Hi there! I’m three months off wegovy and have maintained my weight loss since stopping. In order to maintain, I’ve been super strict with tracking macros, a little obsessive with exercising and step count and feeling anxious when having a meal out. This feels like a mix between feeling sustainable in order to continue with my goals and like I’m white-knuckling it and one wrong move away from starting to gain.

Has anyone else felt this way/dealt with this? Is it a mindset thing? What advice do you have? I know I have the tools and know what to do but some days it feels like a battle.

Hi! I lost 20lb (a combo of pregnancy weight and about 10lb that slowly came on over time from being really lax about eating) from wegovy and recently came off due to side effects and ultimately reaching my goal. I read the book Losing The Weight Loss Meds which was great AND it’s a slippery slope for me in terms of obsessing and controlling things now that I’m in maintenance.

Does anyone else relate to this? Any tips? Does it get easier and more relaxed? I am finding that I spend so much mental energy on tracking macros, meal prepping, making grocery lists, trying to fit in exercise, etc. I am motivated because I feel great and comfortable in my body and I do enjoy planning… so I’m wondering if the mental energy I am spending is worth it and the cost of keeping my weight here and being happy. But phew it takes up a lot of space in my head and a lot of my free time!
