Bad pup @@NippyCrab but sure she will learn. She's only young

It's the youngest boy at 7 months, good job he's adorable, runs away! Never had a dog like that.
I love almonds too, especially flakes ones. @Usernamechangeforthis12 I love the smell too. Xx

I got the job!! I'm a working woman now...eek!!!

As for being the last one left, I'm afraid that will be me. I had at least 8 stone to lose - ideally 9! Losing 9 stone will get me (barely) into healthy bmi. I am a shortarse and was a ridiculous starting weight...19 stone! So although I've lost nearly 5 stone I've still got over 4 to go! At least I'm managing well on 7.5mg so it could be worse!

Congratulations @4pink1blue!

I am also in this for the long haul. Honestly I think another year for me at least.

I have just started my second pen of 10 mg. Hoping that I can stick at 10 for a while.

Just read a thread where someone has reached their goal weight, stopped the injections, and their food noise has returned. I have no idea why some people think that taking Mounjaro is an easy way out for us! It's blooming hard.

Off to catch up with the other posts now 😀

4pink1blue · 20/12/2024 07:41

Thank you everyone for all the congratulations. I'm excited to work again.
Week 18 weigh in and 3lbs off 😀

SW 19st
CW 14st 3lbs
67lbs off and best of all I'm under 200lbs!!! Finally!
Also I've lost 25% of my body weight which seems ridiculous to me.

Amazing @4pink1blue well done !!

Such a good feeling

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/12/2024 08:26

WWJ day

2lb off

More would be nice 😛

So just over 3.5s lost

Next week May be a challenge as WWJ 2 days after Xmas

So possibly will gain but then get it off week later

I'm tempted not to weigh next week but that's just swerving the issue

Motnight · 20/12/2024 08:41

@Blondeshavemorefun well done!

Motnight · 20/12/2024 08:46

I have had a NSV. Gone down my second bra (back) size. Put on a brand new bra today, the same size as I have been wearing for a few months and realised that it's far too big front and back. Rummaged around in my underwear drawer and pulled out a bra I have never been able to fit into and it fits! I still have huge breasts but always will - even at 10 stone I was a 36DD 😬.

Am taking that as a win 🤣!

NippyCrab · 20/12/2024 09:05

Morning, 2 off for me too 😊

Sw: 14st 6.5lbs
CW: 11st 11lbs
GW: changes every day haha maybe 11st maybe 10st 10lbs?
Height: 5ft 5.5 inches

Cracking loss again @Blondeshavemorefun Blondes whoop that's a fab steady loss, and overall so good. @4pink1blue congratulations you have so much positivity surrounding you just now.
@Motnight ah that's my size just now, I've always been a DD and I don't want to lose the boobs, I've not bought any bras, I always feel I never get the right fit and I'm wrestling about with it. I buy a full cup t shirt bra from M&S and it fits okay, I'd love some nice ones though. Xx

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/12/2024 09:14

Great NSV @Motnight

I do need to get remeasured. Boobs are so saggy 🥲

Never gonna be PBB - perky blondes boobs

I did try a 36dd I had in My drawer. I know I'm nowhere near that at the moment

Don't think I will ever get back into it

Round the Chest is ok but major overfilling at front and flesh squeezing out the sides. Not a good sight !!

Not sure what I am now tbh

Think once was 40 E

I do have boobs

If I l had a boob job I would prob lose 1/2 a stone a boob. They feel heavy in my hands

Not if any other hands are touching them

What's a good way to measure self

Used to be under and round nipples and then add 5 or something like that

Tho sure a friend said lean forward and measure

Any tips or may have to google

@NippyCrab whoop. Good loss for you as well

I struggled to stay at 10.10 and I'm 5ft 7 so only 1.5inches taller then you so you may find 11 is better

How's pup now ? Is she back to normal bratty self after all her illness ?

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/12/2024 09:19

I do think 10 is working for me so will prob do a third month of it to save money

Med express are texting and emailing again saying reorder but not sure if would do 4th mth of 10 or go up to 12.5

I still have one spare and not sure how but I have a 5 in the fridge as well

Found it under my carrots and onions in fridge 😂

Date feb 2026 so need to use asap

So I may use that double dose and get 2 10's out of it and waste the 5 bonus

So that's another 6w worth of 10 I have so I really don't want for reorder yet as will be too early

Equally I don't want to leave it too late between ordering for them to query it

MargoLivebetter · 20/12/2024 09:23

Congratulations @4pink1blue . Good times ahead for you in 2025.

Princessandthepie · 20/12/2024 09:57

Weighed in this morning and 1lb off which I was surprised about as I've not eaten the best foods this week.

SW 15 stones 8lbs
CW 12 stones 7lbs

So 3 stones 1lb off in 4 and half months.

Does anyone else feel like time really drags on MJ? I felt like it's been an absolute age since I last lost weight but it's only been a week?? Maybe it's the lack of alcohol in my life! 🤣

Feeling very under whelmed for Christmas, anyone else feeling like they can't be bothered with it all? DD is running a temperature, I had to get her early from school yesterday, the house is a state, DH is grumpy because he's not well, DS is loudly gaming which is not helping the throbbing headache! Why does MJ give you such bad headaches?

Going with the theme of boobs this morning, mine are definitely more deflated and they were never that exciting to begin with. My bras do fit better but it might be worth digging out a couple of olders ones to see if they fit better, have to find them first though!

Happy Friday peeps!!

wohmum · 20/12/2024 10:02

Happy Friday all !

I'm 2lb down on my 1st 7.5mg jab , so hoping this continues - rather that the 1.3 average so far. 21.5 lb so far since the end of Aug, with about the same again to go . I'm a short arse though too - at 5'3
Congrats to all of us for losses to date and lets enjoy a healthier Christmas, not depriving ourselves, but eating (and drinking!) in moderation

20bloodypounds · 20/12/2024 10:12

1lb down and I've gone back to 2.5mg this week so that I have the impetus to cook over Christmas - otherwise they'd be getting a tin of soup!

I'm delighted that my boobs are smaller - short with big boobs is never a good look and I feel like I might topple over. All my family members are pretty flat chested so I feel even more huge by comparison.

weaseleyes · 20/12/2024 10:30

Good range of losses today!

1lb off for me, which I was relieved about as I’d been staying the same all week. Am anticipating a little gain or at best staying the same next week, so didn’t want to slump too soon! My daughter’s been home since the weekend, so I’ve had the odd somewhat off piste meal and a couple of drinks - never going over 1000 calories a day, but I think even cooking her pasta and not having any myself makes me gain!

NippyCrab · 20/12/2024 11:07

Amazing losses today! Yes I feel it drags too @Princessandthepie

DH is heading home early, plan was meet 2pm in town now he's an hour away from home and I'm sitting here wet hair and hairier than the Grinch on a bad day lol. Always at the cows tail me.

Chocolate brat seems to be back to her demanding little self @Blondeshavemorefun , middle child boy is being a dick though, his Dad will sort him out!

I'd love to know how to properly measure boobs too.

We are all losers 😂😂

Yes time seems to be dragging slightly

poppym12 · 20/12/2024 12:18

Apologies, I can't keep up. Still sleeping most of the time.

Hope you're all doing well and feeling ok.

I did my bonus 7.5 on Sunday and I've been bloody starving since Tuesday. I thought 7.5 was working well for me but obviously not so much by the 5th week. I have a 7.5 pen ready to go on Sunday but I'm wondering if I should've gone up to 10. I do have a long drive to make on Tuesday evening so maybe it's best not to move up and risk side effects.....

(I haven't overeaten at all, still under 1200 cals, but the gnawing hunger is a bit of a shocker after all this time!).

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/12/2024 12:27

@20bloodypounds and @weaseleyes well done

@NippyCrab glad chocolate brat is ok 🐶

@poppym12 sounds like uou need to go to 10

Or can you eat more protein /calories

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/12/2024 12:28

I heard on the radio today that a lot of fake mj about and they are clamping down and 2yr in jail max

Wonder what the fake price is and what they use if not mj

Surely if people aren't losing weight they wouldn't buy it

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/12/2024 12:49

I will try both of these tonight and see if similar
