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

Highlights from this day
- chlorhex — careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two, i have it written down somewhere 20:09
- chlorhex — 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 20:12
- vialkeeper — honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug 46 down in 3 months and honestly the stairs were the bit… 20:35
- vialkeeper — is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect 20:36

love this channel
slow is fine
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know, we shall see
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
[edited]honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
46 down in 3 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
🧪7🎉4
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
right so SURPASS-2 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
good bp move
is there a point where you stop weighing daily
brilliant a1c
i was down 47 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
thats the win
48 down in 9 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
*that should say weekly
follow up i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
coming back after 5 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
still here at month 14
congrats
my knees stopped hurting around 9 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
what non scale thing surprised you most
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
