Restarting weight loss
So my weight plateaued while I was still at 10 mg a year ago. I hadn't gotten down to 180 but popped out to 185. Titrated up through 12.5 to 15mg but had to switch to compounded at that point due to.loss.of.i sirance. Even with maxing out, I no.longer lost, and in fact the food noise returned and I gained another few and was around 187-190. I took my last dose on August 1 and had planned on switching back to Zepbound with my insurance.
Life.got in the way and it has now been 6 weeks off any meds. Im also gaining and last I.check was at 195. I'm afraid to get on the scale.
I spoke with my DR and she wants me to.do.one month of compound because we're starting back at a lower dose 10mg but doing half dose for 2 weeks and full dose for 2 weeks. Then we'll switch back to a Zepbound 10 mg.
I still run 3 days and strength training 2 and I'm revamping my diet to get more protein. But I'm definitely feeling pretty heavy and tired.
My big question is if anyone has gone off their meds and then after a break gone back.on and seen a weight loss response again? I worked so hard for 2 years to.lose the weight only to.have this third year undo half of it.
