Highlights from this day

oli_orals — SURMOUNT-OSA is the stopping one. weight came back on for most people once the drug stopped. that is the finding, not an opinion 22:51
ring_size_down — 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 23:26
VialBot — Archive lookup: fasting_insulin first appears in this channel on 2026-01-09. 23:34

i came off for four months, put 16 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers, your mileage will differ

maintenance is harder than losing because there is no number going down to keep you interested, i could be wrong

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

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

how much regain did people get in the first 24 months after stopping

appetite returning is not the drug failing, it is the drug doing less because you are taking less of it

update on the earlier thing how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled

does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same $240 a month

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

*Medutest not the other one

i lift twice a week specifically because losing fast without it cost me more than i was willing to lose

i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else

*that should say weekly

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

m0  118.4
m1  113.9
m2  110.2
m3  108.8
m4  108.1  <- the stall
m5  105.0
m6  101.6
m7   99.2

SELECT is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers

the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again

harder than losing

stopped 14 months ago and put 45 back on, what did people do at that point

no data on that
