went back up, no regrets

follow up appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for

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

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

maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested, someone check my working

the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here

update from 5 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal

i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it

dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly, n of 1 obviously

nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did

im holding at 0.25 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower

SURMOUNT-OSA is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested
