- triple_ag_tom — somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly 18:02
- triple_ag_tom — is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did 18:04

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

unrelated but 10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
still here at month 14
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it
well done
genuine question how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
down 74 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
months not weeks
follow up 14 down in 13 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale, your mileage will differ
i nearly quit too

is there a point where you stop weighing daily
good bp move
unrelated but week three nearly finished me and im at month 22 now, does anyone want the boring version
the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going
thats a big drop
sorry to jump in the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
*sorry, GGPeps
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
love this channel
somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly

does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
*Janoshik not the other one
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
thats not showing off

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
thats brilliant
👍1🧊1
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
hit 20 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
brilliant a1c
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
ring fitting is the best one
sorry to jump in careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
the stairs thing yeah
youre allowed to be pleased
my wedding ring fits again after 12 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
my knees stopped hurting around 47 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
slow is fine
update on the earlier thing the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
[edited]somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
does the room want the numbers or just the story
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 7 now
STEP 4 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it
thats the win

blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
