How to break stall?

[websurfer32]

Currently on Week 26 of tirz, @ 15mg now, SW: 200, CW: 188, GW: 150ish. Ive stalled for the last 1-2 months! I know im not overeating, Im not as active as I should be since I have a weird work schedule. I cant seem to get lower than 188. Any advice?

You could mix in some reta. I'm currently on 5 day doses of 7.5mg of Tirz and 4mg of Reta (offset 3 days after the Tirz) and I've started dropping quickly after a few months of not moving much while just on Tirz.

Activity would absolutely help. Also, what's your RMR ? Tracking Macros? Have you gotten any labs done to check for other imbalances? If all else is good, it's calories consumed VS used as you know. I suspect you're probably where you should be to maintain weight. You may need to go deeper into a deficit. How many grams of protein are you consuming per day ?

Did you rule out a weight loss slow/stall after switching to a different batch of tirz? And was that batch lab-tested properly?

12 pounds in 26 weeks would have me reevaluating the Tirz itself. Have you switched vials to a different vendor?

A weekend of heavy tequila drinking and Mexican food usually works for me. I also started doing my shot every 5 days instead of 7.

It doesn't work for everyone, but if you have a preferred site that you normally inject you can try switching injection sites. I only experienced one stall when I was losing. I normally inject in the abdomen, but I switched to arms for two weeks and things started moving again. Its worth a shot!

add cagri or survo

A couple things to break your stall:

1. Increase activity - even small changes help. Since you mentioned a weird work schedule, try adding short walks or quick bodyweight exercises during breaks.

2. Look at your macros and protein intake. Sometimes weight loss stalls when protein drops too low. Aim for at least 0.8g per pound of goal weight.

3. Consider a diet break or slight calorie increase. Paradoxically, eating a bit more can sometimes restart metabolism. Your body might be in conservation mode.

4. Mix up your workout routine. If you're doing the same exercises, your body adapts. Try different intensities or types of movement.

5. Check stress and sleep. Both can significantly impact weight loss. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep and find stress management techniques.

Keep tracking and don't get discouraged! Plateaus are normal in any weight loss journey. You've already lost 12 lbs, which is awesome progress!

In the diet break category i would include switching diets, this is how i restarted losing weight after a holiday ( working +10k steps a day to zero exercise so about no weight lost in 3 months )

01.12.24 - _94.2KG - 110CM Waist - Holiday ( no exercise but still eating mostly keto ), diet drinks still in diet.
01.03.25 - _93.2KG - 106CM Waist - Switch to high carb, low fat. Fruit during the day, starch at night. All drinks/sugar substitutes removed from diet without trying. Energy levels high.
01.04.25 - _89.4kg - 104CM Waist

Sorry, im bad at math. So tirz and reta shots 3 days apart every five days?

Yeah if I had Tirz on a Monday I'd have Reta on a Thursday type gig.

In saying that I'm only on Reta these days - I don't have much weight to lose anymore though.

100% agree. A 48 hour fast always got me going again. 72 would be better or be hard core and go 5 days.

Dang, im terrible at fasting but going to give it a try, thanks you two!

Even holding off breakfast until ? is still fasting bc you haven't ate all night.
We were raised on breakfast being important. It ain't.
I'd go to 9:30 or 10:00 a.m., but I get low blood sugar shakes (tremors not milkshakes)
Yeah, and black coffee doesn't count. ☕👍Good shit!

Im doing it buddy! Last meal yesterday at 6pm, steak and salad, nothing today. I pinned 3mg of reta this morning and have flown thru the day, my plan is to eat tomorrow at 6pm, 48 hour fast. Im at 25 hours now and am 266 on the scale which means ill be about 3 pounds down by morning which will officially break my 265 - 270 3 week stall. Thank you!!!

Well maybe. I tend to lose about 3 pounds overnight. But probably not if im fasting? Dunno, giving it a try and gonna try to last out tomorrow. If i cant hang, have deck of cards size cooked turkey and salmon in the freezer at work. Will just go that route if i hafta!
