slightly off topic but somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance, i have it written down somewhere
🤝1
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
kept 17 of it off for 3 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
😂15👍4🤝2
what non scale thing surprised you most
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
brilliant a1c
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny

my wedding ring fits again after 21 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do
down 44 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
youre allowed to be pleased
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
good bp move
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
while im here SURMOUNT-1 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
keep going

for the archive is there a point where you stop weighing daily
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night, from memory
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence

down 47 and my resting heart rate dropped 3 bpm, related or not
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug

my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother

nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 3 now
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
half a stone in 34 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
does the room want the numbers or just the story
39 down in 17 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
Inter-lab diff for lot D-0718: 98.6% vs 99%. Within expected range.

is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did
week three nearly finished me and im at month 12 now, does anyone want the boring version
still here at month 14
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

i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it
how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
my knees stopped hurting around 22 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
