[Results] 64 weeks, 11kg, and lowest effective dose was the hard part
64 weeks, 11kg, and lowest effective dose was the hard part. Full detail below, and I have tried to keep the editorialising out of it. Figures up front so nobody has to dig: 64 weeks and 11kg. The habits from the losing phase are what carry it now. That is not inspirational, it is just what happened. Drifted up 24kg…
Dose reduction and interval extension are different interventions. Halving the dose keeps the rhythm and lowers the level; stretching keeps the level and lowers the frequency, with a lower trough.
find the dose that holds, then stop optimising
Standing reminder that regain after stopping is a documented pharmacological outcome, and posts framing it as a moral failure get edited.

Disagreeing with this bit: a two-kilo range is not drift and treating it as a problem creates one.
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.
Correction: that trial measured regain after withdrawal, not failure of the drug during treatment. Very different claim.
seven days to ten to twelve is the sequence people here describe
That is a range, not a trend. Two weigh-ins 18 days apart cannot distinguish them.
plan the maintenance phase before you need it
