Seems that I've plateaued at a 30kg loss, sitting around 80kg (ideally, I did want to get down to at least 70kg).

There was an article in the local paper the other day about the 10 most common patient questions about GLP-1 weight-loss drugs.

One was: What happens once I reach my target weight?

This is the conversation I wish happened before people started, not after they finish. Reaching goal weight isn’t the finish line, it’s the point where we typically move to a maintenance dose rather than stopping altogether, because as question one covers, stopping completely usually means significant regain. Think of it the way you’d think of blood pressure medication: the medicine isn’t a failure if it’s still needed to hold the result you’ve worked for.

So is anyone on the maintenance dose and if so, how are you going?

EDIT: Sleeved in 2012 (weight 123kg), lost 60kg. (Tummy tuck 2014, breast reduction/lift 2016). Probably started regaining around 2019, to the point I gained about 40kg. October 2024, started Ozempic, then changed to Wegovy then changed to Mounjaro.

Start weight 107.4kg, currently sitting at 81.2kg. I got down to 75.1kg in February this year.

When is a good time to prune it? I’ve pulled off what’s left as they were still green and doing nothing, except shrivel up.

How hard should I go?

If anyone has a hotel voucher that they aren't going to use, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

Unfortunately, I have nothing to swap as I don't get wine :`(

Much appreciated if you can help.

I need some home office suggestions. I've never been to the Springvale store, but from what I read, it has larger display room set ups compared to Richmond.

If that's the case, am I better off going to Springvale for home office suggestions or there really is no size difference in displays.

Apart from Salamanca, what other markets are worth checking out? Visiting Melbourne Cup “long” weekend.

Must be accessible by walking or public transport.

Staying at Travelodge.

I have been tracking my weight since initially commencing Ozempic (Oct 24), before changing to Wegovy. Lowest weight was 6.2.26. I commenced Mounjaro 2.5mg (Feb 26) and I have remained on this dose. To go up to 5mg, I'm looking at $390 (vs $280 for 2.5mg).

Has anyone else had more success after dose increase?

Good morning,

Requesting a hotel voucher if anyone has one that they're not going to use.

Unfortunately I have nothing to swap :'(

It would be very much appreciated.

Can I use the domestic business lounge at MEL?

Ice cream $8.50 and pie $22.

Ice cream was in the freezer and very soft. I had to ask for the pie as they didn’t even out in shelf. I died when he said $22. There was no price tag and I think a lot of people may think twice.

Better be worth it.

Tried the ice cream and might be better when frozen but at the moment, I wouldn’t rave on about it.

Lobster Shack in Bicheno is a wee bit too far, so where in Hobart is my next best option?

Edit: Best not bear!

…or going anytime soon? I need a massive favour to please buy perfume from Chemist Warehouse (it’s significantly cheaper than duty free).

https://www.chemistwarehouse.co.nz/buy/108406/estee-lauder-beautiful-magnolia-eau-de-parfum-100ml. Converts to $106AUD vs $192 at Melbourne Airport Duty Free.

Many thanks in advance if you can help.

Hit me up with the best steak in Hobart. I don’t want super exxy and I don’t want too cheap either…somewhere in the middle.

DJing at Upstairs at the Bunker tomorrow night (Fri 15/5)…what are my chances of actually getting in to the venue now that word is out?! LOL.

1. I assume I can take a jar or two back to Australia and

2. Is one better than the other, brand wise, or much the same?

Now I know what y’all were on about…I only heard five minutes and it was doing my head in.

Travelling alone so eating on a budget BUT on my last night, because I’ve been craving a steak, who does a damn good steak, but one that still does not break the bank?
