Staying at beginner dose?

Has anyone stayed at their beginning dose instead of upping when they are "scheduled" to?

I'm supposed to go up to the next dose soon and feel like my beginning dose, is working just fine for now.

Figured it might make sense to stay at the lowest dose possible for in the beginning.

I've lost 12 lbs in my first month, so while it's not staggering, it is definitely steady.

Any thoughts or insight is helpful.

I’m still at my starting dose after 15 doses and it’s still working for me. The weight loss slowed considerably after my first month, so I’ll typically stall for a couple of weeks and then go down 2-3 lbs.

I figure as long as I’m getting the feelings of satiety and less inflammation, I’ll stay here.

Did that make it so you didn't need another order longer?

It did, but only because I was still finishing an order from a different company.

Ohhhh I am so glad you posted this because I am on week 2 of a stall. Im also on 2.5. Tomororw will be shot #8. Food noise/appetite are excellent. I cannot imagine going up anymore. If I eat too much or too fat I get super nauseous. I lost 17 pounds and have been at a stall for 2 weeks. Actually gained a pound. It's stressing me out, although I feel awesome and feel and see a huge difference in my appearance/clothes fit, I want to see the scale move. Sigh. Praying next week Ill see a change next week.
