Highlights from this day
- off_by_ten — i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything 16:59
- off_by_ten — first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point 17:00
- verify_or_dont — the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was kept 7 of it off for 8 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of 17:08
- void_volume — the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much 17:55
genuine question size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part

love this channel

keep going
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial, n of 1 obviously
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
follow up half a stone in 11 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening, ask me again in a month
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
ok so week three nearly finished me and im at month 21 now, does anyone want the boring version
my wedding ring fits again after 7 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
youre allowed to be pleased

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
ring fitting is the best one
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
thats the win
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
well done
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
my knees stopped hurting around 5 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, your mileage will differ
still here at month 14
for the archive how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
[edited]please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
slow is fine
