Does anyone else stay at 0.5mg longer than the standard schedule?

I've been doing a weekly log in this thread and several people have asked me to keep going so here's month 3 update: down 31 lbs from 278 to 247. Lost about 3-4 lbs per month after the fast initial drop. Stalled for 2 weeks at month 2.5 and it broke on its own. Energy is better. Sleep is better. Still on 0.5mg and my doctor wants to see me stay here another month.

Reading this and Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Hang in there.

Just wanted to say, Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call.

Following along, I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Rooting for you.

Congrats! That first 25 lbs is the hardest because you're still figuring everything out.

Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Six months in and down 41 lbs total. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Thanks for sharing this.

Adding my two cents: Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Onward! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
