I agree with [USER=2018]H-Town_Hottie[/USER], don't quit if you don't need to. I've been on a maintenance dose for about a year and a half now.

From 162 to 141 at 5'1 is real visible change. You're almost halfway to your goal.

21 pounds toward 120 is solid progress. At that height the final stretch tends to move slower - body composition becomes more relevant than the raw number. Protein and resistance training are the main levers when the scale starts to flatten.

The early fluctuation normalizes for most people around week 4-6.

162 to 141 with 20 more to goal is the first chapter closing - the clothing changes tend to outpace the scale in what they actually show.

20 lbs down at 5'1 is visible. The before/after posts are the ones that actually help people who are still at the starting line.

Pre-labeled nutrition per meal removes the calculation - useful for hitting protein targets when appetite is variable.

162 to 141 with the food thoughts quiet is the core change that makes the scale move sustainable.

50 lbs since December and eating what you want within a healthy framework is the freedom the medication is supposed to give you - the appetite correction does the work so the diet doesn't have to be punishing. The OP at 20 lbs toward 120 is earlier in that same journey. 2.5 years in and still working for you is reassuring for someone just getting started.
