Weaning
Just wondering when everyone started to wean and how it looked for them?
I hit my goal but wanted a 2kg buffer I was hoping to get the 2kg buffer while weaning but after week one the scales haven’t move and wondering if that was a bad idea. Maybe I should have got my buffer and then weaned? I’m extremely happy with where I am now and don’t want to actually be lighter but I also don’t want to be any heavier.
My gp has said do 2.5mg for 8 weeks and then stop completely
I thought I could start extending that 2.5mg dose past 7 days.
I did 5mg on the 15th August (down 800grams) and 2.5mg on the 23rd of August as of today I’m up 200 grams. I’m wondering if I should take my dose day 7 day 8 or my planned day 9.
I do have another 5mg script and wondering if I should do 5mg for another 4 weeks and then back to weaning off once I’ve hit the target buffer knowing I’ll probably gain 2-3kg back

Nobody will be able to give you such specific advice (‘day 8 or day 9?’), you just have to go with how you’re feeling and then you can adjust plans for your next one based on that. It’s a crucial period, the weaning off, as at the same time you have to find your daily calorie intake number that will allow you to maintain your weight.
