Highlights from this day
- adelaide_assay — a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved 20:42
- motivation_gone — resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous 20:59
- night_pin — how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled 21:18
- underfill_uma — if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room 21:32
- protein_floor — two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation, thats one data point 21:55

⚠️3🙏1🎉3
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
lift twice a week
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about
genuine question how much regain did people get in the first 13 months after stopping
ok so protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive
come down slower than that
no official dose
coming back to this i stayed at treatment dose for four months past goal and then came down slowly. that order was right for me
the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it
still at maintenance
how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
i dropped from 5 to 0.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room
🔥10🙏8👍10
harder than losing
genuine question how long did people stay at treatment dose after hitting goal
i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan, i think
did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation, thats one data point
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2quick one 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

weekly not daily

i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose
for the archive regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
thats fluctuation
