I've been holding at 0.5mg for five weeks and the scale has stalled the last two. Did you bump up or wait it out? Curious what worked for others.

Honestly, I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Cheering you on from here. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Coming back to this thread, Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. This community is the best.

Adding my two cents: I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Keep us posted!

Reading this and My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Rooting for you. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
