mine didnt hold

Testing queue: 6 submissions open, 72 awaiting dispatch.

went back up, no regrets

regain is expected

thats STEP 1

am i the only one finding maintenance harder than losing was

how much regain did people get in the first 23 months after stopping

how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing

dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly, n of 1 obviously
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room

Recon calculator: 30mg in 1.5ml = 4mg/ml.

how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan

appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it

i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose

the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it

harder than losing

holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it

i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

protein up not down

mine held

protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive

same as a bp tablet

regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says

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

anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully

how quickly did appetite come back going from 2 to 5

thats fluctuation

is this forever or is that just how it feels at month 20

everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here

SELECT is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers

im holding at 15 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says

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

cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower

my range is 41 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain

still at maintenance

update from 10 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal, thats just me

*that should say weekly
