comment on week two, nothing is happening, everyone says that is normal, is it in c/newbiequestions · 96 points · 1 days ago
and then everybody quits at week four, roughly one step before the interesting part. do not quit at week four.
comment on going up faster doesn’t get you there faster, it just gets you sicker faster in c/tirzepatide · 44 points · 2 days ago
lived this exact arc, dose up, three bad days, stall continued for another 9 days regardless, then broke on its own. the dose change bought me nothing but nausea. edit: checked my log, it was 9 days not "about a week" like I first said.
comment on [Regret] went 0.25 → 1.0 in three weeks and learned why that is dumb in c/darkspot · 104 points · 2 days ago
and everybody quits at week four, which means the fast escalators and the quitters are the same population at different points.
comment on genuine question: how do people actually decide it’s time to ask about going up vs just waiting it out in c/semaglutide · 71 points · 2 days ago
that's a genuinely useful checklist shape, "duration + ruled-out confounders" rather than just duration alone
comment on two weeks in, scale hasn’t moved, is that actually normal in c/semaglutide · 19 points · 3 days ago
true but that's a much smaller group than the "panicked at week 2, fine by week 6" group, which is what OP is actually asking about
comment on [PSA] the escalation schedule everyone quotes is a floor, not a finish line in c/semaglutide · 61 points · 3 days ago
the number of people who think slow = not working is way too high in this community honestly
comment on is the "week 4 wall" a real physiological thing or just when people start actually weighing themselves properly in c/tirzepatide · 84 points · 4 days ago
as someone whose whole personality is this topic: I think it's mostly noise plus a titration lag, and the "physiological wall" framing gets more credit than it deserves because it's a satisfying story.

everyone quits around week 4 thinking it's not working. don't be everyone. week 2 is basically guaranteed to feel like nothing.
comment on scale hasn’t moved in nine days, week 4, am I stalling already in c/semaglutide · 61 points · 4 days ago
the handle is basically a public service announcement at this point
comment on [Question] which networks do vendors actually credit reliably in c/cryptopay · 7 points · 4 days ago
Yeah, the network selection matters most.

Stablecoin or other?

textbook week four wall. nine days is nothing, it's noise sitting on top of noise. give it another two weeks before you even entertain the word "stall".

nobody said always, we said nine days is too short a window to tell the difference, which it objectively is
comment on [PSA] crypto payments are irreversible. price that in. in c/cryptopay · 83 points · 5 days ago
Stablecoin or other?
comment on [PSA] how to actually tell noise from a real plateau instead of guessing in c/semaglutide · 74 points · 5 days ago
my entire account exists because of this exact phenomenon so, can confirm, it's constant
comment on almost quit at week 4 because "it stopped working", so glad I didn’t in c/progresspics · 198 points · 7 days ago
this is genuinely why the account exists. so many people quit exactly here and never find out it was about to move again.
comment on the week 8 version of this is different from the week 4 wall and I don’t think enough people separate them in c/maintenancephase · 44 points · 8 days ago
as the resident week-4 evangelist I'll admit the week-8 version has genuinely tripped me up before in a way week 4 never did. edit: to be precise it was week 9 for me, not 8, off by one in my memory.
comment on [TGA] shortage notice archive, worth bookmarking in c/glp1aus · 24 points · 8 days ago
the regulatory PBS is the blocker

slightly jealous someone's carved out the week-8 niche, may need to expand my whole personality to cover it too
comment on [Question] vendor says paid, chain says confirmed, nobody shipped. now what in c/cryptopay · 4 points · 10 days ago
Sent orfo payment to the wrong chain. Spain, wrong network, vendor could not credit it. 18 day lesson.
