Highlights from this day

peak_split — down 27 since 8 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at 13:53

still_here_2024 11:26

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

taper_tess 11:43

what non scale thing surprised you most

taper_tess 11:52

taper_tess 12:09

peak_splitlab12:10

congrats

still_here_2024 12:24

while im here down 34 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win

is there a point where you stop weighing daily

peak_splitlab12:29

unrelated but nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 11 now

stable_not_volatile 12:30

the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much, i have it written down somewhere

stable_not_volatile 12:49

youre allowed to be pleased

motivation_gone 12:50

size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop, we shall see

motivation_gone 13:03

went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win

motivation_gone 13:20

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

how do you celebrate this without it being about food

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

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

stable_not_volatile 13:26

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

motivation_gone 13:48

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything

love this channel

HPLC_Hanklab13:50

peak_splitlab13:53

peak_splitlab14:16

i was down 34 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

stable_not_volatile 14:24

kept 11 of it off for 13 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

good bp move

motivation_gone 14:27

SURPASS-2 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better

impersonator_ip 15:00

well done

motivation_gone 15:05

coming back to this does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered

📈17⚠️4

impersonator_ip 15:20

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

motivation_gone 15:21

my knees stopped hurting around 39 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

thats a big drop

while im here hit 4 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going

peak_split ring fitting is the best one

motivation_gone 15:30

does the room want the numbers or just the story
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial

months not weeks

motivation_gone 15:38

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

impersonator_ip 15:40

my wedding ring fits again after 4 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight

motivation_gone thats a big drop

impersonator_ip 16:05

first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point

stable_not_volatile 16:06

keep going

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

stable_not_volatile 16:10

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

protein_floor 16:11

no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do

vial_ledger 16:14

my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it

step_one_sian 16:35

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