Highlights from this day
- cold_chain_cmdr — i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything 15:07
- cold_chain_cmdr — the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance 16:25
- cold_chain_cmdr — right so i was down 27 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure 18:29
keep going
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win

coming back to this please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it, ymmv
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do
follow up a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
good bp move
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

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, someone check my working
coming back after 19 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
still here at month 14
thats a big drop
what non scale thing surprised you most
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
right so i was down 27 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

thats brilliant
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 3 now
update on the earlier thing a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother

lot_number_loucpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
SURMOUNT-OSA reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, take that with a pinch of salt
months not weeks
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
7 down in 26 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale

for the archive repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
