Let's keep up the good work into a new thread. A few of us are approaching our goal now. 😊🎉

I agree that we want people to be body positive and not assume slim is happy... but we have so much internalised diet culture (and we have put in the effort) so we want people to comment. Totally understand

end of my first week - period arriving so I think I've lost 1.5kg over the last week. Been doing my fitness pal and moving more. Second .25 tonight 🙂

When I'd lost about 20kgs 2 years ago someone at work checked with me that it was intentional weightloss, she knew my sister was sick so wanted to make sure before complimenting me.

It's so hard, even saying someone looks well can have a do I usually look shit reaction.

I've had my order approved by Asda, so expecting my first delivery soon! I've been a consistent weight for about the past 18 months, so hoping this will help give me a boost to lose and continue to eat even more healthily and exercise more. I've got at least 3st to lose.

I've read all of your threads over the past few days and am a bit apprehensive but also excited!

I need to find a subtle way to let people know it's intentional, I'm pleased about it and happy to discuss it 😄

Good luck @StaySpicy
I started with 3st to lose too and the losses soon build up.

@AhBiscuits you can let people know you've had to buy some lovely new clothes as nothing fits anymore.
Nothing wrong with a bit of boasting when you've done so well.

I'm having a good day. No hunger at all. Chose a salad in the canteen, couldn't manage much of it, made myself eat the salmon.
The burps are back with a vengeance though.

Thanks, @AhBiscuits . I've been following your progress - well done! It's quite inspiring. I need to pop over to the life after... thread, too, to see how weaning off it goes for people.

@Eversohopeful I had good losses in week 1 and 2, but since then I've only lost a pound, then stayed the same for 2 weeks, then had a big drop. I'm on week 15 and I've lost 21lbs. I've felt disappointed almost every week but when I look at my overall loss I'm pleased. You'll get there.

No 10s for me this week 😠

Week 22. 1.6lbs down.

SW: 13st 7.8
CW: 11st 0.2
GW: 10st 6
Lost: 35.6lbs
To go: 8.2lbs

Thanks @PanettoneSoprano on my second week, still having to force food but I have a very pushy daughter that will help when needed. Really appreciate everyone's efforts and support on this journey we are all on. It is so surprising seeing so much positivity on weight loss and you should all be so proud to have come as far as you all have.

@AhBiscuits loving your weekly positive posts showing your massive accomplishments, really helping keep me on track.

Not even thinking of the end result, trying to focus on the here and now rather than would could be as that can sabotage the task at hand.

Thanks again everyone, keep up the fabulous work. 😉

I’ve weighed in at the end of week two and am down 4.2 lbs 😊

start 12st 6
current 12st 1.8
goal 10st 8

Well done @DamnItBetsy
Fantastic loss.

Keep going everyone! I love reading all your posts and I agree @Eversohopeful that this thread is a lovely weight loss space. (I've never had to lose weight before so I needed to not feel alone in the space!)

second .25 last night, noticed I Carly wanted my coffee and small breakfast this morning. Had them as my body needs those! Thanks x

@AhBiscuits sooo close!!!!! Next week is definitely the week!!!

@DamnItBetsy well done on your brilliant losses so far!

@Eversohopeful that’s what I tried to do. Looking at the end goal feels so overwhelming at times. Sometimes just concentrating on a day by day/week by week basis is best.

@PinkCaro sounds like its starting to work well for you. I totally agree, having others to talk to who are in similar situations with weight loss makes the world of difference.

its weird, being physically hungry, but not wanting to eat food. Makes such a nice change to the 'need food, don't care if I'm hungry'

I went off coffee for months @PinkCaro it's common I think.
I'm drinking it again now though.

I had a Teams meeting earlier and was not paying attention and just looking at my visible collarbone the whole time 😄 Is that a non-scale victory?

It definitely is!

God I feel rough and have been sick again today. (I was sick on Sunday too). I don’t know why all of a sudden I’m being sick, I’ve been so much better with food this week too!

@AhBiscuits admire those collar bones..definitely an nsv!

@PinkCaro that feeling is so good isn’t it!

Oh no @Lovesthebeach not you too.
I've had diarrhoea for 4 days. What's going on?!

I wasn't sick till I started 1 or 1.7. Can't remember which. Then it was so sudden and random! Hasn't happened for a couple of weeks so hoping it's over

@AhBiscuits and @Flatleak it’s rubbish isn’t it. It just comes out of the blue!!

I can understand sunday as last week is eaten quite badly, but this week I’ve been good.
Got a feeling it’s going to be a long night.
I was two days late injecting this week but my body should be well used to 1.0 as I’ve been on it for months?

@AhBiscuits hope it eases off soon x

Weigh in day and I'm officially in the 12s!!!! Started off at nearly 16 stone 22 weeks ago so very happy with this. Still got a way to go and need to work on my habits eg yesterday was busy so I had some chocolate for lunch and a beige tea.

SW - 220 pounds
CW - 181 pounds
GW - 160 pounds (at least)

Amazing!!!
Well done @Flatleak

@Flatleak that’s brilliant! You must be so pleased!

@Flatleak - well done, a real achievement and you should be very proud 😊

Amazing @Flatleak! well done, you must feel amazing.
