Has anyone got down to a really low weight

[delightfuldaisy19]

Just curious about how long they will keep prescribing it.

I'm currently 14st and haven't really set a goal as I just want to be lighter. However 15 years ago, I was 8 stone and had hovered at that weight between the ages of 11 and 35 (give or take half a stone).

Is it an absolute fantasy to think I'll ever be in the realms of 8 stone again?

Following with interest. Would love to hear experiences of people who got down to low weight & if they came off injections, what has ‘maintenance’ looked like for them. And if anyone has excess skin they have considered getting removed.

How low is going to vary depending on height. It’s possible to keep being prescribed for maintenance, so it’s entirely possible. 8 stone when you’re younger will look very different to 8 stone 20 years older.

I guess it depends on the BMI. Oushk / Pharmuous / Cloud are pharmacies who do maintenance and they might be useful to ask?

Depends on your height and build. If your build is slight and you're 5ft tall, 8st is very doable. I'm 5ft9 and broad/large frame and 10st5lb. That's BMI 21 something. I most definitely wouldn't want to weigh 8st! So, you need to know your own goal weight/BMI and then research the maintenance policy of your prescriber

Cloud mentions about a BMI of 22

I'm 5ft 7 and currently 10st which is a BMI of 22 and I'm wearing a size 10 at the moment. I'm on a maintenance dose and hope to lose another half a stone if possible, but if I don't then I'm also happy where I am. I'm on 7.5mg and will have one more pen left on this dose. I may start to titrate down and stay on a lower maintenance dose.
