Plans for when you hit your goal weight

[LolaLouise]

Hi all. Im very close to my target, starting weight was 15st, current weight is 9st6, my goal is 9st although i do have some belly fat still so i may go a little lower. Ive been taking MJ since first week of october, and im up to 12.5mg. But im wondering what people are doing after? Im not planning on immediately cold turkey'ing it. My current plan is to drop every 2 weeks to 5 mg and then stay on that for a few months, I can go back up as needed if 5mg is too low. Then after a few months of 5mg go to 2.5mg then come off. But im wondering if anyone has used a titration plan and been successful. Or have seen any plans thatthey are planning to follow. Thanks.

I don’t know but am following with interest as kinda in the same boat as in I’ve reached my goal weight (although I never went higher than 2.5mg).

I’m on 10mg and nearly at goal weight too. Not sure what to do. I sometimes go over 7 days & can feel the hunger returning. So not sure what to do either. I’ll maybe try your plan to drop down a bit. I’d like to change suppliers too to save money but I’m now bmi 25 so not sure they’d give me it?

@brusselsprout5 Pharmulous, Oushk and (I think!) Simple Online will all take you on with a 25bmi

@LolaLouise Ha! We are practically twins! 😁 I’m currently 9st 9 and have been aiming for 9st although have recently dropped it to 8st 12 as I really want to hit the 8st loss mark😂 No, really because I too have some belly fat - legs and bum need size 10 jeans but the belly demands 12s!

I am currently on 10mg and have 2 shots left in the current pen. This week, I have got a new 10 and then plan to use the 7.5 in my fridge. I think I would like to do 2 months on 7.5 in the hope of learning how to stabilise my weight (still can’t believe this is happening tbh!!) and then would like to drop to 5mg and stay there long term.

I do accept that I may need to move back up, however, as I cannot bear the recurrence of food noise and the battle inside my brain!! I know I will need to stay on the meds for ever in whatever form they take in the future.

Well done on your amazing loss!

I’m planning to stay on it for at least two years, which is what my GP recommends, and hopefully forever. I know this often isn’t what people want to hear, because at the moment it’s expensive.

I've been overweight practically my entire life - I think I will need to be on it long term.

Another who has been overweight all their adult life, so I think I will titrate down to maintain and stay on it long term.

I I agine I will be on it for life. I moved to Oushk at 30 BMI so I could do maintenance with them and be ause they were cheaper then my previous supplier

@IReallyNeedThisToWork@LolaLouisebear I. Mind if you have lost a lot of weight you will have loose skin on your belly and that’s a separate thing from belly fat. You can keep trying to lose it but if it’s loose skin all that happy is you lose it from everywhere and just end up with more loose skin that looks like belly fat

Thanks for the replies, i too have been overweight since childhood, and plan to stay on it as long as i can, but also, i want to see if i can do it without it. I will continue to order even at maintenance as they will cut you off if you stop for over a certain amount of weeks.

@springbringshope its definitely fat not skin, i have some loose skin, but the pouches i have are 100% fatty areas still. I have discovered since losing so much, despite arguing i was big framed, actually, my frame is very small, my wrists and ankles are really small, so going under 9 isnt a concern. At 9st6 in still needing size 12 like @IReallyNeedThisToWork, and my bidyaft % is still higher than ideal, because i have a small frame.

You are similar to me OP in that my current weight is 9stone 6 and my goal is 8 stone 12 (it's only.not 9stone because I weigh naked in the morning etc and want to be no more than 9stone fully clothed in the afternoon!!)

My plan for when I reach goal is to go shopping and get a haircut!!!

But seriously,.I think Ill do the same as you and drop down the doses. At 2.5mg I might start spacing them out a bit before I stop though...
