- bac_water_bill — resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous 15:43
am i the only one finding maintenance harder than losing was
does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same €94 a month
right so how much regain did people get in the first 3 months after stopping
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive
lift twice a week
i dropped from 0.25 to 10 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
[edited]food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me
Archive lookup: vienna_vial first appears in this channel on 2024-11-06.
no data on that
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 maintenance different between cagrilintide and the others or is that all anecdote
Inter-lab diff for lot C-4402: 98.6% vs 99.4%. Within expected range.

sorry to jump in i came off for four months, put 60 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
genuine question i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining

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

update from 22 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
thats SELECT
FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion

protein up not down
if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time

dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous

there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
