Thirteen weeks at the same dose with no change on the scale, and I have gone from assuming it was the drug to assuming it was me and back several times.

What would genuinely help is knowing how to distinguish a genuine plateau from measurement noise and creeping intake, before changing anything.

I would rather have one careful answer than five confident ones.

Plateau breaking story with a stall: I stalled at 206 lbs for 5 weeks. Tried everything — calorie cycling, increased exercise, more water. Nothing worked.

What finally broke the plateau: switching from evening to morning injection. Lost 7 lbs in the next 2 weeks. Plateaus are temporary — they always break if you stay consistent.

PharmD_Rodriguez has the substance of this right. The condition it depends on is worth stating. Genuine plateaus happen too, and the mechanism is metabolic adaptation plus a smaller body. A body 20kg lighter needs meaningfully fewer calories at rest and less to move, so the deficit that produced the first phase is arithmetically smaller now. The options are the honest ones — increase the deficit slightly, increase activity, or accept the new plateau — and escalating the dose is only one of them.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. There is a difference between no evidence and evidence of no effect, and this subject is one where the two get swapped freely in both directions.
