am I the only one who found milestone harder than the injections

Results Sourced ×8 Slow Clap ×1

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 12.5mg to 5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 23 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 muscle cramps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 78 reads it before doing the same thing.

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

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

Came off after 9 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Small correction: the trial was 13 weeks, not 24. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Week 90 for me and the honest summary is: 13kg down, nausea manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is non-scale victory. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 5–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

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

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
