I just started 7.5 mg and instead of losing I’ve gained 5lbs
I’m so confused my consumption is same, water intake 4 litres a day.
I had first dose of 7.5 this week and instead of weight on scale or measurement I’ve gained 5lbs and I’ve no clue why is it happening I did lose during 2.5 and 5mg dosages but it’s all coming back on 7.5mg. I need to lose 40lbs.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone so I’ve been posting about the journey related posts now and then but there is something I have been facing I post around 11 KGs in total my starting weight was 87KG and now it’s 76KG
I started off on 2.5mg and first 6 weeks I lost 8 KGs that was a good start for me I was actually feeling the change not only physically but also internally. I continued on 2.5mg for next 2 weeks but there was no change on scale even though my appetite was all suppressed.
I transitioned to 5mg and now it’s 5th week on 5mg yet I’ve only managed to lose 3 KGs in 5 weeks from last 1 week there ain’t any change on scale nor any in the measurement as I don’t directly consider the change on scale but even if the scale shows same weight while if there’s a difference in measurement it makes me happy and keep going but I’m just confused while being on 2.5mg for 1 week the last one when I transitioned to 5mg no change was observed and now again it’s gonna be my 6th week being on 5mg still no change on scale or measurement.
Is it normal to hit plateau on different dosage again and again shall I transition to 7.5 mg or shall I continue on 5mg.
I never faced any side effects like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea also my appetite is suppressed the same way when I started off at 2.5mg. I’m a little confused if I am eating protein and complete 10K steps daily while being on a calorie deficit why my body stop responding to tirzepatide over and over again.
Is it normal? anyone who has faced or going through the same thing please let me know any suggestion, advice or sharing your journey will help me keep going according to my BMI I’d need to lose 35 Lbs to reach my ideal weight and healthy BMI.
What should be the timeline I should expect to reach there, shall I increase the dose or to continue on 5mg ? Will plateau break on the same dose.
Hi everyone I’ve had chemical peel done from hands and now the issue is my hand itself is way too light while the wrist is too dark it seems to be like I got chemical burn on my wrists.
As I’ve fair complexion and the arm and hands are fair yet the wrist is too dark what should I do to make it lighter.
P.S: it’s been over 8 months that my wrist being too dark I’ve used vitamin c, azelic acid, retinol and glycolic acid tried everything yet it is not getting back to its original color.
Hi I everyone just want to check if someone going through or has been through the similar phase
I lost 4kg in the first month on 2.5 mg and then for a week it was stuck, I had 5mg dose 3 days a go there is no side effects I’ve faced but at the same time today marks day 4 of my dose yet there is not a 0.01kg difference on the weight scale.
I’m on calorie deficit along with that drinking 4L of water everyday, no food noises no sugar intake nor carbs just have protein mainly and fibers
My question is has someone being through this where you exercise regularly and eating in deficit yet no loss on the scale. For the first 4 weeks my measurements changed but now it’s been 1.5 week no difference in measurements either. I want to keep going without feeling demotivated.
Is there anyone who hit plateau and increased dosage didn’t make any difference ? How to take it forward shall I expect any loss in week 6 or is the plateau gonna last if so how to break the plateau bcz I was feeling too good when the loss was being shown on scale and inches but right now I’m a little sad to see no progress for 2 weeks even after increase in dosage
Hi everyone my CBC is pretty much good it’s 14 but my ferritin is 18 although for doctors that’s normal but I’ve been facing severe hair shedding for past 8 years no doctor cared to address the ferritin issue the topical minoxidil, shampoo everything I have tried for years never got a single baby hair back now I’ve reached to the point where not only all my hair got thin but also extreme shedding from crown area hai made me bald.
I would really appreciate if someone could guide me how can I increase my ferritin as my iron storage units are low while my CBC is perfectly normal not anaemic at all.
Any supplement or medication that could help me ?

Hi everyone I’m 28 and my tummy is like this, I am on 2.5mg for 1 month now and now from next week it will be 5mg so far I’ve lost 4 kg in 1st month but there is no difference in belly while I’ve noticed changes in inches in overall body except belly
The picture attached is of my belly, I need guidance on how to get rid of the lower belly fat, is someone out there who has lost this fat through tirzepatide. I really need guidance and motivation as I’m on 10K daily steps walk and 10-15 min resistance training 4 days a week
Hey everyone since I’ve been seeing amazing transformation journey here, there are few things I want to ask about I know the post would be lengthy but any reply would make me feel a lot better.
I’ve been diagnosed as pre- diabetic. I started trapatide 3 weeks ago go during my first 2 weeks I lost around 2 KGs but it’s been a week I didn’t lose any weight at all. I’m 30 and I go to gym 3 days in a week while I mainly do exercises that are allowed based on my other health issues my doctor has restricted me from using machines or doing strength training.
Before the diabetes test I used to eat less that’s been my pattern I never over eat or ate a lot of food but I had a tendency to gain maybe that’s why I got to this point.
My main concern is I’ve not lost a gram during last week and next week on Thursday will be my next shot time, I’m on 2.5mg dose and I wish to not increase it at all. Also I’m concerned if it would give any side effects like early aging or skin sagging as I’ve relatively small face and sharp features so the fat is only on my body not on my face. People if look only at my face can never tell I could be this heavy.
So these things are a lot concerning me I want to keep 2.5mg till the end of my weight loss journey but it has already stopped working in the 3rd week if my doctor increases the dosage to 5mg will that be dangerous, will I have to continue getting the dosage up every month or how can I manage to keep it 2.5mg and still keep losing weight. I’m going to gym and eating just one meal a day that too either boiled eggs or meat. I never had a big appetite and the medicine has further made it less not complaining totally working for me as I feel energetic also I walk around 8K steps everyday and I stay highly hydrated drink 3.5L of water per day.
I’ve to lose 20 KGs not on the basis of BMI as per that it should be 35KGs weight loss but I’m aiming just for 20KGs as it would make me feel better. I once did before through keto.
Guys please suggest something really want someone to help answer my concerns.
