GLP-1 Weight Loss Stalled? Here’s What Actually Changed

Weight Loss Stalled on a GLP-1? Why the Scale Isn’t Moving (and What to Track Instead After 50)

A medical researcher in her 50s shares why her GLP-1 (Mounjaro 12.5) weight loss stalled after starting in December, explaining how hip replacement surgery, complications, hospitalizations, and stopping and restarting the medication contributed to a plateau and a brief 5-pound gain. She discusses her long history with PCOS, emotional eating, and overcoming past habits through intentional tracking and an “80/20” approach. Despite minimal scale change, she reports improved body composition—more muscle, lower fat percentage, and fewer inches in her waist and hips—after regaining mobility and focusing on strength training. She emphasizes prioritizing muscle with aging, tracking progress beyond the scale using measurements, bioimpedance tools like a Hume band, or a DEXA scan, and notes the risk of muscle loss on GLP-1 drugs.
