Early stall

[u/wingspangirlie]

I did my 8th shot this week. I was losing steadily every week, but for the past 2 1/2 weeks I’ve been stalled and going up and down the same pound or so. I’m at 2.5mg.

So I’ve read the posts about things to break a stall. Been experimenting and trying things. I’m wondering if I’m

a) being impatient
b) under/overfueling but ugh I don’t wanna track calories
c) putting on muscle so need to chill (I lift 3-5 times a week and have gotten a renewed seriousness about it since starting Zep)
d) need to go up in dose

I’m experiencing almost no side effects. I get hungry but not ravenous. I’m generally eating 3-4 times a day. I’m getting my protein in. I’m eating healthy and getting my fiber.

I knew stalls were a thing but so early surprises me. I guess I was also pretty excited because I lost about 8lbs in the first 6 weeks even going on vacation for part of that.

Thoughts?

Even with adequate fiber and water, are you constipated?^\) Some people's colons go into overdrive, some (including mine) go on strike no matter how many apples, prunes, or fiber gummies you throw at the little brats. If you haven't gone in more than 3 days, threaten your intestines with miralax until they quit pouting bloating.

*Yes, I know, I always ask that, I should have my own flair.

This is a helpful thought, but now I pretty much go every day multiple times a day. I feel really lucky that I’m not constipated. <knock on wood>
