How to go about maintenance?
My SW was 260 and my GW was 205. As of this morning I am 203... I met with my pharmacist last week (we do monthly check ins) and I told her I was ready to start maintenance. She ordered me 6 months of my current dose (1.7) and transitioned me to care with my PCM. The pharmacist was very detailed in my plan, and rate of increase for medication, and I'm afraid my PCM will not be as well versed on it, but I don't see him until January. Will my body naturally settle into a good weight? At 200 I start to look too skinny, and my fear was always looking sick like some do when they are on GLP-1s. I get my healthcare and medication through the VA.
For reference, the ideal weight for me is 136-184 according to the BMI charts. My BF% has went from 29% to 19%.
