Time to move up? Tips?

Question

So I started on Mounjaro on 2/10 and it was crazy how fast I dropped weight! I started off at 266.4lbs and since then (4 shots in) I am now 250.9lbs.It is amazing! I usually just keep going up and down the same 10lbs so this is exciting.

The issue is these past 2 weeks I have been stuck, going back up a couple lbs and then down. I feel the shot is still suppressing my hunger but it is easier to eat than it was at first. Does this mean my body is ready for an increase? I don’t want to push it too early, but I’m not sure how to know when it’s time.

I do want to share I do have a very sedentary job, and have 3 boys in sports so I am constantly driving around to practices and games. I do know I need to be more active and I am trying to be more active like walking/jogging about 3 times a week. Can you share what has helped drop more weight ? Any additional tips?

PS. I do understand that it is not meant to magically make me lose weight, but since I am an emotional/stress eater I hoped I could lose a little more (these past two weeks I’ve been stuck around the same weight and have not dropped below 250lbs. ) since it is curbing my eating. Also, I have developed an aversion to chocolate and sweets, which was my weakness so I am eating no sweets and chips and I am so proud of that! 😅

Thank you in advance!
