Final Goal Achieved!!! Now what?

I see these meds as temporary support until you can manage on your own. By this point you probably already have good habits and a solid calorie tracker.

One-Factor-at-a-Time is the way to test this properly. Change either the dose or the spacing, but not both, and hold it steady for about a month until levels stabilize. Then you'll see if the average exposure or the peaks matter more, or if it makes no difference. It could take three to six months to map it out. Studies show most people regain once they quit entirely.

Nice work. I'm still about five pounds out and plan to drop to 2 or 4 mg of Reta, maybe 6 mg, from my current 9 mg. We'll see how it goes.

Congrats! I'm currently stalled and even gained a couple pounds, though I'm not sure if it's fat or water since I'm still exercising regularly. Good to see others hitting their numbers. No personal experience yet but I've seen advice to titrate down and hold for a while to gauge how you feel before adjusting further.

First thing is to set your boundaries: you won't stay at 110 lb, so decide at what point you'll step in, maybe a couple-pound window either direction. If you drop below, eat more; if you go over, eat less. Appetite control here mostly comes from dose size. What's your recent trend at the current dose? That tells you how big an adjustment to make. Personally I'd rather keep the same day each week than track shifting intervals. Smaller doses or moving from twice weekly to once weekly might be simpler for me.

Congrats, that's a big payoff for the effort. A lot depends on how you arrived there. At such a low dose there could be more room to adjust. I kept a strict routine until I was four pounds under goal, then relaxed my own rules while leaving dose and timing unchanged. That single change has held for over a year. I also started focusing on body composition and muscle instead of just the scale. At 5 mg you're still at a low level, so loosening up on treats might be enough to balance things without other changes. Either way, well done.

This is the part where only personal trial and error will show what works for you, especially if you're not seeing a specialist who could just tell you what to try. Your own ideas are worth testing; pick one and track it, then update us.

My endocrinologist knows I'm using Retatrutide and suggested for maintenance either spreading the same dose over 6 to 10 days or lowering the dose while keeping the same frequency. Both approaches can work; some people just like one better. I'm at goal now and have moved down to 3 mg weekly from my prior 3+2 schedule.

No advice from me yet since I'm still ten pounds out, but I wanted to say congrats anyway. Hopefully I'll be asking the same questions soon.

Congrats @SeaGypsy !

That's great, congrats. Since you never went above 5 mg you could test whether that amount is already your maintenance level. Or drop to 4 mg for a month and check results, then 3 mg for another few weeks, and so on. If food noise returns, bump it back up by a milligram. The idea is to find the lowest effective amount, which will take several weeks of testing, but at least the hard part of reaching goal is done.

Big congrats. Like others have said, lower the dose gradually and don't change the interval at the same time. Go slow.

Congrats to Sea Gypsy and everyone else who has hit their goals here. Solid work.

Amazing! I'm about five pounds away and wondering the same thing. Sounds like the answer is just to experiment and find what fits.
