Stalled at 217 lbs for 5 weeks — breaking the plateau

I've been stuck at 176 for 3 weeks now. I'm on 7.5mg tirz, eating around 1400 calories, exercising 4x/week. The scale just won't budge. I know plateaus are normal but this is frustrating. Anyone broken through a similar plateau? Did you change dose, diet, or just wait it out?

I've been on copmounded for over a year and haven't noticed any consistency issues. I think it depends on the pharmacy. Mine uses a PCAB-accredited lab.

Same here! I had the exact same experience at 5mg. The nausea peaked around week 18 and then gradually improved. Hang in there, it gets better.

This is so relatable. I'm on week 19 and feeling the same way. The food noise disappearing was the most surprising part for me too. I didn't even know I had it until it was gone.
