Feeling stuck... 2 month 'plateau'

[mysparkleismissing]

I started MJ in Feb with a bmi of 37.3 I've lost 2s 9lbs since then and am currently on 5mg
From April I started swimming 3-5 times a week going at a moderate pace and definitely getting my heart rate up.

And from July added in some pilates and a bit of weight training a couple of times a week. I also have a physical job and generally hit 10k-14k steps a day.

Im allowed 1400 calories according to nutracheck and aim for 110g protien.

The last 2 months I've been around 12s 5 and I'm feeling really frustrated.

Nothing has changed. Im being consistent varying food drinking enough and loosing and gaining the same few lbs.

Any words of advice welcome

You could try going up to 7.5mg, but if you're absolutely sure that you're in a calorie deficit then I would suggest seeing the GP for bloods. It might be a thyroid issue.

I went up to 7.5 and then 10mg to escape my plateau and got down to 9 stone 10. I can message you my weight loss stats (I threw them into chatgpt and I’ve got the screenshot from the app)

I would suggest moving up doses. I have lost 6 stone since January with a start weight of 17 stone currently on 10mg. Is there a reason you have not moved up?

Could it be gaining a fair bit of muscle with all the extra exercise and being active? If you have smart scales it will give estimates of muscle mass etc

Somehow and it’s just not logical, another 1.2lbs on! I am very much looking forward to this bigger Wegovy dose to see if it will reverse this nonsense. My nutrition has been excellent, my water intake has been excellent, my protein levels high. I’ve got my steps every day and have exercised 3 times this week. Bah!!!!

If you have been in a plateau for that long then sounds like you aren’t actually in a deficit. I would double down on the calorie counting perhaps decrease to 1,300 and try and increase the steps.

you have to lower your calorie intake the more weight you lose,what you are on might just be maintenance.

increase your dose, lower your calories and measure your body. You’ll probably see size changes before pounds come off on the scales.

You’re miscounting your calories and are not in a deficit.

Thanks for all the replies, sorry for the delay in acknowledging those who took the time to reply and share your thoughts - it's been a crazy bonkers week and needed to have time to reply properly

I don't feel like I need to go up a dose as I'm feeling supression OK and it's not a battle to stay within my calories.

I could lower my calories but have steadily recalculated along my journey so far and the 'minimum' calorie allowance seems to be around 1200 - doesn't seem that far away from where I am and I've still 2 and a half stone to loose before I reach the top end of the range of my target weight/bmi

I also feel i'm tracking calories accurately

i've managed to book a support call with my supplier for next week so will see if that brings any insight

I do have smart scales - and more accurate ones at the gym - there's a minimal change in muscle gains from my interpretation of the numbers.

Thanks that would be great if that's still okay.

Sorry I didn’t see this! Do you want to message me?
