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

[Callmejudith]

New thread to track our baggy pants progress

Last night my husband turned to me in bed and uttered the most romantic words ever.....

'Darling your double chin is getting smaller'

😂

Brilliant!

Whoop new pants @Callmejudith i need to buy some too but covid has stopped me so feeling pants instead.

how lovely @QueenEthelTheMagnificent 😂

Ok I’m back home and back on my routine. Have really missed my protein shakes!

I’m away at a conference and struggling with hotel food a bit BUT my big news is that I'VE SPOKEN TO A REAL LIVE HUMAN ABOUT MJ!!! 😱😱😱 It was soo good to chat about it 😁

Oh wow I would love to actually talk to someone in real life about it! Did they bring it up or did you?

Sorry I'm slightly flooding this thread but I can't be bothered to do any work and I'm hot!

I've decided to bring my dose forward to today, then that gives me 4 clear injections before my big holiday at the end of August. Usually 3 weeks before a holiday I'd be in total panic diet mode but this time I feel bloody great I know for a fact that my clothes will be fitting even better by the time I go. I do need some new swimsuits which is terrifying, I might even brave a bikini or two. I have spent the afternoon going through my wardrobe have two black bin bags full for the charity shop which is a lovely feeling.

I bloody love MJ

I did a 5 mile walk today with the pram so feeling really good about that as I’ve not really done a long walk for a while!

Lol I did a quarter of a mile walk, but that's a lot further than I usually go!

I'm building up to it..........

It was a weird one actually as said person made a passing comment on not being able to eat too much and I said I completely understood and wondered if it was for the same reason as me! 😁 Person later asked if I'd had surgery and I said no, I am taking MJ!
Was so nice to actually TALK about it!!

I’m on week 5 of 2.5mg (bonus dose this week) and I’ve been fairly hungry with definite food noise, but still keeping under 1400 cals easily enough. I’ve been losing at around 2 lbs a week. I was going to stay on 2.5 for another month but wondering if I should use my next 2.5 pen and inject it every 4 or 5 days instead and build up to 5mg that way. Has anyone else done similar?

Went into the office today for the first time in 6 months.
Somebody bought a lovely packet of biscuits for us all - I didn't have any 😃 It was so easy to say no thanks and then forget about them, even though they were right in front of me on the desk.
Walked up 4 flight of stairs, when usually would have take the lift, and realised when I got back to my desk what a breeze it was. Previously I would struggle towards the end and be so out of breath I used to pray I wouldn't have to speak for a while to get my breath back.
No comments on weight loss from anyone but I don't think it's that obvious just yet (I'm still very overweight at 16 stone). And the team are probably all too nice and polite to mention my weight until it's glaringly clear.
It was good not to struggle to find something to wear too.

@Callmejudith @IReallyNeedThisToWork I've chatted with several people about MJ and my weight loss - I've pretty much been totally open about it withfriends and colleagues and have had only positive reactions and interest in how it works. Generally it's come up as people have said that they can really see that I've lost weight and wondering about what I've been trying.
However given the horrible things I've seen people write online I'm not surprised people are being careful about sharing the information.

Just took the dog for a quick late stroll round block and had to keep hoking my pants up 😂definitely need some new ones! Can’t wait to ditch these big baggy ones. Feeling heat bloated tonight though I’ve had to take my rings off as my fingers swell in the heat but it’s nice to actually feel like I’m coping with it much better. I really enjoyed eating one of the kids blue raspberry ice pops tonight felt like a treat yet virtually no calories

Hoiking up pants is so annoying! I need some more but trying to wait for a bit more loss just using the better fit ones iyswim and hoping I don't pick wrong. Luckily I wear shorts/ leggings so it's just infuriating not bare arse out 😆.

Did my first 7.5mg when I got back from holiday, no side effects. Med express are saying it's the 10mg next and want me to order but I'm considering staying on 7.5 at the moment. Next weigh in probably today or tomorrow.

The price jumps on the 10mg so I'm thinking if the 7.5 works stick to it

Morning all - only on my second week - no side effects last week but this week have had a really gurgling stomach yesterday and bad Ibs style pain last night and this am. I know everyone will have different side effects but can someone tell me this soon shall pass? Feeling a bit down in the dumps :)

@pinkstinks could it be food related? I get like this if I have one big meal rather than 2/3 smallish ones across the day. Also eating certain foods makes me feel worse. I do a food diary to keep track and definitely see a pattern. I had a work lunch yesterday and overindulged but only a little, didn't even finish my main but I did have a starter, I haven't eaten since and felt like crap all night. Hope you feel better soon!

Another small nsv this morning - put my leggings on and they went all the way upto under my boobs!!! Looking forward to
measuring on Sat to see how many inches I've lost (measuring & photos very 2 weeks while on MJ) 😁

NSV! Just walked across the hotel dining room with my phone I’m my pocket and realised the weight had pulled my trousers down😂😂😂

End of week 9 for me.
SW 18st 6lbs
CE 16st 8lbs

I'll be taking my 3rd dose of 5mg later.

Best result is my BMI is now under 40 at last.
Still a long way to go but heading in the right direction.

@Snozzlemaid wow! Amazing loss and fabulous to be under 40!! 🎉🎉🎉

@Snozzlemaid that’s brillant, well done.

i walked the dog in smaller pants this morn and they stayed put 😂I realised this morning I’ve lost 20lbs in 7weeks so over half way. I’m very aware my body will slow down its loss now as it’s been 4years since is was this size and 10years since I was lower. Last time I lost 40lbs the last 14lbs took SIX months to lose!

Couldn't wait any longer to weigh in

SW 111kg
CW 102.5kg
MidGW 99.8kg

Lost 1stone 4lb according to nutracheck.

So chuffed I must admit. Definitely tempted to stay on the 7.5. got 3 doses left (ex.bonus) so I think I'll leave it another week then order whichever I'm ordering.

I'm definitely less swollen in this heat though still sadly still feel like I'm melting/ will keel over in it but any wins good right?

8 weeks I'm down 17lb.
BMI now 28 🥳
Slow going but feels good - especially as last week I was on holiday 🌞
Clothes feeling big so spurring me on....5mg jabs

Well done everyone on their weight losses and smaller pants and chins.

I did the alcohol experiment last night. It went down easily. Most have drank since starting had prosecco, sangria and lager.

Was actually ok this morning. I think possibly as I am at the end of the 5mg so probably wise for me to move up this week. Not sure though as have a few events and breaks coming up.
