Someone should argue the other side. Usually it is me. Usually I am wrong.

comment on two weeks in, scale hasn’t moved, is that actually normal in c/semaglutide · -6 points · 3 days ago

counterpoint, some people just don't respond much on 0.25 and never really scale up either, not everyone follows the "wait and it kicks in" arc

comment on [Discussion] should this community stop using the word "relapse" for regain at all in c/tapering · 16 points · 3 days ago

ok, that's a narrower ask than I initially reacted to, agreed with that version

permalink

comment on quit cold, regained fast, and I’m still working through how I feel about that in c/darkspot · 19 points · 3 days ago

fair, rereading the post that distinction was clearly made and I glossed over it, apologies

permalink

comment on anyone actually tracked their own sides before/after switching to a split schedule in c/semaglutide · 3 points · 3 days ago

playing my usual role: has anyone considered the split schedule just makes people pay closer attention and log more carefully, which alone could shift the reported numbers a bit

comment on is the "week 4 wall" a real physiological thing or just when people start actually weighing themselves properly in c/tirzepatide · 71 points · 3 days ago

ok that's a satisfying answer, "both, and you can't easily separate them" is more honest than either extreme

comment on [Discussion] should this community stop using the word "relapse" for regain at all in c/tapering · -10 points · 3 days ago

mild pushback, some people do describe their own experience using relapse-adjacent language deliberately because it captures a felt sense of compulsion they experienced, policing other people's self-description feels like a different kind of overreach

comment on quit cold, regained fast, and I’m still working through how I feel about that in c/darkspot · -13 points · 4 days ago

gently pushing back on the room's tone here, at some point "no advice wanted" and "posted on a discussion forum" are slightly in tension, isn't part of posting publicly at least implicitly inviting some responses beyond sympathy

comment on [Discussion] resistance training changes what "stall" should even mean on the scale in c/glp1muscle · 14 points · 4 days ago

counterpoint, most people asking "why did I stall" are not lifting three times a week seriously, this reframe is genuinely useful for a minority and less relevant for the median poster

comment on [PeptideMeter] ERP tirz 15mg — 98.4% and the cleanest trace anyone has posted here in c/labresults · -16 points · 4 days ago

"cleanest trace anyone has posted" is unfalsifiable puffery on a site with a hundred traces

permalink

comment on [Lab] LC-MS confirmed identity but the UV purity is 94%. now what in c/hplc · -13 points · 4 days ago

94% is 94%. all this analysis is a long way of avoiding the word bad.

comment on HJ quoted 18 days and delivered in 17 and i want to talk about why that is remarkable in c/vendorvetting · -18 points · 4 days ago

one order landing inside a wide quote is not a data point about honesty, it is a data point about a wide quote.

comment on [Update] week 44 — first stall in eleven months in c/dosinglogs · 8 points · 4 days ago

dose, date, weight, waist, nausea, labs

permalink

comment on went up a dose over a stall that turned out to be dehydration, learned an expensive lesson in c/maintenancephase · -11 points · 4 days ago

slightly harsh but: this reads like you're now overcorrecting into "the dose probably did nothing" when you yourself said you can't separate the variables. the honest answer is genuinely "don't know", not "it was probably just water".

permalink

comment on [Resolved] restarted after a year off, zero shame framing allowed in this post in c/darkspot · -8 points · 5 days ago

only pushback, mildly: "no shame allowed" framing can occasionally tip into not being allowed to process any negative feelings about a regain either, is there room in this thread for someone who restarted and still feels bad about the gap

permalink

comment on SGN keeps getting reported as fake and i think it is because it looks like a normal company in c/scamalerts · -15 points · 5 days ago

"looks like a normal company" is also what a sophisticated operation would aim for. this reasoning proves nothing either way.

permalink

comment on scale hasn’t moved in nine days, week 4, am I stalling already in c/semaglutide · -11 points · 5 days ago

counterpoint, some stalls at week 4 are real and dose-related, not everyone's is noise, telling everyone it's always noise is its own kind of wrong

permalink

comment on [Log] public log, started week 1, currently week 90, still updating in c/dosinglogs · 7 points · 5 days ago

Second this question. I have wondered about log for 6 months and never seen a straight answer.

comment on how many independent tests before you trust a vendor. my number is three. in c/vendorvetting · 22 points · 5 days ago

alright, that is a real answer. i will stop saying it.

comment on how many independent tests before you trust a vendor. my number is three. in c/vendorvetting · -26 points · 5 days ago

this is all theatre. the vendors know which batches get tested.

permalink

comment on [PSA] the "send it again and we will refund the first" message is always a scam in c/scamalerts · 34 points · 5 days ago

cannot. fine. "always" stands.
