week 45 check-in — 8kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me

Long Termbranch of 11 comments

Here it is: week 45 check-in — 8kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me. One person, one log, no control group, so read it accordingly. Hard numbers: week 45 and 8kg. Anything softer than that is flagged as an impression. On stopping, since it is the question underneath most posts here. Withdrawal…

What is the plan if the drift continues for another month?

What does your weigh-in frequency look like at this point?

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.
