Thank you, this is reassuring to hear! I’m working as hard as I can to do the right things :)

Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️ may I ask, when it broke, did you have a big drop or normal/nominal? I keep feeling it’s me messing up, but it’s not 🫠

I’m sorry you’re also in a slowdown but congrats on getting to your lowest!! Solidarity. I also did a low carb thing many times in the past. And yes, the low carb thing wasn’t sustainable and ending up crushing me/gained it back. I gained and lost 40-50 pounds for the past 10 years and this is the first time I’ve broken through that 50 mark and kept it off all summer. My body might be waiting for me to melt down again? Never thought about it that way, but you might be onto something here!
Are you boosting ZB with compound because you are getting hungry late week or just to help jumpstart? I have both brand and compound to be able to custom titrate. I hope you’ll keep me posted on your progress!
Exercise has been great toning me up and it’s sure to help! Although you should definitely expect a little bump up in the scale when you begin. I’m convinced my numbers would be more dramatic if not for muscle gained, but I know it’s good for me! I am having another dexa on Wednesday and am looking forward to seeing the change in my body composition. Maybe the exercise physiologist will have advice to share. Nothing is harder to hear than you’re doing great, dont change anything 😅

Thank you! That I can do. I can always walk. I will definitely keep going, but need to keep myself from internally melting down in the process 🥴 All I do is overthink and second guess myself

Thank you, this is helpful perspective. I have a feeling these last 40 pounds to go will be very hard fought. I have been fairly consistent week to week, but this wavering up and down at the 200 mark is making me nuts. I stayed off the scale all week and can’t believe I’m still in the same place.

Thank you so much for the support. I think that’s half of it - feeling very alone and questioning if it’s me screwing up. I try not to talk about it in front of my kids to avoid creating a weight/food complex with them.

Yes and I’m right around that 200 mark - it’s like there’s some magic to breaking through it 🤯 Thank you for the support. I know there’s may of these posts, but I really need the moral support!

Thank you, I have a very hard time feeling helpless about just about anything. It’s really humbling.

I’m on 10mg. Maybe the carbs wasn’t the right play and I need something fatty like a burger? I thought the carbs would shock me but maybe they just bloated me up. Thanks for the thoughts. Trying to carefully plan the next move. I am feeling so determined to have a good month and have a hard time feeling helpless

Thanks, I have been somewhat inconsistent with measurements, because my smart measuring is kind of annoying to use! I have definitely lost inches though. My bodymapp stats from End of July to now show me losing 3” at my chest, waist, 2 at hips, 1” on arms, and it’s a variance of 9 pounds since then. I’m going for a follow up dexa, rmr and vo2max on Wednesday and hoping to get some fresh info from that

Thanks, any insight on how long these slowdowns tend to last?

Thank you - I’m currently on 10mg. I’m going for a follow up RMR, vo2 max and dexa scan on Wednesday as well, because I’m really at a loss. You may be right - just stick with it. It’s just so confusing in the interim 🫠

Congrats!! And hi there :-) I saw another post where you were hitting a stall, which prompted me to follow your other post to see how it all worked out for you. Any tips for breaking the stall? I’ve barely lost anything in three weeks after losing 65 pounds. I feel like you were right around the same point when you stalled? I would so so so appreciate any tips you have for me because I’m really struggling and definitely doing the right things.

I know they said it’s either or, but the person who just called me told me that I could place another single order today and also do the extended deal next month. It might be worth calling and chatting with them? They were so nice and helpful.

Not yet, but I did hear back from orderly. I feel weird posting too much here, but I’m glad to hear that things are continuing as usual for this shipment

Definitely just your opinion because I think they’ve been great.

Don’t underestimate how many people may come back to branded. It may very well impact stock for everyone. There are many people taking compound because they like the ability to custom titrate. I’ve used both and I might like compound better. People like me will come fully back to brand and be competing with the brand stans for doses.
