Highlights from this day
- split_dose_sam — update on the earlier thing i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny 18:17
- thirty_one_g — ok so down 94 and my resting heart rate dropped 7 bpm, related or not 19:49
- still_here_2024 — my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial, still working it out 21:00
- two_three_lifts — genuine question a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything 21:08
thats the win

love this channel
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 17 now, your mileage will differ
unrelated but repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
🙏2
still here at month 14
months not weeks
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
ring fitting is the best one
brilliant a1c
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
good bp move

congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
well done
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
slow is fine
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
⚠️8
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
slightly off topic but the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available, thats just me
❤️3🙏8📈1
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
🤝1😂14
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
❤️3💀5
congrats

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
12 down in 16 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
the stairs thing yeah
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
coming back to this does the room want the numbers or just the story
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
STEP 1 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
coming back after 24 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
what non scale thing surprised you most
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
[edited]down 26 since 9 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
[edited]ok so down 94 and my resting heart rate dropped 7 bpm, related or not

youre allowed to be pleased
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial, still working it out
🧪10✅14📈10
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
genuine question a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
