[Question] how do you actually verify goal weight

Questionbranch of 11 comments

Genuine question, and the title is the question: how do you actually verify goal weight. Stretched from seven to ten days and then to twelve over about four months. Appetite told me where the limit was before the scale did. Been at maintenance for 12 months on 0.25mg. Nothing happens. That is the whole report and it…

Drifted up 19kg over a winter and panicked. It came back off without any change, which is apparently just what weight does.

Adding one thing — decide what maintenance looks like before you arrive at it.

About c/maintenancephase

The part nobody posts about: what happens at goal weight. Finding a lowest effective dose, dose-interval stretching, regain risk data, muscle retention, the psychology of not having a number to chase, and staying on indefinitely versus tapering.

c/maintenancephase rules
  1. State how long you have been at maintenance. "Maintenance" at week 30 is not maintenance.
  2. Regain is not a moral failing and posts implying it is get removed.
  3. Dose-stretching experiences welcome; dose-stretching instructions are not.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
