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

a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved

TF

im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing

no official dose

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

i came off for four months, put 73 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers, thats one data point

update on the earlier thing i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose

MN

slightly off topic but did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast

New independent result logged — SWB, lot SG-1177, purity 96.8% (VendorInvestigate).

STEP 4 is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers

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

thats SELECT

the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel

same as a bp tablet

cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower

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

harder than losing

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

AO

holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it

AO

how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up

AO

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

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