Contemplating restarting

Interested in experiences of those who have restarted MJ after a break.

I stopped end of August mainly due to price rise and I'd reached a BMI of 24.6. I've only put on 4lb since so reasonably happy but BMI is obviously over 25 now. I know I will never put substantial weight on again as I won't let myself but I wish I'd got lower.

I know I'll have to restart at 2.5mg and tbh, cost wise, don't want to go above that. Am concerned about the Christmas effect.

What have others done after a break? Was the starting dose effective for you, as it had been before? I only went to 7.5mg (2.5mg months, 5mg 3 months, 7.5mg 1 month) and was on MJ for a total of 6 months.

I've re- started twice. I found the 2nd time round, was so different for me.
The first time I went off alcohol, never wanted any snacks, massive food suppression.
Second time - Alcohol absolutely fine and snacks. Did have some suppression.
I'm now on my third time and i'm 2 weeks in and have only lost 1lb and I'm so hungry still and drinking alcohol like I would have pre jabs.
I know thats a choice i'm making re alcohol - but I'm just saying that with my first set of jabs, the thought of alcohol wasn't there at all.
I ordered a 2.5mg pen as thats all I was allowed but I've taken 3.75mg out of it and I may take 5mg when I next inject.
I'll be allowed to order the 5mg when this runs out.

@MamaorBruh How far apart have you re-started, and did you gain back up to BMI 30 each time or were you allowed to re-start on a lower BMI?
