Progress (Text Only)

Start 132kg, now 91kg, 14 months. Text-only community so here is the table instead of the picture, which I have come to think is the better format anyway. Month Weight…

Getting close to a number I picked somewhat arbitrarily at the start and now second-guessing whether it's actually the right number or just the number I happened to…

Three weeks flat at maintenance-adjacent dose and I had a whole message drafted to my prescriber asking about increasing. Posted here first (glad I did) and the top…

Three weeks of steady loss, then week 4 the scale just... stopped. I had the pen in my hand ready to just not bother with the next dose. Posting the after because I…

61 tabs in this spreadsheet at this point and the single most useful column isn't weight, it's the 7-day rolling average next to it. Nine months in, raw numbers…

14 months, 41kg, one boring spreadsheet, no photos by design. Posting the boring middle of the process, because the internet is full of the start and the end and…

Update, and the title has the headline: first time in a decade my blood pressure is normal. The first thing I noticed was a jacket doing up. The scale had been flat for…

Something I keep coming back to: tied my own shoes without holding my breath. Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of…

Six-word version is the title — eight weeks, 2kg, doing everything right, and it is grinding me down — and the rest is context. The relevant figures are 2kg, and they…

Here it is: AHI 34 → 9, the CPAP is in a cupboard. One person, one log, no control group, so read it accordingly. Stalled for 10 weeks and measured my waist out of…

two years, and the second year mattered more than the first, and the part I actually want to talk about is at the bottom. The boring middle lasted the longest and it is…

walked up the escalator instead of standing on it. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. Nothing on this board is medical advice, and…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: hit goal and immediately felt worse. did not expect that. What to measure if you want to stay sane through the flat…

Check-in as promised in the title: came off two blood pressure meds and one statin. Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions…

90 weeks, full dose-and-weight table, ask me anything, and the part I actually want to talk about is at the bottom. Numbers, in the order they matter: 90 weeks. Nothing…

my knees stopped hurting and i cried about it. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. On the goal weight you set in week one. You chose…

regained 6kg over a winter and i am posting it anyway. Full detail below, and I have tried to keep the editorialising out of it. Since the title puts numbers in the…

Check-in as promised in the title: small win: non-scale victory stopped being a problem at week 61. Stopped reading the fastest posts here for a month and my mood…

The one-line version is the title: timeframe is not what most of this community thinks it is. The rest is why. Nobody noticed for months. Then several people noticed in…

milestone is not what most of this community thinks it is. Two minutes of reading now saves an argument later. 39kg over 8 months and honestly the most useful marker…

Here it is: 72 weeks on 12.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. One person, one log, no control group, so read it accordingly. 72 weeks and 12.5mg — those are the…

The title is the whole question — why does nobody talk about non-scale victory — but here is why I am asking. Body weight varies by a couple of kilos day to day through…

someone explain non-scale victory to me like I have not read a paper in years, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Rate…

Slightly embarrassed to be asking this, but: struggle — what am I missing here. The boring middle lasted the longest and it is the part I am most proud of. On the goal…
