Worried that Asda will stop prescribing

I have just started my first pen, bought from Asda. I am 12st 4, BMI 30, and want to lose nearly 3 stone to get to 9st 7 (I am 5'3). My bmi would be 23.7. Reading the threads, I'm worried that Asda will stop prescribing when I reach a "healthy" BMI of perhaps 26, which would be 10st 7, a full stone over my target weight. Anyone else with Asda who can advise? I prefer to stick with them as I can collect from pharmacy, but am wondering if I should switch sooner rather than later? I know that 9st 7 is a good weight for me as I've been there before.

They'll prescribe till you are a healthy bmi which would be 25 or less, so they would prescribe at 26 I would have thought. You could also think about timing when you order what would be your last pen, so that your 4 doses would take you below a bmi of 25.

A lot of prescribers now say they will support for up to 2 years after you reach a healthy BMI, so probably worth having a look around.

I'm with MedExpress and they support maintenance. (You get £40 off your first order if you use discount code; they price match also).
Oushk is another place that is like super progressive around maintenance - they have a 3 tier plan, you can switch over to them at any point though.
