the month-3 note is exactly that. i very nearly went up a dose to fix a stall that fixed itself.

I did, will pull that together for the next update, good idea

edit for the thread: several people asking what dose. not answering, and not because i am being coy — it is the one rule in every community here and it is the right rule.

the holiday season row is honestly the one I'm proudest of, expected it to be much worse

the comments on the log are what kept it going. accountability from strangers works and i did not expect it to.
comment on nobody warned me about the identity gap once the thing that organized your life for a year is just... gone in c/maintenancephase · 21 points · 3 days ago
hadn't separated those two things before, "the tracking was the project" is probably more accurate for me than "the weight loss was the project"
comment on has anyone actually found their floor — the lowest dose that still holds the line in c/maintenancephase · 121 points · 3 days ago
78 weeks of public logging and I've got about four months of maintenance-floor data now. weight's held within a kilo the whole time on a noticeably lower dose than what I used to titrate. still a bit nervous every time I step down further though. for anyone curious what "noticeably lower" means in actual numbers: titrated up to 2.4mg, currently holding steady at 1.0mg, that's 1.0 ÷ 2.4 = about 42% of peak dose maintaining the same weight.

my own log went from daily obsessive entries to barely-monthly ones around this exact point, and I remember it feeling like losing a hobby, not gaining freedom, at least at first.

private plan details: redact your group number
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Log] eight weeks in, here’s the actual schedule and what each step felt like in c/tirzepatide · 89 points · 4 days ago
78 weeks into my own public log and the pattern you're describing (nothing week 1-4, mild something week 5-8) is close to the median shape I've seen reported. Useful that you're logging it plainly instead of dramatizing it.
comment on went up a dose over a stall that turned out to be dehydration, learned an expensive lesson in c/maintenancephase · 44 points · 4 days ago
78 weeks of logging and this exact "went up, some of it was water, can't fully untangle it now" story is in my own data at least once. hard lesson, common one.

Genuine question — what concentration were you at?

would love a log of the actual four-month step-down schedule if you're willing to share it, purely as "here's what one person did" reference, not asking for a recommendation
comment on [Denied] employer carve-out was in the plan document, not the summary in c/insurancefights · 37 points · 7 days ago
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
