MJ August starters #5

[Wingingit11]

Welcome, August starters ! Can’t believe we are on thread 5🫣

I'm a weekly weigher rather than daily. I just can't cope with seeing a gain one day and then a loss the next for no apparent reason. It's bad enough seeing it weekly!

think it's only me who only weighs weekly

I only weigh weekly. I’d drive myself potty otherwise.

I'm not weighing myself again for a while. This cold is just hanging around and while my stats for the day aren't awful, they're nothing to write home about either.

Hi fives

Me neither

Another 3oz and would have been the size of mini blondes when born

Well if I thought the suppression hadn't kicked in yesterday it definitely has today 🤢 very tired of this cold now though so im hoping it disappears soon so I can get back to the gym

I think I'm going to weigh less often too. At first, seeing the numbers drop so quickly was such a boost but it's like a more realistic slog now.

I try to weigh daily - makes losses/gains more predictable as I can see what impact the day before has had to attribute future impact. This helped me get through my weight loss plateau - I was looking at things with a magnifying glass! I have body composition scales and they help attribute changes to water weight for example.

I start a new pen/dose this week which is exciting. However I’m starting to feel food noise coming back, although I have appetite suppression. Anyone else feel similar? My thoughts are suddenly dominated by junk food, my finger steadily hovering over the order button in the deliveroo app, yet I don’t feel hungry enough to order any junk food as I still have suppression.

It makes me feel like I might want to stay on MJ long term to avoid relapse. Life is quite stressful and I think I’d have limited willpower if it wasn’t for MJ!

Also sorry to those of you who have colds whilst being on MJ - it is one of the weirdest feelings and you do feel that much more under the weather when you can’t eat normally. I constantly felt weak/dehydrated

That's how im starting to feel. Very done with it now, worried the lack of food is meaning I can't fight the cold properly

I'm on the 4th week of first 5mg pen and I've recently started to really struggle to finish my 1200 calories a day. The suppression seems to be increasing over the month. I've ordered another 5mg pen and I'm glad I did because I really want to carry on with 1200 calories for the foreseeable future.

Aww, that’s how I felt - it was like a cycle. I couldn’t even get a hot drink down.

For what it’s worth, my cold lasted the same amount of time as normal so it didn’t actually prolong things.

I ended up raiding Boots and got dehydration sachets drinks, cold&flu tablets, cough syrup and soothers and eventually felt human again

@eeeeeeeee I've had 3.5l of water today, some fruit and veg and some protein, im going to take an iron tablet and night nurse before bed and hope that helps 🤣

@itwasnevermine night nurse sorts everything out! lol

Has anyone had a covid jab since they've been on MJ?

I've got one booked at GP on Saturday and not particularly enthusiastic about the prospect of having it.

@MissFancyDay it will be my 2nd or 3rd prick of the day fri 😂

Having covid and flu same time. Lucky me

Plus mj no 1 prick

It really does! I had what can only be described as hallucinations last night, so fingers crossed 🤣

Re Covid jab - no, I have my flu jab on Thursday though. Triple whammy this week

Actually they do usually offer me the flue jab in the other arm. All the jabs!!

I’ve had the flu jab - no issues at all

Yep I get double jabbed have been the last 3 October /Nov

I slept so well, thank god 😭 I didn't even move for 7.5hrs 🤣 hopefully I start feeling better today and I can have a better end to the week

Weigh in for me today. 3rd 5mg jab last night. -5lbs which means I’m 1lb shy of 2 stone 🤭
Weigh ins: -7, -5, -3, -2, -5, -5

Weigh in day

SW 102.8KG
CW 94.3KG

Just taken my second 5mg and started jabbing in the thigh with no side effects ☺️

Good luck to you all for the rest of the week! X

Well done @SilverSprings510 and @lmmj15 !!

Eugh I'm still constipated... drinking loads so can't up that, will have to take something today.

Oh and for those interested in the period side effects, I've just started... so looks like it will have caused my periods to start again whilst on the coil... weird!

Amazing. Well done
