i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
right so my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same

[edited]ok so hit 37 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal

the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
👍1
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
youre allowed to be pleased
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 16 now
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
well done
slow is fine
thats a big drop
thats brilliant
ring fitting is the best one
43 down in 18 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
congrats
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
i was down 20 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure, someone check my working
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
i nearly quit too
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
