small win: plateau stopped being a problem at week 28
small win: plateau stopped being a problem at week 28. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones. Dropped my injection day by two days once because of travel. Nothing happened. The panic was worse than the effect. The mental model that finally made this click for me: there are two curves,…
The appetite thing was the surprise. I expected to feel full. What I got was simply not thinking about food between meals.
Same. I sat at 1.7mg for three months because it was working and there was nothing to fix.
The weekly interval comes out of the half-life — roughly a week — so you are on a smooth curve rather than a series of spikes. That is also why moving your day slightly does very little.
That figure is the 68-week trial mean, not a weekly rate. Dividing it by the weeks gives you a number that does not mean anything.
Are you measuring anything other than weight? Waist is usually the one that keeps moving.
Weight change and appetite change are different endpoints on different timescales. Conflating them is where most of the confusion on this board starts.
This matches me almost exactly, right down to the injection-site soreness showing up on the second day and being gone by the fourth.
