Highlights from this day
- gradient_greg — everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here 14:38
- two_lifts_a_week — anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule i dropped from 2.5 to 7.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months 14:48
- nausea_window — for the archive does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining 15:34
weekly not daily
is maintenance different between tirzepatide and the others or is that all anecdote
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else

update from 11 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
there is no trial on every ten days or every fortnight. people here do it and report on it and that is all we have

is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us
still at maintenance

does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same €185 a month
*PeptideMeter not the other one

*2ml not 2.5
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous, thats just me
how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose

i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
i went to every ten days at a low dose and it held for me. n of 1, and i keep saying that out loud

quick one the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
for the archive does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining

the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up

whats your rule for when a fluctuation becomes a regain
