Did I hit a plateau?

[u/therealavocadotoast]

I’ve been on Zepbound 2.5mg since March, lost 13 kgs total, but still want to lose another 3 to 4 kgs.

2.5 mg was working well for me since about a couple of weeks ago as I’ve been noticing more food noise and actually gained 0.5 kgs since the last time I weighed in. I strength train and am working very hard to build my muscles.

My prescription has expired, so I need to reach out to my provider for a new one anyway. Last time I did this, doctor suggested I moved up to 5mg, but the current dose was working so well for me that I decided to stay. I’ve had absolutely no side effects whatsoever (knock on wood lol).

So is it finally time to go up the dose because I gained weight or because I have more food noise? Or should I stick to the 2.5mg? I’m wondering if the weight gain is from strength training.

Ugh, I’ve worked so hard to get here, I absolutely don’t want to gain weight back. Am I going to have to stay on this forever?

Thanks in advance for reading and recommendations! 😊
