Old thread nearly full so thought would do new one

We are a chatty but supportive bunch

Hey everyone.

I’m late posting this week

SW 16st 1lb
CW 14st 8lb

Had a rubbish week on my second 5mg hardly any suppression and had 2 takeaways. Back on it this week and the suppression is back and I’m hardly finishing any meals.

Morning!
I had a quick check on the scales and still no change. 6kg down. I am dropping cm though. I need to overhaul my diet and go far more low carb, high protein. I don’t feel the need to eat but when I do I don’t feel the ick you guys do. This is similar to life without MJ. Have I screwed my metabolism up so much it doesn’t respond to Mj? Time will tell I guess. I’ve been doing some exercises to hopefully get a pert butt. No sign of that happening but it has made walking and other exercises way more powerful.
School is closed today for a training day so my daughter has a friend over.
It’s jab day. In a minute in private I whipped the pen out, whacked needle on, primed, counted clicks and jabbed, needle thrown in sharps. How times have changed 🤣 it used to be check, google again, check again, angst, finally jab 🤣
It is our final big farewell party at work (big restructuring). It is drinks, dinner, karaoke. Hope I survive!

I’m not feeling the ick at eating @FlappingMadly - haven’t really felt that since week 1, so I don’t think your metabolism is doing MJ wrong! And congrats on getting close to 2 stone @lmmj15 !

2nd 7.5jab just done

Not feeling much suppression tbh on this dose esp after my 10 previous week

And more annoyingly sts ffs 😡😡😡

So lost 1.1 before mj

Was 17.4
SW 16.3
CW 14.12
Lost 1st 5 on mj and 2st 6 overall

@FlappingMadly yes I just do it now

No sheet /instructions

We are hardcore experts !!!

@FlappingMadly this made me giggle!

My first injection I watched a video about six times, I was shaking, held my breath while I twisted it, injected it and took it out 🤣 I was so scared! Now I'll just do it in seconds

Annoying to sts @Blondeshavemorefun, but those are some very respectable losses there, both off and on MJ.

@FlappingMadly Oh god completely - first few injections I might have well have been doing eye surgery; now it's just like tying my shoelaces.

and agreed - plateau'ing is annoying but @Blondeshavemorefun you should be proud of what you've achieved so far.

Haha! We are all hardcore.
I was thinking about it. I lost 8kg before starting MJ. Maybe this is a body reset and I have to see it out.
It is crap @Blondeshavemorefun tsts but wow, great loss!

@lmmj15 great loss 💃💃💃

Well done @immj15

Thanks @weaseleyes @FlappingMadly @lookathatbookcase

Just sometimes I feel I did better on sw then a costly jab

I know I lost 4lbs last week but over the month that was 3w of no losses and 4lb whoosh so 4lb in a month

Which I can do on sw

I will persevere but fair to say I'm pissed off - esp if gonna have another 3w of sts

Roll on 10 I say !!

2lb off for me this week. I’m both pleased and exasperated to have got down to the weight I was at the start of the year.

My daughter started university last year so when she went I started dieting (again) in pretty much the way I am now, minus the MJ, so with more angst and suffering. I did pretty well over Christmas and even lost another pound, but then there was still so much food hanging about and I just kept eating it up and it tipped me back into craving the carbs and overeating, and I couldn’t get it back under control. Until this August, of course. I need a better plan this year! Am hoping the MJ keeps me on the straight and narrow, but must manage the presence/buying of food better.

Do you think you’re eating more on MJ than SW @Blondeshavemorefun ? I can’t see how it could prevent you losing, though I suppose you could somehow be immune to it and therefore it was pointless.

😂😂😂😂

Well done @weaseleyes

Green eyes flashing 😂

I can't see how

Average day

B scrambled egg on toast /porridge /fruit

L chicken salad or sandwich if didn't have egg /toast

T salmon rice , spag bol , jacket and tuna , odd micro meal , chicken pasta , with veg or fruit

Crisps some days

That’s an amazing loss!!! Xxx

I mean, it doesn’t sound excessive! I wouldn’t lose weight on that because I’m a carb sensitive freak who’s about 4 inches high, but that’s my issue! I think you just had a weird stall, got over it and this is just your body refusing to lose too much two weeks running. I feel optimistic for you losing next week.

I’ve done it! I’ve hit the 14stone bracket. Admittedly only just but I don’t care, I’m there.

I started 21st August

SW 16st 4lb
CW 15st 13lb

Fingers crossed I’ll be at a stone and a half loss when I reach my two anniversary. Not bad for someone who can’t exercise due to chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia

So after being starving yesterday I can't stomach the idea of my breakfast at all! And it's jab day.

How strange

@Mum0ntherun bread is my crack cocaine too! Buttery toast with jam is my ultimate comfort food.

Still some good losses coming in. Congratulations to everyone. We are well into 8 weeks plus of doing this and I'm willing to bet that in the past, very few of us would have lasted this long.

I think I will lose 1lb this week. I have to stick to about 1000 calories to lose. It's been like this for many years now. Gone are the days when I could lose by just cutting back a bit. The MJ definitely makes it very doable though and not the grim battle it has always been previously. It is the absence of food noise that makes it possible.

I made an apple and almond cake for guests that came over last Saturday and there is half of it still sitting in the tin. I haven't had a single slice. I would normally have eaten all of it by myself by Tuesday and be consoling myself with some nonsense about not wasting food. I mostly haven't even thought of it, except when I'm trying to force DP and the DC to eat it. I think this is what life must always be like for people who haven't battled with their weight.

I’m assuming you’ve mistyped your CW @MelainesLaugh? But very well done! A new stone bracket is a wondrous, wondrous thing!

Weigh in and jab day

SW. 16st 12lb
CW 15st 9lb

Total loss 1st 3lb slow and steady, starting second 5mg today.

Good morning, fab losses for everyone 👏
I've sts this week at 12st 9lbs, I've not eaten enough this week due to tiredness with the dogs having their bug, DH got home last night after his 10 days working and I conked out and woke up at 8am! Bliss. I was conscious of the dogs stirring at 6am and DH got up.
I need to eat some good meals when he's here and meal plan better for when I'm tired. ME and Fibro means I need sleep 😴 😂

@weaseleyes one lives in Hope

@MelainesLaugh well done. You mean 14s 13

Not 15 13

@MissFancyDay well done

@NippyCrab I feel your pain my little twin
