[Non-Scale Win] tied my own shoes without holding my breath

Discussion The Quiet One ×2

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 5mg to 1.7mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 21 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 reflux I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 37 reads it before doing the same thing.

Strongly agree. NSV counts.

Strongly agree.

Adding to this: progress is doing more work than the comment implies.

Maintenance for 13 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Came off after 51 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

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

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

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.
