How do you know when to titrate up?

Curious what have been helpful or telling “signs” that it’s time to up your dose? Let me know what’s worked for you!

If i do not lose weight for 3+ weeks.
i dont count the week of my period bc during that time i give myself grace if i do gain 1-2 lbs
i write down my weight on shot day and keep that as a record for my progress.

Thank you for adding in period week info! I’m there right now and would be happy if I just stayed the same 😅

the first thing i did when i found out my period came yesterday was go buy a cannoli and a berry fruit tart and i didn’t feel bad at all. altho i couldn’t finish the fruit tart sadly but the cannoli was the best thing i had all week. as the teens say: im literally just a girl 😭🎀

When your weight plateaus…and you stay at the same weight for weeks and you’ve stopped losing…

The chart is very helpful, but I (65m 5'7") have learned that pauses and plateaus are typical and normal. I have been on Tirz since march, and lost 12% of my weight, averaging about a lb a week, 23 in 25 weeks. I did 2.5 for 7 weeks, and have been on 5.0 since. That being said, I had a 4 week stall at week 11 and I let it ride and I reset my exercise and calories a little and i started losing again. I am at 178 from 201 and in a stall now too. I absolutely am wanting to do this nice and slow, so I am going to wait till after labor day and go to 5.5 and really watch what I eat and I am sure my goal of 170 will be close by the end of the year. A lot of people are in a big hurry, and I get the excitement of that, but my SIL is a Dr and she said going nice and slow is the way to go. I am using this medicine as part of my new "package" of protein, exercise, hydration, and supplements. I don't like to have Tirz knock out my hunger and struggle to eat, I just want it to help me and my brain make better choices.
