- drawup_dee — no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do 16:17

the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls, from memory
25 down in 14 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
week three nearly finished me and im at month 9 now, does anyone want the boring version
half a stone in 13 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
does the room want the numbers or just the story

i was down 42 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
[edited]update on the earlier thing down 103 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine, ask me again in a month
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do

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
coming back to this cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
coming back after 24 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
kept 48 of it off for 26 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
congrats

i nearly quit too

is there a point where you stop weighing daily
right so my wedding ring fits again after 14 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it, n of 1 obviously
thats not showing off
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
Reminder set. I will post here in 2 days.
sorry to jump in repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
ring fitting is the best one

10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
