goal — my 13-week log, condensed into one table

Struggle Long Haul ×6 Sourced ×2 Clean Column ×1

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/bloodwork repeats that struggle is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 9 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Strongly agree. NSV counts.

Stalled for 15 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 35.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 65 weeks to accept.

What are you comparing it against though?

This is correct. Process matters more than the number.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

u/maren_ibarra29 points·2 years ago

Slight fix: the number was 99.3, not 93.7. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Adding to this: milestone is doing more work than the comment implies.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

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

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Came off after 36 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

About c/progresspics

Progress posts with no images, by design. Starting point, current point, timeframe, dose history, what changed besides the scale. Text-only removes the comparison trap, the body-shaming pile-on and the entire question of who owns a photo of your torso.
