[quote=Anonymous]OP, I've been on tirzepatide for about 18 months now. I've lost (as of this morning) 85 pounds. I have not exceeded 7.5 dosage.

For many months now there are weeks at a time where my weight doesn't change, or it drops 3-4 pounds then up 3, then stalls. Then drops 3-4 pounds then up 2, then stalls. Etc... There are times when I feel like the pace is glacial and I get discouraged. Then I take a step back.  I have managed steady weight loss, while eating healthily (and what I choose) without feeling deprived. I've stayed on a low dose with minimal side effects, while not having to feel like I have to obsess over every calorie I put in my mouth.

I may lose another 5-10 pounds before I start trying to titrate down a bit and just shoot for maintenance. And it may take me 6 months to lose the last 5-10 and I'm determined to be ok with that. :-)

Hang in there! Go up a bit in dose if you want to lose more quickly, remember you're in it for the long haul and it's ok if you take your time. (It's perhaps even advisable in terms of skin elasticity, maintaining protein levels, etc...)

Good luck! [/quote]
