does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered

is there a point where you stop weighing daily

cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night

size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop

Batch lookup F-1330: 7 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-12-08.

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

thats brilliant

the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was

still here at month 14

my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial, n of 1 obviously

i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

well done

thats the win

coming back after 15 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody

slow is fine

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny

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

*Medutest not the other one

down 17 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win

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

my wedding ring fits again after 2 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight

somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

down 47 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine

what non scale thing surprised you most

my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same

genuine question please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it, i could be wrong
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know

youre allowed to be pleased

the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

how do you celebrate this without it being about food

i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going

kept 8 of it off for 8 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

the stairs thing yeah

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

how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
half a stone in 29 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening

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

quick one hit 7 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal

brilliant a1c

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

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

congrats
