Incredible @Sewfrickinamazeballs - 5 stone!!

Yay! Well done you.

Well done @Sewfrickinamazeballs

i was thinking one of the things I find tricky about losing weight is I almost enjoy the rush of losing weight more than being slim. I mean I’ve never stayed slim long enough to form an opinion I guess, never actually reached goal ever. Usually I get bored once it starts to get tricky.

I just wonder what strategies I can put in place to motivate myself to maintain.

@Sewfrickinamazeballs that is sewfrickinamazing!! Congratulations. I am lagging behind 😂
However I finally dropped into the 12's, which I find astonishing, so I'm about 3 1/2" stone down now.
Plus I got back into my knee length boots which have been in the garage for an unknown amount of years ( I know I bought them 8 years ago because it came up in my fb feed today, but I don't know how long I wore them before my calves got too fat - I suspect one season only)

@Sewfrickinamazeballs OUTSTANDING effort!! Congratulations you super human you!!!
@thesugarbumfairy whoop whoop for the boots! 🎉🎉

Week 24 weigh in and I’m down a pound. Weird, weird week which has seen constipation and diarrhoea, weight loss, weight gain and very little appetite 🤷‍♀️

Fast 800 SW: 17 st 7lbs
MJ SW: 16st 12lbs
CW: 12st 3lbs

Want the 11s SO badly but am just trying to ride out the weirdness right now.

Thank you everyone! This also means I am no longer obese, just overweight. Feels goooooood!

@thesugarbumfairy well done! This is awesome. Great news on the boots!

First dose of third 10mg pen today.
SW 252.6 lb
CW 201.4 lb
Total loss: 51.2 lbs
Whoosh week related to stinking cold and moving house so I have been running around manically carrying things and very little appetite.
Can't believe I've lost over 20% of my original body weight!

my wedding ring no longer fits

eek!

Weird one - anybody else gone up a dose and skidded to a halt? I’ve weighed this morning (daily weigher 🙂) and am 3lbs up on yesterday!!

Now I know this isn’t 3lbs of fat I’ve put on overnight but last week was fairly similar with a 2-3lb gain at the start of the week and then the rest of the week spent losing that to scrape a 1lb loss.

Do I assume it’s just my system slowing right down due to the higher dose?

Not gonna lie, it’s PISSING ME RIGHT OFF and I am having some fairly self-destructive food thoughts after so many months of great focus😫

That happens to me all the time, but the trend is always downwards after a few more days.
And losing 1lb a week is fine. There's nothing wrong with that.

@TheShellBeach it’s not the 1lb loss, I am very happy with that. It’s more the overnight 3lb gain that is annoying me. Along with the subsequent ‘fuck it, I’ll start on the tub of Celebrations’ thoughts that I am having 😡

I’d thought I was in a pattern and kind of knew what to expect after 24 weeks but here goes my body throwing me another curve ball!

My engagement ring fell off in the sea whilst on a boat trip in Turkey. Still can’t believe a young man swam down and retrieved it for me. Need to get my rings resized. 😂

I'm wearing size 14 jeans today.

Unbelievable. This time last year, I was in size 24.

Weigh in for me! I’m down 2lb!

start weight 15st 12!
current weight 11st7!

Total loss 61lb! I now weigh less than my husband by over 2st!!

Next mini goal is to get to 11st5 which will be 4.5stone

then the 10s and under bmi 25 (10lb to go!)

eek!!

Wow 🤩 that is fantastic!

I have lost 1st 5lb so far with 4 stone to go. It so lovely hearing of yours and others success.

@IReallyNeedThisToWork hang in there it’s hard mentally not to get that constant down trend feeling. I only lost 3lbs in the last 4 weeks but my shape has changed and the inches are shrinking. Definitely track measurements too and know that if you’re making healthy choices it will count. My body has definitely plateaued I’ve seasawed for a few weeks now 2lbs up / down Sat at a a bmi 25.5 so ideally I still like to shift 7lbs to get into the healthy zone.

Well done all and thanks for those in maintenance who are sharing how it is going.

I hit the 11's today, new front numbers. 11.12 which is a BMI of 26.8. Nearly 4 stone down.

I have dropped down to 5mg this week as sick of the sickness.

Has anyone elses hangy belly shrank?I am
sure when I was this weight before my belly wasn't hangy but just protruding. It is as though it has gone beyond its elastic limit and will now always havr this hanging shelf of a belly.

@coffeeandteav I’ve had that hangy belly for 24yrs now 😭

when I got pregnant with my eldest I put on 4.5stone. No stretch marks until 41wks then suddenly they appeared overnight. And that was it really. Once I had her I lost weight and was left with a wrinkled pouchy overhang.

the only time my skin fits is when I’m 9m pregnant! Or very overweight.

Ive personally not found anything to help much, although running did seem to reduce the overhang on my hips.

Argh I've always hated my overhanging belly.

Four babies (two were over 9lb) didn't help.

It's much less obvious now, and I can see a big difference when I look sideways in the mirror.

I expect it'll always be there, even when I'm a healthy BMI.

Very happy with how things are going. I've dropped three bra sizes!

@TheShellBeach 3 of my 5 were over 9lb too. The other 2 were just an ounce or two under.

It's not surprising we've got a bit of an overhang!

I went three weeks late with two of them, too. So I was pregnant forever.

I never went that far but all the little darlings were overdue and 4/5 induced! I’m too blooming comfy!

Klaxon
I saw a number 9 on my scales this morning!! 9 stone 13.
I'm now at my goal weight!
I haven't been this light for 10 years.
I have one more dose (7.5mg), which I should have taken today but haven't felt like I need it so I might delay until tomorrow or the day after.
And then I'm going it alone, eek!!!
Total loss is 188 lbs to 139 lbs. Wish me luck!
😃

Oh gosh - I was like that with stretch marks - nothing until about 36 weeks and then I woke up looking like Freddy Kreuger had attacked me.

He was 11lb though so not surprising. If I hadn’t been flabby to start with I think I’d have had much worse.

I’m still very fat but when I’m finally not the overhang will be horrifying.

Thats amazing welll done. How long did it take you?
