[PSA] goal weight is not what most of this community thinks it is

Long Term Clean Column ×8

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

Setup: 1.7mg, week 14, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — goal weight — and tracked it for 19 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.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

lowest effective dose is regain, find it or stay higher

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

Tried the lowest-effective approach. 12.5mg worked for 10 weeks, then cravings returned. 15mg was the actual floor.

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.

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.

  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
