Highlights from this day
- night_pin — sorry to jump in whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about 14:27
- night_pin — sorry to jump in the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve, still working it out 15:20
- sgp_subq — FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion 16:36
- maintenance_mo — how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled 16:57
- maintenance_mo — there is no trial on every ten days or every fortnight. people here do it and report on it and that is all we have 17:18
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
thats STEP 1
lift twice a week
i came off for four months, put 57 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
mine held
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
weekly not daily

nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
whats your rule for when a fluctuation becomes a regain
follow up how quickly did appetite come back going from 0.25 to 1.7

does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining
sorry to jump in the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve, still working it out
went back up, no regrets
i dropped from 7.5 to 2 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
FLOW is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same €55 a month
i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose
no official dose
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
