Highlights from this day
  • knees_first — cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night 08:21
  • ari_arrives — coming back to this is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did 10:13
  • ari_arrives — size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop 10:48
  • freya_fridge — down 63 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine 15:40

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

i was down 30 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

how long did it take before you believed it was actually working

PT

while im here anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself

PT

nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 1 now

TT

went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win, anyway
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it

does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered

TT

the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available

my wedding ring fits again after 4 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight

what non scale thing surprised you most

love this channel

SB

FLOW reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better

TT

somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

ring fitting is the best one

10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month

i nearly quit too

months not weeks

is there a point where you stop weighing daily

FF

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going, happy to be corrected
