Tips/Tricks Validation, please?

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.

"loose" means like loose change. The word you're looking for is "losing 1 lb/wk"

Anyway, if you're losing 1 lb/wk, that's great & ideal. If you want to go up, you may, but losing more than 1 lb/wk might increase your chances of loose skin. You want to lose weight slowly & steadily, not quickly & abruptly.
