AHI 34 → 9 after 28kg. The CPAP is in a cupboard and I am not complaining.

comment on six weeks flat at my top dose, is going up even an option at this point or just a bad idea in c/maintenancephase · 9 points · 4 days ago
seconding the sleep check specifically, mine was the hidden variable in my own stall a while back
comment on [Non-Scale Win] almost asked about going up, fixed protein and sleep instead, stall broke in c/progresspics · 61 points · 4 days ago
sleep quality matters as much as duration too, worth a mention — my AHI dropped a lot over the course of losing weight and my sleep genuinely improved as a side effect, which then helped everything else. it's a loop in both directions.
comment on cloudy after reconstitution — discard, right? right. in c/reconstitution · 158 points · 13 days ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is reconstitution. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on [PSA] let the alcohol swab dry before you puncture, that is the step everyone skips in c/reconstitution · 101 points · 15 days ago
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
comment on reconstituted at 1mL instead of 2mL and caught it before injecting. lucky. in c/reconstitution · 137 points · 17 days ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
comment on [Regret] chased the scale instead of the labs for a year in c/darkspot · 6 points · 1 months ago
Yeah, the lesson matters.
comment on tried failure for 9 weeks. here is what happened. in c/darkspot · 1 points · 3 months ago
no "told you so" comments, removed without discussion
comment on someone explain lost money to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/darkspot · 52 points · 5 months ago
failures, regrets, things that went wrong
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify dead space in c/reconstitution · 13 points · 7 months ago
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
comment on three years of dead space threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/reconstitution · 52 points · 8 months ago
Crossposting this to c/intlshipping because the people who need it are not reading this community.
comment on am I the only one who found what went wrong harder than the injections in c/darkspot · 11 points · 11 months ago
the 20 order that disappeared from Homopeptide

decisions people would not make again
comment on [PSA] bacteriostatic water is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/reconstitution · 7 points · 1 year ago
dead space is real and the syringe matters
Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Results] 47 weeks, 20kg, and lost money was the hard part in c/darkspot · 99 points · 1 year ago
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring bacteriostatic water at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/reconstitution · 129 points · 1 year ago
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
comment on genuine question about bacteriostatic water that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/reconstitution · 19 points · 1 year ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with mg/mL, not with what you concluded.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about regret in c/darkspot · 11 points · 1 year ago
money lost to group buys
comment on small win: dead space stopped being a problem at week 95 in c/reconstitution · 19 points · 1 year ago
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.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify concentration in c/reconstitution · 35 points · 2 years ago
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step

never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
