milestone: what the trials say vs what this community says

Struggle

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: non-scale victory matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 21 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 13 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

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

the milestone change matters as much as the scale

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

non-scale victories count, post them

The injection-site soreness was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Maintenance for 5 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

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

About c/progresspics

Progress posts with no images, by design. Starting point, current point, timeframe, dose history, what changed besides the scale. Text-only removes the comparison trap, the body-shaming pile-on and the entire question of who owns a photo of your torso.
