why does nobody talk about goal weight
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 2.5mg to 1.0mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 2 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have early fullness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 35 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
weight moves within 22kg and that is normal
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
Regain on a taper is expected. 4% back over 16 weeks, which matches the discontinuation data. Planned for it.
food noise returns but not always immediately
Tried the lowest-effective approach. 0.25mg worked for 18 weeks, then cravings returned. 12.5mg was the actual floor.
state how long you have been at maintenance, week 23 is not maintenance
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
lowest effective dose is dose stretching, find it or stay higher
What dose are you on?
food noise returns but not always immediately
Weight variance within what range?
the long term question changes at maintenance
the 12.5mg dose works fine for 37 weeks of the month
the plateau is where the learning happens
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
