7 week journey checkin!

Week 7 and 5 lbs is tough when you see the OP at 28. 5 lbs is still real and the dose is still building at week 7. What dose are you on and has anything changed with appetite compared to the first couple of weeks?

Week 4 at 2 lbs is not a failure - it's the adjustment window where the medication is still settling in. Most of the big early drops from other people's stories are water weight in the first couple of weeks. The actual fat loss trajectory shows up later. Give it more time at the current dose before drawing any conclusions.

The food noise going quiet so fast in week 2 is a really encouraging early signal. Protein intake early on matters more than most people expect - the medication drops appetite so much that getting adequate protein without tracking it can be harder than it sounds. You're clearly on a good trajectory at 7 weeks.
