Highlights from this day
- VialBot — New independent result logged — QSC, lot F-1330, purity 97.4% (Janoshik). 21:55
- night_pin — the single most repeated sentence in this channel and it still needs repeating 22:26
- night_pin — weekly weigh-in, same scale, same time of day 22:39
- first_month_fi — that is way more useful than the trial to be honest 22:42
mine faded too

did the STEP 4 withdrawal arm show what i think it showed

slower worked better
21:50marrow.mod pinned a message to this channel
give it four weeks
my dose day drifted from friday to sunday, does that reset anything
how long did the first 14kg take for people at the low doses
changed my mind on the four week rule, i think it depends entirely on how the current dose feels

is there a reason to hold at 1.7 rather than going to 2.4
SELECT wasnt weight
seven days ish

steady state takes weeks
follow up does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
the thing everyone says about regain when you stop. is that from an actual trial or is it vibes
actual trial. STEP 4
everyone titrated up for 20 weeks, then half kept going and half were switched to placebo without knowing
the continuers kept losing. the switched group went back up most of the way
and crucially they were still doing the lifestyle arm. the diet counselling did not save them
so its permanent then
no. it means it works while its in you, like basically every chronic condition drug
nobody says a blood pressure tablet failed because your BP went up when you stopped taking it
the single most repeated sentence in this channel and it still needs repeating

ok but people do stop and keep it off, i know two
yes. thats a real thing and STEP 4 doesnt say otherwise. it says the average person on the average taper regains
we have a #maintenance channel full of people two and three years out, worth reading rather than arguing from means
my own numbers if it helps. i came off deliberately over 9 weeks after 16 months
weekly weigh-in, same scale, same time of day
wk 0 98.2 last 2.4 dose
wk 2 98.0
wk 4 98.9
wk 6 99.8
wk 8 101.1
wk 10 102.4
wk 12 102.9
wk 16 104.6
wk 20 104.1
wk 24 103.8 <- flattened here, roughly 6kg back of 24 lost
that is way more useful than the trial to be honest

its one person. the trial is 800. dont flip it round
the shape matters though. flat for a month then a steady climb then a plateau. thats what mine did too
the flat month is the half-life clearing, not you winning
ugh, correct

did you feel it come back or was it just the scale
felt it around week 5. food noise came back before the weight did
which in hindsight was the actual signal and i ignored it for a month
we started this place in 2023 partly because that gap — signal before scale — was not written down anywhere. keep logging it
will do

coming back to my dumb question about permanent — is there anything published on people who stop on purpose vs stop because of supply
not cleanly, no. the trials randomise the stop. real life doesnt, and the reason you stopped probably predicts the outcome
fair
