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

[Callmejudith]

New thread gang!

Week 36 weigh in. I started my last 10mg pen last week and I've had awful side effects for the first time ever. Nausea, headaches, shakes. I wasn't sure what to do as it's the first time in a whole that I've lost more than a pound in a week, but I'm thinking it's too high now I've lost so much weight, so I've used less clicks today and had 7.5mg. I'll probably go down to 5mg next week and use that as maintenance for a while.

SW 13st 7lb BMI 36.6
CW 9st 6lb BMI 25.8

Total loss 4st 1lb (57lbs), 30% of my body weight.

4lbs to go until "normal" weight!! Never in a million years did I think I'd be saying that.

Oh my gosh! I lost 3lbs over night. What a whoosh!

I am now 10.13 and a healthy BMI. Lost 63lbs.

So happy. Do not want to go back. My skin is a bit hangy. Will have to get to the gym.

It is an amazing feeling!

Sorry about the side affects. It can be awful. I have had bad sickness all of the way through. To the point I don't feel it is working if I don't feel absolute nauseous for at least 2 days. 🤦‍♀️

Congratulations @coffeeandteav & @daffodilandtulip 🥳🥳

I am now a “normal bmi” as of this morning 🤯
38 weeks and 5 stone lost, There have been times when I thought I’d never see that word next to my weight ever again especially within a year.
Ive only had 3 weeks at 7.5 but I’m feeling really nauseous this week so I’ll probably go back down to 5. I’m the same with the loose skin, hoping in a few months it will start to look a bit better. I’ve been looking online at the laser treatments to tighten around the eyes, it looks to have brilliant results but I’d be too petrified to actually get it done!

Amazing!

I have had botox in my forehead. Was easier than thought.
I need a turkey neck lift. But I am scared to go further than botox.
I have looked at threading but I am not sure.

I had Botox a few years ago and I needed a top up after the 2 weeks as I just looked surprised all the time 😂 happy with it afterwards but it seemed to wear off really quickly.
I never thought about the threads for neck, I need something though

My aesthetic lady tells me I should try skin boosters in my neck. Something about magical salmon dna fixing the turkey neck 🤷🏼‍♀️

Interesting will take a look.

Week 36 weigh in - down 3lbs! Definitely sticking with the 10mg for my next (maybe last for loss!!!) pen.

MJ SW: 16st 12lbs bmi 43.2
CW: 10st 6lbs bmi 26.7!!!!!

So, so close now! A mere 10lbs to healthy and 20 to my current goal (I have a fantasy goal too but fear I may look like a bag of bones 😂)

@Time4changeagain HUGE congratulations on the healthy bmi! It must seem almost unreal (tbh, the whole thing seems unreal to me!).

Re loose skin - I can kind of live with my neck but it’s the arms, bely and legs that are freaking me out! I look like a screwed up carrier bag 😫 and we won’t talk about the state of my boobs! I read something on Reddit from a woman in her 60s who said that her skin had improved a lot over the course of a year so I am going to hope time sorts at least a little of it…

Wow that’s an AMAZING loss @IReallyNeedThisToWork It does feel unreal doesn’t it! I originally had in my head that I wanted to lose another stone but…. I’m really starting to resemble a melted candle 🙈 Especially my arse! I can’t exercise due to disability either so I’m going to stop the injections now and try my best to maintain without. I do have a spare pen in the fridge with an August expiry date just in case though

SW 252.6 lb
CW 191.8 lb
Total loss: 60.8 lbs

Woo-hoo, almost 4 week stall has broken wth nearly 2lb loss!

I have put on 5lbs this week. Wouldn't say I have eaten loads but I have not been tracking.

I am sure some is water weight. It is showing me how easy it goes on though.

Week 37 weigh in, and after reducing to 7.5 last week, the side effects have gone but I haven't lost any. A bit annoying because I'm desperate to make "normal", but I've already passed my goal so I should be happy!

Weighed in with a loss this week after a few weeks staying the same.

Start weight: 15st 12
Current Weight: 10st 11.5
This weeks loss: 2lb
total loss 5st 0.5lb

I never thought losing 5st would be possible, it seemed totally insurmountable back in May.
I have been 1.5lb to get to a bmi of 25. Then I just don’t know. I probably don’t want to lose much more tbh.

As much as I’m absolutely loving looking and feeling better I am finding lying about how I’ve lost the weight increasingly hard. People have suddenly started to notice and I feel like they know I couldn’t have done it alone. And so I waffle something that probably sounded plausible when I had lost 1-2stone but idk why I feel so uncomfortable/embarrassed about it.

Well done on your amazing loss@JomonotFomo
I totally understand how you feel regarding feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed etc. I’ve just spent a while reading the thread in AIBU and a lot of the comments and views on there are truly mind blowing. The judgment of being overweight was bad enough but using WLI seems to be worse in a lot of peoples eyes! Which is why I will just continue to say I’ve overhauled my diet & stopped eating crap, which in all fairness is not a lie

@JomonotFomo Yep, totally get it. I HATE being asked how I have lost weight. Why do people do this?? You don't go up to a fat person and ask them how they got that way. I also struggle with coming up with a reason.

11st 3.5 for me now, lost another 4lb so 6stone 3 now. I am a comfortable size 14, I think I am actually a 12 possibly in some clothes but my mind needs a bit of catching up first to be brave enough to try a 12!

Had a scare yesterday when I thought my prescription would be refused. They asked for three different photos, saying each one didn't pass their regulations. Then they were querying in depth why I was reducing the dose - because of side effects - but it felt like they were going to say no because I had side effects! Took a whole day of emails and photos back and forth before it was finally sent!

So I'm going down to 7.5 this time which although I feel bad suited me better now, I haven't lost this week (although we did have a birthday party - didn't overeat but it's calorific food isn't it 🤔).

I feel like 9st 6 is my limit. I don't know what I think, as I was so happy with my 4 stone loss, 3 stone was my target ... but all I can see are my fat bits now 🙈

@JomonotFomo It’s a pain isn’t it? I’ve had one person say ‘so all I have to do is go to the gym all the time and I can eat what I like’ and another say ‘are you still not drinking as I thought that was how you’d lost all the weight’ I just nod and smile 🤦🏼‍♀️
@Sewfrickinamazeballs I know what you mean re clothes sizes! I bought size 12 jeans as my first ever Vinted purchase and knew they would never fit… I wore them out today!!! 😱

Anyway, week 37 weigh in and another 3lbs down! Definitely won’t be able to maintain on 10mg when I finally get there as I am losing at such a rate on it!

7lbs to a healthy bmi and 17 to goal!! My mind is REALLY turning to maintenance now…

SW 252.6 lb
CW 191.6 lb

Total loss: 61 lbs

Tiny weight loss this week but I'll take it, especially as my period appeared out of nowhere so I'm surprised I haven't gained. 2 more lbs and I'll have lost 25% of my original weight.

Week 32 11.9
Week 33 11.5
Week 34 11.3
Week 35 11.3
Week 34 11.2
Week 35 11.3
Week 36 11.0

I broke the 10 barrier in the week but wasn't my official weigh in. I am finding it hard to lose even on 10mg!!!

The enjoyment of eating after all this time is still back a bit. Food noise not as bad as before but not sure it ever truly goes away completely. Definitely get fuller quickly though still.

Week 38 and a tiny loss that just carried me into the next pound. I feel better for reducing the dose but the loss is slooowww. I just want to be "normal" - 3lbs to go.

SW 13st 7lbs 36.6
CW 9st 5lbs BMI 25.6

Total loss 4st 2lbs (58lbs) - 30% of my body weight.

I'm still in shock when I look at myself and when I try to buy new clothes. It's mad. I've started buying the odd summer dress now and they are teeny!

I'm losing the will 😂Its sooooo slow and I'm STILL technically obese. I am buying size 14s now though and I finally bought new knickers and bras that actually fit me. And I have managed to get into the 11st bracket. Just keep plodding away and hoping more will come off in time.
I did have to modify my doses because I was just getting horrible diarrhea on 12.5mg - so now I take 5mg every three days which is better but not perfect. I'm down 4 1/2" stones now, which I'm proud of but more conscious of my saggy skin which was inevitable frankly but I particularly hate the bingo wings.

@daffodilandtulipand @thesugarbumfairy sorry things are going so slowly but at least they going in the right direction.

I’ve just had some fairly major dental surgery so am feeling very sorry for myself and munched (sucked?) my way through some soft biscuits yesterday (for the first time in nearly 9 months) and was momentarily surprised by my reflection as I hadn’t shot back up to my previous obese size! Brains are weird things!!

No weigh in yet this week as I didn’t bring my scales away with me. Been eating loads of bread and crisps though so who knows what delights will await me when I get home and get on the scales 😫

Keep plodding on everyone!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork thanks! Lost another pound since Saturday so feeling better. 2lb to normal!

I'm so sick of people commenting though. Nobody noticed the first four stone. Now suddenly, it's "oh don't lose any more weight" "you're wasting away" "you'll get ill if you lose any more". I'M STILL OVERWEIGHT!!!

Hi, have mainly been lurking but feeling a bit selfish about that as I do appreciate all your updates! And it's always useful to get a benchmark too so I should probably contribute :D

So my experiences are that since Christmas the weight loss has really slowed - it was about 9lbs a month before, but is now more like 5lb a month. I was hoping that was the legacy of Christmas, but don't think I can keep blaming that! Hoping that naturally being more active now it's spring will help though. Although 5lb a month is obviously still great, particularly having lost so much already.

I've gone past quite a few milestones though - past halfway mark, past 20% weight off, past 60lb, and as of this week, no longer obese which is a big one!

SW - 17 10
CW - 13 3
TW - 10 7

Currently a comfortable size 16. Really hoping that the kitchen roll effect kicks in to offset the slower weight loss and I'll be a 14 by summer.

I started at a 20-22 so I've already lost almost three dress sizes and people STILL aren't commenting though haha.

Still on 12.5mg, but I'm using a 15mg pen and only doing 50 clicks, and every eight days to stretch it out a bit more as at £200 a pen, the cost is no longer mostly offset by smaller food bills eek.

I had one week of diarrhea months ago, very occasional light headedness, but zero other symptoms.

I am finding I am less and less interested in booze. I still very much enjoy the buzz of the first drink once a week, but don't really want a second, or more frequently than that. And there's no actual drink I fancy either. This is a BIG change for me.

Very jealous of those who are almost at their goal. I was hoping to get to mine by August, but I think a more realistic target is next Christmas now. But still very happy with that.
