Changing schedule is my new hobby

I had good results earlier and dropped 27 kg over seven months. When it was time to increase from 10 mg the brand version price jumped and I looked for other options instead. Now I just want to return to a steady 10 mg until that stops working, then increase as planned. I am fully on track with food and protein, sometimes even struggling to hit the numbers, with no binges or off-plan eating. Even at a birthday meal I chose a salad without issue.

If the stall has lasted a few weeks and you are already struggling to reach your calorie target, the issue is probably calories rather than dose. Hunger and food noise are not the problem here.

My diet has not changed, so that cannot be it. The stall has been roughly one and a half to two months.

That is probably exactly why. After losing weight, the calories that used to create a deficit are now maintenance level.

You do need to adjust intake. Once weight is lower the body requires fewer calories to keep losing. Stabilize the dose first, then it becomes easier to reduce calories. You do not have to force food in if the goal is still fat loss.

Track neck, chest, waist, arms and thighs monthly. Training can add muscle at the same rate fat is lost, so the scale stays flat while clothes get looser. That happened to me for a couple of months before others noticed the change.

I am trying to recomp, so I need enough protein and a modest deficit to build muscle while losing fat. That worked at the start but now progress has stopped.

I am hoping that is what is happening.

After the first gains it is hard to keep adding lean mass, especially if you are not young or using hormones. Just lower calories to keep moving forward. Not all lean-mass loss is actual muscle loss unless the deficit is extreme.

Right now calories are still too high for loss. You could switch focus to maintenance and muscle gain for a while instead of forcing the scale down.

Maybe, but I still want to drop the remaining 10 kg. It is frustrating.

I will go back to a simpler approach that worked before I started tracking calories. Just focus on protein again instead of total calories.

My estimated levels never went that high, around 15 mg at most.

I meant total amount injected over time, not the current calculated level. Weekly 10 mg equals roughly 520 mg per year while 7 mg every three days equals over 850 mg per year. That higher cumulative exposure might create tolerance. I stopped 18 days ago and still have no strong hunger and have lost more than a kilo since then.

People around me notice, though I do not always see it myself. My face looks leaner, old photos show clear change, and veins are more visible on my arms and hands, which I like.

Steady progress wins. Scheduling apps make it easy to keep a consistent protocol so you can actually see what each change does.
