unpopular opinion: regain is massively overrated
Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/customs repeats that goal weight is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I…

tapered slowly over four months instead of stopping cold, regain was 4kg not 24
Coming off deliberately after 22 months, worked with my prescriber on a gradual step-down over about four months rather than just stopping. One year post-taper:…

help me understand regain, I have read the wiki twice
long term. That is the whole post, but I will justify it. Everything else people worry about in c/hplc is downstream of it. Titration speed, early fullness, the endless…

[Question] do you tell new people how long this actually is
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking maintenance against ApoB for 3 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker…

maintenance — my 7-week log, condensed into one table

[Meta] should this community rename "maintenance phase" to something that doesn’t sound like an afterthought
Half-serious, half-not. "Maintenance phase" as a name kind of implies it's the boring bit after the real thing happened. Reading enough threads here has convinced me…

[Meta] the maintenance rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
I have had 18 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe. Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied…

went up a dose over a stall that turned out to be dehydration, learned an expensive lesson
Following up on my six-week-stall post from a while back. Went up. Two rough weeks of side effects. Scale moved... and then it turned out a chunk of the "movement" was…

[Question] does anyone actually feel "done" or is that not a thing
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful. Setup: 2.5mg, week 48, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable —…

lowest effective dose: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1
Been lurking in c/compounding for about 20 months and finally have something worth posting. Short version: week 54, 1.0mg, and dose stretching is the bit I still cannot…

nobody warned me about the identity gap once the thing that organized your life for a year is just... gone
For over a year, "losing weight" was a structuring project. Tracked, planned, celebrated milestones, had a clear direction. Hit goal, and there's genuinely a weird flat…

has anyone actually found their floor — the lowest dose that still holds the line
19 months in, at goal for about seven of those. Been slowly working with my prescriber to see how low I can go and still hold steady rather than just staying on…

six weeks flat at my top dose, is going up even an option at this point or just a bad idea
Been at my current dose for four months, first three months of steady loss then six weeks completely flat. Rolling average and all. Not panicking this time (learned…

[Meta] can maintenance get its own weekly thread, the loss posts drown us out
Been lurking in c/compounding for about 16 months and finally have something worth posting. Short version: week 17, 0.5mg, and dose stretching is the bit I still cannot…

maintenance vs dose stretching — genuinely asking which matters more
