Thanks for the congratulations.
Looking forward to trying some things on to see what size I am at the moment.

I've reached another of my goals today.
I've now lost a total of 50lbs!

When I started I thought I would probably need to lose 100lbs in total, so it's very exciting to now be half way to that.

I wfh and mostly spend my week in leggings. Today they are hanging off me and baggy all down my legs so I guess I'll need to do a bit of clothes shopping at the weekend Grin

That's seriously amazing! Massive congrats

Big NSV here - my gym gives you the tiniest towels known to man. I used to have to wear knickers to and from the shower so I didn't scare anyone. Went today and the towel goes all the way around!

Love the towel wrapping round @Callmejudith thats fab

Ive also had baggy leggings so just bought some off Amazon of all places but they are really soft and sewn like gymshark ones my teenage has but fraction of the cost. I do wish Amazon would stop telling me to order xxl though 😂I ordered a M

Snozzlemaid · 03/10/2024 15:57

Ooh. Do you have a link please @AutumnStorms11
They sound good.

TheShellBeach · 03/10/2024 16:01

Ha! Amazon have just started to advise me to buy Medium instead of Extra Large.

So their algorithm catches up eventually.

I'm hoping to reach a stage where they recommend Small.

Well, I can dream.
😂😂

AutumnStorms11 · 03/10/2024 18:06

These ones nice and soft with pocket. They don’t have a drawstring but stayed up walking the dog fine.

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 03/10/2024 20:54

@Snozzlemaid WOW!! Amazing achievement, well done! 🎉🎉
@Callmejudith fab NSV! I have huge bath towels and there has always been a bit of a gap but they go round me 1.5 times now👍
@AutumnStorms11 thanks for the link!

WI day today after a weird week spent partly ill (suspected pneumonia but thankfully not!) and partly in hospital with my mother after she fell off a kerb🤦‍♀️ as well as wine consumption on Sunday.

Uncertain about suppression over the week as I expected more due to a 6-and-a-bit bonus dose but the above (combined with steroids) seems to have brought hunger!!

Anyway:

This week (15) was my first maintain week.

Fast 800 SW: 17 st 7lbs
MJ SW: 16st 12lb
CW: 13st 12lbs

Onwards and downwards!!

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 04/10/2024 07:32

Amazing losses everyone.

SW 17st 7.4
CW 14st 1.7

Lost 1.5lb this week (I think most of that was from just citing the looBlush). Averaging once every 6 days.

Didn't get a chance to jab yesterday, will do this morning. Hoping to see a 13 next week, which is mental. Still not sure I'm trusting the scales (or at least believe them), how can I be 14st something?!?!

I'm having to wear an annoying spacer on my rings as they keep sliding off.

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 04/10/2024 07:34

Sharing my graph. It's amazingly consistent, but I think it will start levelling off.

Morning all,

Week 16 WI (with approx 4 2.5 doses to go till quittin’ day)
SW: 13st 3.5lb
WI: 10st 13lb

i haven’t seen a 10 at the start of the scale in YEARS. I very nearly burst into tears. MJ is an absolute godsend

Pashazade · 04/10/2024 07:56

Has everyone gone up the dosage quantities, has anyone stayed on 2.5 and kept losing weight?

Splendud · 04/10/2024 08:14

Small non scale victory here. I'm on holiday at the moment and we went out for dinner last night. I picked up the tights I packed to go with the dress I wanted to wear and realised that I had picked up an old pair that haven't fitted me for probably six years. I decided to try them on and THEY FITTED! They were a bit snug but I wore them all night and was comfortable.

QueenEthelTheMagnificent · 04/10/2024 08:20

My NSV this week - I now have to do up the tightest hooks on my bras!! Nearly time to go bra shopping! Normally I dread buying new ones as I had to buy massive sizes. Will be nice to see what size I can get into! 😁

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 04/10/2024 08:29

@Sewfrickinamazeballs Oh I hear you! I’m on a weird place in my head where none of it really seems real. Feel like I’m dreaming or something. Still don't believe I will actually lose any more weight and that this will be it! 🤷‍♀️
@Lynsey14 10s!! 😱 Huge congratulations! We are very proud of you!
@Pashazade not 2.5 but I have stayed on 5mg. Did my 12th jab last night. Up until the last week, I have lost weight consistently (barring a 2 week holiday). I actually tried to slow it down a little as I lost 10lbs in 3 weeks😬 There are numerous people on fb groups and Reddit who have stayed on 2.5 and many are near goal!
@Splendud whoohoo for the tights! It's so odd to fit into things you never thought you would isn't it?! !

AutumnStorms11 · 04/10/2024 10:08

@Pashazade I’ve stayed on 2.5-3mg and kept losing consistently I’ve been eating 3 meals a day keeping up my protein with fruit and veg. I didn’t like the feeling of not feeling hungry at all & nauseous so this has been a good dose for me. I’ve been able to eat normally just much smaller quantities and it’s killed my sugar/carb cravings. Everyone is different I’m also quite short so I think your frame has to do with it? I’ve added a good iron supplement and that has stopped my dizzy lightheaded feeling after 4 weeks of daily iron.

James O'brian about to discuss weight loss jabs on LBC....hopefully not the typical 'idiot bought off a back alley person, got sick' discussion

AutumnStorms11 · 04/10/2024 10:12

@QueenEthelTheMagnificent I’m another whose has had to size down in bra sizes I was a large 38H prior to starting this and never normally lose off my boobs but this drug has really shrunk them much to my delight. Prior to starting this I was looking at how much a reduction would cost but the recovery time and cost put me off. I’ve constantly struggled with neck & back pain I’m loving getting into a 36F!

Ahhh, here we go. 'It's cheating'. Grrrrr

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 04/10/2024 10:19

I don't pay attention to that argument.

I don't believe that the use of GLP -1 and GIP medication for obesity treatment is "cheating".

Even if it was, I still think it's wonderful.

It's changed my life.

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 04/10/2024 11:49

I DO NOT get this 'cheating' bollocks! WHO is it cheating? The very definition of cheating is that you gain an advantage by behaving dishonestly or going against rules you are supposed to follow. Who is harmed by me using synthetic peptides to help me lose weight?
It's a crap argument made by pathetic people!

Pashazade · 04/10/2024 12:16

The cheating argument is so dismissive, it just feeds into the you're fat and therefore lazy tired old shit, so you must suffer and only good conscientious people deserve to be thin, so by not suffering through a "diet" you're cheating the system! Grrrrrr
Oh and thanks for the replies about remaining on a low dose. 😁
