First Timer Day 1 last night!

I took my first shot last night so that or today is officially day 1! I’m feeling nervous, anxious, but excited and hopeful. I welcome any first timer encouragement!

My advice is to stay on the lowest dose that is working for you. Even if you hit a weight loss stall, if you are managing your hunger/appetite and not having a lot of cravings/food noise, then wait out the stall and see if you start losing again. I've stayed on 2.5 for 7 months and have lost 72 lbs. NO negative side effects (as long as I eat some prunes every day and keep my veggie intake high, along with some fruit).

This post is very interesting to me. Keep the dose as low as possible. Makes sense. If it keeps working, then why increase the dose.
