the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going

Highlights from this day
- batch_variance — my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial 13:14
- two_three_lifts — kept 43 of it off for 18 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of, thats one data point 14:38
- a1c_lag — a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and… 16:16
- month_six_me — does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device 16:46
- five_mg_ml — does the room want the numbers or just the story honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug 16:56
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
keep going
quick one the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
youre allowed to be pleased
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
still here at month 14
down 97 and my resting heart rate dropped 2 bpm, related or not
brilliant a1c
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
👍3🎉6
sorry to jump in went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason

m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 4 now, still working it out
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
down 35 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
*Janoshik not the other one
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
slow is fine
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
kept 43 of it off for 18 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of, thats one data point
🤝15
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
down 61 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
genuine question the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
15 down in 12 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
coming back to this blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
week three nearly finished me and im at month 15 now, does anyone want the boring version
my wedding ring fits again after 12 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
coming back after 22 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting, for what its worth

somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
[edited]honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
love this channel
a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything
i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
❤️10
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once 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
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device

what non scale thing surprised you most
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
🤝9
congrats
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
does the room want the numbers or just the story

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
ring fitting is the best one

*Janoshik not the other one
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
[edited]thats not showing off
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
