Highlights from this day
- nordic_price_nils — resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous 14:32
- gus_charts — im holding at 0.25 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower 16:18
- logrotate — everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here 17:21
- oli_orals — did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were 17:30
STEP 4 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
how much regain did people get in the first 24 months after stopping
if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
i came off for four months, put 26 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers

dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
slightly off topic but i dropped from 2.5 to 2 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months, i have it written down somewhere
coming back after 23 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers
is this forever or is that just how it feels at month 5
*that should say weekly
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
does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same £38 a month
come down slower than that
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous
nobody here can tell you whether to stop. we can tell you what happened to us when we did
went back up, no regrets
food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me
❤️1👍1
no official dose
still at maintenance
sorry to jump in the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again
im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
coming back to this did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose

weekly not daily
i put 37 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round, thats one data point
protein up not down
im holding at 0.25 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower

for the archive does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining
stopped 4 months ago and put 24 back on, what did people do at that point
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it
whats your rule for when a fluctuation becomes a regain
everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here

appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it
🔥1👀3
is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us
protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive
regain is expected
did anyone drop the dose for maintenance or just stay where they were

the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve, happy to be corrected
thats SURPASS-2
unrelated but lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully
