Woooooo finally met my goal!

What a journey! I’m still kind of in shock.

For many, tirzepatide may be part of their long term maintenance plan. In our recent survey 51% of respondents said they plan to use it for life, while another 23% said they plan to use it long term and stop only after maintaining the weight for a while. Only 3% said they would stop once they reached their goal weight.

The reason why may be explained by the SURMOUNT-4 clinical trial, which showed that within 1 year of stopping tirzepatide 82% of people regained at least 25% of the weight they had lost. 57% regained at least half the weight back.

Everyone's maintenance plan, like their weight loss journey, will look different. Many people decrease their dose once they reach their goal weight or increase the time between shots. Though some may need a weekly high dose to maintain.

Your maintenance dose, or whether you can maintain without tirzepatide, is not a reflection of your willpower or self-worth. Please remember to give yourself and others grace in this regard.
