What to do now I’m at goal

I’m at goal weight which is just unbelievable, and I’m thrilled. But now I’m anxious about what is best to do.
Ive lost over 3 stone, and back in a healthy bmi for the first time in years and years. Its a strange feeling.
im on 5mg.
I dont know whether its better to stabilise and stick on this dose and up calories for a few months then think about titrating down. Or just titrate down to 2.5 then come off and try alone.

I do want to eventually come off, but not sure I’m ready to right now.

what are you doing?

I too got to goal weight on 5. Have been titrating for about a month. Currently maintaining at about 3.25 so decided to stay around there. I have no interest in coming off entirely.

Hi, I never went above 2.5mg. I’ve been maintaining for the last 6 week with no jabs. I tried to really focus on the positive changes I made to my diet whilst on it and keep those up. The only changes I have made is to reintroduce breakfast (that I had skipped whilst using MJ) and the odd treat at weekends. Give or take the odd pound im maintaining well for now and for the first time ever I feel confident keeping it off.

Not sure which one you are on but it’s actually often 42 days not 30.

couldn’t be bothered typing it out so cut and pasted here:,

The confusion between 30 daysand 42 days usually comes down to the specific brand of medication or different regulatory guidelines in different countries. For Wegovy(semaglutide) specifically, the official manufacturer and regulatory guidance (such as from the MHRA in the UK) state it is stable for 42 days (6 weeks) once opened or removed from the fridge.

Here is why you might be seeing "30 days" instead:

  • Confusion with Mounjaro: The other major weight loss injection, Mounjaro (tirzepatide), has a shorter "in-use" window of 30 days. Because they are often prescribed for the same purpose, the rules for one are frequently misapplied to the other.
  • Older or Stricter Guidelines:Some pharmacies or older medical resources use a "blanket" 28-day or 30-day rule for many injectable medications to be extra cautious.
  • Regional Differences: In some regions or for specific pen types (like the single-dose pens used in the US versus the multi-dose FlexTouch pens in the UK), the guidance can vary slightly, though 42 days is the standard for the Wegovy FlexTouch pen.
  • Safety Buffer: Your doctor or pharmacist might suggest 30 days as a "safety buffer" to ensure you don't accidentally push the limit of the medication's stability.
