Highlights from this day
- sasha_stacks — cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower 11:08
- lean_mass_lex — if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room, for what its worth 11:10
- month_six_me — i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand 11:31
- month_six_me — how much regain did people get in the first 21 months after stopping 11:57
- maintenance_mo — how long did people stay at treatment dose after hitting goal 13:02
i stayed at treatment dose for four months past goal and then came down slowly. that order was right for me
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation, still working it out
appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it
come down slower than that

if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time

unrelated but how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room, for what its worth

whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about
[edited]i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan
i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
how much regain did people get in the first 21 months after stopping

everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here
i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
mine held

the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it, i have it written down somewhere
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
genuine question the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
no official dose
stopped 7 months ago and put 16 back on, what did people do at that point
how long did people stay at treatment dose after hitting goal

coming back after 17 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers
⚠️3✅10
im holding at 10 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
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

i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose, someone check my working
while im here regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
follow up update from 23 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were
is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
