Highlights from this day
- meal_prep_mick — STEP is several trials, so saying STEP said x is usually wrong without a number after it 19:23
- steady_state_sue — did anybody find a difference between SWB and pharmacy at the same 10 i held at 0.5 for 7 months and it was the best decision i made 19:38
- VialBot — Channel stats, last 30 days: 116 messages from 36 members. 20:54
- two_four_ceiling — back after 16 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher 20:56
- patent_2026 — my plateau was the scale stopping while appetite stayed suppressed, which is a different problem 21:40
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
steady state takes weeks
2.4 is the ceiling
📉1❤️1
going slow cost me nothing except time and saved me two bad weeks, thats my whole contribution
anyone gone from 0.25 straight to 5 or is that too big a jump
anyone compared their 5 vial dosing against the pen increments

slightly off topic but licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
same dose day
did anybody find a difference between SWB and pharmacy at the same 10
i held at 0.5 for 7 months and it was the best decision i made
while im here moving my dose day by a day or two never did anything noticeable for me
my 10 vial in 2.5ml gives 4mg/ml so 0.25 lands on 10 units, thats why i picked that volume, your mileage will differ
plateaus move
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
did anyone hold at 0.5 longer than four weeks before going up
slower worked better
lost about 7kg on the low doses before i even got to 1, which surprised me
how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
[edited]i held at 5 for 2 months and it was the best decision i made
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose, ask me again in a month
went too fast once
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing, thats one data point
