Stall broken. Thanks, 12.5!

I’ve been on 10mg since Nov. 26, and was losing pretty steadily for the first 2 months, but I was also experiencing the first real gastro side effects I’ve had since I started (some rather intense diarrhea on the 2nd day after each shot, and the dreaded sulfur burps).

However, my progress stopped in February, and I’ve been bouncing between 198 and 195 since then. My care team wanted to wait to move up to a) see if the stall would break with some diet tweaks, and b) if the side effects resolved.

Long story short, we decided to move up last week. The morning after my first shot of 12.5, I weighed 194.6. Stall broken! It’s sort of reaffirming to know it wasn’t anything I was, or wasn’t doing; it was the dosage. (Also a little sobering, as it made it hit home that this is probably a lifetime med for me, but I’m prepared for that.)

160, here I come. 😄
