Anyone not lose much until 10mg +

[LeafUsAlone]

Just that really! Anyone?

10mg was the dose I lost the most on. I was plodding along then once I got to 10mg supression really kicked in and i dropped several pounds. Went up to 12.5mg after a while but could barely eat so went back down to 10mg, then down to 7.5mg once i got near my goal. I went back up to 10mg for January to get rid of the last few pounds and christmas gain but have lost a bit more than intended so have dropped down to 7.5 and will keep going down a dose now to find a good maintenance dose.

Ten was my optimal dose that I stayed on for several months, until I hate goal before then titrating down to 5mg for maintenance. I lost consistently throughout though as tn4 drugs don’t make you lose weight, it’s the diet you do when on them.

What do you mean by ‘not losing much’?
Are you not losing anything on the lower doses? Some people don’t find much suppression until they go quite high.

Are you counting calories, changing your diet to high protein, low carb and/or cutting down portion sizes? Or are you still eating what you ate before MJ?

If you’re losing around 1- 2lbs a week, then that’s how it should be.

Thank you @Brightlittlecanary @MrsMiagi

@AldiLidlDeeDee I have lost but not every week and varying amounts. I have changed my diet and am moving more. When I saw my consultant about it they said my losses are slow and to give a higher dose a try. I was trying to get an idea of whether there was likely to be much difference between 7.5 and 10.

I have lost the bulk on 7.5 but after 7 months on it I did notice it wasn't working as well. I've done 3 weeks of 10 and it's definitely working the same way as 7.5 did when I first went on it. So maybe some people get the benefit of a dose longer than others?
I was totally grateful 7.5 worked for so long and I was so fat that I knew I was going to need the 18 months to 2 years to get to goal. As a result I wanted to take it fairly slow and really get to understand how much food I need to sustain a healthy weight.
I am short - I don't need the food that someone taller needs. Sadly 😂
