Well done @MrsHerbs79

@owlyboo snap like me. Buf or mj either way is a loss

@AdeloreSmore I only weigh once so maybe mine would change but cba. Well done on loss

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 08:30

Not sure what to eat again

Stomach is literally rumbling as Haven't eaten lots recently or what I have eaten 🤮💩

But I feel more confident today tho May still have protein shake bread pasta to make sure

Having 1.333 less this week due to bonus is unusual as usually the bonus is a whole dose with me

CrazyGoatLady · 30/11/2024 09:58

Just popping in. Not managed to read everyone's updates yet, but well done to those who gave had losses and NSV!

Sorry to hear you're still feeling grim @Blondeshavemorefun

I'm still under the weather with this virus and fed up of it now! Haven't been eating very well, because all I want is bland carby stuff, comfort food. DH did Mac and cheese last night and it didn't agree with me at all, I feel quite bloated today, so I think I need to give my head a wobble and eat some fruit and veg, even if I don't fancy it!

Azuresky68 · 30/11/2024 10:24

I ate 2 mince pies yesterday within my calorie count...10 mg really kicked in now after jabbing on Wednesday...can't face eating anything today - not ill, just not hungry. @Blondeshavemorefun I will let you know after my maintenance consultation on Monday. I don't want to stay on 10 mg for ever but I really don't want tobregain weight again so not sure what I am going to do yet..I have until January to decide.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 11:38

@CrazyGoatLady sorry you still feel not right after virus

@Azuresky68 thanks. Guess no one wants to spend £150 every month once at goal

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 11:44

I still don't feel great

Went back to bed after replying this morning

I just feel wiped out. So tired and bleugh

I am Hungary so think that's part of it but can't face food

Not sure if suppression or still bug

Guessing bug as if suppression my stomach wouldn't be growling and wanting food

This is the worst I've felt on mj

Shake stayed down

Roll is being part baked so hope to eat that and feel better

Fuffedoff · 30/11/2024 12:02

Hello!

I've not been on here a few days and just caught up.

I've had a total of 4kg loss this month which I'm happy with. I've managed to get down to 111kg- 0.8kg loss this week. It's slowing down to around 2lb a week now.

I went up to 10mg last week and I've had a lot more suppression. I was sick about 2 times day after jab and my 💩 have been quite looser, so I'm just going to monitor it.

I think I only have another 4 weeks on MJ, then I'm looking to go solo.

I'd like to be down to about 105kg by the end of January, at least. If more that would be great.

And then I'd like to aim for a 2kg loss each month at first.. as this is when we are going to TTC! So I would rather be realistic with weight loss goals and not being disappointed as I know it will be harder.

I have been a bit more snacky snacky at times but this has been due to not feeling like anything else. My taste buds have totally changed and it's getting hard, finding foods I want to eat.

Anyhow, have a lovely day!

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 12:30

Ffs

Violently 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Even before I ate lunch

TMI

Was just liquid sloshing - prob as milkshake and water if all I've had

I just don't get it

Now I've been sick I feel fine and starving

So going to eat my bloody bread roll

Damned if I do eat. Damned if I don't

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 12:31

@Fuffedoff well done

I've been on 10 for 5w and only been the last week I've been really 🤮💩 hence keep saying it must be a bug

Good luck ttc

NippyCrab · 30/11/2024 13:48

@Blondeshavemorefun have a read up on gastroparesis, the 10mg could be slowing your gut down too much and it's vomiting the contents back up. Either that or a bug, wee soul, hugs from your wee Crustacean crab 🦀 xx

Apologies for lack of content in posts from me, my fatigue is mega high, I hate ME so much, I'm paying for what I did on Tuesday and Wednesday. Xx

FlappingMadly · 30/11/2024 13:56

Oh no @Blondeshavemorefun ! Have you been to a doc? You might need medical to calm it all down. Nippy makes a good point too about gastropareisis

Well done! @Fuffedoff. Great goal and incentive. Are you still on MJ?

Sorry you're still feeling grotty @CrazyGoatLady . There are really nasty viruses doing the rounds.

Sorry you're feeling down @Usernamechangeforthis12. Just try to remind yourself that MJ is doing amazing things and your body is changing. It's totally normal to gain on today and you WILL get back on track.

Great NSV and fab loss @owlyboo !

@AdeloreSmore fab loss too!

@NippyCrab ugh, ME is nasty💐. Rest up and eat well.

NippyCrab · 30/11/2024 14:05

Thanks Flappy, I'm struggling today, I literally couldn't keep my eyelids open this morning, horrible, luckily not full blown symptoms with flu like etc I'm hoping if I just dont move today I will perk up tomorrow. Xx

FlappingMadly · 30/11/2024 14:21

Oh bless you @NippyCrab Yes, rest as much as you can. I hope it passes quickly.

Fuffedoff · 30/11/2024 14:34

@FlappingMadly yes, I have 4 more doses left of 10mg. I think that takes me up to Christmas week and then I will be going cold turkey.

I only went up to 10mg last week and the sulphur burps have returned but I managed to keep them at bay with either Alka seltzer or Pepto bismol.. seems to do the trick for 12 hours or so 😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 15:00

Sorry you are feeling shattered my little crustian. Me is tough

@FlappingMadly sorry feeling rough on 8

Think we are all a bit run down tired and catching stuff

I had a look at Gastroparesis - I don't think that's me - I have none of the other symptoms

Literally just 🤮 or 💩

More 🤮 at the moment but as soon as been sick I feel much better

So I did eat a plain roll. Was yummy as so bloody Hungary

Still Hungary now but again wary so will prob be a snack of maybe a rice cake - oh yummy. Hear my sarcasm

And plain pasta for tea

I love chicken but whoever I've eaten it I've been sick

Tho obv if a bug anything will make me sick

Mum0ntherun · 30/11/2024 15:10

@Blondeshavemorefun I had the bug for about 10 days recently. I was doing the eat toast diet but was 🤢 or 💩 straight away. My stomach was so sensitive so I ordered gluten free bread etc and ate that for a week. It seemed to calm down very quickly with that. I think my stomach was very sensitive. Might be worth a try.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 15:21

Thanks @Mum0ntherun I will try anything at the moment as not like me. I'm never ill

Fuffedoff · 30/11/2024 15:54

I think I'm going to join the club @Blondeshavemorefun .. well for today anyway.

I had cheese on toast this morning (about 10:30) at a lovely cafe but I could already tell there was much more cheese than I'm used to. I thought I'd be okay.

And I have been.. up until now. It felt like there was something heavy in my stomach that felt horrid, as if swishing and 5 mins later I was sick.

This is like 5 hours later.

I haven't been like this every day though.

Mind boggles

NippyCrab · 30/11/2024 16:47

@Blondeshavemorefun what about trying some kefir or kombucha, if you are keeping plain pasta down what about some plain white fish like baked cod. Xx

I need to get energy for tomorrow for the dogs.

Just got back from having lunch with some friends who we have seen for ages and they were shocked by how much weight I'd lost in a good way! And I think I need to suck it up and go shopping, my size 18 jeans are falling off me, I've been pulling them up all afternoon!

Weighed in this morning and I've lost another 1lb so I'm 12 stones 11lbs! 3lbs away from a 3 stone loss! 😃

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 18:16

Oh @Fuffedoff I hope you haven't got what I have as it awful !!!

I have been dreaming of a fish finger Sarnie but but not sure I'm brave enough

Bread roll stayed down

Will brave pasta tonight again

And maybe avoid milkshake Tom but need to get some protein in me

Didn't want my lasagne I made so struggling to get protein in this week

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/11/2024 18:16

Fab @Princessandthepie Well done on friends clothes and lb
