Moun-June-ers 2024 - Baggy Pants Brigade Ahoy!

[Callmejudith]

New thread to track our baggy pants progress

I've discovered to my dismay that I'm too old to donate blood now.

Shame, as I have a fairly rare group.

What's with the extras? I don't have anything but the mounjaro.

........ but I also discovered, to my delight, that the size 18 trousers just about fit.

I mean, they go up my legs and I can get the zip done up, but they're not completely comfortable yet.

I think in half a stone's time, they'll be champion.

@TheShellBeach excellent news!!

@Trytowin20 extras? Do you mean the supplements some of us are taking?

I'm not taking anything other than the MJ.

I sometimes have a glass of Andrews, but that's because it helps with constipation and reflux. Just first thing in the morning, about twice a week.

But I'm not buying anything else.

I've just realised that when I said those size 18 jeans would fit me comfortably when I've lost another half stone, I said it knowing that this would actually be possible.

Usually, on diets, I've given up by this point.

I know what you mean TheShellBeach.
Before I had clothes that I sort of hoped to get into one day. It was just a dream really.
Now I'm excited that I know they will fit at some point.

Week 3 on both 2.5 and 5 have been rubbish for me, but I'm now on week 4 of 5mg and have lost 4lb since Thursday!

daffodil - did you have no suppression on your bad weeks? I'm week 3 of 2.5 and honestly I'm not feeling much suppression at all.

I’ve had really good suppression on all my weeks, I just get starving on injection day 🤷🏼‍♀️. But I’ve had some poor loss weeks for no obvious reason.

Had my first 7.5mg yesterday and the suppression is very strong.

Cooked curry for dinner later, and not even looking forward to it. That's not like me.

I’ve been taking vitamins for a while but have made sure to take them daily since I’ve been on MJ. I was told by a nutritionist to take zinc, magnesium, turmeric and vit D so those were my baseline.

then I read on TikTok about using electrolytes so added them

Then started worrying about hair loss since I have really strong suppression and am eating far less calories so I started glowwa

Then an instructor at the gym recommended I take creatine

I’m basically a marketer’s dream

Oh you must be my twin.
Targeted ads wet dream here 😂😂

Although MJ actually makes me think more about clicking buy it button.

Yey for the size 18 trousers!

You know what's weird?

I am losing weight, because I can see it in the mirror, and going by the clothes which now fit me.

But the scales are not going down. I'm back to 16st 8lb.

I'm so looking forward to seeing the needle drop.

Interesting isn’t it @TheShellBeach im tracking with a tape measure as well plus my scales have different measurements and my %body fat moved into Athletic this morning?! Yet I’ve only lost 0.5lb so far this week. I’m quite happy as my eating feels controlled and I can see I’m slimmer more healthy looking with clothes very much fitting baggy now.

2 friends in 2 days have commented on how my legs look slimmer! 😁

Ive decided I'm definitely doing this weeks dose tonight instead of Friday. I have no suppression at all (eaten a bag of crisps & a biscuit this afternoon 🫣) and Ive found it hard Thursdays & Fridays previously so I'm hoping this will head any cravings & bad eating off!!!

@QueenEthelTheMagnificent YAY for slimmer legs! 🎉

My big one today is - I HAVE BEEN TO THE GYM!!

I was amazed how nervous I was, particularly as I used to bloody work I one! DS talked me into going with him so I couldn't really change my mind 😂 Didn't do a huge amount but now know where everything is so won't feel a complete fraud next time 👍

Have to say that my knees aren't happy but that's partly because I fell over the dog last week and am very bruised and battered😩🤦‍♀️

Voy seem to have changed their new starters' discount again - mine now says they get 35% off! Has anyone managed to discover the price list anywhere?

Well done! I went to the gym Monday too for the first time in forever. I have stiff arms today.

7.5mg is hurting me at the moment. Everything is going straight through me! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I have never been to a gym and probably won't ever.
I'd be too terrified and intimidated to set foot in one. I don't enjoy physical activity and am very uncoordinated.

@coffeeandteav oh that sounds unpleasant! I had 9 straight days like that in weeks 3/4 on 2.5. So weird how things are different for all of us 🤷‍♀️

I have finally bitten the bullet and let Voy know I want to stay on 5mg for a second month👍 I reasoned that if it all went pear shaped on holiday, I could buy some needles and up it as required!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork amazing for the gym well done

I am due to take my bonus dose the day we go on holiday and I’m considering not doing it, I’m really not sure I want suppression on an AI holiday and I know 100% I’m not going to gain what I’ve already lost in 10 days. But then that means I either keep the bonus dose in the needle which will mean going over the 30 day rule, or throw it away which seems like sacrilege

Been thinking about our AI hol in October, and I've already decided to not take it away with me, only 6 of those days are at a resort and I know I'll be swimming lots so I'm hoping I won't put too much on then......

We've got 10 days but the hotel has a big sports program and gym and I will definitely be on that every day.

My 5mg pen has arrived for after my holiday - I'm scared of it LOL
