My old jeans fit two weeks befre the scale budged. Bodies are ridiculous.
Sleep is what breaks my flat stretches every time. I run 5.5-hour nights during busy season and the scale sits dead for weeks, then I get 7+…
609 sounds less like a trial and more like a small city. The 62 one probably just has three sites.
Honestly the 28.7% won’t mean much if your own week 24 is flat and your jeans fit the same.
Baseline BMI is the sneaky one for me—if the Phase 3 pool averaged a higher starting weight, 4.5 points can be partly population math, not a…
My scale sat for 34 days around week 20, but my jeans went from snug 36 to loose 34 and my watch band needed a new hole. Same time, same fas…
Duration mismatch is my bet. 48 weeks is right around where the curve tends to flatten hard — steady losses through month 6, then weeks 28-4…

Yeah, for me the missing…
Tracking trial registries at week 10 is the most on-brand thing I've seen here, and I mean that fondly.
Mine actually got worse before it got better, which I wasn't expecting. Weeks 28-33 I was sleeping maybe 5.5 hours a night through a rough s…
My HRV is a drama queen. One glass of wine and it drops 8 ms overnight, then recovers by Tuesday.
Comparing week 52 to that trial might be the wrong yardstick, since they were measuring weight endpoints and yours are measuring stuff the t…
Week 47 for me and my scale sat at 174 for 11 straight weeks, but my closet was the honest one. I finally pulled the jeans I'd kept in a bin…
Salty takeout night = HRV nosedive, scale up 2 lb, then whoosh. Every time.
I measure cooked oatmeal by the same bowl now—portion creep was my real stall, not the med.
Trial weight numbers are like my knee: fine on paper, screaming on stairs.
Following. Nine weeks of tracking logs here and the same weirdness keeps showing up.
This thread is making me want to get fasting insulin retested. My last one was 17 and doc only cared about A1c.
Your trigs dropping 180 to 132 while weight stalls is the part I'd focus on. Mine did the same around week 10. Scale was flat but waist move…
Labs before scale is common when you’re adding muscle. Are you measuirng body fat or just weight?
I’ve seen this in my own logs. Fasting insulin is more volatile day to day than weight, yet trends earlier.
Welcome. My LDL did the asme in the first 20 lbs: 112 to 141. Trigs fell 170 to 88. It settled around week 28, no med changes.
The dead appetite after hard bike intervals is a thing people hit with GLP-1s too. Common surprise: liquid egg whites plus whey in iced coff…
The fasting glucose drop is interesting. Mine followed sleep more than weight. How are your sleep and stress looking?
Skeptical until I see third-party COAs with batch numbers matching the vials. Lots of pretty labels and zero receipts lately.
Agreed. Also 2539 people is huge, but if raw data has no outcome numbers, we’re guessing about who plateaued where.
Not sure phase alone explains the 30. A small completed study can still be late phase.
Week 3 is close to meaningless for recomp. The part people forget: the scale can sit flat for 5 weeks while the waist drops 2 inches and lif…
I logged 11 workouts before realizing my watch double-counted zone 2 as lifting volume—app said peak week, legs said week 1.
My $25 smart scale said I gained 1.2 lb of muscle in 10 days, which was obvious nonsense because I was in a deficit. The gadget that actuall…
Welcome. Similar at week 12: LDL 112→148, trigs 135→88. My CRP didn’t budge though. The CRP drop is the part that makes me jealous.
I weigh weekly, same day, after bathroom, before food. Weekly averages saved my sanity.
