If you're already at goal weight at 53, I wouldn't raise the dose. Just eat better - let the medication keep burning fat. You're done losing, now it's on you to maintain. I'm 61, hit my goal, and switched to peptides for muscle instead of more weight loss.
Started semaglutide end of January and dropped about 20 pounds already. Not taking progress pics which sucks, feels like there's a difference but then I look and still think I look the same. At least progress is progress, even if it doesn't feel like much.
No, that isn't standard at all. The norm is four weeks per dose, then doubling if tolerated. With good loss it's fine to stay put until a plateau, but guidelines don't back that. By the start of month four you should've reached 2 mg. People respond differently, and 7.2 mg is actually approved for weight loss. Semaglutide is what I use for blood glucose and at 1.5 mg it does nothing for my weight.
