I don't like to make a constant huge deal of it because the world concentrates too much on numbers and the baggage around them, and constant running totals are probably bad all up, but this morning I hit a 30kg weight loss.

Left, September 2023. Right, today. Also yes I am fifty something and my mother bought me a bun hoodie.

A photo of a nanoraptor looking a little bit more nano and a little less raptor too. Also I'm wearing a pink bun hoodie.

And a bonus pic - vanillabean may be a mini lop but apparently i am a maximum lop.

@huwr Yes! My first collected piece of old Mac gear - if you've ever seen this photo floating around, it's of that PowerBook.

@bobthomson70 Gods, yes. I think hitting 51and starting to hurt all over was what prompted me to start, and I immediately cut my food intake down. Barely dropped any weight for the next eighteen months, but getting older, hitting 52 and feeling way better than the year before helped me keep at it. Then it all began to pay off at the beginning of this year.

I move through space in a completely different way not hurting, and that's the biggie.

@marksibly If it helps, I dropped 2kg to a plateau when I began in July 2022, and then sat there until Jan 2024. It took that long to just swan-dive down.

I felt better in general before then, but at the point the kgs came off my knees added to the feel-good bits :)

@Unixbigot I am so angry at myself that I did not think of that myself. Thank you that is so good!

Most people on earth can’t remember anything before 1997.

(Considering median age on earth is about 31 and most people don’t remember much at all before age 3)

@ricci cos I’m doing it to myself as punishment. (And we’re probably about the same era)

@RL_Dane @joncruz I lament the constant erosion of true system-wide drag & drop. When you could drop almost any object from one app to another; lines of text to browser or image to chat window, or chart from a PDF into a spreadsheet - then the next generation comes along and sees drag and drop as nothing more than filesystem window to filesystem window.

It comes back, then goes away again, then back, and disappears. Always rediscovering why, with clumsy breaks in between.
