Moving up from 10mg

[millit]

Hi there. I’ve been in MJ on and off for about a year now. I’ve lost weight and am pleased with results but I’ve been on 10 now for a while and I’m not losing much. Admittedly life has got in the way- holidays, big birthdays etc but before I had more suppression so these events were easier to navigate. Am considering moving up and would like to hear from people who have. Thanks so much

I did just after Christmas but weirdly I found it did bugger all. I was less than a stone from goal and hoped it would be the boost I needed but no. I did get sulphur burps and wind though so that was nice.

I actually moved back to 10, continued to loose albeit very slowly. Have lost that stone now so rate of loss has been like 0.5lb a week (generally it’s been 2 weeks of no loss, 2 weeks of losing a lb).

I am titrating down very slowly and reverse dieting and still losing at the same rate. It’s all a bit odd - whether I’m on 12.5, 10 or 8.5, it all seems the same.

It’s normal for weight loss to slow down as you near your goal weight. If you’ve lost a fair bit of weight over the last year, you’ll need to be eating much less than when you started out, to maintain the same level of loss.

Do you count calories and know your current TDEE?

I just feel like the suppression has slowed so yes I’m managing what I eat and watching intake but it’s become a lot harder so that’s why I wondered about going up a dose and if anyone had any insights. Thank you

I went to 12.5 but found it too much supression. I went back down to 10 and really focussed on the basics (steps, sleep, water, nutrition). The last stone then started to come off more easily but it was at a much slower rate
