stalled for 14 weeks at 12.5mg and I refuse to panic this time
Something I keep coming back to: stalled for 14 weeks at 12.5mg and I refuse to panic this time.
To save the first four comments: 14 weeks and 12.5mg.
Chased the scale instead of the measurements for a year and made myself miserable for no additional progress.
Accused the wrong party publicly and it was my storage. Correcting it here was the most uncomfortable post I have made and the right one.
Not medical advice, obviously, and nothing here is approved for human use. One person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Nothing here is medical advice, and the honest version of most of these posts is that they describe consequences rather than causes.
This. Correcting a wrong accusation in public is the hardest and most valuable post anybody makes here.
This.
Adding the thing that would have caught it earliest — buy small and test before committing.
I would not generalise from one bad month to a rule. The rest of your process sounds fine.
Gently disagree with the self-blame. What you describe is a procedural gap, and the procedure was not written down anywhere for you to follow.
Stopped for financial reasons and regained most of it. Not a moral story, just a budget and a documented outcome.
this board exists so the failures are on the record too

Disagreeing with the self-blame in this line. Some of it is luck and treating everything as a lesson is its own trap.
the thing that went wrong is usually procedural, not dramatic
Cosigning that going too fast is the most repeated regret on the whole site.
Where a supplier has no independent testing on file, that is a statement about the evidence and not about their conduct. Saying it the second way is how this board would stop being useful.
Agreed — somebody is at exactly the point you were at, reading this, and it will land differently for them than any success story.
Lost money to a shop that had nothing verifiable on file anywhere. Posting so that somebody searching that name finds this.
somebody will read this at the point you were at, and it will help
the fridge failure story happens every summer
Ignored something for four days that I should have asked about on day one. That is the only genuine regret in my whole run.
the regret is usually about pace, not about the decision
What would you do differently, specifically?

yusuf_achebe is right that it was procedural. The procedure was not written down anywhere for you to follow.
Right, and stopping for money reasons is not a failure of anything. It is a budget.
log it while it is fresh, memory tidies things up
Small correction — the shop in that story has no independent testing on file at all, which is different from having a bad record.
