while im here the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance

week three nearly finished me and im at month 20 now, does anyone want the boring version
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone

10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month, ill dig out the number

does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
what non scale thing surprised you most
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
i was down 3 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
brilliant a1c
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
slightly off topic but half a stone in 10 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
*week 30 not week 4

repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
down 95 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
coming back after 9 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
well done
