Highlights from this day
- tga_notice — the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance 20:04
- tga_notice — a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it 20:09
- u100_pat — my wedding ring fits again after 18 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight 20:29
- pinch_not_stretch — anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was… 21:24
- VialBot — Recon calculator: 40mg in 2ml = 2.5mg/ml. 22:17
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
well done
thats a big drop
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
good bp move
months not weeks
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
slow is fine

my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial, anyway
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
ok so went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
what non scale thing surprised you most
ok so week three nearly finished me and im at month 5 now, does anyone want the boring version
congrats
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 wedding ring fits again after 18 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight

ring fitting is the best one
thats the win
14 down in 21 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
sorry to jump in congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
kept 47 of it off for 17 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
my knees stopped hurting around 9 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
youre allowed to be pleased
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
still here at month 14
slightly off topic but the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
right so is there a point where you stop weighing daily
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
⚠️5👍1📉2
keep going
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
down 66 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

thats not showing off
brilliant a1c
STEP 1 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
slightly off topic but somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did

i nearly quit too
😂14⚠️2🔥15
quick one somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly

sorry to jump in no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
sorry to jump in the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
thats brilliant
i was down 20 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
half a stone in 14 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
