Highlights from this day
nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
coming back to this i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan
🤝1✅8
while im here i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand
no data on that
*that should say weekly
regain is expected
the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
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

Verification log updated: BCH — evidence added, status unchanged.
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
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 maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
slightly off topic but i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
i put 7 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round
coming back after 1 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers
if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
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
🤝5👀4🎉1
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
how quickly did appetite come back going from 2.4 to 0.25
