Highlights from this day
- thirty_one_g — bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting 11:23
- thirty_one_g — the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going 11:37
- ten_of_ten — does the room want the numbers or just the story my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial 14:11
slightly off topic but i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
hit 41 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
genuine question nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 11 now, someone check my working
brilliant a1c

down 21 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do, i think
is there a point where you stop weighing daily
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
down 39 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
my wedding ring fits again after 16 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
down 23 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
coming back after 17 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
thats not showing off
STEP 1 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything

cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
the stairs thing yeah
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
ok so down 8 since 10 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
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
thats the win
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
slow is fine
does the room want the numbers or just the story
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
good bp move
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust, someone check my working
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
congrats
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
[edited]10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me, n of 1 obviously
what non scale thing surprised you most
my knees stopped hurting around 5 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
🧊2
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did
thats a big drop

i was down 44 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
