Highlights from this day

non_scale_win — is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4 17:12
split_dose_sam — five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt 17:57
slow.taper — was SURPASS-2 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up 18:57

slower worked better

plateaus move

✅6🙏5

does the seven day half life mean the last two days are weaker

went too fast once

how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7

went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step

is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4

🔥8✅5🤝7

right so im at 15 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up

my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem

STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it

SELECT wasnt weight

what did SELECT actually measure, i see it quoted for everything
moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me

lost about 13kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me, still working it out

[edited]

for the archive the plateau hit me at 18 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change

was SURPASS-2 the one that ran to 68 weeks or am i mixing them up

went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
