GLP-1 Weight Loss Stalled? Here’s What Actually Changed
from Living Well Into Our Older Years · host healthybygeorge
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. 00:00 Weight Loss Stall Intro 00:38 Channel Focus and Subscribe 01:04 Why I Stalled Last Year 01:33 Hip Surgery Complications 03:54 Emotional Eating History 05:21 Scale Stuck but Body Changing 06:52 Why Muscle Matters Aging 07:33 Strength Training Plan 08:48 Track Inches Not Pounds 09:53 Tools DEXA and Bioimpedance 11:13 Final Encouragement and Wrap 🌿💚 📌 Disclaimer: The views shared here are solely for education and entertainment.
