size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
40 down in 26 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale

i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did, someone check my working
love this channel
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
thank_you_year_oni stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers…
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two, anyway

still here at month 14
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about

down 59 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
slow is fine

thats brilliant
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
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
half a stone in 26 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
does the room want the numbers or just the story
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
coming back to this nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 22 now
thank_you_year_onsize 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops…
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
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available

my knees stopped hurting around 33 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, thats just me
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was, ill dig out the number
youre allowed to be pleased
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
SURMOUNT-OSA reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
[edited]🙏10
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
down 28 and my resting heart rate dropped 2 bpm, related or not

keep going

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
ring fitting is the best one
thats the win
update on the earlier thing i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
sorry to jump in brilliant a1c
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
slightly off topic but went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
thats not showing off
sorry to jump in my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same

i was down 33 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
