Highlights from this day
- thirty_one_g — unrelated but 10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month 19:57

- VialBot — New independent result logged — MKM, lot F-1330, purity 98.1% (PeptideMeter). 21:23
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
down 9 and my resting heart rate dropped 4 bpm, related or not
brilliant a1c
youre allowed to be pleased

my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
[edited]unrelated but down 57 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
while im here does the room want the numbers or just the story

unrelated but the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much, i could be wrong

the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
kept 20 of it off for 15 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
well done
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
slow is fine
[edited]i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win

follow up somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
my wedding ring fits again after 17 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

i was down 9 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure, take that with a pinch of salt
i nearly quit too

the stairs thing yeah
down 96 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
for the archive how do you celebrate this without it being about food
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 2 now
