no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do, not advice obviously

EM

repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in

KF

does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device

slightly off topic but the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance, i have it written down somewhere
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

kept 26 of it off for 9 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

QH

i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny

love this channel

HH

congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother

QH

cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night

i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

HH

i was down 39 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available

TT

SELECT reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going

QH

down 60 and my resting heart rate dropped 8 bpm, related or not
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

genuine question a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it

TT

genuine question anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself

TT

does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered

how long did it take before you believed it was actually working

9

down 15 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine

my wedding ring fits again after 25 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight

TT

how do you celebrate this without it being about food
