10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
my wedding ring fits again after 7 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
update on the earlier thing careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two, ymmv
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
update on the earlier thing bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available, your mileage will differ
thats the win
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2love this channel
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything

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

congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
coming back after 22 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it

thats a completely normal month one and the waist number is the interesting one
📈8
why the waist
3cm off the waist against 2.3kg means something moved that isnt just water
week 2 flat and you panicked. welcome, thats the whole ritual
i genuinely nearly stopped
i did stop. for nine days. at week 3
told myself it wasnt working, id wasted the money, the usual script
what changed
someone in here asked me what the scale did on my worst day versus my best day in the same week
it was 1.8kg apart. same week. i was reading noise as failure
reading noise as failure should be the channel motto

anyway. month 6 today

the shape of it, month by month, because month 1 looked like nothing
| Month | Dose | Loss that month | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.25 mg | -1.6 kg | -1.6 kg |
| 2 | 0.5 mg | -4.1 kg | -5.7 kg |
| 3 | 0.5 mg | -3.8 kg | -9.5 kg |
| 4 | 1.0 mg | -3.0 kg | -12.5 kg |
| 5 | 1.0 mg | -2.4 kg | -14.9 kg |
| 6 | 1.0 mg | -4.3 kg | -19.2 kg |
month 5 is slower than month 4 and month 6 is the biggest. thats not a curve at all
no. it lurches. mine has never once been a smooth line
month 5 was christmas for her i think
month 5 was christmas, yes. i was not sad about month 5
i keep a 7 day average and only look at the average. changed my whole relationship with the thing
how do you not look
i weigh daily and never read the number, i type it in and close the app. sounds insane, works
typing a number without reading it is a genuine skill

coming back to the nine days off — did stopping and restarting cost you anything long term
for me it cost me the side effects again on restart. nine days at that half-life is not nothing
i restarted at the same dose which in hindsight i would not do again. thats a me lesson, not advice
the honest version of a win post is worth ten polished ones. thanks for both of these
ok. logging month 2. see you in 4 weeks
