TB-500 — 11 things I got wrong before I got it right
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 16 weeks…

comment on three years of tracking threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/dosinglogs · 3 points · 2 months ago
Not convinced.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on Spain: Wegovy, and what it actually costs here in c/semaglutide · 59 points · 3 months ago
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
comment on three years of lowest effective dose threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/maintenancephase · -24 points · 3 months ago
Not to be pedantic but goal weight and maintenance are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring moderation at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/meta · 4 points · 3 months ago
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
comment on unpopular opinion: lost money is massively overrated in c/darkspot · 3 points · 3 months ago
Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?
comment on three years of mechanism threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1science · -12 points · 3 months ago
Sceptical.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 80 weeks to accept.
comment on titration — 20 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/semaglutide · 13 points · 3 months ago
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on
comment on someone explain identity to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/researchpeptides · 36 points · 3 months ago
How many weeks between the two measurements?
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 29 weeks to accept.
comment on CGM vs metformin — genuinely asking which matters more in c/t2dglp1 · 8 points · 4 months ago
hypoglycaemia risk when stacked with A1c
comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether long term is why in c/maintenancephase · 87 points · 4 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 13–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on log vs weight — genuinely asking which matters more in c/dosinglogs · 13 points · 4 months ago
Not to be pedantic but tracking and log are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

regain is not a moral failing

comment on Ozempic is the most under-discussed thing in c/newbiequestions in c/semaglutide · 15 points · 5 months ago
okay but what dose of sema are you on

Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.
comment on someone explain hair loss to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/sideeffects · 59 points · 5 months ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on week 36 check-in — 16kg down, reflux manageable, one thing confusing me in c/dosinglogs · 1 points · 5 months ago
include dose and date on every update

comment on the half-life question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/glp1science · 39 points · 5 months ago
Small correction: the trial was 16 weeks, not 16. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on is it normal to get reflux at week 70 in c/sideeffects · 26 points · 5 months ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with reflux, not with what you concluded.
