my knees stopped hurting around 18 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, thats one data point
#wins 2025-04-22
- never_for_sale — 22 down in 21 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale 10:56
- panel_before_after — update on the earlier thing down 56 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win 11:24
- panel_before_after — i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before… 11:46
- quiet.hours — coming back after 22 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody 15:06
update on the earlier thing somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
thats not showing off
slow is fine
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
thats the win
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it
quick one the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
22 down in 21 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
coming back to this hit 21 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
sorry to jump in congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
SELECT reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
update on the earlier thing down 56 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust

youre allowed to be pleased
does the room want the numbers or just the story
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 7 now, i think
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
thats a big drop
unrelated but resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win, ask me again in a month
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
i was down 23 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure, we shall see
brilliant a1c
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
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
down 86 and my resting heart rate dropped 3 bpm, related or not
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night, i could be wrong
i nearly quit too
coming back after 22 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
what non scale thing surprised you most
a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
