Moun-June-ers 2024 - Baggy Pants, Baggy Tops, Baggy Bras AHOY

New thread gang!

Hey hey,
Wanted to just share that I'm very excitedm I've just ordered my first 7.5mg pen.
Did 5 weeks of 2.5 (including bonus dose), then 2 x 5mg pens including bonus dose. Due to go up to 7.5 shortly. Weight loss has stalled, weirdly, as I have definitely not been eating any more (less, if anything - and doing loads more exercise). I don't really understand it. Hoping for a whoosh to get me to the last 7lbs to hit target weight.
Anyone else had a massive stall?
I had incredible initial results - I've lost 40lbs since 27th June (13 stone 6 to current 10 st 8)
Well done everyone on your losses.
I'm very hopeful of maintaining when I stop taking MJ, due to massive diet overhaul, change in mindset, and very enjoyable new exercise regime!

@daffodilandtulip I don't plan to get to that day! I CANNOT go back to the hunger, food noise, cravings etc so plan to maintain on the lowest dose I can.

@LionAndEmperor13 it might be the exercise and more muscle/retaining water in muscle. Your results have been so incredible though.

@IReallyNeedThisToWork I am definitely a bit scared of the food noise - I will be reporting in as to how I get on for sure.

@LionAndEmperor13 I’m a similar weight & loss but definitely hit the go sloooww phase now. I’m averaging 0.5lb loss now plus exercising & eating same level as before still tracking my calories. I remember at the beginning there were stats around how much % body weight you could lose on MJ on average & I think I’ve hit that point plus I’ve not been lower than this in last 30yrs so my body is definitely going utoh! Yet I’m a stone away from bmi of 25.

My weight loss is incredibly slow now, but I've gone down another bra size and can get into trousers which would have been impossible to get up my legs this time last year.

Just started on 12.5mg.

That’s great! Sometimes it’s definitely inches not pounds which happen!

@LionAndEmperor13 I think we are weight loss twins. I started on 28th June at 13st 4. I am now 10st 8.5. I have just finished my 3rd pen (7.5mg, but did not ever get above 6 mg due to side effects). How tall are you? I am 5ft 6 so my bmi is now 24. I am hoping to lose another 1.5 lb then maintain on a weekly 2.5 mg dose from a 5mg pen.

That's great! How long do you think you'll stay on 2.5?

I am the same height and got to 10.8 when I was doing loads of running a decade ago but only managed to maintain it for about 10 minutes 😂so my "natural weight" is definitely a bit more. I find it absolutely fascinating how everyone has different ideal weights even at the same height.

I did a super hard spin class this morning it was utterly relentless but I kept up. Definitely couldn't have done that a few months ago.

Just got to 3st off since the end of June!

@diian yay good for you!!
I'm teeny, 5 foot 3, so I still have a few pounds to go before I'm officially 'normal' weight.
I'm not planning a maintenance dose though, I just can't afford it!

@TheShellBeach whoooooooooooooooooooooop! Brilliant!

@diian me too! I've got to hit 10 stone to be 'normal' bmi. I've been 10.1 and 10.2 up and down last few weeks, just can't seem to shift that last bit. Ideally I'd like to get to 9 so I can just maintain at a normal weight without panicking I'm going up again. (My ideal is 7st 7 to 10st) but not sure that going to be possible. I am however very pleased with what I've lost and I'm in the gym 4 times a week working on toning and strength now x

Congrats on all the losses!

Bit of a red letter day here today as I hit 50 pounds off with MJ!

Half way to a healthy bmi!!!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork thats a brilliant loss! Xx

amazing!!

Well done @TheShellBeach that’s epic!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork me too!!

Woohoo @JomonotFomo !!! It kinda snuck up on me😂 and then I saw somebody else post a total loss in lbs so I thought I'd work it out. Seems MASSIVE and yet not real 🤦‍♀️

Well, two days after my first 12.5mg MJ, I am feeling unbelievable suppression.
Wow.

I couldn't finish my breakfast or my dinner. I am having very small portions anyway but I wasn't expecting not to be able to eat what was on my plate.

Oh well. Let's see how it goes.

You sound as though you're upset by this though?
Personally I still really enjoy cooking and eating, I just eat a lot less than before - very low calorie breakfast and lunch, and then dinner with family is normal, I just eat about a third of what I ate previously.

Some fab losses well done it’s lovely hearing all the positivity.

It made me go add up my lbs and I’ve lost 20% of my starting weight which is interesting as I’ve definitely hit the very go slow point losing 0.5lb a week and when I started I remember reading losing 20% of your starting weight was realistic. I’m still hoping to get 14lbs off to hit that illusive bmi of 25.

I've lost just over 20% too. I remember reading the stats and not believing it would be possible.

Not upset.
Surprised.

I'm enjoying eating too. I was just surprised by the degree of suppression.

It’s a bit spiky in my experience.

First month I barely ate and DH was worried as it was utterly bizarre. I’m 4 months in and on 12.5mg now and steadily had more appetite but in a healthy way and good suppression.

Just go with it. Just had a delicious dinner and some wine. Enjoyed every bite.

I've just managed to eat an ice cream.
🤣

I’m very proud of you 🤣
