Week 96 update. 22kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 41. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…

the relative risk reduction in headlines is not the whole story

TGA shortage notices are temporary

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on [Regret] went 0.25 → 1.0 in three weeks and learned why that is dumb in c/darkspot · 5 points · 7 days ago
Small correction: the trial was 5 weeks, not 7. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on [TGA] shortage notice archive, worth bookmarking in c/glp1aus · 26 points · 10 days ago
Maintenance for 11 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
comment on why does everyone say week 4 is the wall in c/semaglutide · 19 points · 11 days ago
week 77 on the pen, 23kg down, this is the answer
comment on [Results] 2 weeks, 6kg, and retatrutide was the hard part in c/retatrutide · 22 points · 19 days ago
nobody should be giving this to anyone without extensive monitoring
comment on [Regret] told my whole family, then stopped, then had to tell them that too in c/darkspot · 13 points · 21 days ago
Came off after 5 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
comment on stopped losing at 1.7 so i went to 2.4 and lost nothing faster in c/semaglutide · 5 points · 23 days ago
the quiet is real.
Adding to this: Wegovy is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about New Zealand in c/glp1aus · 1 points · 29 days ago
This is correct. PBS listings matter.
comment on three years of TGA threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1aus · 20 points · 1 months ago
Sceptical.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

off-label use data is different from approved-indication data
comment on went back down from 2.4 to 1.7 and lost more. explain that in c/semaglutide · 9 points · 1 months ago
Did you test the vial you received or are we going off the vendor COA?
comment on why does nobody talk about hazard ratio in c/trialwatch · 12 points · 1 months ago
Small correction: the trial was 21 weeks, not 19. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

dropout handling matters, especially on GI-heavy populations
comment on does lost money actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/darkspot · 2 points · 2 months ago
tests that came back 98.7%
comment on 18 months in and TRIUMPH is still the thing I get wrong in c/trialwatch · 9 points · 2 months ago
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on week 51 check-in — 26kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 27 points · 2 months ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
