#maintenance 2026-02-20

the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says

harder than losing

follow up food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me
i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand

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

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

went back up, no regrets

is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule

lift twice a week

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

a 10mg vial at a 2mg maintenance dose is five weeks of doses, so my monthly cost roughly halved

i dropped from 15 to 0.5 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months

for the archive im holding at 2.4 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
i dropped from 0.25 to 2.4 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months

nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
