small win: water content stopped being a problem at week 61

Lab Cold Box ×9 The Quiet One ×1

Week 71 update. 37kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 16.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

Batch number and date of analysis? Both are load-bearing.

About c/coa

How to read a certificate of analysis and what it does and does not tell you. Area% versus mass%, identity versus quantity, water content, related substances, acetate counterions, and the difference between a vendor-supplied COA and an independent test on the vial you actually received.

c/coa rules

Post the full document. Cropped COAs that hide the batch number or date get removed.
Redact your own name and order id, not the vendor's batch details.
No "is this good?" without saying what the compound and claimed purity are.
Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
