say what did it. Did you change anything on your end in those two weeks or is it same routine?
What did your hunger look like those two weeks, same as before or creeping back up? That's usually what tells me whether it's a real stall or just noise.
