Canada: dose history, and what it actually costs here
Week 4 update. 40kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 56.
Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.
The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.
Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.
best — the order this archive was captured in
one log per person, update it, do not repost

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
consistency is harder than the dose change
I am going to push back on this slightly.
update rather than repost, 6 people doing this

the 16 month update is the real test
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
Which country? Half the answers in this thread only apply in Canada.
This is correct. Long-term logs matter.
This is correct.
Adding to this: weekly update is doing more work than the comment implies.
Yeah, the consistency is the value.

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.
Genuine question — what concentration were you at?
dose, date, weight, waist, muscle cramps, labs
Stalled for 9 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 48.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
the 20 week mark is where it gets interesting
