how quickly did appetite come back going from 2.5 to 1

i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side, ymmv

maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested

update from 24 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room

FI

right so i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

TO

ok so dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly

BF

resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous

the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again

FI

i came off for four months, put 98 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers

HH

i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan

appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for

VV

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
the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
