Highlights from this day
- protein_floor — somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me 12:09
- ms_ms_mira — my knees stopped hurting around 8 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, ill dig out the number 12:31
- knees_first — 26 down in 26 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale 13:50
- seven_five_sweet — the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much somebody thanked me a year later for a two line… 14:38

my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
sorry to jump in i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
well done
love this channel
i nearly quit too
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother, for what its worth
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 26 now
slightly off topic but down 72 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine, anyway
unrelated but the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part, your mileage will differ
slightly off topic but the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
*that should say weekly
does the room want the numbers or just the story
26 down in 26 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale

brilliant a1c
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

kept 33 of it off for 12 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

ok so careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
Recon calculator: 10mg in 1ml = 4mg/ml.
thats a big drop
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it

the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
months not weeks
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
