Highlights from this day
i was down 29 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
week three nearly finished me and im at month 5 now, does anyone want the boring version
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
ring fitting is the best one
14 down in 15 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale, i have it written down somewhere
ok so i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
what non scale thing surprised you most
👍7💀2
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
months not weeks
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
does the room want the numbers or just the story
congrats

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
still here at month 14
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was

update on the earlier thing i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did

thats the win
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
my knees stopped hurting around 4 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
coming back after 24 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
FLOW reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
thats a big drop
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance

thats not showing off
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did, from memory

down 8 and my resting heart rate dropped 7 bpm, related or not
kept 26 of it off for 14 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
well done
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
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 milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
unrelated but went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
