Stalled for 3 months

Dealing with side effects often myself, I found initially splitting the new weekly dose in 2 helpful, equally spread over the week. It decreases the height of the peaks that are basically responsible for them in my experience.

This is coming from a RS that takes 20mg weekly and has/was stalled forever:

Take a review of your caloric intake. Your body adapts and adapts well. I lost weight(60lbs.) down to my calorically stable instance. Weight loss was so easy, then it wasn't.

I didn't invent the saying: "you can't work out of a bad diet." I don't work out. I grab a shovel or a rake, or a chainsaw. Anyway, check and recheck your intake. Then test by reducing portions. Worked for me.

Definitely will take this in consideration, although have to say that this past week I lost 3.5 lbs, hopefully is the combination of increasing to 9mg, the survo at 2mg and exercising an diet; weekends are a constant challenge (dinner and wine, but we got to live also lol)

Keep in mind that the final pounds approaching goal weight are biologically more difficult to lose. It's not a matter of will power or working out, it's physiological. Our bodies are amazing things that we know a lot about, but not everything.

The biggest factors I would think are metabolic adaptation and leptin decline. Both of these are factors that would try to preserve fat mass. Probably from our hunter/gatherer days, when fat protected us in times of famine.

You might consider more protein and continuing with your resistance training. Those are usually good ways to "convince" your body your not starving to death. Some people say diet breaks or refeeds are helpful. If you're not familiar, that's when you eat at maintenance calories for a couple of weeks.

If looking for a peptide assist, you might consider adding an amylin agonist (i.e., cagri or elora) as those work on different pathways and in rat studies showed that adding elora adjunctively resulted in continued weight loss.

Good luck! I'm in the same exact spot. 8 more pounds to go 😡

Great info, thank you. 👍 I am also sort of in the same boat, about 5 or 6 lbs from goal.

That's where I'm at with 5lbs to go. I was doing like 1.5-2lbs/week. Now it's 0.2lbs, and this week I went up .2. Go figure. This is Reta.
