Highlights from this day
- seven_five_sweet — honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug 21:57
- taper_or_not — i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny, thats one data point 22:22
- month_six_me — down 100 and my resting heart rate dropped 7 bpm, related or not 22:39
- month_six_me — somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly 22:44
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was

please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
still here at month 14
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting, your mileage will differ

SURPASS-2 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, ask me again in a month
half a stone in 23 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
coming back after 2 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
down 61 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 5 now

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny, thats one data point
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
well done
down 100 and my resting heart rate dropped 7 bpm, related or not

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls, not advice obviously
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
thats not showing off
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
blood pressure went from 148 over 94 to 124 over 78 across about a year and my gp took me off one of the two tablets
thats brilliant

*that should say weekly
thats a big drop
right so a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
is there a point where you stop weighing daily
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
