One concrete data point for the thread. The boring version of this is the one that works, and the boring version is: measure a baseline, change one variable, wait, measure again under the same conditions. Nobody wants that answer and it is still the answer.

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

Whether anyone has held 10mg long term rather than climbing, and what happened over the following year?

Pushing back on raj_cambridge here. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.

Worth separating that from tirzepatide, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

Agreed, and one caution: a single measurement is not a measurement. Anything that moves day to day needs a trend before it means anything at all.

Closing the loop on my own question.

Update: the eight-week restart pattern people described is exactly what happened. I nearly abandoned it at week five.
