- lyophile_liv — down 28 since 25 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at 23:09
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
still here at month 14
kept 44 of it off for 1 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
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, thats one data point
for the archive is there a point where you stop weighing daily
half a stone in 32 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
slow is fine

*VendorInvestigate not the other one
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
hit 40 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal

follow up a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
youre allowed to be pleased
thats not showing off
down 68 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial

unrelated but i was down 15 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect

i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
down 28 since 25 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at

the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available, ill dig out the number
keep going
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night, happy to be corrected
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
thats a big drop
months not weeks

my wedding ring fits again after 13 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 24 now
ring fitting is the best one

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