Do people tend to stall around 210 after starting at 250-300 lbs with GLP-1s?

I wish that were happening for me. I remain stuck in the high 260s and am adding more cardio to try to push past the plateau.

No details on your actual intake or activity level. Are you logging calories and movement? The daily drinking also raises flags that things may not be fully controlled yet. Work out your TDEE, then subtract 1000 calories. After four to eight weeks without movement, eat at maintenance for a week before cutting again. Weight can stay flat one week and drop the next. A higher dose might help, but tighter consistency and more fiber plus fewer late carbs would probably matter too.

I could not hit 3000 calories even if I tried, but I can raise intake. Thanks for the congrats. I quit heavier drugs years ago and that left me isolated, so I slipped into drinking instead. Not drinking feels manageable since I never enjoyed the daily habit much. Same to you on staying sober.

Nice work dropping the alcohol. Your body may simply defend the low 200s as a set point. I began tirz at 335 and noticed resistance first in the 260s then again in the low 240s, both weights I had carried for years. More protein and adding other medications helped me push through. I sit at 217 now aiming for 205 and expect the last stretch to fight back. Prior GLP-1 use can blunt later response, so higher doses of the next medication often work better. Reta also tends to keep working longer than sema or tirz, giving more runway.

6'2" starting at 330, now 270 on 20 mg tirz. I figured out the stall was purely from not maintaining a calorie deficit. Lifting helps health but does not drive the scale much and can muddy the picture. Individual variation and the specific medication add more noise. The answers are already discussed on the forum.

Cannot wait to get stuck at 210. Currently 6'2" at 265, week three on reta at 1 mg weekly after starting at 0.75. Scale barely moves but I am staying committed.

Started near 277 and cannot seem to drop below roughly 192. I have been flat there for three weeks. That weight may be fine for my 6'2" frame given my history. I would like to reach 176 for a 100-pound total loss but suspect it is too low. I keep lifting to add muscle while losing fat. My body has needed short reset periods a couple times already.

Yes, it happens. I spent over three weeks sitting right around 212 while holding calories steady near 1200. This morning the scale read 201. Keep the same intake and do not overhaul anything; the weight will keep coming off.

Also 6 foot male, a little older. I have yo-yoed from the 260s down to 210 multiple times. Now on tirz for the first time and heading downward again. I wonder if the same 210-220 area will act as a plateau or if I can go lower. That range feels like a natural weight given my activity level and lifestyle preferences. I have added muscle since the last time I was at 220, so body composition should look better. Why is 185 the specific goal? Are you especially muscular? Dropping below 200 would probably require very low body fat or losing existing muscle, neither of which appeals. At 30, simply staying under 210 for the next decade would already be a strong result.

They mark the brand or vial cap color so I know which compound I am using each day. Some entries are doses in milligrams, others in units because the concentrations differ between vials I am finishing off.

Would a short, aggressive deficit phase help push past the current sticking point? It is tough mentally and not sustainable, but a defined short window might work. I once did four protein shakes daily at 720 calories for 100 days without any GLP-1 and lost 90 pounds, though it all returned. Near goal the same approach feels even harder, yet it could be worth considering if maintenance on the medication will hold the result afterward.

Low-dose reta every two weeks. I expect the stall to worsen soon. A weekend of good eating and beers two weeks ago did not help. Once the initial large fat loss phase ends, progress naturally slows. Early on I was dropping a pound a day. Discipline still matters for the medication to keep working.

If calories are tracked consistently yet weight stays flat for weeks, that intake is your actual TDEE at your current activity. Calculator estimates have larger errors than typical deficits. Most people also under-count what they really eat. Weigh and log everything precisely, then adjust. Fear of starvation mode is overstated; users on these drugs often sustain 1000-1500 calorie deficits and lose two to three pounds weekly with only modest adaptation as body size decreases.
