Hit the century mark and felt almost nothing

My scale said 184.6 this morning, which puts me at 101.2 lbs lost since I started tracking in January 2024. I expected some cinematic moment. Instead I made coffee, argued with my insurance portal, and went to work.

The non-scale stuff is what keeps me steady: 25 minutes on the rower without my back seizing, and my resting heart rate dropped from 82 to 64. I’m on a GLP-1 and lifting twice a week, but I’m not crediting any single thing.

For people who’ve passed a big round number: did you mark it somehow, or just let it be another data point? Also, if anyone has solid reading on maintenance after these meds—studies or good summaries, not hype—I’d appreciate it.

congrats on 101.2—sorry the brain didn’t throw confetti. I had a similar letdown at 75 down; my celebration was folding laundry.

What actually hit was realizing I could stand up from the floor without using my hands. I started a note on my phone called "things that got easier" and add one line a week: parking-lot walk without stopping, towel wrapping fully, rower intervals not wrecking my low back.

Have you been writing the non-scale wins down anywhere, or just noticing them in the moment? The 25
