- malnourish 1y agoWhile I agree with you and have done this myself, if you're going to make lifestyle change recommendations, at least spell "lose" correctly ;) I went from ~220 lbs/100 kg to ~160 lbs/ 73 kg. I had to dial back my CPAP over time and eventually switched to a mouth guard which can treat both OSA and TMD.
