maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested

Highlights from this day
- hair_month_four — anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and… 13:44
- tokyo_taper — i put 31 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round 14:13
- ring_size_down — nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did 18:22
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot D-0718. Nothing logged either way. 18:31
my range is 14 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain
no data on that
update on the earlier thing i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose
SURPASS-2 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
genuine question im holding at 10 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
update on the earlier thing i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan
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, ill dig out the number
[edited]does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same €38 a month
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
*Medutest not the other one
lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were
i put 31 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round

regain is expected
whats your rule for when a fluctuation becomes a regain
how much regain did people get in the first 15 months after stopping
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
no official dose
harder than losing
come down slower than that
how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for, thats just me
i came off for four months, put 75 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly, thats just me
[edited]update from 9 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully
i dropped from 15 to 1 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months, still working it out
mine held
🎉1👍1
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did

resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous
mine didnt hold
