did your maintenance dose end up higher or lower than you expected it to

SS

does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same £38 a month

FT

i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan

went back up, no regrets

🙏4

harder than losing

FT

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

OW

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

NP

i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side

OW

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

VB

Purity check: no report on file for lot F-1330. Nothing logged either way.

NP

food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me

NP

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

OW

my range is 45 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain

AB

two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it

NP

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

AB

coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month

NP

for the archive whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about

*Janoshik not the other one

update from 17 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal

protein up not down

AB

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

NP

i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
