Coming off MJ

[Sleepyquest]

Has anyone come off MJ and successfully maintained their weight? I've been on since April and looking to come off soon but all I'm seeing on TikTok is people saying they are gaining weight and really struggling!

I’m following this cos I’ve taken my last dose. My plan is to calorie count very strictly and figure out how much I can eat without putting on weight.

@Hildabaggins keep us posted!

I would work on the assumption that 99.9% of what is on TikTok is fiction, and I'm probably being too generous with that. People want attention on platforms like that so their "stories" have to have ups and downs for continued interest.

There are a couple of threads about maintenance in this section, I should imagine they'll get more popular as more people reach target and want to chat about it.

How are you planning to come off? I follow someone in the US who came off gradually and she’s doing well maintaining

Yes. I've been off it for 5 weeks now and have maintained.
There's been a slight increase in hunger, but I got into such a good regime (with eating and exercise) that I've just continued with that.
Feeling very positive about it all!

That's great news @LionAndEmperor13 !!

@SurreyisSunny I was going to seek advice from my provider but assumed I would slowly decrease my dose and/or increase the intervals of which I take it!

I am on week 17 and am 9lbs away from my target. I have stayed on 5mg and do feel hunger for meals and am usually very hungry in the morning.

I hope this means I will be okay when I eventually stop! Although I would like to stay on for as long as possible.
