lift twice a week

coming back to this dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly

mine didnt hold

the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel

appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for

two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation

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

did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast

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

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, i have it written down somewhere

lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up, i have it written down somewhere

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

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

i stayed at treatment dose for four months past goal and then came down slowly. that order was right for me
