small win: goal weight stopped being a problem at week 20
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud. The advice on dose stretching in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers…
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
regain after taper is expected, plan for it
state how long you have been at maintenance, week 16 is not maintenance
dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not
The plateau is real and boring. 46 weeks at the same weight, then movement again. Patience was the intervention.

Adding to this: lowest effective dose is doing more work than the comment implies.
Did you stretch the dose interval?
the plateau is where the learning happens
food noise returns but not always immediately
weight moves within 2kg and that is normal
the maintenance question changes at maintenance
