#maintenance 2026-05-04

slightly off topic but whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about

thats FLOW

STEP 4 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion

right so i put 14 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round
i weigh weekly at maintenance rather than daily and my range is about two kilos either side

Channel stats, last 30 days: 136 messages from 9 members.

still at maintenance

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

if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room

went back up, no regrets

there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping

the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve

for the archive i came off for four months, put 27 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers

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

harder than losing

no data on that

ok so my range is 5 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain

lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up

anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully

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

*that should say weekly
