Ten weeks in. I had steady losses of 1 a week to start with but randomly this week I have lost 5lbs.

Over ten weeks I have lost 21 lbs but I am very overweight really. Start weight 15,7 I'm 14 today. I am on 15mg.

Seems like a sensible to pace to me, yes the 5 may have been a shock but sometimes you will have a suddenly drop, might mean less next week. The average is only about 2lb per week which is really good.

That's a 2.1lb average so no, not fast. I too either plateau or drop 1lb then have a whoosh and see a lot off in one week.
I started same weight as you and now 2 stone down in 5 months. I'm still on 5mg

How did you get to 15mg so quickly? After 10 weeks you should only be on 7.5mg?

This, why are you on 15mg?!

I've been on this over a year and still only on 10mg

Perfectly healthy weight loss rate , almost text book. But wondering how you got prescribed 15mg

Oh gosh sorry dyslexic! I'm on 5mg and no intention to go up. I get a rash at injection site and feel mildly sick on 5mg. I will edit

I can't edit it for some reason. Weird. My third pen is 7.5mg but I decided not to move 5mg after I ordered it. I will only go up again if it stops working and I don't really want to get weight below 12 stone as although it's my upper bmi or just over, I know I can easily maintain there. But never say never I guess
