Halfway to my goal!

The 185-190 with muscle target is the right way to frame goal weight rather than a pure scale number - what you look and feel like at a given weight depends on body composition. The risk management around not pushing heavy as you age is smart; resistance work at moderate intensity rather than maximum load is the framework.

Worth remembering, packing on muscle tacks on weight too, which could skew how the scale reads your progress. Give any dose a solid month before judging it, your body needs time to adjust. Currently running 8mg myself with barely any side effects beyond just staying pretty full most of the time. Keep pushing forward, you're doing great.

Kicked things off back in December 2023. Standing at 5ft1 and currently 110lbs. Total loss sits at 130 lbs. Hate admitting this, but staying at this weight means I'll likely need at least a monthly dose indefinitely. Weigh in weekly just to keep myself between 110-115. Go past three weeks without it and the number starts climbing again. Hit my target roughly half a year back. I know full well that stopping could mean regaining everything within a year. Come too far to turn back now, and honestly cringe thinking about the small fortune spent getting here. Been running 15mg for a full year at this point.

Wonderful, really appreciate this! Sticking with 15mg then. Suspect I'm eating more calories now than I was 30kg back, which explains the slowdown. Going to recalculate everything and get back into the gym!
