Heavy exercise last week weighed Monday. 1400-1800 calories daily, 1500 deficit probably. Lots protein. Weighed lost four whole target. Starving first week probably muscle loss. Restriction works. Cut hard wish.
Getting the A1C to 4.9 while dropping the blood sugar medication is the actual win here - the 82 lbs is what photographed well but the metabolic markers are what the doctor's visit was really tracking.
