[Struggle] hit goal and immediately felt worse. did not expect that.

Struggle Receipts ×8

Week 78 update. 4kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 35.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

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.
