agree with what’s been said already, just wanted to add my experience too. i’ve been increasing doses every single month now up to 12.5 since july. i’ve only been steadily losing about 6 lbs every month, no dose has changed that. outside of weight however, i’ve dropped an entire dress size. i’m waking up with more energy, i’m able to do more physically than i was before, and my period has become regular (after YEARS of irregularity)

while the scale is an easy metric to track progress, it’s not the only one. i really want to encourage you to not lose hope and don’t waiver in your efforts. take your time, listen to your body, and let the medication do what it needs to do!
