coming back after 15 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody

blood pressure was 148 over 94 at baseline and 126 over 80 today, is that the weight or coincidence

for the archive the thing nobody tells you is that the wins slow down and you have to learn to like the maintenance

follow up i was down 5 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure
update on the earlier thing i measure my waist as well because it kept moving through two separate stalls
i want to say something in here but im worried about sounding like im showing off
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two

good bp move
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me

i log kilos because i think in kilos and put pounds in brackets so nobody has to convert anything
17 down in 22 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale
is it weird that the clothes size mattered more to me than the number did

brilliant a1c
[edited]down 50 total and about half of that came in the first four months. it slowed after that and that was fine
my knees stopped hurting and i genuinely did not expect that, has anyone had the same
🙏1🤝14📉3
i was the one who nearly quit at week three and now i am the one saying hold, which i find funny
cpap pressure came down from 14 to 9 and the machine stopped waking me up in the night
thats not showing off
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
the stairs thing yeah
a1c 6.9 to 5.4 over ten months. not diabetic on paper anymore and i still do not quite believe it
nearly quit at week three, the nausea was awful, somebody here told me to hold rather than push. month 2 now
well done
somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
m0 118.4
m1 113.9
m2 110.2
m3 108.8
m4 108.1 <- the stall
m5 105.0
m6 101.6
m7 99.2ring fitting is the best one
i nearly quit too
down 16 and my resting heart rate dropped 9 bpm, related or not
half a stone in 9 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
STEP 1 reported roughly what i got, which surprised me, i had assumed the trial people all did better
i overclaimed early on in here, got gently corrected, and i deserved it

is there a point where you stop weighing daily
the compliments were harder than i expected and nobody warns you about that part
😂16
keep going
please say it. this channel exists for exactly this and nobody here is bored of hearing it

thats a big drop
first time under a number i havent seen since 2016, what did people do at that point
follow up i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about, your mileage will differ
bloods, blood pressure and the stairs all moved before the scale did anything interesting
