Highlights from this day
- two_lifts_a_week — anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule 20:56
- two_lifts_a_week — slightly off topic but i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it 21:04
- auckland_aliquot — did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had… 21:49
- meniscus_mel — i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose, i have it written down somewhere 22:22
- septum_sal — right so does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining 22:23
the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled

i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
*Medutest not the other one
coming back after 4 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers
sorry to jump in update from 7 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
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
everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here

maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up, happy to be corrected
