- apnoea_down_two — my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same 22:28
- apnoea_down_two — slightly off topic but down 15 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win 22:39
- apnoea_down_two — is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did 22:45
- chlorhex — quick one i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust 22:56
- apnoea_down_two — the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going 23:18
love this channel
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 9 now
*Janoshik not the other one
somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
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, i think

right so a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
quick one went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win, your mileage will differ
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2coming back after 23 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
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
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
slow is fine
Purity check: no report on file for lot C-4402. Nothing logged either way.

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

ring fitting is the best one
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it, we shall see
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
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
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
down 87 and my resting heart rate dropped 4 bpm, related or not
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself

thats brilliant
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
youre allowed to be pleased
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going

keep going
congrats
kept 34 of it off for 21 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
still here at month 14
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me, i have it written down somewhere
brilliant a1c
my knees stopped hurting around 33 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, n of 1 obviously
what non scale thing surprised you most
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
thats not showing off
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother, ask me again in a month
down 4 since 23 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
