small win: food noise stopped being a problem at week 62
small win: food noise stopped being a problem at week 62. Full detail below, and I have tried to keep the editorialising out of it.
Sat at 1.0mg for four months because it was doing the job. Everyone told me to go up. The one time I did, the only thing that changed was the nausea.
Kept a log from week one and the single most useful column turned out to be waist, not weight.
I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The weekly interval comes out of the half-life — roughly a week — so you are on a smooth curve rather than a series of spikes. That is also why moving your day slightly does very little.
Yes. Week 68 is when almost everybody writes the "is it still working" post, and almost everybody is fine.
Removed the dose recommendation. You can describe what you did; you cannot tell somebody else what to take.
Research-use-only material is not approved for human use, so anything in this thread about how a compounded or research vial "should" behave is a chemistry discussion, not a dosing one.
STEP-1 averaged just under 15% at 68 weeks, so a 10% year is not a failure
Does injection-site soreness track the day after the shot, or is it there all week?
Genuine question — is the appetite effect still there, or is it just the scale that has paused?
My stall was eleven weeks. Eleven. Then it moved again without me changing anything at all.
Did protein intake change in the same window?
Week 18: 5kg down, nausea basically gone since about week 9, and the honest headline is that nothing dramatic happened. It was boring and it worked.
