someone explain non-scale victory to me like I have not read a paper in years

the timeframe thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 12.5mg to 5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 16 weeks…

am I the only one who found timeframe harder than the injections
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud. The advice on timeframe in this community changed substantially around the start of last…

[Non-Scale Win] walked up the escalator instead of standing on it
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles. The claim: non-scale victory matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both…

my ApoB moved and I cannot work out whether progress is why

[Struggle] eight weeks, 2kg, doing everything right, and it is grinding me down

struggle: what the trials say vs what this community says
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 0.25mg to 10mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 11 weeks…

[Non-Scale Win] tied my own shoes without holding my breath
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 5mg to 1.7mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 21 weeks…

[Results] two years, and the second year mattered more than the first

[Struggle] hit goal and immediately felt worse. did not expect that.
Week 78 update. 4kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 35. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…

how did people actually decide "this is my number" instead of just chasing lower forever
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…

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…

almost quit at week 4 because "it stopped working", so glad I didn’t
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…

[Milestone] 18 months, at goal for a year of that, and the weirdest part was after the number stopped moving
Three years on this site total, 34kg down, and 18 months on the drug specifically with the last 12 of those at a stable weight. The losing part had a clear narrative.…
