Not much movement on the scale but dropping dress sizes

started on the 1st of jan at 86kg after the first month of 2.5mg i went down to 77 then i had 5mg which i have just finished. i’m down to 75 so essentially only lost 2kg in the last month.
The side effect is still quite strong but im able to maintain a healthy (ish) diet as i don’t have full suppression.
I don’t want to go up a dose as the side effects (feeling cold, tiredness) is still very much present but wondering if this is it for now in terms of my loss.
What i find strange thought is that i seem to be dropping dress sizes but not much movement on the scale??
Any advice

Is the good old muscle weighs more than fat?

Are you taking your measurements to see if how are changing?
Weight is not the be all and end all.

Dropping dress sizes (and visibly seeing a difference there) sounds like you are winning!

I’m not sure what that tells me about muscle vs fat loss?

is it that it may just be water and nothing else. How can it not show up on the scale??

You've lost about 13% of your starting weight, 11kg or about 24 pounds. That's not what I'd call "not much movement" on the scales in 8 weeks. An average of 3 pounds a week lost is a decent rate of loss.

I think you've lost a huge amount of weight!

I agree it is a lot @SallyWD my question was more aimed at those who have gone through similar and can tell me if this is how it normally goes or slows down or i’m reaching my limit to weight loss
