Almost at my goal!

260 to 195 is such a transformation!! The body finding a plateau at a healthier weight is actually what the medication is designed to do - it's working. If you're 5 lbs from the original target and already thinking about moving the goalposts, that's such a great sign. Keep going!!

The scale not moving while shape is changing is one of the more disorienting stretches. At 5'2" the body is redistributing even when the number holds, and the stomach area is usually the last place it shows up visually. The 166 to 161 jump you're describing is almost always happening in ways you can see before the scale catches up.

Maxed at 5 and then stepped back to 2.5 for maintenance is a really clean approach. Stretching the interval is a smart next step - going from weekly to 10-day spacing is more forgiving than jumping straight to every 2 weeks. See how the hunger signals shift before you push the interval further.
