Should I call it?

Maintenance

I've always been mildly overweight. The first time I was put on a diet I was chubbing out pre-puberty and my mom panicked--went from a little bit more what other kids were to fat-ish. Since then I've been self-conscious about my weight. Zepbound has been a revelation to me, but I'm stuck at a setpoint that is to be fair about 10 lbs below my lowest weight the last time I did a big weight loss thing.

The lowest I ever got as an adult was about 135 lbs. I am 5'5 and have a small frame. I was wearing a size small then. My weight loss provider says 150 is a good goal...he thinks older people need a little extra. I am now at 153 and I'm stuck. Doing all the things that caused me to get to this weight. I'm into a pair of jeans that never fit before. I like how I look--my middle is a little baggy, but my face still looks good-not haggard or Ozempic face.

I feel like my body is telling me something--doing the same things that I did to lose all this weight and now I'm just zigzagging between 152 and 155. I'm exercising more and doing strength training/weights.

I'm meeting with my weight loss guy in a few weeks and I'm thinking of just saying let's go to maintenance. The price cut on 5 mg Zep is motivating--I'm at 7.5 now and I have resisted going up since I'm so close to goal.
