Highlights from this day
- bad_batch_not_scam — does the room want the numbers or just the story 17:03
- private_script_pri — resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know, happy to be corrected 17:23
- taper_tess — my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial 19:39
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

genuine question what non scale thing surprised you most
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
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
does the room want the numbers or just the story

months not weeks
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part

the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls, not advice obviously

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
well done
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
for the archive cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
[edited]congrats
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
right so i was down 42 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
thats the win
sorry to jump in congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
slightly off topic but first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
down 65 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
👀2🎉7
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny, someone check my working
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
coming back after 4 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going, someone check my working
still here at month 14
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
kept 8 of it off for 6 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
private_script_priis it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect the milestone that mattered…
STEP 1 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, thats one data point
coming back to this i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust
my knees stopped hurting around 7 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2the stairs thing yeah
blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
youre allowed to be pleased

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
Batch lookup B-0329: 9 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-06-20.
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
love this channel
down 25 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert
down 21 and my resting heart rate dropped 2 bpm, related or not
