quick one stopped 11 months ago and put 20 back on, what did people do at that point

- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot SG-1177: 99.4% vs 99%. Within expected range. 12:55
- VialBot — New independent result logged — SWB, lot SG-1177, purity 96.8% (VendorInvestigate). 13:30
- apob_over_ldl — the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve 14:23
- apob_over_ldl — i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan, ymmv 15:16
i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side
protein up not down
still at maintenance
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
no official dose
Inter-lab diff for lot SG-1177: 99.4% vs 99%. Within expected range.
weekly not daily
i dropped from 7.5 to 0.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
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
whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about
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
slightly off topic but did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
New independent result logged — SWB, lot SG-1177, purity 96.8% (VendorInvestigate).
im holding at 10 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
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
no data on that
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
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
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
thats fluctuation
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
