To Move up or not

Dosing

I’m currently about to take my 7 th shot tomorrow at 2.5mg. I started off at 226 on 10/3 and currently at 203 lbs for a total of 23lbs lost in 6 weeks. I have no side effects as far as I can tell except for mild constipation which I remedied with miralax and a stool softener. Currently losing about 2 pounds a week still but I also have been way more active, walking 3-6 miles a day with my double stroller and drinking all the water and eating more protein. I have my follow up tomorrow and tempted to ask for a dose up because I do get food hunger still. I don’t feel hungry per se (except when it’s close to shot time) but I don’t relate to the posts or videos where people aren’t hungry because I can always eat. Just less. And when I do overeat (not as much as before) I make up for it by walking more. And with the holidays coming up I am not sure of 2.5mg will keep me steadily losing especially since my 6 miles walks won’t be so easy with winter coming. I want to try 5mg but nervous about developing side effects.

If my PA for the 2.5mg is good for 8 months, will it still be there if I decide 5mg isn’t for me to go back down?
