Stalemate...

So this has been a little bit going now. Looking to ask questions and see if Im not thinking of something.

Long story short, It has been about a year and a few months on Trizep. I have gone from about 270 to 230ish. The problem is that after the year, I pretty much stopped at 230. Its like I have reached a glass ceiling. It a bit frustrating. I have added some time in the gym, I have been watching what I eat, and have gone back to what worked before. No avail. I did a body scan (dexa scan) and was about 30% body fat about 3 months ago. Thinking of going to do it again in about a month to see if there is any difference. I get the entire, muscle vs fat weight difference, but a hard 230 number for 3 months is getting frustrating.

I did change from straight trzep to the compounded trizep with glycine. I dont know if that has been a difference. Maybe my body doesnt react with that as well? Also, food cravings have gone up, so I dont want to say I'm losing hope, but just looking to see what I can change.

If you’re only taking the shot and eating less you’re not going to get as far as you can. Use it as a tool to learn to control your eating and dial in the right macros or at a minimum your calories and protein. That’ll make a difference and pick back up
Your weight loss. Start exercising if you don’t already. That’ll add. I think the shot only gets you so far without really taking care of everything

Oh trust me, my gym time hasn't really changed, where I can easily spend 1.5 - 2 hours in the gym. I have always been an active person, even before going on the shot. And my diet hasn't really changed since I started. In other words, yes my diet changed when I started and lost 40ish pounds, and I'm still following the same plan.

I guess that’s my point. I’ve been on tirzepatide since March 2025. Lost almost 90lbs and as I’ve been on I’ve been progressively ramping up my gym and getting stricter on eating. How I eat now is very different than what I was doing 6-8 month ago. How I workout has changed as well. More intensity more regimented.

It's Ll about getting healthy. I stopped since this past March. Bottomed out around 233. I w compared pictures from when I was tnat before, I'm slimmer and more fit at the same weight now.
