@Fourfurrymonsters once I did a 7lb poo

Claim to fame and embarrassment lol

Hopefully you will go soon

7lb???

Blimey, talk about a poo baby. How on earth do you know it was that heavy? Actually I don't think I want details!

4th jab tonight but pen stuck. What to do? Should I try hard twist?

FlappingMadly · 13/09/2024 23:00

It’s stuck as in won’t move past the o priming.

FlappingMadly · 13/09/2024 23:10

Hard twist doesn’t work anyway. It’s well and truly stuck. Do I use a syringe or leave it and instead use my 5mg pen for 30 clicks? Argh! Stressed!

FlappingMadly · 13/09/2024 23:25

In the end I did 30 clicks of my 5mg pen.

Addictedtobeauty · 13/09/2024 23:25

Use a syringe! You can’t be wasting a dose.

FlappingMadly · 13/09/2024 23:46

Don’t intend to waste it but dug syringe out of a drawer and would rather use a new one. Plus am pretty cross and thought I might need to send proof.

When it happened to me I went out and bought an insulin syringe to do the dose that way.

The thought of losing a dose worth 60 pounds plus a bonus dose of 60 pounds cured my needle phobia pretty quickly.

Wingingit11 · 14/09/2024 05:35

jeeeeee. First time having a bit of a blow out on carby stuff for Friday dinner and have been up and down like a yoyo with a dodge stomach. Thought i was going to be sick at one point too! That won’t be repeated🫠 though maybe it’s just a shock to system anyway after resting well for six weeks.
i really need to raise dose now. Interesting reading people about to move to 7.5 and im
only on 4

Just a pound for me this week. I'm not really surprised as the suppression hasn't been too strong and although I've not snacked, my portion sizes have crept up. Just done my final 2.5 jab, will see how it goes this week and will be going straight to 5 next Saturday.

SW 14st 9lb
CW 13st 13lb

We're off to Anfield today to watch the football and we're driving back tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to find some decent choices as we have hospitality tickets.

Have a good day/week everyone!

cosylife · 14/09/2024 08:24

Weigh day today and my first 5mg dose later.

SW: 16 stone 3lbs
CW: 14 stone 12lbs

I’m over the moon! I’ve lost 1 stone 5lbs in 4 weeks. I’m expecting my weight loss to slow down a bit as my first week I lost 12lbs, but I’m excited to carry on feeling healthy and getting these lbs off!

GoodLuckBabe · 14/09/2024 08:33

@cosylife amazing, well done!
@Pinkjenny enjoy the football, hospitality tickets sound like fun! Hopefully there will be some better options there than the usual burgers/fish and chips etc! and if not, who cares? Moderation!
I’m hanging on for tomorrow. Moved up to 5mg eeek before last, but the nausea was too much, so last Sunday I jabbed 3.75mg. Should have just stuck to 5mg as I have really struggled the last few days to avoid eating my typical PMT comfort foods. I have just had chocolate digestives for breakfast 😬. Don’t want to bring my jab day forward as have a rare meal out later. On the plus side it looks as though I have still lost 2lb this week so have obviously managed to just about manage quantities.
have a lovely weekend, all ☀️

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/09/2024 09:05

For those asking I was curious as hasn't been for a few days. This was a few years back and felt like it was going to be a big one (faaaaaaaaaar tmi) !!!!

So I weighed myself before poo. And after.

I didn't weigh the poo

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/09/2024 09:07

Well done on losses everyone

Those who started early aug will be ordering 7.5 for next dose but it will still be 2w till I actually take it

3rs dose of 5 is next fri

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/09/2024 09:09

Had a wee and Went to bed at 10 as shattered /jab and working nights

Then woke and weed - 12 2 4 6 8

Drives me insane I wee so much after jabbing

NippyCrab · 14/09/2024 09:14

Morning, I'm buckled laughing at the poo, when I first moved in with my Husband I had an enormous poo and it blocked the loo. I was absolutely mortified and he actually unblocked the loo for me, I knew then it was for life after poogate 😂

NippyCrab · 14/09/2024 09:17

I weighed in this morning and I have a number 12 on my scales I can't believe it, I gave a victory punch to the air! I'm now 12.12.8 so 2lbs off this week. 💪🥳🥳🎊🎊💃💃💃
It's been years since there was a 12 on the scales.
I LOVE MJ AND ALL OF YOU!! 💓💓💓💓

Pinkjenny · 14/09/2024 09:17

Has anyone noticed any menstrual changes? I have no idea whether it's just usual peri symptoms but Jesus wept I feel like I've been bleeding for weeks.

AnnieMcFanny · 14/09/2024 09:20

And we love you too Nippy 😍

Congratulations on reaching such a significant milestone 💐

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/09/2024 09:24

Well done @NippyCrab

HamAlive · 14/09/2024 09:56

Ahhh that's amazing @NippyCrab , so pleased for you!

Howling at "I didn't weigh the poo" 🤣

Zippitydoodaa · 14/09/2024 10:09

Going to see Texas in Glasgow tonight and since I've lost 2 st ,I'm wearing some nice trousers / top and box jacket.

Usually ,embarrassed ,the biggest of my friends, wearing big size clothes and always thinking " I m going to start dieting when I get home"

Yes have picked one up! I will absolutely not waste it! I just didn’t want to miss my jab.

If it makes you feel better, weeing and breathing is how you lose the weight.

"When body fat is broken down for energy through complex processes within your cells, two major byproducts are released — carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is exhaled during breathing, and the water is disposed of through either urine, sweat, or exhaled air."

So it's the weight leaving your body! Silver lining? 🤣
