I have approx 6kgs to go to get to healthy bmi and 8kgs to get to my aspirational goal. I have taken this slowly, not been above a 5mg pen and dose of 4.25 (which gave some side effects so went back to 3.75). I always use bonus dose.

I have had a mini break over Christmas (please don't judge me on this!) and have a 5mg pen in the fridge ready to restart probably today. I do 16/8 IF and low carb.

My question is what was your weight loss on your last pen and what did your bmi go from and to? I know we're all different but I'm wondering if I can make do with this last pen or if I should just buy another 5mg. I think I know the answer (given the slow in loss at the end) but haven't seen threads on that last pen/weight loss push so thought it would be interesting.

If you’re thinking you can lose 6kg, which is what a stone, in four weeks, that wouldn’t be classed as slow really. It’s achievable, but you’d need to significantly under eat your tdee. I’d go for another pen,

It would be over 5 weeks with the extra dose but it's still tough at 1.2kg a week. I think I do need to give myself a choice by getting another pen before it's too late.

If you can afford it , you might as well order 1 more. Just in case you stop and then decide you need 1 more but you are no longer eligible to order. Unless you are with supplier that supports maintenance and let's you reorder later on.

I've just ordered 1 more for 6lbs

I think you should reorder one more pen.
I’ve been a sort of fast loser from the beginning and I’m currently 7kg to goal but giving myself 8 weeks to get there (I have 3 weeks on current pen and 5 weeks on a new pen) and I’m still being realistic that I may not lose it all in that time so may get one more pen.
