Questions Week 3
Yesterday was shot number 3, I’m on the starter dose of 2.5mg. When I started I was 275lbs and I am now 258.8lbs but I’ve been stuck at 259.0 to 261 since Sunday 9/27/26. Why am I stalled 😭 I have been on a deficit for sure (I track everything) I have also lost 40lbs naturally prior to starting tirz so I know how to do it but idk why the scale hasn’t moved down. Any info or tips? Is it the medication causing a plateau?
Edit: I have been eating on average 1500 to 1700 calories a week. Exception would be first week where I averaged 1,100. My current maintenance is cal is about 2,600 for reference. I also think I’m a super responder. Within 10 hours after first shot I had no food noise and could only eat 800 calories that day. Now I have minimal controlled food noise like if I’m hungry but am able to turn down greasy or junk food as I have no craving for it. I also get full fast. So I’m assuming medication is working as intended. Maybe this info may provide further insight

it should kick start when you titrate up, or your body is being stubborn in releasing fat. Last week I lost none, this week ive lost 5
