57 and 70+ lbs lighter!

hanging at 7.5. no side effects even going up in dose makes me wonder if it's working. i hate diarrhea but when i got it, i knew something was happening. gotta be more patient. expected steady loss, got stuck 2 weeks, that threw me off.

The percentages-over-pounds tracking is the right mental model for the long run - absolute pounds per week shrinks as bodyweight drops, but percentage loss stays relatively steady if the protocol holds. Starting at 222 in Sept 2023 and still going at 57 is the compounded return on the early decision to start.

55 lbs naturally before starting and then adding the medication from 385 is a very different starting advantage than most people have. At 2mg with diet and exercise already solid, the medication is filling in the appetite piece that was harder to maintain alone. How is the rate holding up and is there room to go higher if it plateaus?
