19 down in 14 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale, for what its worth

honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
months not weeks
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
still here at month 14
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did
thats brilliant
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
update on the earlier thing size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
New independent result logged — QST, lot B-0114, purity 98.1% (VendorInvestigate).
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
well done
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
thats not showing off
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
follow up i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month, ymmv
coming back after 5 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
keep going
slow is fine
love this channel
does the room want the numbers or just the story
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
update on the earlier thing kept 21 of it off for 18 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
week three nearly finished me and im at month 2 now, does anyone want the boring version
down 28 since 25 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
thats a big drop
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
genuine question SURPASS-2 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, thats just me
[edited]i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
good bp move
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
my knees stopped hurting around 38 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
is there a point where you stop weighing daily
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, we shall see
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
down 103 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine, take that with a pinch of salt
follow up my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about, take that with a pinch of salt
