Highlights from this day
- protein_floor — coming back after 4 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers 20:09
- bo_bloodwork — does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same £72 a month 21:07
- patent_2026 — regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a… 21:58
is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
[edited]how much regain did people get in the first 1 months after stopping
is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
weekly not daily
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous
come down slower than that
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation, your mileage will differ
[edited]lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
follow up the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it, thats one data point
whats your rule for when a fluctuation becomes a regain
💀4🎉1
same as a bp tablet
im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
thats SURPASS-2

anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
lift twice a week
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
coming back after 4 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers

cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
im holding at 0.25 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive
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
stopped 2 months ago and put 28 back on, what did people do at that point
i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand
nhs_pathway_nellfollow up the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only…
does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel, ill dig out the number
no data on that
does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same £72 a month

holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
set a trigger weight
mine didnt hold
[edited]went back up, no regrets
Inter-lab diff for lot A-2418: 99.2% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.
i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan, ill dig out the number
i came off for four months, put 72 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers, happy to be corrected
is this forever or is that just how it feels at month 13
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower

if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room, your mileage will differ
still at maintenance
how quickly did appetite come back going from 2.4 to 15
thats fluctuation
