Highlights from this day
  • declared_value — sorry to jump in cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower, anyway 21:21
  • swab_dry_first — genuine question i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose, anyway 21:23
  • monoisotopic — dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly 21:51
  • swab_dry_first — does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining 21:53
  • declared_value — protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive i came off for four months, put 60 back on, and came back. no drama… 22:18

mine held

m0  118.4
m1  113.9
m2  110.2
m3  108.8
m4  108.1  <- the stall
m5  105.0
m6  101.6
m7   99.2

ok so the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve

i stayed at treatment dose for four months past goal and then came down slowly. that order was right for me

the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel

CH

am i the only one finding maintenance harder than losing was

two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation

dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly

does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining

lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up

no official dose

mine didnt hold

GN

regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says, from memory

i came off for four months, put 60 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers

GN

how much regain did people get in the first 22 months after stopping

GN

for the archive is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
