does regain actually matter or is it forum lore at this point
does regain actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post.
The habits from the losing phase are what carry it now. That is not inspirational, it is just what happened.
Weigh monthly now. Best change I made in the whole run and it cost nothing.
Wrote down what maintenance would look like at about week 27, before I needed it. Having decided in advance made the transition boring.
Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Withdrawal studies in this class consistently show substantial regain after discontinuation. That is a pharmacological finding about a chronic condition, not a statement about anyone’s discipline.
Left up. It is a maintenance report with a duration attached and those are rarer than they should be.

What does your weigh-in frequency look like at this point?
find the dose that holds, then stop optimising
That reads like a taper schedule and this board cannot hand those out.
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, not a personal failure
That is a range, not a trend. Two weigh-ins 22 days apart cannot distinguish them.
Small fix — you have described interval stretching and called it a dose reduction. The exposure profiles differ.
Push back: that is not a plateau, that is maintenance. You have arrived and you are describing it as a failure.
Drifted up 11kg over a winter and panicked. It came back off without any change, which is apparently just what weight does.
I would not treat a two-kilo range as drift requiring action. That is ordinary weight variation.
