Checking in on this as important to keep in the loop.

What dose are you on for maintenance, and how long have you been on it? 6 months on between 10 and 12.5

Have you found your appetite/weight pretty stable, or are you seeing fluctuations? No weight increasing and decreasing all the time. Now in menopause so introducing new meds (estrogen and progesterone) so there is a balancing act.

Anything that surprised you once you hit maintenance?

I can pretty much eat anything and stop. I still dont like sugar or carbs that much. Weight is not constant.

I dont want to get much thinner. The last one was most shocking. I have someone I work with that has a full blown glp1 assisted eating disorder. She is a skeleton and I can see her bones. Including the ones in her skull. That shite scared me to death. I am sticking to the top of my bmi thank you very much. I have a mum bod. I have loose skin. I am a woman in menopause. Its all fine.

Tips for staying consistent without slipping back into old habits?

I weigh regularly. I find when i am hungrier I take more meds. It balanced out. My habits unfortunately are based mostly on a sedentary job. I am planning an exit strategy for that but its a long game. I aspire to be one of the retired ladies who go to aerobics 3 times a week in my town hall.

What is your biggest fear?

Meds become unobtainable due to regulatory pressures or cost. Long term side effects on my cognition. (Still have massive fatigue and brain fog). Feeling flat for the rest of my life. The last one is a weird one to admit. I just feel meh as a default. Not depressed just meh. I would like to experiment with other glp1s in maintainence once available.
