I've been using 0.5mg for a year and a half now and I've dropped about 70 pounds.

I saw results pretty quickly but I was also watching my food intake and getting my steps in!

I've lost around 30lb combined on .25 and .5 dosages.

I've been on this since January. Did .25 for a month, moved to .5, and I've lost 110 pounds.

Okay, that's great to hear! I don't really want to go to 1.0 if I don't have to. Here's where I'm at:
- 0.25 for a month
- 0.50 since then
- Lost: 55 lbs
- To go: 25 lbs
- Goal: 80 lbs
- Time on med: 36 weeks
- Time to goal: 16 weeks?
I'm planning on going back down to 0.25 when I hit my goal.

I lost about 30 lbs on 0.5mg because my insurance wasn’t covering it at the time, so I split the dose to save money (this was 3 years ago).

I've only been taking .20-.25mg, and I've lost 30lbs over the past year...

Yep. I began losing weight at 0.25 and 0.5 without issue.
My A1c improved a little on the lower doses, but I didn't really see the pounds drop until I got to 1-2mg. The last time I was tested, my A1c levels were normal for the first time in a decade. If I can just lose another 10 pounds, my BMI will be in the normal range for the first time in probably 20 years.

I lost around 30 pounds between .25 and .5. Now that I’m at 1mg, though, my weight loss has come to a full stop. It's frustrating!

That's amazing, not-today-scale!
Maybe you should go back down to .5?not-today-scale said:

I'm definitely finding I need to watch my portions more!
That's awesome! I'm hoping to get there eventually.Shannon_04 said:

It's been five months for me, and I feel great! My doc wants to bump me up to 5, which sounds good since the food noise is coming back a little on 2.5. Anyone else experience that?
