[Results] 96 weeks on 2.4mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring

Results Receipts ×3 Well Actually ×1 Sourced ×2

Been lurking in c/retatrutide for about 19 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 61, 0.25mg, and lowest effective dose is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 19 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 67.

Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works

the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

weight moves within 6kg and that is normal

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.
