9 GLP-1 Mistakes That Are Stalling Your Weight Loss

9 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight on GLP-1s | What We Learned After Losing 150+ Pounds 📍 In this video, we’re talking about something that comes up all the time in the GLP-1 community: Why am I not losing weight? We’ve been there. I’m Christopher Durham. I’m Laraine Durham. And we are The Downsized. Together, we’ve lost over 150 pounds using Zepbound, Mounjaro, and tirzepatide — and in this episode, we’re sharing 9 real reasons your progress may have slowed down or stalled altogether on a GLP-1 medication. If you’re frustrated, confused, or just looking for answers, this video is for you. 🧠 Some of these reasons are about mindset. ⚙️ Some are functional, practical, and fixable today. 📊 All of them come from our lived experience after 77 weeks on these medications. Here's what we cover in this video: You’re rushing the process — GLP-1s are not a quick fix. They’re a long-term treatment. You’re focused only on the scale — Weight loss isn’t linear. You might be changing in ways you can’t see. You’re treating the dose like a magic bullet — Higher doses don’t always mean faster weight loss. It’s about what works for you. You’re not eating enough real food — Undereating can slow you down. Your body still needs fuel. You’re skipping the basics — Water, sleep, and stress management really matter. You’re inconsistent with your shot — Timing matters. Skipping a dose can affect your progress for weeks. You’re not moving your body — You don’t need to run marathons. Small movement adds up. You’re trying to outsmart the medication — There’s no hack. Just habits. Real food. Patience. You’re treating this like a diet — This is not a diet. It’s a medical treatment for the disease of obesity. 🎯 Whether you’re on semagltuide, or tirzepatide — if your weight loss is stalling, chances are at least one of these is playing a role. 👉 Let us know in the comments which one of these resonates with you — or if you have another tip that helped get things moving again.
