goal weight is the most under-discussed thing on this board
goal weight is the most under-discussed thing on this board. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here.
Been at maintenance for 14 months on 1.0mg. Nothing happens. That is the whole report and it took me a while to accept it as success.
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 82, before I needed it. Having decided in advance made the transition boring.
Screenshot none of this. Read the whole thread, including the parts where I am told I am wrong.

Maintenance is the phase with the least published guidance and the most individual variation, which is precisely why board consensus here is worth less than usual.
Dose reduction and interval extension are different interventions. Halving the dose keeps the rhythm and lowers the level; stretching keeps the level and lowers the frequency, with a lower trough.
Agreed that a few kilos of drift is ordinary. Weight is not a fixed number even for people who have never taken anything.
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.
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, not a personal failure
That is a range, not a trend. Two weigh-ins 17 days apart cannot distinguish them.
