3 days in only lost 1lb. I know it’s only 3 days🤣I’ve actually woken up hungry this morning..once on correct dose does the hunger completely go? Or is it normal to still feel hunger a few times a day? Usually I’d be starving for breakfast as soon as I opened my eyes so it’s improved a little!

@alecks, it's nice to hear about people managing long-term on a low dose. I've done three months so far on 2.5mg and am hoping to be able to stay on that dose as long as possible. I'm getting plenty of hunger and occasional snackiness, but am still consistently losing quite a lot of weight, so fingers crossed that I'll be able to carry on for another few months.

That’s exactly my experience. I don’t mind the hunger as I feel these hunger cues are normal, whereas pre MJ I never felt hungry as I ate so much! I am able to eat a snack now whereas in the early days I never could. I don’t have one every day, I don’t think about it all the time and most importantly I only eat ONE! I think it’s a good balance, and I’m still losing weight, albeit much slower than a few months ago, I’m happy with that

7lb, but I think most people who lose a lot in the first week have inflammation, it's normal to lose 1 to 2lb per week thereafter to be sustainable.

12lb but I was 18 stone so had a good bit to lose.

Give it time and it should work, remember it is better to lose slowly to avoid gastric issues / loose skin / losing muscle tone.

i lost 8lbs the first week but I had 9 stones to loose. I’ve lost 6 stones so far but my weight loss is crawled to a snails pace just later. But a loss is a loss op.
