clothes fit the same for 14 months and it is genuinely strange

Results Clean Column ×1 Sourced ×3

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

Setup: 0.5mg, week 79, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — goal weight — and tracked it for 20 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.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Maintenance for 24 months now. 10mg every 13 days, weight 34±24kg. Found the rhythm.

Regain on a taper is expected. 16% back over 36 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.

Regain on a taper is expected. 15% back over 28 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.

Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is regain. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

the 1.0mg dose works fine for 47 weeks of the month

weight moves within 10kg and that is normal

Disagree on that part. 94.2% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.

state how long you have been at maintenance, week 13 is not maintenance

Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 97.4. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Not to be pedantic but dose stretching and long term are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 10 weeks to accept.

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.

c/maintenancephase rules
  1. State how long you have been at maintenance. "Maintenance" at week 30 is not maintenance.
  2. Regain is not a moral failing and posts implying it is get removed.
  3. Dose-stretching experiences welcome; dose-stretching instructions are not.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
