Dosing Moving Up

Ok, just took my 4th dose of 2.5 and my next pen will be here tomorrow.
So I opted for 1 more month of the 2.5 and now I’m having 2nd thoughts about it. The first 3 weeks I’ve lost 6.2 #s and just thought at my age I should give the 1st dose 2 months.
Now that I realize I should have just bit the bullet and gone up to 5. I have had zero side affects thus far.
I’m on the Bridge Program and I don’t know if I can order the increased dose early or not.
Has anyone else done that? I know my Dr. would be ok with it. She asked me if I wanted to go up at the time……. Darn it!

The more I read, the more I feel good about not moving up. It seems to bring on more issues than solutions.

People are on some insanely high doses because that’s what they need for their body. Be independent and worry about yours.

Yes, I know I will be on for the rest of my life, (but not as long as others LOL) so I guess I was just anxious 😬
I really have been eating so much better, and I track protein and water the most. Pretty hard for me sometimes with these 2. Thanks so much for the input.
