[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thought would do a new one as 7 nearly full

Welcome all.

Been 3mths now since we started.

You are going to 5 my little crustian 🙀🙀😄

Poor pup. Wonder why won't eat

Normally scraps of ham /chicken etx work for dogs 🥲

@Blondeshavemorefun thank you! I’m going to try to get around 7 from my normal dose and then a second 2ml dose w/insulin needle, ready for 7.5 the week after.

Send help! I've eaten a spoonful of nutella out of the jar! Thought i'd cracked that habit. Will I regain my hard fought 2 stone overnight. 😆

If you’re anything like me you’re looking at a 4 stone gain…at least! 😁

Nutella is about 100 c per tablespoon

Just include it.

You will be fine

OMG @doingitthistime . Nutella police are at your door. They were late as were round at @NippyCrab 😜
Hope puppy is okay.

Has anyone had Huel black drinks ready made

They look massive at 500ml and 400c and 35g of protein

Thinking May try some but have half of one so 250m so 200c and 17g of protein

@Blondeshavemorefun I quite like them for days when actual food seems too much, though I generally have half a bottle for lunch then the rest later in the afternoon. Best to drink cold as you can get them.

I like protein drinks - I like the UFit ones especially 25 or 50 g of protein and about 150cals for the 25. The Huel are ok but I find them a bit powdery - but that might just be the banana. I also feel a bit swamped by it so splitting the drink as @lookathatbookcase suggested might be a good idea.

Thanks. Yes I think I will get some and split

Nice to have one in the car /out for the day

I'm not a lover of cold cold stuff. So will try room temp first

What's the best flavour

Seems on Amazon you can get 6 same flav for £20 or 6 various for £23

Not sure whether to pay the higher to check out flavours first

I'm a strawberry banana vanilla girl

Plus mixed has those 3 and berry chocolate salted caramel

I'm assuming the last 3 be more sickly

I'm not a lover of chocolate flav stuff and my salaried caramel cake I had last week I left as sickly so that's 2/6 I won't be so keen on

Or just buy 6 of either straw Vanilla or banana

@Blondeshavemorefun yeah I would go for those flavours and not choc etc as I find them sickly. My favs of pretty much everything are always vanilla and strawberry 😁 so predictable 🙄. Though I do really like the white choc UFit drink.

Checking back in. Still at a plateau. If I step on the scales for another day and 71.4 kg I might just scream! Am trying to really dig in and know that the 10kg that I have lost is massive but just wanna see 70 point anything!

Morning all - happy Monday !

@NippyCrab thinking of you and wondered how the pooch is this morning?

Am out for most of the day today but wanted to check in before i leave....
And to ask you lovely lot for a bit of advice if i may?

I am due to take my next injection late this afternoon; as you know am on the 7.5mg and have taken 2 shots of that so far so today should be the third; yesterday and hopefully today will be the best i have felt on it re side effects as was so nauseous and light headed the past couple of weeks - but managed my swim yesterday and it didn't effect me at all etc... I usually feel that normal hungry feeling / fancy stuff etc on days 6 & 7 before i inject but i haven't felt that over the past couple of days and neither this morning and have been up already since about 5am...

Do you think it's worth delaying my injection for a day so to push it back to tomorrow for example or shall i just do it as normal today?

Thanks in advance of any advice lovely lot xx

So, last weeks weigh in I had lost 0lb, nothing. Was a bit annoyed but hey ho..
Weigh day today and I'm 5lb down, so 5lb in 2 weeks which is fab.. but 1lb shy of 3 stones..
SW18.6
CW 15.7
So close to the 3 stone mark.. hopefully next week.
And so close to my first real goal of seeing a 14 on them scales..

How frustrating - I haven't plateaued yet but I know it will happen. Hopefully someone here will have some advice to get it moving again

Well done on your loss - that's a great whoosh!! @morbidcuriosity
Just shows that will power is key when the scales show no loss or a gain ! Congrats x

Weightloss and our bodies is so weird isn't it! You have achieved amazing things. I also can't wait to see a 14 something on the scales. However with the amount of alcohol I enjoyed yesterday, it def won't be this week 😀

I've lost basically nothing in 4 weeks on my second 5mg pen.

During this time I did go on holiday for a week (but lost a bit anyway) then I had pneumonia where I ate very little apart from the white carbs I craved.

Yesterday I did 5mg and tried to do an extra mg with the hard twist as I only had the bonus dose left but it was impossible to count the clicks so I've no idea how much I shoved in, probably less than 6mg.

I really need to sort myself out as I'm feeling really despondent.

@Nippycrab, I hope your lovely doggo is ok x

I still drink alcohol, although less than I did. But do enjoy a glass of wine or 2 some evenings..

The body is strange though, my aim now is to get my water intake up as I find it hard to hit minimum of 2 litres every day, but I've got to try harder I think..

Hey... I was literally the same as you on 5mg!! It's weird isn't it... I lost around 10lb the first month on 5 and the suppression was high; so that's why i wanted to stick with 5 for the next month as thought that this dose was my "sweet spot" ! But i think the first week on the second month of 5 i was literally hit with cravings all over again, permanently hungry, no suppression and only lost 1lb in the whole month, and i was still exercising, swimming, watching what i ate etc etc...

I am now on 7.5mg and the suppression is totally different !!

Are you thinking about moving up to 7.5mg? x

Morning all, I need a bit of help with click counting please.

So bonus dose from my 5.0mg pen, I got 0.5ml on my insulin syringe (I did a larger dose earlier so not entirely surprised).

My next pen is a 7.5mg.

If I want to take say 6mg or 6.5mg in total as a step up dose how many clicks do I need?

Yes, I have a 7.5 and a 5mg pen in the fridge so I'll go for the 7.5 next Sunday. I thought 5 was working well for me too, hence why I'd ordered another one. Bit gutted about basically wasting a month.

How is the 7.5 working for you @Changinghabits1973 ?

Thanks @Mum0ntherun

@HellofromJohnCraven sorry for plateau. How long has it been. I had one for 3w and then lost think 3/4 lbs someone else for 4w Then a whoosh

@Changinghabits1973 I would do today as they advise weekly same day

@morbidcuriosity glad you had your whoosh and so close to 3s like me

@poppym12 sounds like you need to go up to 7.5

But if you did have a holiday and poorly that all adds to it as well

If you don't eat enough body thinks been starved so won't lose

@WorriedRelative from a 7.5 if you want

6 it's 48 clicks or .48 if use a needle

.5 is 4 clicks

So

6.5 it's 52 clicks

@NippyCrab how's woofa today ? 🐶💖🐶

I'm feeling a bit sick /queasy today which is unusual 🥲

I didn't want breakie - guessing this is suppression again on day 4 but know have to eat.

The thought of a milkshake makes me want to heave 🤮🤮

Have forced 1/2 an apple down me so cut it up and 5 slices and couple of mouthfuls of a brioche and some water

This is a feeling I don't usually get and weird and don't like it 🥲

Don't mind the suppression as wanted that for ages but not the feeling sickness part

Finally school is back. Thank god been a long two weeks so I'm taking myself off to bed to see if a snooze makes me feel better as don't feel great

Which as you know isn't the usual bouncy blondes for me 🥲

Oh @poppym12 and @HellofromJohnCraven big hugs. STS is maddening. It drove me crazy and it’s very hard when people are losing all around you. Poppy, you have not wasted a month! Your whoosh will come, have no fear.

I’m currently on 6 and it’s holding me okay. If I have high active days like yesterday I have to be careful to eat because I don’t feel hungry.,

How are you getting on @ChunkyMunky with hitting your calories?
You’re in my thoughts @NippyCrab. Hope pup has turned a corner.

@morbidcuriosity whoop! 5lb is fab! 💃💃
