*that should say weekly
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
i nearly quit too
my wedding ring fits again after 2 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
brilliant a1c
[edited]🙏1🧊9
half a stone in 31 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening, i have it written down somewhere
months not weeks
down 69 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
quick one resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know, n of 1 obviously
kept 47 of it off for 15 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
well done
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
the stairs thing yeah
i was down 22 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do
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, n of 1 obviously
good bp move
follow up 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, from memory

ring fitting is the best one
😂9🔥17
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
while im here careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
keep going
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win, not advice obviously
ok so went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
my knees stopped hurting around 41 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

down 36 since 12 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
congrats
youre allowed to be pleased
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do, thats one data point
30 down in 2 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
🔥3
ok so i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
19 down in 3 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did

for the archive i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls, anyway
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
