If I've missed the thread, apologies, but I am wondering if anyone is nearing their goal weight, or has reached it, amd close to or at maintenance and if maintenance is something others would want to discuss?
Goal Weight and Maintenance
- Thread starter MingHenry
- Start date
Surpassed my goal weight by about 7-8 lb and still losing weight (much slower now -- 4-5 lb per month) at 7.5 mg Tirz.
Wife says I need to stop losing weight, but I want to see how far this goes (perhaps lose another 5-8 lb) before I drop down to maintenance dose, which I assume would be 5.0 mg.
Might decide to stop GLP-1 Tirz altogether for a month or two and let the receptors reset, assess my body's response to taking nothing, and see if I need anything at all, or resume at starting dose of 2.5 mg. Don't know yet.

I'm close, within 10 lb of goal weight. Once I achieve that will probably drop to every other week 2.5mg and see how that goes, or every week 1.25mg.
I wonder if a person just keeps losing or if it stops naturally eventually? I'm below my goal weight and next week I am thinking I'll drop down my dosing from 3.6 2x a week to 3 2x a week, from 7.2 to 6. I don't want to lose anymore but I want the food noise to stay away and I want the appetite suppression. Not sure why I felt COMPELLED to stock up on tirz to the degree I have!

everybody feels that way. fen phen went away so i don't think we are just paranoid. do gooders never stop.
That makes me feel better!
Well, if you are in a calorie deficit, you do lose fat/muscle mass. That’s unavoidable, but the lower your body fat is, the harder it is since your body will try to protect itself from starvation by using less energy etc.
Those are all of my thoughts exactly, like
when does the weight loss stop, etc.
Sitting on 2+ years of Tirz stash at maintenance dose!
I’ll likely try Reta at some point to compare.
I never imagined thinking I don't want to lose any more weight! I've probably got about that amount too. Have you reached your goal, or beyond? Have you reduced tirz mg?

Interesting conversation! I've dropped only about 50% of my goal so far (goal of 100# loss), but have seen others talk about a 1mg sema dose as maintenance once reaching goal weight.
My plan is Sema until stall, cagri/tirz/reta and perhaps Maz until I reach my goal. Original plan was the 1mg sema to maintain, but seems there will be more options/info about this by the time I get there.
My goal is still 10-15# over my "recommended" weight, but what I would be more than happy with. I can only hope that I have the same "problem" others have - keep losing weight after reaching goal. I cant even imagine being a Skinny chef! Never trust a skinny chef! lol

I reached my goal and beyond. Been taking 7.5 mg Tirz once per week for about the last 18 weeks, and still losing weight. Why drop the dose to 5 mg, when my body might still have a few more lb to lose? Plus all the other benefits: cardio protective, neuroprotective, and reduction in fatty liver (had a mild degree of fatty liver that showed up co-incidentally on a CT scan of my chest when I was hospitalized with COVID in 2020, and my mother has severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, now cirrhosis with dementia --- so reducing fatty liver as much as possible is big for me).
Glad you are beyond your goal as well.

I overshot by probably 10-15 lbs... so I do not want to lose any more (and am not trying but also looks like I leveled off)... so technically in maintenance now.. but for me this was all about blood glucose anyways.. so that's what I am trying to figure out still.. don't really have a good answer to that yet.. (but I went up to 7.5 with a brief attempt at 10mg...without much of impact on BG levels.. or maybe I expected more)
Or you on 5mg once a week now or 2.5?
Can I ask what dose you're on now?
Yes, all the other benefits, in addition to weight loss! Have you had another scan of your chest since being on tirz? So sorry about your mother.

I'm on 7.5mg/wk right now for a final push, but when I first started using tirz I was able to balance my appetite with 1.25mg/wk. If I hit my goal I will be about 15-20% body fat after progressively increasing the dose to lose about 30lb. At 1.25mg I felt hungry sometimes but I had control of it enough that I didn't gain. I called it a magic key back then, that's what I'm hoping for! Almost no medicine but just enough to give me a second to decide to eat only ONE piece of pizza and not ONE PIZZA! 😛

I am staying on 7.5 (for now).. I may go up for a bit just to see if it has any additional effect on BG levels.. dreaming of sub-100 fasting BG...
No other scans. I am healthy and take no prescription medications. Never have.
My mother was once a brilliant school teacher, certified and taught gift and talented. Now, unable to make a phone call, and has been in a nursing home for 2 years. Dementia is a terrible disease and I don't want this for myself. If Tirz helps prevent this, I am a customer.

I’ve done the same. I’m 7 pounds below my goal, and have about a years worth of Tirz at my losing dose. I’m still watching the sales and group buys!
Congrats and I know!! I have a ton of vials in my freezer! People on reddit say how much $ they are saving by taking Monjouro, Zep, compound tirz, they aren't buying groceries as they did, etc., but for me it's been just the opposite! Collagen peptides, electrolytes, protein powders, shakes, vials, testing, syringes, a pen now, vial cases, a thermos instead of the cases, a smart scale, the clothes I can no longer wear, now the glow blend, the pen needles, but at least I'm now using the Ninja blender I only had used twice before when I bought it 3 years ago! Oh, and I forgot -- my brain which apparently is now only good for researching peptides etc!

Thank-you! And congratulations to you on getting lots of use out of your Ninja! 😆

I'm sorry to hear this! My mom has early stages of dementia too. I'm actually trying hard to get her on prescription Ozempic to help with dementia, weight loss, arthritis and general inflammation, but her doctor is not cooperative. She mistrusts GLP-1s and all such "diet drugs."
But I'm way off topic! Best wishes for lots of success in maintenance.

This is so spot on. I’m in the same boat.😂

She needs a new doctor. I know, hard to do, especially if she has been her doctor for many years. But it makes you wonder if her doctor lives under a rock. What other things is she in the dark ages about? Let me guess... statins. But I digress.
I read a study a few years ago that suggested Alzheimer's Disease was potentially contributed to by (among other things) a disorder of glucose metabolism. This was before mainstream medicine (meaning providers/clinicians) were aware of the GLP1 research, or maybe the first of the research was perhaps making the chatter at medical conferences.

I’ve heard the same! And that it might even be called “Type 3” diabetes!

I vote for finding another doctor too. It’s not about what she trusts or believes in. The evidence is in and growing for all the life-changing benefits of these medications. The doctor works for the patient and must have a better reason for denying a valid medical treatment than her own ignorance.

Yes. Heard that too. Sorry about your mom. My mother has end stage dementia and it sucks. Getting my weight, blood sugar, and inflammation under control in hopes of avoiding that terrible disease.
Same! I’m pretty much a genetic replica of my mom!
But I’m sorry that your mom is struggling so. I feel like I should start a new thread where we talk about how we could use peptides to help our elderly parents!

My mom is in a nursing home, unfortunately. But it was necessary for her safety. Wish I knew about these years ago when maybe it could have made a difference.
Hopefully your mom can benefit since it’s still in the early stages. 🙏🏻
