Highlights from this day
- protein_floor — the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance 22:43
- fibre_first — the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available 23:21
- fibre_first — 36 down in 18 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale 23:37
well done

no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
still here at month 14
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
follow up how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
update on the earlier thing first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
youre allowed to be pleased
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
coming back to this somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
slow is fine

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
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop, thats just me
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
half a stone in 28 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening, n of 1 obviously
brilliant a1c
down 33 since 10 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
[edited]my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial, happy to be corrected
keep going
ring fitting is the best one
is there a point where you stop weighing daily
hit 29 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
congrats

went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
kept 39 of it off for 18 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
slightly off topic but honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
update on the earlier thing the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 22 now

love this channel
does the room want the numbers or just the story
thats the win
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
36 down in 18 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale

auckland_aliquotmy 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
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
[edited]quick one down 56 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
