Bit of a nervous post. In February I weighed 83.5 kg and today, in September, it is 62.5 kg, about 21 kg in seven months, and my BMI went from roughly 31 to 23.5. For most of it my dose was 2.5 mg. My endocrinologist tried 5 mg for a short time but the fatigue and stomach side effects were too much, so I went back down. Alongside that I did about four hours of strength training a week and walks of around 3 km on other days, with protein high to protect muscle. My goal was 65 kg, my doctor pushed it to 61, and now he says stop the medication entirely, nothing left as maintenance. I injected the last 2.5 mg yesterday. Honestly I'm scared, because the medication made cravings easy. For those who stopped at goal: did the hunger come back, how fast, could you hold your weight without staying on a small dose, and what strategies helped?
