@daffodilandtulip AMAZING! I can't imagine how incredible you must be feeling this morning! Massive congratulations!🎉🎉

daffodilandtulip · 13/08/2024 11:06

Thanks everyone! I feel really pleased!! This is the weight I was stable at for most of my adult life so it'll be interesting to see where MJ takes me next!

Snozzlemaid · 13/08/2024 13:40

Well done @daffodilandtulip
How exciting. I love going down to the next stone.

Callmejudith · 13/08/2024 14:30

Downside NSV - have a lovely pair of trousers that I have only managed to wear once and they are now too big!

I just downloaded TikTok to watch that and got sucked into watching more Mounjaro clips.
But I've just deleted it again as it won't be any good for my blood pressure!
There was one from a diabetes doctor who apparently prescribes MJ for her patients but wanted people to explain why we can't eat less and more healthy without Mounjaro 🤬
She actually said that she doesn't understand why we need a drug to do this.
I'm absolutely gobsmacked that she can be so uneducated about it.

WeAllHaveWings · 13/08/2024 17:51

@Snozzlemaid I don't think I could have articulated to that Dr what the "food noise" and cravings was all about because until it stopped I didn't know it wasn't normal and how loud and obsessive it was.

It reminds me of my son who has been having painful problems with TMJ (jaw issues) recently. I felt the shape of his jaw and it clicked each time he opened/closed it. I asked him why he didn't tell me this had been happening and he said he thought everyone's jaw did that!

The problem is others don't hear the "food noise" either at all, or don't realise it is there until they hear the "food silence". Unfortunately some of those people are the doctors/health services that should be helping people.

daffodilandtulip · 13/08/2024 06:54

My scales now start with an 11 😮

I'm now in pre lockdown territory, and will now be seeing weights that I haven't seen since having children. (First born is off to uni soon!)

Amazing! Well done!

JomonotFomo · 13/08/2024 19:10

well done @Callmejudith also that TikTok is so true!

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 13/08/2024 19:50

@Callmejudith that sucks about the trousers. Any chance of selling on vinted and buying a new size?

@daffodilandtulip that's amazing! Well done!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork sorry to hear about the BP but hopefully the meds treat the cause and help you, just like MJ is.

@Greyrockin 2lb a week is fab, but also sustainable. I love a whoosh but it's the small incremental steps that ultimately get us to our end goals.

Sorry to those I've missed but read all the updates and they make me feel very uplifted.

7.5 working well for me so far, weight continues to creep down.

Re the tik tok, it's so true. I'll see if I can find it, but someone wrote out what food noise was and it was just spot on. It's similar to a smoker craving the next cigarette. The want never goes away, it's a physical and emotional need but unlike smoking, everyone needs to eat so we can't go cold turkey!

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 13/08/2024 19:50

Here it is

This is my food noise:

What’s for breakfast…..What do I want next….what’s in the fridge….what’s in the cupboard…..what’s in the freezer….I want something sweet…..I want toast….what can I have on my toast….I want a snack….what can I have for lunch….I have loads of food in the kitchen but it’s not what I want….I want a croissant…..mmmm I would love a croissant now…..should I go get one….what will people think of me in Tesco seeing me grab a bag of croissants….lady at the till must be disgusted with me for buying these….they probably think I’m such a fat pig…..what’s for dinner….I’m peckish what can I have…..I can’t believe I ate all the croissants now I could eat one now…..dinner was nice….I’m still hungry though….what if I have a packet of crisps….mmm crisp sarnie…..what sweets have I got…..Netflix and chill…..I want something….why am I like this I don’t even want it….I’m so disgusting….I want an ice cream….I have nothing to wear I’m so fat and ugly…..I can’t go out too many people and everyone looking at me thinking omg how fat is she I wouldn’t go out if I looked like that……maybe if I have an apple will give me a push to eat healthy….right tomorrow I’m gonna go for a walk…..I really fancy a snickers 😭😂

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 13/08/2024 19:56

@Sewfrickinamazeballs HA!! That's scarily familiar😩 although mine generally included how much wine was on the house and whether I needed to go and get more and which supermarket had wine offers on etc!!

ReallyNOT something I ever want to go back to!

It was actually quite eerie when I first noticed it was gone! The quiet took a while to get used to too. The space had been partly filled by thoughts of MJ and weight loss now😂😂😂

HamAlive · 13/08/2024 22:28

@daffodilandtulip that's amazing, well done!

Great NSV @Callmejudith 🙌

QueenEthelTheMagnificent · 14/08/2024 08:58

Well apparently I can never eat white bread again!! I've been quite lucky with lack of major side effects so far.

Only ate an apple all morning yesterday, so for lunch to increase my cals thought I'd have a sandwich made it with the small Warburtons white so only 18 cals in total more than the Thins, fillings all stuff I've had multiple times since on MJ.

oh my word the agony I was in!! Had chills, could barely eat any dinner!!!! 😬

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 14/08/2024 09:36

@QueenEthelTheMagnificent ouch! That sounds horrendous!!

NSV this morning!! My dog walking mac zips up!!! 👏👏 Bloody legs are wet through but my top half is dry 😂🤦‍♀️

JomonotFomo · 14/08/2024 14:56

ooh a NSV for me today! I picked up a pair of linen trousers in a 14 from the charity shop and they fit perfectly!

Callmejudith · 14/08/2024 15:42

@IReallyNeedThisToWork @JomonotFomo brilliant NSV!

@QueenEthelTheMagnificent white bread is awful for me too - even toast just gives me a terrible tummy ache. Sourdough or brown/seeded seems to be ok but I've only had a couple of slices per week if that.

TheShellBeach · 14/08/2024 17:15

Although the scales are just about to start with a 15, I've managed to get into my size 18 jeans today, and they're comfortable.
I'm so amazed.

WheresSummer99 · 14/08/2024 17:30

I had to give up bread and went GF a couple of years ago due to horrid digestion issues.

stall week this week so far and definitely more food noise & sugar craving creeping back in. I’ve stayed within my calories but nothing shifting so I’ve just jabbed a day early and gone upto 3mg using clicks. Last time I went above 2.5mg I felt quite ill and had a 11d break. But after 8wks hopefully it’s time to move up and get some lbs shifting again. It did worry me though how quickly that food noise starts to creep back in and how the hell am I going to manage when I stop MJ..

daffodilandtulip · 15/08/2024 06:50

Trying not to be annoyed with today's NSV ... had a top hanging out as we are out for lunch today (assuming the exam gods are kind). I last wore it three weeks ago and felt nice. I’ve just got dressed and it looks like a sack.

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 15/08/2024 07:37

@daffodilandtulip sorry, but had to laugh at that one! 😁

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 15/08/2024 07:47

End of week 8 weigh in this morning! 5th week on 5mg - minimal (if any!) side effects and good suppression👍

20/5 Fast800 SW: 17st 7lbs
19/6 MJ SW: 16st 12lbs

Wk 1: -7
Wk 2: -4
Wk 3: -3
Wk 4: -2
Wk 5: -5
Wk 6: -1
Wk 7: -1
Wk 8: -6!!!!!!

CW: 14st 11lbs!!!!
MJ loss: 29lbs
2stone down on 9 weeks!!!

IT HAS HAPPENED!! I am in the 14s!! I don't know when I was last 14stone 'something' but definitely not in the last 18 years or so!! Am absolutely over the moon and don't care that half my clothes don't fit and the ones that do, soon won't!!

I have also finally set two interim goals👍

  1. Getting under 200 lbs which is another half a stone away so seems doable
  2. Get my bmi under 35. Another stone and 2lbs so a little more mid term
IReallyNeedThisToWork · 15/08/2024 07:48

Grr, should read 2 stone down in 8 weeks! My nails have grown so much, I can't type on my phone!!! 😂
