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

Highlights from this day
- salt_bridge — slightly off topic but my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same 20:35
- panel_before_after — the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was 20:57
- split_the_cost — i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about 22:44
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did, i could be wrong
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

well done

SURMOUNT-OSA reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, from memory

is there a point where you stop weighing daily
sorry to jump in 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
what non scale thing surprised you most
down 8 and my resting heart rate dropped 2 bpm, related or not
unrelated but i was down 43 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
[edited]the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
unrelated but went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
thats the win

coming back to this is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
youre allowed to be pleased
brilliant a1c
unrelated but does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
coming back after 25 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
months not weeks
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny, your mileage will differ

congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
