Staying on 2.5mg - anyone else?

I’m on week 7 of 2.5mg : I am losing 0.5 - 1kg every week so have stayed on that dose. Anyone else? After 7 weeks I am 6kg down (almost a stone).

I’m wondering if anyone else has just sat on the starter dose and if so for how long?

I haven’t gone up a dose as I didn’t want to lose weight any faster and risk gall stones etc.

Oh wow, I first posted on this thread back in April when I had lost 4 stone at just over 20 weeks on 2.5mg. I have now lost over 7 stone and done nearly a year, still on 2.5mg with no intention to move up. It’s been life changing for me and I can eat so much more now than I could in the early weeks, months even, but I’m still losing weight. It’s slowed to around a pound a week now but that’s perfect for me at this stage.

Awesome! 🙌
