my knees stopped hurting around 47 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

how do you celebrate this without it being about food
what non scale thing surprised you most
thats not showing off
[edited]coming back after 1 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
well done
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
follow up SURMOUNT-1 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
youre allowed to be pleased
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
months not weeks
thats a big drop
[edited]no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do, happy to be corrected
a1c came back 5.6 from 6.9, can i be pleased about that or is it too early to say anything

careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two, ask me again in a month
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting, i think
does anyone else keep one pair of old jeans purely as a measuring device
[edited]i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
kept 46 of it off for 23 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
for the archive kept 16 of it off for 26 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of, i could be wrong
down 12 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
week three nearly finished me and im at month 20 now, does anyone want the boring version
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
coming back to this the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it
the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much, for what its worth
thats the win
