Plateau at 0.5mg — bump or wait?

Two weeks of flat scale on the same dose happened to me too, and the tape measure was the only thing that showed anything moving. How long are you planning to sit at 0.5 before deciding?

#25

Did you change anything else those two weeks, like your meals or how much you're moving? My own stall at that dose broke after I tightened up my lunches, so I never figured out if it was the food or just time.

#26

Two weeks isn't much of a stall honestly, mine went flat for nearly a month before anything budged. Are your clothes fitting any different in that time?

#27

Two weeks is nothing, honestly. I stalled harder than that early on and only had a couple pounds to show for it at the time, so the tape was the only thing that moved.

#28

I stayed at 0.5 for close to two months before moving up, mostly because I wanted to see if the stall was real or just my body adjusting. For me it turned out to be adjusting, and things started shifting again on their own.

#29

Two weeks is short in the grand scheme. I sat at a stall for nearly a month around that dose before things moved again, and I was glad I hadn't rushed it.

#31

Two weeks is barely a stall in my book, mine sat flat for nearly three before anything moved. What does your appetite look like right now, still noticeably dulled or creeping back?

#35

Did you change anything else those two weeks, like portions or how often you're eating? My stall at 0.5 broke right when I tightened up my meals, so I never figured out if it was the dose or the food.

#36

curious whether anything else shifted those two weeks, like appetite or clothes fitting differently. My scale sat flat for a bit while my waistband loosened, so the number wasn't telling the whole story

#37

Two weeks of flat scale is pretty normal in my experience, I sat at the same dose for over a month once before anything moved. I'd hold off on changing anything yet.

#38

Two weeks is nothing at 0.5, mine sat flat for almost three before it moved. What does your appetite look like right now though, still quiet or creeping back?
