I’ve Tried Everything and My Weight Won’t Shift” – What’s Really Going On?

📍Frustrated With Stubborn Weight Loss? You’re Not Alone.

If you're eating well, staying active, and feel like you've tried everything—but the weight just won't budge—you’re not failing. You're not lazy. And your body isn’t broken.

At 121 Clinic Kempston, we regularly help patients who are stuck in the same frustrating place. The truth is: stubborn weight loss is often a symptom, not a cause. Let’s explore what may be holding you back—and how to move forward.

🔍 Why Isn’t My Weight Shifting?

1️⃣ Hormonal Weight Gain

Hormonal changes (especially in women over 35) can block weight loss, particularly around the belly and hips. Insulin resistance, perimenopause, thyroid issues, or PCOS may be silently sabotaging your progress.

➡️ Clue: You eat healthy and still gain weight or can’t lose it, despite calorie control. It may be time to seek professional help!

2️⃣ You’re Under Chronic Stress

Stress increases cortisol, which tells your body to store fat. Even if you’re exercising and eating well, high stress can stall your metabolism and trigger cravings.

✅ Tip: Focus on stress-reducing habits like yoga, breathwork, and prioritising rest over high-intensity workouts. Find a way to relax!

3️⃣ Underlying Medical Conditions or Medications

Some medications (like antidepressants or steroids) and conditions (like sleep apnoea, insulin resistance, or hypothyroidism) can prevent weight loss.

💡 A medical weight loss consultation helps uncover the full picture and build the right plan.

💉 Mounjaro vs Wegovy – A Game-Changer?

You’ve likely seen headlines about Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) — breakthrough weight loss injections available in the UK.

A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found Mounjaro helped patients lose more weight than Wegovy. But which is better for you?

It depends. That’s why at 121 Clinic Kempston, we take time to understand your:

• Health history

• Hormonal profile

• Lifestyle

Then we personalise your treatment.
