i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off

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

🙏14🧪12💀4

bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting

resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know

how do you say youre pleased in here without it sounding like an advert

down 33 since 19 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at

SA

i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
i was down 13 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure

SS

a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it

i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny

careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself

quick one nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 16 now

keep going

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything, n of 1 obviously

down 79 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine, your mileage will differ

SS

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

my wedding ring fits again after 24 months, does anyone else measure things that arent weight

PB

congratulations, genuinely. and thank you for putting the caveats in, most people do not bother

DD

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

SURPASS-2 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better

still here at month 14

RR

the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was

PF

coming back after 10 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody

PF

unrelated but repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in

RR

the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was

PF

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