Yes agree @poppym12 the one on the left. Both lovely though.
@Blondeshavemorefun a bug is raging around here so seems likely. Headaches and vomiit .
No I don’t usually have breakfast and have lunch and dinner. I do try to have at least a shake for lunch otherwise you can very quickly feel shaky and sick on a tiny amount of calories, which I found out when I was feeling so rough with whatever bug I have

So many epic losses (spell check kept changing this to kisses). I’m sorry to not be tagging but I’ve seen and am rejoicing.
💃💃💃💃

Today I hit 10kg off. I’m wearing a pair of size 16 cords and had a fab time last night trying on clothes vacuum packed because not a hope. Back in thread one I mentioned my goal of velvet trousers for Christmas. I could get them midway up my hips. Now they’re up and just maybe 3cm max from doing up and a bit more to sit nicely. I reckon I’m going to do it!

poppym12 · 26/11/2024 13:40

Thank you @Mum0ntherun and @Blondeshavemorefun. I'll go with the pair on the left as they're a bit comfier. It must be the way I'm standing or something as the ones on the left are the bigger size. I was hoping to be in the smaller ones by Christmas but I've got a night out a month early - there's still some hope for Christmas though! They feel a bit snug around the waist so probably not wise to wear them when going out for a meal.

Isn't that odd? As @Blondeshavemorefun said, the others look too big on you! Always wise to have some 'space on the waist' at Christmas 😂but which makes you feel better? Give it a bit longer and they will both be hanging off you and you will be off shopping I'm sure!

poppym12 · 26/11/2024 13:57

I've actually bought these trousers in 3 sizes - and will probably keep all 3 for a while. (Only the first pair were full price. I never got chance to wear them before I bit the bullet and started mounjaro so they're really huge on me now). They'll be my last minute 'go to trousers' for anything where my usual scruffy look needs smartening up.

Unless they look bloody awful? Please be honest!

eeeeeeeee · 26/11/2024 14:04

@poppym12 both pairs of trousers look too big on you, the main difference is that one pair look a bit shorter than the other (the right side). I don’t really love the shorter length, I think it looks quite boxy which is why the other pair look more flattering🙂are they too long or can you get away with them?

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/11/2024 09:58

@WitchDancer fab you've gone down another stone bracket

@eeeeeeeee remind us of your stats - how much you have lost /height etx

Sure! I lost 16.4kg on Mounjaro after 16 injections. I’m 5ft (lol) and my starting weight was 74kg.

I weighed 57.6kg yesterday with 30% body fat. Although my weight is technically in healthy bracket, I don’t quite feel finished yet - I’d love to get to BMI 21 which was my previous weight. I think my body fat used to be around 20-25% too.

Also MedExpress sent this email about maintenance - seems fairly positive

Right pair look too big - don't wear. Not flattering as make you look bigger.

Not sure why

@FlappingMadly wonderful news you are almost in your trousers

I may try my velvet ones on tonight

They still won't def fit me.

I must measure as well as didn't Friday

I got another NSV today

Speaking to my friend and she said her adult daughter saw me today and said wow I've lost weight to her mum

This is the friend who i mentioned a while back who noticed I had lost weight

I still don't see it myself

I'm still not in smaller clothes sizes

So where has the 3s gone from - apart from my hips ? 🥲🙀

On another mj post I saw a pic of someone who has lost 4st and her legs def thinner and she looked good

She said she had another think 4/5a to lose but sure she hasn't

Hello and good afternoon from a very wet dog owner who's trying to dry off urgh!
@poppym12 I think you need to take the pics again, I liked the look of pic left as I agree with @eeeeeeeee and thought the right were shorter. It's so hard to tell from the pics, how do you feel in each pair? You don't want them hanging loose, and if the right pair fit nicer I would wear them, take another pic

@Blondeshavemorefun i know you've eaten now but always try and eat something if you feel ill because that will add to your nausea, good you feel better today wee poppet Blondes.
@owlyboo how are you feeling?
@Changinghabits1973 are you feeling better lady? I'm not a fan of the MRI machine it can be so loud, hugs.

Thank you for all the love for my wee cupcake, she's so much better but still quiet, I took her out with me today, it wasnt a long walk maybe 2.5 miles and she just walked beside me and had the odd trot to see what the boys were doing. I'm meeting my friend later, we have booked a dog park so I will just take the boys and pookie can stay cosy inside.
I've attached a pic of the 3, mega outing as I've said before but hey ho.

I've not eaten very well again, not snacks just not enough, I feel tired and it's an effort to think about meals. In the morning I've been having a banana with my essential 2 coffees and then a blueberry raw bar thing. I shouldn't buy these things as it makes me lazy! I need to do some food shopping which is a thought (chore) I've been having my Vimto drink to get more protein and I've got my drinks but I could only manage half a small bottle yesterday. It's the ufit ones and I normally like them but I think there's a weird taste off these ones. I prefer the Huel black edition, of course I do, they're bloody expensive!

On Sunday DH took the boys out and he said he was blowing out his arse on the walk, it wasn't even a hard route but he's put on a bit of weight and let his fitness go since working away. He sent a message earlier to say he was focused on eating better and increasing his activity. It's his snacking, he cannot pass a bowl of crisps or pistachio nuts! I was going to suggest he tried MJ for a short period, he bought these tablets called Ovira, mainly because someone at work had them. Anyway, they don't work 😂 for them anyway!

I can't remember if I said I was changing my goal weight, I've decided on 11st 4lbs another stone and I think I will be happy with how I look. Will see at the time and it gives me 3 lbs to go up or down while maintaining. We've booked a big holiday for June and I want to have the best time without feeling self conscious about my body.
Jeez I'm waffling sorry 😂
We made venison stew on Friday and there was loads left, I've taken a portion out for later so I've no excuse for dinner. I've had my banana, an actimel and an apple. Had a protein bagel with some ham and coffee just now.
Everyone is just doing brilliantly, reading all the posts now is so motivational and inspiring. We've all come so far with both losing weight and eating so much better and our confidence has grown immensely.

If you've managed to take any of this in I appreciate it, it's so long 🤗
Xxxx

Hey @NippyCrab I'm feeling better today thanks. Not 100% but better. Although I literally haven't done anything other than sit in the hairdressers!! Loving the dog pics glad she's on the mend.

It was lovely walking in though. I hadn't seen one of them since I started MJ and my actual hairdresser I was only a month in. Anyway the one I hadn't seen was like bugger me you look amazing! I said oh thanks I've been trying to lose some of the chub and she said I can see you look incredible 😊 I then said gosh it's cold outside and she said 'I bet it is now you're a skinny butch' 🤣🤣 said in a lovely way not a horrible way!! Then my hair dresser came out and also have me lots of fuss. Felt very lovely!

owlyboo · 26/11/2024 14:54

Just realised no idea if you're allowed to swear on here sorry if it offends anyone!! I have a potty mouth hence she knew I wouldn't be offended!!

owlyboo · 26/11/2024 14:54

I just reread again and I put butch not bitch so didn't actually swear... although now I have 🤣🤣

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/11/2024 14:56

@NippyCrab thanks my little crustian

I should have had a milkshake but I still have Cals left so could have one 4/5 before dd swimming

You need to eat as well. I've said before about these shakes. They are nice

amzn.eu/d/cjWEufa

£12 for 8 so £1.50 each. Taste really nice

Just orders salted caramel. Usually have strawberry

I'm still concerned if that's the right word of the what have I eaten thread , some people eat barely anything

Is that due to suppression so they should really have a milkshake so have cals and protein

Or they just want to lose weight asap

Glad pup is on the mend @NippyCrab and the 3 are sooooooooooo cute

Mr friend has a dalm puppy. So cute and small but literally seems to double in size each week. Think is 8/9w now

NippyCrab · 26/11/2024 15:08

@owlyboo and @Blondeshavemorefun I've got the worst mouth! You both make me laugh 😃

I'm getting my hair done tomorrow and i "might" get a fringe for something different. Xx

lookathatbookcase · 26/11/2024 15:11

@NippyCrab lovely pups! and no worries about waffling; love to hear what folks are up to, it makes everyone more real rather than us just being anonymous blobs floating around the internet, trying to become smaller blobs.

owlyboo · 26/11/2024 15:11

Oh @NippyCrab do it! I had one once I loved it but everyone else hated it! Including my kids who were young and brutal. This is very niche but she used to watch a programme about a little blind girl and she said mumma you look just like melody. It was hard to unsee... so I grew it out! But I liked it 🤣 I will
Insert a photo of melody. Nothing wrong with what melody looked like but an 8 year old child wasn't the look I was searching for 🤣
