Highlights from this day
- appetite_back — genuine question 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 21:09
- ferrous_ash — the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again 21:49
- tokyo_taper — lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up 22:42
- tokyo_taper — i went to every ten days at a low dose and it held for me. n of 1, and i keep saying that out loud 23:00
come down slower than that
anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully
update from 2 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
right so if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room

still at maintenance
update on the earlier thing regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
i came off for four months, put 58 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
is this forever or is that just how it feels at month 7

thats fluctuation
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel, for what its worth
*Janoshik not the other one
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous
went back up, no regrets
the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
mine didnt hold
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2weekly not daily
the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again
am i the only one finding maintenance harder than losing was
how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose
harder than losing

how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
protein up not down
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
set a trigger weight
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous

whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about
i put 31 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round
i went to every ten days at a low dose and it held for me. n of 1, and i keep saying that out loud
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved
im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
