Max does YOU tried?

I don’t have much to lose at all. Just stubborn weight that I couldn’t shift. I think it’s a steady/healthy rate for me.

Like that stubborn pinch of waist or belly fat?

No, still belly fat, but I wasn’t massively overweight. BMI was always towards the higher end of ‘normal’.

I’m hardly in a crisis, just looking for intellectual exchange without the drone of the low and slow hand wringers.

I thing we share a similar sentiment regarding dosing.

I would like to know your opinion on staying at doses like 4-6mg until they lose effectiveness vs titrating at the one month mark.

I started at 1mg/3 days and am currently at 2mg/3 days, so 4.66mg per week. I titrated up by 2mg after the first month, and I think that was the right call.

I've been at 4.66 for nearly a month now and I still find it to be quite effective, in fact I'm struggling to eat anywhere close to maintainence even when I want to.

How did you titrate, and do you think it's a good idea to wait until things die down a bit suppression wise or to keep blindly titrating every month? My instinct is telling me to hold at 4.66 until it loses some efficacy. I suspect I will know when the time is right.

I remember my dad going through his midlife crisis after the divorce desperately trying to cut that pinch of fat. Poor guy was eating mixing bowl after mixing bowl of cabbage and saurkraut, trying to afford vegetables for us to juice, cans of spinach and turnip greens. Kept working his abs hoping it would make them come through.

It looked like absolute torture. I'm so glad that 15 years later we have the technology to pull all of this off.

I did 2-4mg for 4weeks and stayed on 6mg for 7 weeks till no changes that last week. Went to 7 for 2 weeks, losing again. Just went to 8mg, so we'll see on Friday. I've had zero side effects in about 2 weeks. Must be used to it. No heart burn at night when I lay down.
