Highlights from this day
- mhra_unlicensed — i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything 11:10
- evidence_or_not — went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win 12:51
- week_three_wall — what non scale thing surprised you most 16:27
- mhra_unlicensed — bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting 16:45
- cold_chain_cmdr — 17 down in 13 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale 17:51

months not weeks
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
good bp move
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available, n of 1 obviously
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about, ask me again in a month
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
keep going
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny

half a stone in 33 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
kept 30 of it off for 16 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
well done
STEP 4 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
[edited]right so anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
[edited]careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two, n of 1 obviously
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me, your mileage will differ
brilliant a1c

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother

cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
hit 35 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it, your mileage will differ
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off

the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
ring fitting is the best one
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
love this channel
down 4 since 10 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
for the archive i was down 19 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
[edited]what non scale thing surprised you most

is there a point where you stop weighing daily

the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
thats not showing off
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting

thats a big drop

how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night, not advice obviously
New independent result logged — CPC, lot KP-0925, purity 98.1% (Janoshik).
update on the earlier thing my wedding ring fits again after 23 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
sorry to jump in slow is fine
17 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
*Medutest not the other one
thats brilliant
quick one 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
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
ok so how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it
