coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous

SS

cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower

TL

stopped 21 months ago and put 5 back on, what did people do at that point

how much regain did people get in the first 17 months after stopping

TL

a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved

TL

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

FT

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

FT

is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us
i put 33 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round

EE

how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled

im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
