small win: titration stopped being a problem at week 41
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.
The claim: semaglutide matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 7 months without either producing anything.
What would actually settle it is 5 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.
If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Week 48 for me and the honest summary is: 18kg down, sulphur burps manageable, and the quiet happened around week 18.
Tried the split-dose thing for 23 weeks. Felt slightly smoother, lost at exactly the same rate. Went back to weekly.

Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.
Stalled at 1.7mg, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 83. Very nearly went up. Glad I did not.
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on

Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
okay but what dose of sema are you on
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price

the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
Kept a public log for 37 weeks. The comments are what kept it going, honestly. Accountability from strangers works.
stalled at 2.4mg, went up, and regretted it, the stall would have broken anyway
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
How long were you at 15mg before you moved up?
Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
This is what I tell everyone in c/newbiequestions and they never believe me until week 9.
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.
titration speed is titration plus side effects, period
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens.
Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.
Not to be pedantic but plateau and plateau are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
