Highlights from this day
- quiet_head_qi — the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going 18:04
- karl_fischer — cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it 19:04
- belfast_bac — 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 20:25
my knees stopped hurting around 22 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

unrelated but 10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
SURPASS-2 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
[edited]i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
unrelated but does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do, n of 1 obviously
Testing queue: 8 submissions open, 138 awaiting dispatch.
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
my knees stopped hurting around 28 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

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
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
quick one hit 37 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
thats a big drop
💀16🔥17
thats the win
kept 16 of it off for 16 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
slightly off topic but a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
ring fitting is the best one
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
thats not showing off
i nearly quit too
good bp move
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
down 99 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
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

i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much, for what its worth
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 17 now
