  • taper_tess — STEP 4 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better 17:42
  • clothes_size_cass — week three nearly finished me and im at month 19 now, does anyone want the boring version 18:27

the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part, thats one data point

BF

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason

quick one how long did it take before you believed it was actually working

BF

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

TW

12 down in 4 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going

TT

hit 37 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal

TT

does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device

my wedding ring fits again after 6 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight

TT

genuine question honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug

TW

i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

🔥2🙏9👍7
TW

down 47 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine

CS

for the archive cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night

CS

week three nearly finished me and im at month 19 now, does anyone want the boring version

TT

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything

congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother

bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting

BF

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

BB

i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did

went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win

TT

please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it

TW

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

the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available, for what its worth
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

BB

kept 16 of it off for 5 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

TW

careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

m0  118.4
m1  113.9
m2  110.2
m3  108.8
m4  108.1  <- the stall
m5  105.0
m6  101.6
m7   99.2
TW

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe 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

how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert

months not weeks

BF

i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
