[Question] does anyone actually feel "done" or is that not a thing

Question

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 2.5mg, week 48, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — dose stretching — and tracked it for 14 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Did you stretch the dose interval?

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not

the plateau is where the learning happens

lowest effective dose is dose stretching, find it or stay higher

Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 93.7% on the same vial is normal.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

The plateau is real and boring. 48 weeks at the same weight, then movement again. Patience was the intervention.

How long at maintenance?

About c/maintenancephase

The part nobody posts about: what happens at goal weight. Finding a lowest effective dose, dose-interval stretching, regain risk data, muscle retention, the psychology of not having a number to chase, and staying on indefinitely versus tapering.
