Long-term plateau, and still have significant amount of weight to lose.
Hi all, feeling pretty dejected and wanted to see if anyone has faced something similar.
I have been on Mounjaro since the end of November 2024, weighing 99 kilos. I lost weight within the first 6 months which was so great! However, I have been stuck in a plateau for about 9 months straight now. I currently weigh 81 kilos and have been stalled at this weight for an incredibly long time. My doctor upped my prescription to 12.5 about 2 months ago, and even that seems to not be helping.
I am pleased that I HAVE lost weight, but even my doctor is finding it odd that my body weight is stuck. I am careful with my food intake, I make sure I have protein everyday, exercise at home using my treadmill and try to keep up with my water intake. I see all the inspiring posts with people being so successful after a year, and I am wondering what on earth I am doing wrong?
Has anyone else been stuck in a plateau for this long, even when increasing the dosage? After being on the medication for almost 18 months, it is feeling pretty depressing to not be at least in the 70s by now (and devo about the $$$)
