Highlights from this day
- tare_weight — slightly off topic but went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down 17:00
- surpass_two — the plateau hit me at 18 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came… 17:06
- surpass_two — genuine question vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong 17:18
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
not the same trial
slightly off topic but went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
the plateau hit me at 18 weeks and moved again about a month later without a dose change
went to 2.4 and the extra suppression wasnt worth the GI for me, so i came back down

dose day is sunday for me only because thats when i remember, not because sunday matters
vials not pens here
held at 7.5 and lost 96lb over 23 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
genuine question vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong

going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
held there too
i stayed on 1.7 for 11 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
