size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop, happy to be corrected
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do

- hiccup_hollis — 16 down in 9 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale 22:05
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
well done
does the room want the numbers or just the story
*Janoshik not the other one
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about

is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
[edited]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, take that with a pinch of salt
kept 14 of it off for 12 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of, not advice obviously

brilliant a1c
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
thats the win
what non scale thing surprised you most
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
good bp move
ok so please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
youre allowed to be pleased
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much, ask me again in a month
coming back after 2 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
i nearly quit too
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
thats not showing off
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
the stairs thing yeah
ok so first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
months not weeks
down 38 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
thats a big drop
follow up a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it, still working it out
ring fitting is the best one
[edited]is there a point where you stop weighing daily
👍1
slow is fine
i was down 26 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure, ask me again in a month
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
16 down in 9 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
❤️1📈11🎉1
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
while im here bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
down 98 and my resting heart rate dropped 4 bpm, related or not
ok so somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me, n of 1 obviously
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
down 52 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
my knees stopped hurting around 10 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, ask me again in a month
