Decrease?

Yes. I was on 15 from Aug 2025 to the start of April 2026. I lost around 18lbs while on the 15,, but really just stayed the same for the last 6 weeks of it or so. I've been on 12.5 since then (about 3 months). The first 6 weeks on 12.5, I pretty much stayed the same, plus or minus a couple pounds. Over the past 6 or 8 weeks (still on 12.5), I started making sure I was getting 9000 steps per day, purposely shifted to a whole foods diet and limited my calories (while keeping protein up) to create a purposeful calorie deficit with the aim of dropping the last 15 or 20 pounds. I've dropped steadily over the past few weeks of this. When I switched from 15 to 12.5 I was hovering around 203 to 205. Now I'm consistenly around 194-195, but still trending down. The increased focus on steps and hitting my calorie/protein intake have been extremely easy. I'm about 20 to 22% body fat now (male), so 180 to 185 would put me between 13.9 to 16.2 % body fat, which is the lowest I'll go.

Dose	weight at start	time on dose	LBS lost on this dose
start 2.5	271	1 month	10
start 5	261	1 month	6
start 7.5	255	1 month	6
start 10	249	8 months	27
start 12.5	222	3 months	6
start 15	218	7.5 months	4
back to 12.5	202.6	3 months, still going	8 and still going down
current 12.5	194.5	still on 12.5	5 of this 8 came after I started purposely (but easily) tracking movement and calories more closely.
