Tears of absolute joy. I have been on an 18 month journey on Saxenda. Started off 16st 13, size 18/20 at 5ft 2. Today I put a pair of size 10 jeans on and could hardly believe it. Not one pair, but two. And then I tried a size 10 pair of trousers on - just to be certain. There was no denying it! I've made it to a size 10! My whole adult life I've been overweight or obese. I was 16 the last time I wore a size 10 in jeans. By 18 I was a 14, and even when I've lost weight over the (many) years up and down, I've never made it below a 14 on the bottom half.

Well, on Monday I'm 40. I can finally say, I bloody smashed it out the park. I'm fit, and 40! My goal has been achieved!

Thank you Saxenda.... thank you, thank you, thank you! You have changed my life completely!

Congratulations, I can feel this feeling in my bones, as someone who has always been overweight and just hit 40. I'm so happy for you. I'm at the beginning of my journey, thank you for the inspiration. Enjoy this, you deserve it Flowers

So pleased for you 😊 I've just managed to get into the dress I wore on my 1st date with my partner 22 years ago. What a feeling!

Well done OP! I’ve lost just over 3 stone but still a long way off a size 10.

Yes, it's a weight loss medication. It was one of the first, difficult to obtain from last summer onwards, but I've managed to keep getting it.
Mounjaro would be cheaper for me, but sax is working, so I don't want to change!

Well done OP. You look fab!

just remember- the saxenda didn’t do this. YOU did. The saxenda was a tool which helped but this victory is yours. Own it! 💪

ASDA in MK makes me tearful too. I avoid it if I can.
