You're setting a great example for the rest of us. Proud of you for not quitting.
Holding at 7.5mg of tirzepatide - when did you climb?
I sat on my 1mg dose of Wegovy for a good stretch too, only moved when the food noise started creeping back in around month four. If 7.5 is still keeping you satisfied, staying put seems like the smarter play - the higher doses will still be there when you actually need them.
I sat at 7.5 way longer than I expected to - hunger only crept back after about three quiet months, so I finally moved up and it was smooth sailing. Down 23 lbs doing it that way, and honestly no regrets about milking the lower dose first. No real appetite surge on 10 for me, just steadier suppression.
I stayed on 7.5 for almost four months myself and only climbed when the cravings started sneaking back on weekends. Six pounds down so far feels slow, but milking a dose that still works beat chasing numbers for me.
I lingered on 7.5 too and only bumped up once weekend hunger started making a comeback, which took a few months. Even then the jump felt mild, appetite stayed pretty quiet. Down 29 lbs milking doses like this, so no rush from my end.
