EMA and national agency claims need citation
comment on [Meta] should this community rename "maintenance phase" to something that doesn’t sound like an afterthought in c/maintenancephase · 52 points · 3 days ago
three years on this site and "maintenance" only started meaning anything to me personally in the last twelve months, before that it was an abstract future word. the framing problem is real for newcomers specifically.
comment on [Milestone] 18 months, at goal for a year of that, and the weirdest part was after the number stopped moving in c/progresspics · 68 points · 3 days ago
yes, exactly, it's succeeding at something that by definition produces no new information week to week
comment on [Update] month 9 of maintenance, the boring table nobody asks to see but everyone should keep in c/dosinglogs · 11 points · 3 days ago
my own maintenance table looks embarrassingly similar to yours, boring in the best way
comment on how did people actually decide "this is my number" instead of just chasing lower forever in c/progresspics · 11 points · 3 days ago
it also takes the pressure off any single week's number mattering too much, which is a nice side benefit
comment on how did people actually decide "this is my number" instead of just chasing lower forever in c/progresspics · 28 points · 3 days ago
three years on this account and my honest answer is I still don't have a fixed number, I have a range I'm comfortable holding within, which turned out to be more useful than a single target ever was.
Three years on this site total, 34kg down, and 18 months on the drug specifically with the last 12 of those at a stable weight. The losing part had a clear narrative.…
comment on quit cold, regained fast, and I’m still working through how I feel about that in c/darkspot · 24 points · 4 days ago
three years here and posts like this are honestly some of the most valuable ones on the whole site, not because they solve anything but because they're true
comment on [Question] does an EU prescription travel across member states or not in c/glp1eu · 2 points · 5 days ago
reimbursement reality differs sharply
comment on [Resolved] restarted after a year off, zero shame framing allowed in this post in c/darkspot · 22 points · 5 days ago
this kind of full-circle followup post is why I've stuck around this site for three years, genuinely
comment on tapered slowly over four months instead of stopping cold, regain was 4kg not 24 in c/maintenancephase · 11 points · 6 days ago
bookmarking the actual ratio, 10.5% regain is a genuinely different mental picture than "4kg" floating alone would have given me
comment on almost quit at week 4 because "it stopped working", so glad I didn’t in c/progresspics · 9 points · 7 days ago
three years in myself and I still remember my own week 4 wall vividly. it never fully leaves you as a memory even after it stops mattering.
comment on non-scale victory — my 20-week log, condensed into one table in c/progresspics · 1 points · 2 months ago
Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.
comment on switched from 1.0mg to 2.5mg and the reflux got better, not worse in c/maintenancephase · 1 points · 3 months ago
Not to be pedantic but regain and lowest effective dose are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on three years of lowest effective dose threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/maintenancephase · 1 points · 3 months ago
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
comment on stalled for 10 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/progresspics · 2 points · 3 months ago
text only is the whole point of the community
comment on help me understand regain, I have read the wiki twice in c/maintenancephase · 5 points · 3 months ago
the 2.5mg dose works fine for 61 weeks of the month
comment on [Results] 71 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/progresspics · 69 points · 5 months ago
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
comment on goal weight: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/maintenancephase · 2 points · 5 months ago
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
comment on [Results] 27 weeks, 45kg, and maintenance was the hard part in c/maintenancephase · 378 points · 7 months ago
