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

RR

update from 6 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal

RR

two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation

P2

is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule

i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it

anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully

FF

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

is this forever or is that just how it feels at month 15

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

FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion

i stayed at treatment dose for four months past goal and then came down slowly. that order was right for me

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

the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

[edited]

thats SELECT

FF

SURPASS-2 is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers

FF

how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
