Mounjaro down 50 lbs - update from this morning

50 lbs down on Mounjaro so far and keeping at it. Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it.

What helped you push through the plateau? Maintenance for three months now and holding.

Rings fitting again is such a weirdly emotional win, I had the same thing around 20 lbs down on my end. The stall weeks got way easier for me once I stopped weighing daily and just checked weekly. Nearly 50 down here too and it still surprises me some mornings.

My doctor had me hold until side effects settled. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared.

Rings fitting again got me too around the 25 lb mark, felt silly how much that one hit. The stall before that had me convinced it stopped working, but zooming out over a month instead of days is what kept me sane. Congrats on 50, that's wild.

That scale-not-moving-but-rings-fitting thing never stops being strange, even past 70 lbs down I still see it happen. Bodies definitely recomp in ways the scale refuses to credit. Congrats on 50, the non-scale wins end up being the ones you remember anyway.

We're basically twins at 48 down, and same here with the whooshes and stalls trading places. My wedding band spins freely now which still catches me off guard. Way to hang in through the flat weeks.

Congrats on 50, that's a huge milestone. I had a similar stretch where the scale froze for three weeks but my pants kept getting looser, so the ring thing tracks with what I saw too. Those non-scale moments ended up keeping me going more than the numbers did.

Rings fitting again was my first real sign things were working too, right around the 18 lb mark. The scale can sulk all it wants, swollen fingers shrinking is proof the body's changing. Grats on 50.

The ring thing is real -- mine stopped spinning around 40 down and I still notice it every morning. I'm a bit ahead of you at 56 lost on 7.5, and those flat weeks never lasted for me, so keep trusting the tape measure over the scale.

First 20 and the rings fitting again -- that combo beats whatever the scale says. I'm only about 13 down so far but my watch band already needed a notch tighter, so those little things seem to show up before the numbers do. Congrats on 50, hoping my flat stretches pass like everyone here says they do.

Congrats on both milestones, the 50 and the 20. I'm down 39 on my own tirzepatide journey and my wedding ring went from stuck to loose around the 30 mark, so I get why you're grinning about yours. Those stall weeks never stuck around long for me either, just keep at it.

46 down here and I swear my feet shrank before anything else did -- shoes a half size smaller. Sounds like you're right at that point where the whoosh weeks come out of nowhere, enjoy it.
