Clinical studies showing that people regain weight quickly after stopping a GLP-1 can feel daunting. But for some of us, long-term maintenance is possible when we use our time on the medication to build meaningful, lasting changes to our habits, routines, and mindset.

For the past 6 months or so, my weight has remained steady at 156 pounds (BMI 23), just 5 pounds above my lowest weight. My appetite and weight both now feel stable, predictable, and manageable, and life is good.

In a couple of months, it’ll be a full year since I came off Mounjaro. At that point I’ll repeat my DEXA scans and blood tests to make sure that my muscle mass, metabolic health, and other key markers are still on track.
