Why Did I Stop Losing Weight on a GLP-1?

A stall can look simple on the scale while several different things may have changed underneath it.

Weight loss does not always move in a straight line. Appetite, routine, body size, treatment changes, and measurement timing can all affect what the scale shows. The difficult part is remembering what changed, when it changed, and what happened before the stall began.

The Scale Shows the Stall.

It Does Not Explain It.

A flat number can have more than one explanation.

Small changes in appetite, routine, symptoms, or treatment may be easy to forget.

Keep the Details That the Scale Cannot Hold

The GLP-1 Dose & Symptom Record gives you one place to preserve dates, doses, weight, appetite, symptoms, interruptions, and other changes over time.

It does not diagnose the reason for a stall or tell you what treatment to use. It helps you keep the details available so you do not have to reconstruct them from memory later.
