[Results] 19 weeks on 0.25mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring

Resultsbranch of 10 comments

19 weeks on 0.25mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring, and the part I actually want to talk about is at the bottom. Numbers, in the order they matter: 19 weeks and 0.25mg. Maintenance is the phase with the least published guidance and the most individual variation, which is precisely why board consensus here is…

This.

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

Agreed. Lowest effective dose is the actual maintenance question and it gets almost no airtime next to the escalation threads.

Push back: that is not a plateau, that is maintenance. You have arrived and you are describing it as a failure.

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.
