Old thread nearly full so thought would do new one

We are a chatty but supportive bunch

I have a NSV 😄😄😄

I saw a friend this evening I haven't seen for maybe 2mths - she said have you lost weight

I said yes and almost 2.5st in total

She asked how. I did say smaller portions and no snacking - which tech is true - I am doing 2/3 meals and no snacks usually

She said my hips and bum much smaller and off my face

I said thanks as not many people have said anything but it's usually the same mums /school /friends who see me 3/5 times a week so prob haven't noticed much

It's a nice feeling esp when weight doesnt change

NSV for me too!

I was joint top of the women's leaderboard at the gym this evening for number of sets of the circuit completed in the time. It's started to become easier to move, I have more stamina, I need less rest between sets, recovering better. I've never ever topped that leaderboard before!

I can't wait!! I'm soooo looking forward to feeling comfortable in my clothes again.

Excellent NSVs @Blondeshavemorefun and @CrazyGoatLady !

Well done @CrazyGoatLady

Well done @poppym12 and @Blondeshavemorefun on yours too!

Me too @poppym12 . I’m beginning to wear clothes I want to rather than anything to cover me up. It’s a great feeling. Luckily I was optimistic, or in denial, and put aside all my way too small clothes.

@Blondeshavemorefun fantastic NSV! 💃💃💃

@itwasnevermine hope a&e goes smoothly.

@CrazyGoatLady epic NSV! 💪💪

@HamAlive hooe your tummy has calmed down now.

Ah lovely NSV @Blondeshavemorefun nice when people notice!!

That's fabulous @CrazyGoatLady well done you!

Bracing myself for my walk today... looking pretty miserable about there but no rain so far so 🤞🤞 I try to get it out the way before work after the school run! And then usually my son will want to go for a bike ride/on his scooter after school so I get another lot in... every little helps!

I get that every day to day people don't notice so it's nice when someone does

I still look at me in the mirror and think I don't look that different

I'm still in same size clothes and they don't seem really baggy so it's weird

@Blondeshavemorefun and @CrazyGoatLady aww really happy for you both! That’s amazing

Scales are back moving down this morning which is nice because I can't bloody move!!

Off to get my ankle looked at this morning and I'm most worried about missing the gym, which is so strange for me!

I feel exactly the same as you! I’m not sure where the weight has been lost from 😂

@Blondeshavemorefun @eeeeeeeee it's called the paper towel effect - the larger you are, the less you notice at first. Like taking a sheet off a roll of kitchen roll. The first few don't make too much of a difference but then all of a sudden every sheet (pound lost) makes a huge difference

Go @Blondeshavemorefun , @CrazyGoatLady and @poppym12 .

Good luck this morning @itwasnevermine

Glad scales are moving @itwasnevermine hope the ankle gets sorted. Also that's a great way to look at weight loss! Makes sense!

I'm currently at the top of a VERY big hill, sweating my tits off with my coat tied round me! Ready for it to actually just be cold rather than this weird temperature that I now look mental in a t shirt but was boiling in my coat!

Thank you!

I've never been so jealous!! I love getting outdoors and out and about

I'm finding this week rubbish. Week 4 of 5mg, food noise is well and truly back, and I'm eating breakfast again. I'm going to weigh in on Saturday before I decide whether to go up to 7.5 or take the bonus dose of 5.

Although I do think a little food noise and hunger is probably useful in order to try and use a bit of willpower!

I'm very lucky round where I live @itwasnevermine there's lots of places a few minutes walk away that are very pretty.

But it's definitely walking boot season I've got mine on and nearly gone over a few times already!

I'm lucky I work from home and works very flexible to try to get out for a few hours a day around work/kids/life!!

Current view now

@Pinkjenny I took my 4th 5mg dose yesterday and am definitely noticing the food noise more too. I've ordered a second 5mg pen because suppression has (until this week) been ridiculous but I'll definitely be more prepared to deal with the food noise as the week goes on and this dose starts to wear off.

I hope your ankle is OK @itwasnevermine and that you're not waiting for too long.

Well done on the losses posted since I posted!

Bah! Have lost the grand total of 2 ounces this week. There's slow and then there's slooooooow.

@itwasnevermine well done on your weight loss, hope your ankle is ok.
@owlyboo enjoy your walk, looks stunning- love walking in the countryside.
@Pinkjenny I’ve always eaten breakfast so far! Still eating 3 meals & hungry through out, but I’m not snacking like I used too. I’m going up to 7.5 on Friday & hoping for better suppression on that dose.
@Blondeshavemorefun & @eeeeeeeee I’m also still in the same size clothes despite being 20lbs down. My size 22 jeggings aren’t as tight as they were, or maybe I just was wearing a too small size before.

Breakfast is hardly a sin 🤣

Lovely view @owlyboo
We’re on our way to a lake which the daft dog will swim in.

Well done on losses everyone!

Thanks @Glittermoonlight it is lovely, hilly but lovely!

@FlappingMadly ah look at that tail!! I have to come home, work, then take my dog out as she's old now bless her and can't keep up with me on my walks so I have to take her for little slow walk!

Oh @Arraminta I get the frustration and least it still went down I suppose... here's hoping for a big loss next week!!

I've never been a breakfast person (I know it's bad but I can't face food first thing!) so I've never ate it so haven't started on MJ but I wouldn't worry if you do it's normal to eat breakfast! I would only worry if it's a full English on the daily!

That makes sense

Hope ankle is ok. Go to a&e. Mine is fucked after falling over couple of years ago. Injections. Surgery. Leg in plaster - 6mths off work recovery which was hard financially and will never be the same as it was
