  • verify_or_dont — quick one down 98 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win 15:38

  • travel_cooler — the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part 15:55
PS

careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

29 down in 25 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale, ill dig out the number

still here at month 14

my knees stopped hurting around 4 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

coming back to this i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

brilliant a1c

repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in

months not weeks

VO

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
kept 9 of it off for 20 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting

VO

i was down 28 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

quick one down 98 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win

anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself

genuine question honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug

VO

congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother

does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered

does the room want the numbers or just the story

is there a point where you stop weighing daily

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