I reckon I'm on track to be 14st by Christmas.

It would be even better if the scales started with a 13 by then.

Snozzlemaid · 13/11/2024 15:14

Hope you get there soon @TheShellBeach

I got 14st 1lb on the scales this morning so also looking forward to seeing 13 something very soon.
I was last 13 stone in 2006 - it feels unreal the amount I've lost now most of the time!

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 13/11/2024 20:32

@IReallyNeedThisToWork I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope you're able to take the time to get through this tough time. I had a bereavement in March which is still all too fresh, thinking of you. (Fabulous sneaky pre-weigh day loss!)

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 13/11/2024 20:38

@Sewfrickinamazeballs thank you 😔

Newme24 · 14/11/2024 06:20

@Snozzlemaid ohhh so close to the 13's. That's exciting!!

The last 3 injections I've had really bad reactions at the site. So itchy and red and a lump. I'm wondering why. I've not changed where or how I'm doing them but the itching is driving me insane. Anybody else randomly started getting g this? It's weird because I've not had this before. Just seems to be this pen??

daffodilandtulip · 14/11/2024 07:38

FINALLY!!! Target reached!!! 3 stone gone!!!

SW 15th June 13st 7lb BMI 36.9
CW 10st 7lb BMI 28.7

22% of my body weight gone in just under 22 weeks. I'm amazed. This is pre baby weight, and they are teens.

(I mean, it's not my target anymore, it was the original "unrealistic" target so I'm doing another month or two to see what happens!)

Megarea · 14/11/2024 08:13

@Newme24 I started randomly reacting to the injection in that way on my third pen I think, a couple of pens later I'm not reacting as much again. It seems to be fairly common that a reaction can happen like this and whilst you should definitely keep an eye on it and check the side effects list to see what you should consult your doctor about, a mild raised lump and itching at site is not necessarily anything to worry about.
Taking an antihistamine can help and I used a hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching.

Megarea · 14/11/2024 08:15

Third dose of second 10mg pen today.

SW 252.6 lb
CW 206.8 lb
Total loss: 45.8 lbs

NSV is comfortably wearing some size 16 skinny jeans!

Merryoldgoat · 14/11/2024 08:30

Urgh. My body won’t lose anything. I know it will pass but it’s infuriating. I’ve been on a plateau for around 3 weeks.

I’m moving up a dose tomorrow so let’s see what happens!

I’ve had this too. However I also had it when injecting blood thinners daily during pregnancy so I assume it’s nothing to worry about.

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 14/11/2024 08:40

@Newme24 I’ve seen several posts about this. A lot of people have success with a slightly longer needle which may be worth trying?
@daffodilandtulip AMAZING! Well done!
@Megarea size 16 skinnies is impressive!! Have just ordered some 16s so we shall see…
@Merryoldgoat fingers crossed it starts shifting again🤞🤞

AutumnStorms11 · 14/11/2024 10:13

@Newme24 ive had that red raised itchy reaction for last 6-doses always on days 2-4 I use hydrocortisone cream& take antihistamine which helps.
@daffodilandtulip whoop well done amazing
@Merryoldgoat everutime that’s happened to me I’ve had a carb heavy day then done intensive exercise the next day and it’s shifted a 1lb, but equally once I hit a loss of 20% my start weight I’ve definitely hit a much slower loss period.
@Megarea hope you enjoy rocking those jeans

AutumnStorms11 · 14/11/2024 10:15

I’m at bmi 25.5 whoop still hovering at 10st1lb but the scales briefly flicked to a 9.13 which I honestly can’t remember every seeing a 9 on the scales in 30yrs!

TheShellBeach · 14/11/2024 12:32

Goodness @AutumnStorms11 that's so exciting!

And well done @daffodilandtulip also very exciting!

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 14/11/2024 16:49

Week 21 weigh in and an nsv (of sorts!).

So the 3lb loss has stuck overnight!!! 🎉

Fast 800 SW: 17 st 7lbs
MJ SW: 16st 12lbs
CW: 12st 10lbs

Happy to be out of the teens!
Hit my 4th MJ stone!
And appear to need a smaller cuff for my blood pressure monitor! 😂

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 14/11/2024 16:50

That’s incredible @AutumnStorms11!!!

TheShellBeach · 15/11/2024 11:52

Yay! Lost another 1lb.

So I'm 14st 7lb now.

I started off at 20st 2lb last, January.

I'm hoping to reach 6st off by Christmas.
Goal is 9st 4lb.

I feel the same just feel stuck.

Callmejudith · 11/11/2024 08:46

@Newme24 amazing loss! So much talk about the injections everywhere now I'm so pleased I started in June before it was a huge "thing" and can definitely still get away with the lie.

@AutumnStorms11 that must be hard with your mum (but also probably quite good motivation to keep it off!)

There is a lot of talk.

An article in the fail today saying Sharon osbourne has gone too far and ruined her metabolism. Apparently she can't gaun weight. Hmm sure isnt it the opposite once we stop?

I think there will always be a lot of talk about well-known people who take MJ.

I just enjoy reading this thread and seeing what everyone is doing on here.

🤣

TheShellBeach · 15/11/2024 12:17

And yes, the weightloss does definitely slow down.

I'm very happy to lose 1 - 2lb a week. Or even to stay static.

It's going to come off eventually.

Callmejudith · 15/11/2024 14:10

Yes I think anyone in the public eye who loses a significant amount of weight now is going to be attributed to injections. I don't really care, I just want our little group to do well!

My 12:8 has actually gone pretty well this week. I absolutely love my first proper coffee of the day so I have to be careful when I have that as I know it's going to break the fast. I have also been really good with the gym this week - lots of weights lifted!

JomonotFomo · 15/11/2024 17:02

So I did a weigh in spoiler a few days ago but it is weigh day today!

SW 15st 12
CW 11st 13

this weeks loss 2.5lb. Just a pound to 4st which hopefully I’ll achieve in the next week or so.

I have had a huge haul of size M and 14 and even the odd 12 clothes arrive from Vinted! I feel pretty good right now!
