Is there a maintenance thread?

[AprilMadness]

I've lost 3 stone and am happy with the weight and BMI that I am now.

I have 2 doses plus golden dose left on my pen and don't know what to dose myself to keep in maintenance.

This is my first (and last) month of 12.5mg.

Any suggestions?

This seems to be the longest maintenance thread but I’m not sure if it’s just about suppliers. I’m sure there will be quite a few already at maintenance on there though for advice

Just an update, mostly for myself really as a diary of how I'm maintaining.

So after 4 weeks of no injections I took a 0.5 dose. 10 days later and I've lost the 3lb I put on and the craving for chocolate first thing in the morning have disappeared again.

I think it "cures" my insulin levels although I'm not insulin resistant. But def curbs my craving for something sweet when I wake up.

I intend to take another 0.5 on Saturday which will be a 2 week gap.

Although if I don't feel I need it will leave it longer than 2 weeks.

I am 9 stone 6 and 5 foot 6 and a healthy 21 BMI

Just make sure you're with a provider that supports maintenance, so you can either keep buying pens with them or restart within 12 months if you're gaining weight, some pharmacies cut you off and won't prescribe until you're obese again.

This is something I'm really passionate about because I've got insulin resistance and gained all the weight back after a diet before. I never want to do that again.

Think it's Livewell, Oushk, Pharmulous, Swift Doctor.

I'm with Livewell and they've been fantastic with me, you can call and talk to a pharmacist, it's brilliant.
