Met my goal 3 months ago…..

however, I’m still on 7.5 mg weekly (the dose I’ve been on for most of my journey). The PA dropped me to every 10 days, and I was ravenous the last 3 days. So I was switched back to weekly. I feel good on it. I have lost 50 pounds, and have been staying between 124 & 125 pounds consistently. The weird thing is, I don’t really count calories anymore. I eat what I want, but at the same time, I’m still aware of what I’m eating. I’m amazed I’m not gaining weight. Does your body just know when you’re where you should be? I definitely do not want to lose any more weight. But I’m afraid of decreasing my dose or being off of Zepbound totally. Has anyone remained on their normal dose for maintenance?

Carrier for baby for active grandma

I’m actually asking this for my friend who does not have a Reddit account. She’s a 60-year-old grandma who is in really good physical shape, except for the fact that she had two shoulder replacements and has a lot of difficulty reaching behind her back. She is looking for a carrier, as she’s going to be babysitting her grandson on and off. He’s currently two months old and about 11 pounds. She googled it and liked the Baby Bjorne but heard good and bad about them. The easier the better for her, because she will be there alone when she’s using it. Thanks so much!

Going to start on maintenance soon …and I’m scared!

I’ll start by saying that for some reason, I cannot post in the Zepbound maintenance sub, even though I joined.
I’ve lost 47 pounds in seven months. And I am at my maintenance; actually, I’m a few pounds under it. I am 68 years old and I don’t really want to be any thinner. I think it just won’t look good on me. But I am so afraid to go on a maintenance dose. I’m afraid my weight will start creeping up again and so will the food noise.
My question is, did you go on maintenance by increasing the amount of time between your shots, or did you decrease your dose? I have an appointment early next week with the physician assistant from the weight loss center, and I’m not quite sure what the plan is. I’ve actually been eating a little more and have stayed at the weight I have been at for the past week or two. So that’s why I’m afraid to change anything. And with summer coming up and more events happening, I wonder if I should just stay where I am and make an effort to eat more?
I’d love your opinions and any kinds of stories you care to share.

EDIT: I started at 2.5 for 1 cycle, then went to 5 mg. I’m currently taking 7.5 mg, which I’ve been on for several months, probably over half the time.
