Not losing fast enough?

Hang in there @Kim1993! I know it's tough when the scale doesn't move. It doesn't always tell the whole story. Maybe take some progress pics too. Sometimes you can see changes even when the scale doesn't budge much.
 
Give your body time to adjust. PCOS can slow things down at first. Protein and managing stress made a huge difference for me, plus keeping carbs reasonable.
 
27 lbs a month at your starting weight is normal for the first 1-2 months, mostly water and glycogen. Real metric is lean muscle — need aggressive protein to keep it. After month 2-3 the loss slows to 1-2 lbs/week, that's the med working right.
 
Minimum works best until tolerance builds, then bump. Speed-titrate and you develop resistance faster which gets pricier long-term. Rapid dropping also feels amazing short-term but your skin can't keep up, worse later.
 
I check that progress graph whenever progress feels slow and I realize I'm actually moving forward day to day. The little ups and downs don't matter, I'm heading the right way.
