i nearly quit too
good bp move
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
months not weeks
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
my knees stopped hurting around 35 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
youre allowed to be pleased
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
does the room want the numbers or just the story

congrats
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much

*that should say weekly
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 2 now, not advice obviously
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

down 31 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
SURMOUNT-OSA reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, happy to be corrected
follow up the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
right so a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it, anyway
keep going
