STEP 4 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, anyway
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night, for what its worth
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
what non scale thing surprised you most
brilliant a1c
ok so bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
ring fitting is the best one
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
my knees stopped hurting around 8 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
⚠️3
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it, thats one data point

coming back after 16 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
is there a point where you stop weighing daily

update on the earlier thing my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
while im here down 37 since 16 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
sorry to jump in how do you celebrate this without it being about food
months not weeks
[edited]i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 25 now
