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

Highlights from this day
- taper_tess — update on the earlier thing protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive, anyway 11:48
- a1c_lag — 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 11:53
- taper_tess — while im here i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose 12:07
- a1c_lag — two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation, n of 1 obviously 12:09
- nadia_notes — FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion 12:28
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
i dropped from 5 to 0.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months

set a trigger weight
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
anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
while im here i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation, n of 1 obviously
i put 28 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round
i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan
