Highlights from this day
- week_three_wall — SURMOUNT-OSA reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better down 64 total and about half of that came in the first… 21:50
- lot_number_lou — bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting 22:43
- lot_number_lou — i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about 23:21
keep going

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
ok so is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did
months not weeks
good bp move
slightly off topic but careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two, ymmv
still here at month 14
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
SURMOUNT-OSA reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
down 64 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
📉16👀3
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
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
👀2❤️8
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
📈9
a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
*that should say weekly
week three nearly finished me and im at month 9 now, does anyone want the boring version
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
🧊2📉18
genuine question the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part, n of 1 obviously
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
Testing queue: 9 submissions open, 88 awaiting dispatch.
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
love this channel
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it, ask me again in a month
❤️15
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available, thats one data point
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
*Medutest not the other one
down 15 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
👍14📉4
i was down 34 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
slow is fine
🔥11😂8
down 44 since 7 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
4 down in 10 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
📉6
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
🙏5
update on the earlier thing my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
🧊1🧪14
thats not showing off
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop, still working it out
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
📉15😂2🔥2
my knees stopped hurting around 42 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
*that should say weekly
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 1 now, i think
30 down in 13 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny, we shall see
half a stone in 23 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
the stairs thing yeah
i nearly quit too
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
💀11😂1🧪6
down 13 and my resting heart rate dropped 6 bpm, related or not
does the room want the numbers or just the story
down 63 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
congrats
what non scale thing surprised you most
ring fitting is the best one
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug, ill dig out the number
