Highlights from this day
- lipase_lore — my knees stopped hurting around 43 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, ill dig out the number 16:14
- ring_size_down — the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available 18:20
- ring_size_down — somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me half a stone in 23 weeks sounds slow written down and felt… 19:36
kept 31 of it off for 23 months now and that is the number i am actually proud of
thats a big drop
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
🙏4
the stairs thing yeah
coming back after 23 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
i nearly quit too
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
[edited]the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was, we shall see
🧪12
half a stone in 6 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
my milestone was tying my shoes sitting upright. it is not an endpoint in any trial
my knees stopped hurting around 43 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage, ill dig out the number

the milestone that mattered was fitting an aeroplane seat without the extender, and i was embarrassed by how much
somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
still here at month 14
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
repeat sleep study came back better, has anyone else moved out of the range they were in
slightly off topic but how long did it take before you believed it was actually working
brilliant a1c

hit 10 down this morning and im sat here not really feeling anything, is that normal
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
months not weeks
thats not showing off

well done
the win i did not expect was sleeping through the night. i had forgotten that was available

what non scale thing surprised you most
down 103 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance
down 35 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win
keep going
size 22 to size 14 over about eighteen months. sizes are not consistent between shops so i only use the one shop
10kg is about 22lb and i still get that conversion wrong at least once a month
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
half a stone in 23 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening

thats the win
down 6 since 7 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
👀9❤️2
for the archive i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
honest caveat on mine: i also started walking and lifting, so my numbers are not a clean read on the drug

please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it

thats brilliant
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
good bp move
