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.

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.

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?

#11

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.

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

#19

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?
