EE

19 down in 14 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale, for what its worth

EE

honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug

months not weeks

is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did

update on the earlier thing size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop

VB

New independent result logged — QST, lot B-0114, purity 98.1% (VendorInvestigate).

CC

resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know

FF

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

PS

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

PS

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason

a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything

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

TT

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

keep going

how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert

TT

first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust

TT

somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

TT

update on the earlier thing kept 21 of it off for 18 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

TT

week three nearly finished me and im at month 2 now, does anyone want the boring version

down 28 since 25 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at

TT

i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

TW

does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered

❤️2

the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
my knees stopped hurting around 38 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

FN

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, we shall see

TT

down 103 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine, take that with a pinch of salt

follow up my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial

CC

i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about, take that with a pinch of salt

VB
