Highlights from this day
- maintenance_mo — two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation 22:14
- eight_mm — whats your rule for when a fluctuation becomes a regain i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything… 22:22
- maintenance_mo — how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled i dropped from 15 to 2.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months 22:39
- salt_bridge — there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping, anyway 22:49

regain is expected
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
i dropped from 2.5 to 7.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
set a trigger weight

does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for

the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it
