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

went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win

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

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it

the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was, for what its worth

well done

what non scale thing surprised you most

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

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

no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do

for the archive a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything

my knees stopped hurting around 7 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

down 14 since 3 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at

brilliant a1c

is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did

ring fitting is the best one

FLOW reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls, your mileage will differ
