Highlights from this day
- bpc_sceptic — i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan 14:13
- myrrh_measures — i stayed at treatment dose for four months past goal and then came down slowly. that order was right for me 15:17
- panel_before_after — i was wrong about maintenance being the easy part and i had said so loudly for a year beforehand, thats one data point 15:31
- panel_before_after — there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping 17:11

quick one SURPASS-2 is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion
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
stopped 24 months ago and put 35 back on, what did people do at that point
the honest answer to is this forever is that nobody knows and the drug only works while you are taking it
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says
right so food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me, we shall see
harder than losing
did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
thats SURMOUNT-OSA

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

everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous, i could be wrong
mine held
two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation
follow up i came off for four months, put 61 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers
lift twice a week

still at maintenance
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
genuine question is this forever or is that just how it feels at month 11
come down slower than that
sorry to jump in SURPASS-2 is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers
for the archive coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
mine didnt hold
no data on that
