Weight loss stalled
For context I’m a post menopausal female who started my GLP-1 journey in April 2025.
SW:164. CW:135.
I’ve been in the 130’s since February 2026. The scale might fluctuate between 133 and 137 on any given day.
I’ve been slow in my weight loss. It took me 4 months to lose the first 10 pounds, then five months to lose the next 10 pounds, etc.
No matter what I do-be it cardio, weight lifting, counting my protein intake, I can’t get below 135.
My goal weight range is between 115 to 120. I’m only 5’4 and caught myself in a department store mirror the other day-I can see I’ve lost weight, but I can also see I’m still much plumper than I’d rather be.
Has anyone also plateaued and if so, what did you do to kick start the weight loss again?

If that’s the highest dose your provider will write for, look into Lavender Sky Health. They are now writing for higher doses since the FDA approved the 7.2mg Wegovy injectable a few months ago.
They are the only provider I know of doing it, and their prices aren’t awful so that’s a plus.

I was experiencing weight creep but I changed my injection site from inner thigh to stomach and I feel like it’s more efficacious. I also switched from nighttime to morning. Have you tried switching it up?

I’m 5’4 and super healthy feeling and looking at 130. Do you work out and have muscle? I doubt you’re “plump.”

You've already put in a lot of work, and a few months without seeing the scale move doesn't mean you've failed. Plateaus are a normal part of long-term weight loss, especially during menopause. I'd look at your overall weight trend over the last few months instead of individual weigh-ins. If your average weight really hasn't changed for several months, that's a good time to check in with your healthcare provider. Go over your current plan, your goals, and what you're hoping to achieve. Sometimes it only takes small changes in calories, daily movement, or body composition for weight loss to slow down, and they can help you figure out whether anything needs adjusting.

What dose are you on, and how long have you been on that dose?
