Anyone got to and maintained weight loss on the lowest Wegovy dose long term?

I’ve been on Wegovy 0.25 for 5 months now, I’m 3/4 pounds from maintenance and just wondering if anyone else has advice or has had a similar experience of staying on the lowest dose to maintenance. How did u manage maintenance? Leave longer between injections or count click to a lower dose more frequently etc.. just wondering what has worked for ppl. I do think if I stopped completely I’d put the weight back on so for the moment I’m happy to stay taking it I’m just trying to figure out what that looks like

I have a work mate who has lost a lot of weight on the jabs, she now maintains by taking the jab when she starts to feel hungry, so she goes longer between.

I got to goal on 0.25mg Wegovy.

it’s early stages of maintenance for me (about 6-8 weeks) but I’ve been taking half the lowest Wegovy from the pen by click counting. So microdosing with 0.13mg.

How much weight have you lost in that time?

I think maintenance will be a different process for those who have lost over 5 stones on the drugs compared to users who have only needed to lose a small amount of weight, as their fat cells won’t have disappeared and their body will still be adjusting to the new size.

Click counting down to a lower dose over a period of time and then leaving longer between doses once you’re at a very low level seems to work well.

Thanks everyone
@BobbleBear @OnTheTop @PersephoneParlormaid for your advice

@OnTheTop do u still just do that once a week is it?
I know I’ll prob just find what works as I go but was interested to see what’s worked for others

I’ve lost 33 pounds in about 23 weeks so been about 1 to 1.5 pounds a week, still have a few pounds to go but I suppose it’ll be 2.5- 3 stone altogether (mightn’t seem big to some but a huge difference for me 🥰)

thanks again for ur help

@JumpingJacks11yes, jabbing once a week and it’s working well for me at the moment.
