the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance

genuine question size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do

TO

i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about

went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
kept 13 of it off for 8 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of

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

*PeptideMeter not the other one

TO

cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone

TO

STEP 4 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better, n of 1 obviously

TO

quick one half a stone in 30 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening

FN

ok so careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

NN

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls

NN

hit 32 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal

blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence

VV

i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust

VV

down 84 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
