Anyone care to share their weekly losses?
Think it's good for people to see that there are a variety of losses.

My first weigh in is tomorrow so will share then :)

Started 12.5mg this week and so far so good. No bad side effects compared to when I started 10mg.

Goodluck girlie's x

Fantastic! Well done you! Can I ask how you decided your target? Mine was 170lbs but I'm 8lbs away and now wondering if I should change. I'm still large lol

Originally, I decided to go for top end of healthy BMI which is 12st but now I am closer ( less than a stone from that) I am thinking of a new target of 10.5st which is BMI 22.5 so right in the middle of healthy BMI.
I am still on 5mg and will stay on this while I am still losing but I am expecting massive sticking point at 12 st 3ish or just before. I was that weight for years, always just a bit above healthy BMI.
So, the answer is,I'm not really sure what my target is! 😅
I need to get to 12st and then I'll decide but the thought of being the same weight as I was in my 20s is appealing! Xx

InfoSecInTheCity · 07/06/2025 21:00

@BigFatty I did this TDEE calculator and it gives an ‘ideal weight’ so just went with that.it works out as slap bang in the middle of the healthy BMI range. I’m about 7lbs off and my belly still has a fair bit of excess flab so may end up wanting to go a bit lower.

Thanks for the help! My healthy BMI is apparently 10 stone. I would look ill with gigantic BOOBS. Maybe if I get a boob reduction I'd eventually hit 10 stone lol.

I went clothes shopping and comfortable in a 14 jeans. Could have probably squeezed into a 12. Shocking!!. Also have a holiday next month - looking forward to seeing if I am still uncomfortable in the heat - that'll be a big indicator in deciding if I need to reduce Goal further.

The same weight as your twenties sounds fab! Mini skirts and nightclubs again?? 🤣🤣

Thanks for the help! Youre so close thats amazing! Maybe the 7lbs will all come off your belly :).

120-129 that told me I should aim for. Thats another 58lbs. Sounds very low to me - maybe it's the height as im a short arse! But I'm very big busted (which isn't fun) so I would look ill elsewhere at that weight lol.

I'm finding bones I didn't know existed. I've had to stop wearing underwired bras as who knew there were bones and they hurt?? Aka rib cage 🤣🤣🤣

BreezyPeer · 08/06/2025 09:24

@BigFatty that thing with the bras is so true! Thought it was just me. I always used to take my bra off as soon as I got home, so uncomfortable. Then, put weight on, no problems . . . And now I've lost weight again bras are torture 🙃 that's a side effect I didn't expect 🤣🤣🤣

BreezyPeer · 08/06/2025 09:28

@InfoSecInTheCity the TDEE calculator says 10st 1- 10st 6! So maybe my stretch target isn't as stretching as I thought 😅

@BigFatty I’ve been obese since primary school so had no frame of reference for what ‘healthy bmi’ would look like on me and was convinced I’d look like a walking skeleton. This picture is BMI 24ish, I’ve been as high as 21st (BMI 40+) and gone up and down but never any lighter than I was when I started MJ last September at just under 16st. Currently 10st 7lb

Re girl weights, it's a tough one to decide isn't it? It's also difficult to know how I'll look at my previous happy weight. My GW 11st 7 is still in the overweight BMI.

Agree! The last time I was 13st I was a size 12 and trim! I look back at the photos and miss it - even though I'm now lighter I am nowhere near the same shape! I guess that's what happens when I've aged 15 years since lol.

Congrats on the loss!!

I didn’t get round to posting my results after a week away when I wasn’t able to weight myself and had ate and drank a lot of calories. However, since coming home on Friday, I have seen most of the gain disappear so hopefully by next week I’ll be back on track.

You’re all doing so well and such an inspiration 🙌

After a weekend with friends and lots of food and drink, a 1lb weight loss this week was not surprising (it was over 2lbs on Friday morning ☹️). It’s all still going in the right direction though 😊

Keep on, keeping on (off!) everyone 🤞

Was on a mini break and drank beer & cocktails each evening. Although was shocked at the high gain as I couldn't eat much & did eat healthy.

Hoping for a big loss next week to get back on track.

Justformounjaro · 22/06/2025 10:39

If you are anything like me, that weight will come off by next week. I always gain a couple of pounds after our Friday night takeaway, wine, and peanuts, and more when we’ve been away for a few days. I also think the weather is having an effect on my weight just now.

You're exactly right - weighed this morning (2 days after the 6lbs gain) and I'm already down 4lbs. The heat has my fingers all swollen so I feel you there!

Hope you're having a good week and thanks for the reassurance x
