Going to start on maintenance soon …and I’m scared!
I’ll start by saying that for some reason, I cannot post in the Zepbound maintenance sub, even though I joined.
I’ve lost 47 pounds in seven months. And I am at my maintenance; actually, I’m a few pounds under it. I am 68 years old and I don’t really want to be any thinner. I think it just won’t look good on me. But I am so afraid to go on a maintenance dose. I’m afraid my weight will start creeping up again and so will the food noise.
My question is, did you go on maintenance by increasing the amount of time between your shots, or did you decrease your dose? I have an appointment early next week with the physician assistant from the weight loss center, and I’m not quite sure what the plan is. I’ve actually been eating a little more and have stayed at the weight I have been at for the past week or two. So that’s why I’m afraid to change anything. And with summer coming up and more events happening, I wonder if I should just stay where I am and make an effort to eat more?
I’d love your opinions and any kinds of stories you care to share.
EDIT: I started at 2.5 for 1 cycle, then went to 5 mg. I’m currently taking 7.5 mg, which I’ve been on for several months, probably over half the time.
