what changed for me between week 70 and week 18
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 6 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have injection-site soreness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 50 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.
This is a good question, genuinely.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway
what is a COA — certificate of analysis, document from the lab
what is bac water — bacteriostatic water, preservative included

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 30 weeks to accept.
rudeness is removed faster than bad questions
link the wiki instead of retyping, but politely
Yeah, that is totally normal for week 6.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
Week 20 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 20.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
Week 22 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 22.
