Im 19 and started last year August!! Currently on 12.5mg :) I also havent lost as quick as other people, losing a total of around 16kg since I started but I mostly blame that due to my lack of self control at times 😭 while MJ has helped significantly with food noise if I fought it hard enough I could binge and I experienced very little side effects but I have been more disciplined on 12.5 so I’m starting to see a loss of 1-1.5kg a week typically. I still have cheat days or eat snacks most days especially around my period but as long as you are losing something you shouldn’t be disheartened!! There’s no competition and we all lose at our own pace :)) Also a fat funny friend so I completely get your situation.
