Re-starting after 4 week break

ETA it's 3 weeks since last dose, not 4.

I've been on mj since March last year, have lost over 100lbs, still have 3st to get to 'overweight' BMI. I was taking 10, but accidentally missed a week, then thought fuck it, I'll try without. I'm back to having a rumbling tummy 1.5 hours after eating a meal and the food noise is deafening.

Have you had a short break? Did you go all the way back to 2.5 and increase monthly or try to wing it a bit and move up more quickly.

I'm aware of the official advice, but I'm looking for real-life experiences.

I’m also interested in this. I have had a six-week break due to the cost increase. I’d like to go back on it now but want to go straight back to 7.5 as the 2.5 and 5 did very little for me before. Following to see the comments.

Ok, so it appears to be only you and me at this sort of stage - I'm going with a rather conservative 3 and will add a bit more in 5 days if nothing too untowards happens. I'll let you know ...

Morning I had a two month break to try to stabilise my eating naturally which I did for a short period but as I had a 15 pen left I went back in and used that. I was fine even with the break. Will see what the next chapter brings as it’s a bit out of my price range at the moment
