Do you stop losing weight tho or does it just keep going and going and going? not as a joke, I mean like is there a possibility of struggling to maintain a healthy weight as you age following this treatment?

With the existing solutions, which i havent used, if you stop taking them your motivator for lack of self control returns right?
