[Struggle] regained 6kg over a winter and i am posting it anyway

Struggle Well Actually ×6

Been lurking in c/customs for about 3 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 69, 12.5mg, and timeframe is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 15 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 63.

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

starting point, current point, timeframe, dose history

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

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 8–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

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

Week 21 for me and the honest summary is: 24kg down, fatigue manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 20 weeks to accept.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

Came off after 57 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
