Return to running after weight loss — my results so far

Regarding lean mass: I accidentally injected my dose intramuscularly instead of subcutaneously last week (went in at wrong angle, too deep).

My endo's protocol for lean mass plateau: if weight loss stalls for 6+ weeks at current dose, we go through this checklist before titrating up:

1. Food diary review — is intake creeping up?
2. Protein check — minimum 100g/day
3. Activity audit — steps + resistance training
4. Sleep quality — poor sleep kills GLP-1 efficacy
5. Stress/cortisol management

Only after addressing all of these do we increase the dose. Often fixing one lifestyle factor restarts progress without needing more medication.

That reframing is the part I needed. Taking it to my next appointment.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions. Agreeing that something happens says nothing about whether it happens enough to act on.

Mine went the same way, slower. Posting only so the count is not one.

Reporting back.

Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
