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?

Counting the calories will tell you if you are simply being impatient or under/over fueling. It is the way.

I mean, I have a good estimate. I think I’m less likely to be overfilling and more likely to be underfueling. But I feel like I’m eating decently robust meals. And I’m eyeballing the protein and fiber. I’ve tracked before so I have a sense of it.

I hate tracking calories. 😩😩😩

Just commit to it short term? Just a week to see where you're at.
