Highlights from this day
- ring_size_down — SURMOUNT-OSA reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better 20:25
- mcg_not_mg — how do you celebrate this without it being about food i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything 20:38
- non_scale_win — the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part 21:21
- deamidation — i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two… 21:40
- bex_bloods — 33 down in 24 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale 22:03
unrelated but does the room want the numbers or just the story
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
half a stone in 8 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
for the archive how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
while im here down 95 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
for the archive went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
while im here the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much, i think
week three nearly finished me and im at month 21 now, does anyone want the boring version
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
youre allowed to be pleased
33 down in 24 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale

first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month, for what its worth
[edited]thats the win
