Welcome out of the shadows! Funny how many of us lurked for ages before posting, I did the same for nearly three months. Four stone down is brilliant to hear, gives me something to aim at.

Cutting my last meal back to almost nothing heavy and skipping anything fizzy at dinner was what finally got me through nights like that. Tums before bed helped me more than I expected too, even thoug…

43 lbs while lurking is impressive, most of us needed the accountability of posting to get there. The stalls hit everyone eventually so you'll have plenty to contribute when they do. Glad you finally …

My loss comes in stair steps too, and both times I stalled around the 20 lb mark it broke within a month without touching the dose. Give it a few more weeks before deciding, and congrats on the first …
