MyGlowTaking a break or moving to maintenance on a GLP-1: how to track it
Why pauses happen
Supply shortages, travel, side effects, cost, surgery or a planned step-down to maintenance are all common reasons. Whatever the reason, make the decision with your clinician. Don't stop or change a dose on your own.
Keep tracking during a pause
- Weight: once or twice a week, the same as before.
- Protein and water: appetite may return, and your habits are what carry you.
- How you feel: hunger, energy and mood are useful to share.
Mark it as a pause, not a failure
Many trackers reset streaks or show missed doses as red flags during a planned break. MyGlow has a pause phase: reminders stop, your streak and history are kept, and the chart shows the pause clearly.
Maintenance phases
If your clinician moves you to a lower dose or a longer interval (for example every 10 or 14 days), update the schedule in your tracker so reminders and countdowns stay accurate.

Should I keep tracking my weight during a GLP-1 break?
Yes. Weighing once or twice a week and noting hunger and energy gives you and your clinician a clear picture of how the pause is going.
Does MyGlow reset my streak if I pause my medication?
No. MyGlow's pause phase stops reminders and keeps your streak and history intact.
Can I track a GLP-1 maintenance dose every 10 or 14 days?
