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

Highlights from this day
- nordic_price_nils — ok so my Medutest report on the TFC vial came back 99.2 against a certificate saying 98.1, thats one data point 12:55
- cat_on_the_tray — anyone gone from 1.7 straight to 2.4 or is that too big a jump 13:09
- nordic_price_nils — unrelated but does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life 13:21
- seven_five_sweet — held at 2.4 and lost 40lb over 25 months, slower than the trials and fine by me 13:51
- VialBot — Batch lookup F-1330: 9 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-08-20. 15:55
26 months at 2.4 and the honest summary is diminishing returns after the first half, happy to be corrected

same dose day
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
held there too

i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication, i think
*Janoshik not the other one

lost about 11kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me

2.4 is the ceiling
im at 2 and stuck, did anyone break a plateau without going up
mine faded too
SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels
my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem
compounded and brand felt the same to me at 15, which is one person and nothing more
my 5 vial in 3ml gives 5mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 20 units, thats why i picked that volume

does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
plateaus move
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
slower worked better

thats STEP 1

vials not pens here
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
not the same trial
😂1
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule, still working it out
give it four weeks
coming back to this five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt, ask me again in a month
