Hit my goal a year later!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
50 lbs from December and 4 from goal at 8mg is such a clean progression. The slow build from 2mg was worth it to know how your body handles each level. Almost at 180 is so close - what's next for you after hitting goal?
 
2.5 years in and holding at 2mg maintenance after reaching max is the long-game version of this. The OP's year mark picking up 2.4 after the dose story with the doctor is still in the early chapters of what the full run looks like. Most people who get there find the maintenance dose lower than what got them there - did you need to stay at 2mg or could you go lower?
 
Cautious titration working and now asking what's next is the right question at the 15mg ceiling. There's the maintain-and-watch approach or exploring whether adding a different mechanism adds anything at this point. What does the goal look like from here - just maintaining, or more to go?
 
Huge congratulations, you've clearly been through so much. Try steering your inner voice toward kinder thoughts, tough some days but don't let outside noise get to you. Wild how fast you got here too!

What dose did you end up reaching?
 
Huge congratulations, genuinely impressive milestone. My two cents, echoing others, ease the dose down gradually rather than stretching the time between shots at the same time.

Take it slow.
 
Held at 2.5 for ten weeks. Only bumped to 5 after nearly a month of no movement. Stayed on 5mg for seventeen weeks after that. Things went well until the final month at that level. Now at 7.5. The step up went smoothly, likely because of staying on each amount well past the usual four-week minimum. Definitely recommend this pace for stretching how long the meds keep working before hitting the higher doses too fast, plus it makes for a slower, steadier kind of loss.
 
Final dose lands at 2.4, but the climb takes four months, and for lots of people real weight loss begins around 1.7. Credit the slow ramp, four weeks between steps, for how well you handled side effects. Sounds like things are going great! Keep it up!
 
I spent a month at 2.5mg, then went to 5mg and stayed for 20 weeks, then 7.5mg, where I've stayed. One third of my body weight is gone, and I reached my goal ten days back.
 
Just a month at .25 for me, then a bump every 3-4 months. Currently 2.4, and the 4th month there has just begun, with around 10lbs to go before goal. My doc said stay at any given dose until the loss clearly slows or halts.
