[Regret] chased the scale instead of the labs for a year
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 0.25mg, week 34, injection-site soreness present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — below spec — and tracked it for 18 weeks.
Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.
Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Week 21 for me and the honest summary is: 40kg down, muscle cramps manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
decisions people would not make again
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
no piling on, mistake posts are favours to the community
Second this question. I have wondered about failure for 4 months and never seen a straight answer.
Small correction: the trial was 6 weeks, not 9. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 14–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
The constipation was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
What are you comparing it against though?
side effects that ended someone's run

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
Not to be pedantic but stopped and below spec are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
This is correct. Evidence still required.
Small correction: the trial was 23 weeks, not 14. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
