Highlights from this day
- two_lifts_a_week — i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on 18:45
- per_mg_pete — i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log, from memory 19:27
- per_mg_pete — is there a point where going up stops buying you anything 20:03
follow up a missed week does not reset you, but going straight back to the top dose after a gap is how people get floored
update question: did anyone who held for 18 months regret it
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months, take that with a pinch of salt
the people who do best here are almost always the ones going slowest
i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it, thats just me
i hold for two months minimum before i decide a dose has stopped doing anything
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on

end of week thing
if i hold at 5 indefinitely am i losing anything
update from 2 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly
no trial for that
hold
do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel
🎉4
unrelated but if i took it 2 days late do i shift the schedule or go back to the old day
appetite returning at the end of the week is extremely common and is not the dose failing
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log, from memory

the trials escalated on a fixed schedule because a trial has to. you are not a trial
pick a day and stick to it
U-100 syringe: 1 unit = 0.01 ml
10u = 0.10 ml
25u = 0.25 ml
50u = 0.50 ml
100u = 1.00 ml
mg drawn = ml drawn x mg/mlis there a point where going up stops buying you anything
genuine question small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
[edited]how long did you hold at 5 before you moved up
the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess
two weeks is nothing
what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up
update on the earlier thing plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data
stepping back down on purpose is a completely reasonable move and this channel should say so more often
quick one the honest answer is that most of us are running protocols nobody has ever studied, still working it out
thats anecdote
i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else
