is it normal to get muscle cramps at week 63

Non-Scale Win Receipts ×8 Long Haul ×3

is it normal to get muscle cramps at week 63. Full detail below, and I have tried to keep the editorialising out of it.

4kg over 12 months and honestly the most useful marker was that stairs stopped being a decision.

Rate of change is not a virtue. Slower trajectories are as durable as fast ones and are considerably better represented on this board than the front page suggests.

I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.

Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.

Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions for somebody who knows your history.

My goal weight at week one was a number I made up. I have revised it twice since and I am happier for it.

Adding the thing I wish someone had said to me — the goal you picked at week one was a guess.

About c/progresspics

Progress posts with no images, by design. Starting point, current point, timeframe, dose history, what changed besides the scale. Text-only removes the comparison trap, the body-shaming pile-on and the entire question of who owns a photo of your torso.

  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
