- lot_number_lou — im holding at 1 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower 13:05
- marrow.mod — the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again 13:34
- baseline_drift — there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping 16:38
- appetite_back — i came off for four months, put 88 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers 16:44
- baseline_drift — everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here, i could be wrong 16:52
maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested
im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again

i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
thats SURMOUNT-1
i put 32 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round
update on the earlier thing STEP 4 is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
SURPASS-2 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
[edited]come down slower than that
lift twice a week
Inter-lab diff for lot B-0114: 96.8% vs 97.4%. Within expected range.
no official dose
the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose
does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same €72 a month
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation

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
slightly off topic but appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me
*week 9 not week 5
i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan
i dropped from 7.5 to 2.4 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months, someone check my working
sorry to jump in the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel, your mileage will differ
stopped 10 months ago and put 45 back on, what did people do at that point
