At 35 down I've noticed the same thing -- my stalls broke after two or three weeks of nothing, and I only moved up when hunger stopped staying quiet through the whole week. If the suppression is still doing its job, waiting has cost me nothing so far.

When did you know it was time to increase?
Down 31 myself and the two stalls I panicked over both broke around week three without touching anything. The appetite quiet all week is the real tell for me -- when that changes, I'll think about it.
Third stall in for me at 53 down and they've all broken once I stopped messing with things. Only titrated the one time hunger started creeping back mid-week instead of right before shot day. Plateaus used to wreck me mentally, now I just assume three quiet weeks is part of the deal.
Down 42 on Saxenda and my one real stall lasted almost a month before the scale moved again -- no changes on my end. For me the deciding factor was never the plateau itself, it was whether the appetite quiet was still holding through the days between shots. If it is, I just ride it out.
Same pattern here at 1mg - down 53 and my last stall ran almost four weeks before the whoosh finally came. For me the signal was the same as others said: as long as I still wasn't thinking about food between shots, I saw no reason to move up. Hunger coming back mid-week is the only thing that'd change my mind.
Only 18 down myself so my stalls are shorter, but the pattern's the same - mine broke on their own around week three both times while I stayed put. Appetite suppression holding through the whole week is my green light to wait too. Hunger showing up early is what would make me reconsider.
Did you loop in your doctor before adjusting anything? What does your typical shot-day meal look like? What's your strategy for staying on top of water intake?
Great job. But what do you mean by tightened up my protein and water?
