i was down 22 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything

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

i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about

down 48 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine, i think

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason

slightly off topic but my knees stopped hurting around 30 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, ill dig out the number

kept 4 of it off for 11 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

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

thats brilliant

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny

months not weeks

i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
