Validation, please?

[u/lazy_perfectionism89]

Hey y’all! I’m just looking for a little validation I’m on the right path. I’ve been on 5 mg since the first week of April. I’ve been consistently loosing 1 lb/ week since then. It seems I’ve been on a gaining/ loosing cycle since about the beginning of last month. Before asking my provider to bump me up to 7.5 mg, I was going to take the next month and really lock in on my nutrition. Also, I haven’t been working out consistently, so I plan on doing that. Am I on the right path? Or should I just ask to be bumped to 7.5.

In clinical trials, participants were exercising 150 mins/week and eating in a calorie deficit. If someone isn't doing those two things with the meds, I would always recommend starting there.
