@IReallyNeedThisToWork it's mad isn't it. Under four months. I'm just constantly looking at my weight chart in shock.

Are people keeping on with the injections whilst away or stopping? I've got a long weekend just away after I'm due to start the next pen and I don't know whether to just to stop for a week or is that going to sabotage things?

I carried on. I took my pen on holiday with me.

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 28/09/2024 13:11

@Pashazade I took mine with me. I do not want to allow the 'eat everything in sight' monster that lurks within any space at all!

That's exactly how I felt.
I was only on 5mg at that point, and although I definitely ate less than usual, I was entirely capable of eating ice cream.

I carried on. To keep this weight off once I stop the injections, it's got to be a lifestyle change. If I start saying, just one weekend away, just one all inclusive holiday, just one takeaway; I'll be back where I started.

I was away for 3 weeks and carried on with the medication. Didn’t find it a problem.

Pashazade · 28/09/2024 16:38

Ok that's unanimous, I shall be brave and continue whilst away. 🙂

coffeeandteav · 29/09/2024 14:16

How is everyone?

I haven't been on in a while. I have been,what I think of as cheating. I think my disordered eating is that bad. I have been using 5mg in order to still scoff and drink on a weekend. What is wrong with me?

Weirdly I have not gained and have managed to maintain. Messing about for weeks.I think it definitely does something for blood sugar. I have been eating and drinking a lot.

I need to stop faffing! I have gone back to 7.5mg today. I want to eat healthy and get back on track. I can't live like that it isn't healthy. It is so hard to cure your brain though.

Hope everyone is well.

Hi @coffeeandteav my scales aren't working!

So I'm waiting for Amazon to send some new ones.

In the meantime I'm eating lots of Polo mints. You know, really healthy stuff. 😂

No booze though. Sticking with 10mg.

Ahhhhh no! Well you may get a nice surprise when you do get them.

Callmejudith · 29/09/2024 15:36

@coffeeandteav I've been similar tbh. Another wedding this weekend and while I still definitely didn't eat and drink anything like the quantities I would have done before MJ it was still a LOT. I have been microdosing 2.5 2x a week and it's not cutting it. I've just done my first ever dose of 5. Wish me luck!

Soon time for a new thread.

Absolutely! I have 13 days until my birthday and am planning to really get back on the gym routine, good food and lots and lots of water

Oh god, please send help!! I have the most horrendous hangover after having family over for a roast yesterday and drinking Prosecco and wine 😩😩😩

I didn't even have that much by my old standards but more than I've had since the very early MJ weeks.

Definitely won't be doing that again!

TheShellBeach · 30/09/2024 11:49

Just ordered some new scales.

And trying to decide whether or not to go to 12.5mg of MJ.

I could extract a 12.5mg dose from my 10mg pen, and give it a go.

Callmejudith · 30/09/2024 12:12

@IReallyNeedThisToWork get on the water - loads and loads of it!

A guy at work has started on MJ. He has struggled with his weight for years but I would say is now at a completely healthy weight. He said he got it because his BMI is over 27. I'm really concerned about him but of course me being on MJ is a big secret. Argh

It's also prompted a lot of commentary from people about the jabs. Trying to keep my cool.

@Callmejudith oh I am, believe me!! About 2.5 litres in already 👍
Not sure it's helping the upset stomach too much though 😬 Why oh why did I do this to myself!🤦‍♀️

daffodilandtulip · 04/10/2024 18:15

Well ladies, I was thoroughly miserable because I haven't lost this week. However, I've finally given in after wearing the same top all week (I do wash) and have bought a winter's selection of lovely clothes.

Not only are they all in small ... but there is one item in EXTRA SMALL. No more XL here!

Bitezbabe · 05/10/2024 08:05

Another milestone this morning. SW 14.8 today 12.8!! 2 stone down. Feels so good when you reach a target. Next target is 12 stone.

Snozzlemaid · 05/10/2024 08:09

Brilliant @Bitezbabe 👏👏👏
Well done on reaching a 2 stone loss, that's a great achievement.
