First raised the question with my physician, and her suggestion landed just below where normal shifts into overweight on the BMI scale. She freely admitted BMI has flaws, but said given my height she'd be thrilled watching me settle around 140, coming down from a starting point in the 180s, with my all-time peak sitting in the low 200s some years back. Kicked this off close to nine months back, ran the smaller amount for the opening two months before moving to 5mg, where I've stayed.
Raised the idea of aiming lower instead, closer to 125-130, and she was on board provided it felt sustainable alongside the habit changes already in motion. Her framing was that the specific number mattered only as far as what it revealed about overall health, labs, blood sugar management, and headspace, real success being wherever I could actually stay long term, given diabetes means this isn't going anywhere for me regardless.
Crossed 130 a couple weeks back and have hovered within a few pounds of it ever since. Right on the edge of that lower target, though also coming to terms with the idea that my body might just want to camp out here instead. Feeling remarkably better across every measure, and honestly a huge piece of this whole ride has been learning to genuinely listen to what my body's signaling, so landing here permanently wouldn't bother me one bit.
