protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive, from memory

Highlights from this day
- fasting_insulin — resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous 15:18
- factory_direct_fi — 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 15:21
- factory_direct_fi — two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation 16:23
- weather_watch — coming back after 11 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers 16:44
mine held
weekly not daily
while im here i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up

i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else, i think

im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
i dropped from 10 to 15 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
same as a bp tablet
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation

no official dose
stopped 4 months ago and put 11 back on, what did people do at that point
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it, i have it written down somewhere
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
coming back after 11 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers

a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
thats SURMOUNT-OSA
for the archive SELECT is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
i put 20 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round
harder than losing
follow up is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
i came off for four months, put 87 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
