Week 8 was right when my first big whoosh hit on Wegovy too. Down 46 lbs since starting and the stalls still come, they just don't scare me anymore. Congrats on the new low.
Your journey
week 8 update posted today - the NSVs are adding up
Week 8 was where my first real drop happened on Trulicity too, and now at 82 down I can confirm the stalls never fully stop, they just get easier to ride out. Nice work sticking with it through the quiet stretch.
Week 8 was also when my scale finally budged after two flat weeks on reta, and I'm sitting around 29 down now, so this tracks. The quiet stretches still mess with my head a little but less each time.
Week 8 was my breakthrough too, right around 20 down when the scale finally cooperated after a slow stretch. Congrats on the new low, and congrats to the maintenance poster above, that's the goal I'm eyeing.
Similar timeline for me, right around week 8 and 20-some pounds down the whoosh finally showed up. The stalls used to panic me but now I just assume the drop is coming, makes the quiet weeks way easier to sit through.Similar spot here, right around week 8 and 21 down when the scale finally started moving again after a quiet stretch. Those flat weeks got way easier once I learned they usually end with a whoosh rather than a stall.
Same pattern held for me at week 8, though I had a longer quiet stretch before mine broke. Now when the scale sits still I just figure a whoosh is loading, which makes the stalls way less stressful. Congrats on the new low.
Week 8 broke my stall too, right around the same 20 lb mark. Funny how many of us hit that stretch at the same point. Glad yours ended, congrats on the new low.
Only 2 lbs down at week 9 on my end, so threads like this keep me sane. Nice to see the week 8 pattern holding for so many people, gives me something to wait for.
Stalls used to wreck my head too until I noticed mine always broke around week 8, so now I just wait them out instead of panicking. Down 48 lbs on Mounjaro and every one of those quiet stretches ended eventually. Keep going, the scale catches up.
Oral form here and my scale sat dead for almost a month around the 20 lb mark too, then dropped again out of nowhere. Down 23 total now, so the quiet weeks really are just the body catching up. That week 8 trend people are mentioning matches what I saw.
My stall around the same stretch lasted three weeks and I nearly quit checking the scale, then it broke overnight. Down 33 now and the quiet stretches never lasted longer than a month for me. Hang in there, the drop feels sudden when it finally comes.
Week 8 broke my stall too on Zepbound, was stuck around 15 lbs down for what felt like forever and then the scale started moving again right around the same mark. Interesting how many people here hit it at the same point. Congrats on the new low.
Stuck around 10 lbs myself on 7.5 and was starting to wonder if that was it for me, so this thread is good timing. Nice work hitting the new low, and here's hoping week 8 works the same magic for me.
