A stall in progress: distinguishing adaptive thermogenesis from measurement error from adherence drift, how long to observe before changing anything, and whether a plateau is evidence that a dose step is needed.
Months two through six were the quietest my head has been about food since childhood. Around month seven it started coming back, and now at month nine it is maybe 40%…
Numbers first: a GLP-1 receptor agonist · sixteen weeks. I would rather over-plan the first cycle and simplify later. I am prepared to do the work if someone can tell…
Month five, semaglutide 1.7 mg, and the scale has not moved in five weeks. Before that I was averaging about 0.5 kg a week fairly reliably. I am now at 88.1 kg from a…
What I have: survodutide · four weeks. The failure mode I am trying to avoid is making this decision emotionally. I have twelve months in view and I would like the…
Details up front: dulaglutide · two weeks. I am trying to build something sustainable rather than something thorough that I will abandon. I have already decided the…
I am on tirzepatide 10 mg and have been flat for seven weeks. The reflex answer everywhere is "titrate up", and 12.5 and 15 mg exist, so the option is there. But I…
Concretely: ecnoglutide · four weeks. The failure mode I am trying to avoid is making this decision emotionally. I have twelve months in view and I would like the…
Details up front: cagrilintide · six weeks. This is a planning question. I know what my options are; I do not know how to weigh them. What I want is the minimum…
What I am working with: tirzepatide · ten weeks. I would like to define my thresholds before I have a result, for obvious reasons. I want a plan with explicit…
I am training twice a week and would rather optimise that than add a third session. I can do the algebra. I am not confident about the conversion factors. If there is…
What I am working with: oral semaglutide · ten weeks. I would like to define my thresholds before I have a result, for obvious reasons. I want a plan with explicit…
Nine weeks flat at 71.6 kg, from a start of 94 kg. Semaglutide 2.4 mg, month fourteen. Intake weighed, not estimated, at 1,650 kcal. Steps averaging 9,400. Three…
Details up front: retatrutide · eight weeks. I would like to set this up properly once, rather than adjust it repeatedly. My budget is real but not tight, and my…
Two related mechanism questions I have never seen answered together. First, how much of the weight loss is attributable to delayed gastric emptying as opposed to…
What I have: mazdutide · sixteen weeks. I would rather over-plan the first cycle and simplify later. I am prepared to do the work if someone can tell me which work…
What I am working with: tirzepatide · three weeks. I am at the decision point and I would rather think it through than improvise. I would rather spend money on…
The trend is what I care about; individual weeks are obviously noise. I have a result I cannot explain, and I would rather diagnose it than guess. I have checked the…
What I am working with: ecnoglutide · twelve weeks. I want to decide this in advance so that I am not deciding it under pressure later. Assume I will follow the plan…

Details up front: survodutide · twelve weeks. I want to decide this in advance so that I am not deciding it under pressure later. Assume I will follow the plan I…
Scale weight, waist circumference and a repetition maximum, all logged weekly. I want to know whether this is a real physical effect or an artefact of how it is…
I have kept a symptom diary against dose dates, which turns out to have been the useful thing. The empirical answer seems settled. The explanation does not. If the…
