7.5mg week and feeling great

Moved up to 7.5 this week and honestly the appetite quieting down has been a game changer for me. I'm about 18 lbs down and clothes that were tight all summer are finally fitting again. Anyone else find this dose to be their sweet spot with minimal side effects?

#2

Glad 7.5 is treating you well. I had a similar calm set in around that dose, and here I am 43 lbs later still going strong on it. Fits in old jeans hitting differently never gets old.

#3

7.5 was where the food chatter really died down for me too, right around when I'd dropped about 25 lbs. Getting back into pants I'd given up on was honestly the boost that kept me consistent. Glad it's clicking for you this early.

#4

7.5 sounds like it's clicking for you. I'm on a different med and lower dose, but the moment my food noise faded was when the scale finally started moving consistently for me too. Non-scale wins like clothes fitting kept me going early on.

#5

7.5 is where the noise in my head finally went quiet too, and I'm only 16 lbs in so I'm hoping it keeps working this well. Funny how the smaller wins like clothes fitting again end up motivating more than the scale does.

#6

7.5 ended up being where I settled too, appetite noise just faded into the background and the side effects stayed mild. Congrats on the clothes fitting again, that was a huge moment for me around a similar point. 55 lbs down here and still going strong on it.

#7

7.5 turned out to be my magic spot too, and I'm sitting at 48 lbs down with the quiet appetite never leaving. Enjoying the trousers again feels surreal, keep cashing in those NSVs as they pile up.

#8

7.5 was where things clicked for me too early on, though I'm still way behind you at 2 lbs down. The quieted appetite was the first thing I noticed before the scale really moved, so sounds like you're on the same track. Fingers crossed it stays this smooth for you.

#9

The quieted appetite hitting before the scale moves was exactly my pattern too, and 45 lbs later it never really stopped working. That first pair of summer pants going back on is a feeling I remember well. Hope 7.5 keeps being this smooth for you.

#10

The stall breaking after you stopped overthinking it tracks with what I saw at 10mg too. Keeping shot day low-key with a light protein lunch has made my jumps way easier, and down 22 lbs overall so far. That afternoon sluggishness is real but clearing my schedule kills most of it.

#11

7.5 was where things clicked for me too, and I'm still comfortable there at 46 lbs down. The appetite quieting made restaurants stop being a temptation test, which I didn't expect. Hope it stays this easy for you.

#12

Funny how the clothes fitting hits before you're ready for it - I had the same moment digging out old jeans around 20 lbs down on semaglutide. The appetite quieting at 1.7 was what finally made meal planning easy instead of a fight. Enjoy the smooth stretch while it lasts.

#13

7.5 ended up being my landing zone too, and it's wild how a work dinner stopped feeling like a willpower event once the food noise faded. I'm 29 lbs down and just had to buy a whole new belt, so I get the clothes thing. Hope the smooth stretch keeps rolling for you.

#14

7.5 was my stop point too and I never felt the need to push higher. Around the 40 lb mark I went through the same closet purge, had a drawer of stuff I'd written off that suddenly worked again. Glad the food noise is staying quiet for you.

#15

Funny how many of us parked at 7.5, seems like a common sweet spot. I'm 22 lbs down and the same dose finally got me back into jeans I'd shoved to the back of the closet. Side effects have been barely a blip for me too.

#16

7.5 has been my spot as well, no urge to move up and the side effects were mostly the first week only. I'm 33 lbs down and the moment my old ring started spinning on my finger was the payoff I didn't expect. Sounds like we're all riding a similar wave here.

#17

7.5 ended up being my landing spot too, sat there for months without wanting more. The NSV that got me was buckling my seatbelt without it digging in, little things like that add up fast. Congrats on the 18, sounds like the dose is doing exactly what you hoped.

#19

7.5 was where my appetite finally went quiet too, though I'm only 2 lbs in so far so the clothes fitting part is still a ways off for me. Good to hear so many of you parked here long term without side effects, makes the early weeks easier to push through.

#20

Another 7.5 person here, stayed put there through most of a 56 lb drop. One thing I noticed around that dose was my late-night kitchen raids just evaporated, which was my biggest habit problem for years. Sounds like you're right on track.
