My 11 weeks progress photos

[WithAliceAforethought]

Just thought I'd share what a 2 stone 8 lb weight loss looks like on a fairly short (5 ft 3.5 inches!) woman.

I did weight over 14 stone and I'm 11 stone something now. Couple of stone to go!

I'm not a natural model as you can see and I know the clothes are different and not tight but hopefully you'll see a difference as I'm not sure I can

I've just done Mounjaro and stuck with MJ

Really huge difference between photos! Out of curiosity what dress size were you before/after?

@Drttc that's a tricky one! I wear a lot of Hush / Scamp & Dude/ Sweaty Betty and White company. All of which are very ... stretchy! So what fit me then fits me now, just better

But I was a good size 14-16 before and I'm a size 12 right now I'd say but depends on the brand. I can get my jeans back on so that's a start

Definite slimming down, you're looking great.

Can I ask what side effects you've experienced and how old you are? Were the injections prescribed by a doctor?

I'm the same size/weight to you when you started, an inch taller and am really curious about the injections, but I'm also menopausal and not convinced anything will shift my fat!

I'm a big foodie and I eat pretty healthily, drink alcohol once or twice a week, don't eat junk food.

@Bimblepops I'm very perimenopausal. Been a nightmare tbh but I've felt loads better in recent months as the MJ has somehow given me more energy m
I'm 52 and was feeling every one of those years in March!

I've never had real appetite suppression , I've never had a feeling of being full and I've never had any side effects on 2.5 - I bought it privately through Medexpress

What it's done for me is just - for some weird reason - stopped all the food noise (I was eating lots of cheese, chocolate, pizza and ice cream before - no proper meals, just a nice little graze all day long) and now I can make better choices , eat smaller portions and - crucially - I exercise quite a bit

Honestly - give it a go. I've got no intention of going up a dose and I'm using this time to just try and cement on good habits and 'working with' the MJ

@Bimblepops oh and nothing was shifting my weight. Just couldn't lose more than a few pounds and then they'd come straight back. Was hard to focus

That's really helpful, thank you @WithAliceAforethought
It's much less drastic than the liposuction etc that I've been musing on!

Ha, liposuction hurts! I've been there too!

Read up and consider it. The 2.5 isn't very much and you may find it works for you - especially given that you're already half way there with a healthy eating pattern

@WithAliceAforethought

Same situation here with me. I've just gone up to 5mg. No side effects except a bit more tired than usual.

Got mine from Asda doctor online

@OhHelloMiss that's good then - I've read about some awful side effects for some people!

I'm hoping to complete the whole thing on 2.5 if I can

Thank you for sharing! Really helpful to be able to visualise where we might be when we've only just started.

@AnnaDor good luck with it! It's a very smooth journey for lots of people

You are looking great!! I am on wegovy now. Really slow progress but have so much more energy. I’m still at 0.5 so I am going to drop more when the dose goes up. I have noticed my face and belly is leaner. I don’t weigh myself because I am dense ! I was a size 8 and at 5ft 9 still weighed in at 9.5st. So I reckon about 15 now at size 16/18. I’m 56 so I guess it’s normal to be slower.

@Luciev thank you! I'm a couple more stone down now so getting there - currently 9 stone 7

I'm impressed you don't weigh yourself! Will you base it off how you feel in your clothes etc?

Well done @WithAliceAforethought , you’re looking great though you looked a lot slimmer than I do when you started! I’d love to be 9st 7! Only 4st to go!
