Highlights from this day
- mag_citrate — my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same 13:28
- auckland_aliquot — i keep a pair of jeans from 2015 in the wardrobe as a measuring device and it is the only measurement i trust 14:32
- week_three_wall — honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody… 16:52
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win, happy to be corrected
love this channel
genuine question down 50 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
genuine question congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother
good bp move
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
no side effects at all is a legitimate report and it belongs here as much as the hard ones do
my knees stopped hurting around 29 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
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
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night

slow is fine
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
thats the win

is there a point where you stop weighing daily
ring fitting is the best one
SURMOUNT-1 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
youre allowed to be pleased
i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

went up two flights of stairs without stopping and then had to sit down for a completely different reason
congrats
blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence
thats not showing off
resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
the stairs thing yeah
thats a big drop

my wedding ring fits again after 15 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
still here at month 14
34 down in 14 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
brilliant a1c
down 41 and my resting heart rate dropped 8 bpm, related or not
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 19 now
coming back to this somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
months not weeks
[edited]please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it, your mileage will differ
i was down 22 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was, ymmv
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
thats brilliant
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month

the boring version is the useful one. slow, uneventful, still going, anyway
