51lb

63lb

96lb for me

From highest to lowest. 69lbs

Umm, 90lbs ish. I do it in kgs but it's about that.

So far 1/3 of way at 362 lbs. Anyone else?

Love this...69lbs for me.

79 for me.
Should have been 83 but I keep giving in to the hunger and can't get back down to goal weight.

43lb. Mind blowing.

54lbs. My god.

66lbs!

Nearly 5 freaking stone.

84lb ish 😆 mind blowing

50 pounds!

I'm behind again! Well done to those for hitting goals etc. need to catch up properly later!

Wanted to join in with the total weight loss.

90lbs lost for me! However, 17lbs of that was pre MJ. So 73lbs on MJ

We really are a biggest losers club. Well done everyone!

@ThirdStorm Tis amazing!

I know we had talks about wrinkly necks close to the beginning. Did anyone not get this? Or got it and it got better? I am using the prai neck cream but don't think it's working.

My neck has got worse and I look a bit like a turkey! If I ever was going to get surgery I'd probably do it on my neck and chin. When I kind of pinch my neck at the back, the front wrinkly bit goes away. So thinking surgery eventually! Maybe it's the excess skin from losing a few chins!

@ObsidianTree No wrinkly neck for me, must have got lucky. I use this stuff from Sanctuary https://amzn.eu/d/cxygI4b

I have a wrinkly crinkly bum and inner thighs t
though!!

@FlappyFish welcome back to the mj club. You were brave even trying to come off it! I never plan to 😂

It's a shame MJ doesn't sort out your period bloat etc. I know you always struggled with that when losing weight etc.

@ThirdStorm thanks. I'll give it a go after finishing the prai cream!

@NCfor24 well done on reaching goal. You look great 😊 what BMI did you get to?

Gosh you've really overtaken me! Your losses have been pretty good. I'm sitting between 11st - 11st 2lbs. Considering we were around the same weight not too long ago, you've really done amazingly!

I'd say for your height (same as me!) you could get to 10st if you wanted. Have you posted photos? Post some! 😂

I'd say my lack of losing is because I've had too many social things in the run up to Xmas. If I had a weekend where I go to a restaurant, I gain a few lbs and it takes me a week or two to get back to losing. I've had two meals out this week so dreading the scales. Think I'll probably aim to maintain around 11st then see how I feel in the New year.

@Moanranger well done for hitting goal! You've done brilliantly 😊

Morning @ObsidianTree! Ha, I did the experiment to save others doing it. ;)

I do think it is possible to maintain without MJ. I was doing it well for 6 weeks. Then period. And it’s horrific. I think I got through the first period with MJ half life. I just repeat that cycle every month. The next period I posted here in despair and I took the MJ again 3 days back.

I get the eat out and watch it slow go. Any carbs do that.

Here you go. Day after period ending. I’ve lost 8lbs overnight. 😆 I’d lost 3lbs over the course of the day.

The Prai cream isn't doing much for me either. I bought a massive pot of it 😓

What concerns me most is how bloody OLD I look now. The skin on my face is so dull, pale and dry. I have deep wrinkles on my forehead that weren't there before MJ and lines to each side of my mouth that makes it look a bit droopy. The skin on my body feels really parched and I have wrinkly thighs and a knackered belly.

I have no idea what to do to sort my face out as I've never had need to wear makeup as I had perfect skin until I had my kids a few years ago. I dread to think how awful I'll look on my wedding day (I'm not paying for hair and makeup as it's a tiny and cheap wedding).
