genuine question about goal weight that I am slightly embarrassed to ask
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking maintenance against triglycerides for 9 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here. Caveats up front: one person, one lab,…
Mechanistically the bit that matters is lowest effective dose. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
Maintenance for 9 months now. 0.5mg every 3 days, weight 42±9kg. Found the rhythm.
the long term question changes at maintenance

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 79 weeks to accept.
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
Tried the lowest-effective approach. 2.4mg worked for 19 weeks, then cravings returned. 1.0mg was the actual floor.
Tried the lowest-effective approach.
Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
This is correct. Weight variance is normal at maintenance.
dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with dose stretching, not with what you concluded.
