Hey friends. I've decided to open an Etsy shop - I make/upcycle Jean Bags. And I've been trying to come up with a name for my 'Shop'. I went Old Bag and Husband went Skinny bag 😆 Any marketing geniuses out there - Holler!!

I was going to start a thread on something that I don't think has been chatted about.... libido.

I miss my sex life, I've got no notion at all which is very very unlike me 😂😂 I know TMI but MJ has a lot to answer for. It's another reason to get to goal ASAP

I can't remember who asked but, my original goal was what was recommended at 10st 8lbs. I don't think it's sustainable, achievable or a good look for me. So I moved it to 11st 7lbs, then thought well 11st 4lbs would give me a leeway of 3lbs up and 4lbs down to stay stable at 11st. If I get there. I can see 11st 7lbs being achievable by the end of January, whether I want to stay on MJ, I can never decide. I will join the monthly maintenance plan of £20 i think it is.

Haven't had any libido since I became menopausal tbh. I have read other people have suffered though

Just weighed. I have lost 42 lbs. I have loads more to go but am feeling happy.

Fabulous!

NSV, I decided to wear a grey jumper I had from about 4 years ago and I was able to see how my figure has changed with a 3 stone loss.

So I took some new pics and thought I'd do a comparison with the before photos.. the images to the far right are "the now".

It's keeping me motivated!

❤️

Azuresky68 · 01/12/2024 20:23

@NippyCrab I can absolutely relate to that one but not going to go into any detail as it might be TMI 😅 Never thought I'd lose it but MJ is the culprit. Only 9 pounds to goal though 😅 however my OH had major heart surgery a while back so maybe he's been glad of some respite 😕

Azuresky68 · 01/12/2024 20:24

@Motnight fantastic result and we'll done xx

Azuresky68 · 01/12/2024 20:29

@NippyCrab I am also feeling the same about maintenance and have a maintenance consultation tomorrow with Hira at Oushk..it only costs £5 for a 15 minute online one. I am worried about gaining after all this hard work and money spent. Haven't decided what to do either. Will report back 👍

@AdeloreSmore what about Skinny Old Bag?
I would love another jeans bag! I bought one at a festival 6 years ago and it was used every day, it literally fell to bits lol. Please send a link to your shop, I'm excited. Xx
@Azuresky68 well DH had an op in June and he's kind of been recovering and with him being away it's not easy. Not an op like your DP though jeez, glad he's recovering. I'm wondering whether to book a maintenance chat with Oushk soon to discuss options and see how I feel after a chat. If I go with 11st 7lbs I'm 9lbs away from goal but I don't think I will be where I want to be body size. I don't know until I'm there. I await your report 📝 xxx

@Fuffedoff amazing pics. Love the dog

The face ones. You've lost double chin and have a angled face

And from side can see a jaw line

@owlyboo glad had nice time with mum and happy with pics

Still not 100% and needed to dash into ex house earlier to 💩

Getting more solid now

Yah. Sarcasm

Pickle ??

I'm more of a shrivelled nut !

Ooohhh that looks like Bath @owlyboo. I used to live just the other side of Pultney Bridge. I miss Bath but moved to the coast a couple of years ago for more space (and less ££££). Hope you had a lovely weekend.

I've lost 30lb which I was feeling good about (apart from the current stall) but I obviously still look like Jabba the hut. All of my family are skinny - as was I until the dark days, ME and bloody menopause.

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 21:38

@poppym12 it was bath! Love it there, then went to the Swindon outlet before we came home today. Was lovely!

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun it sounds awfully vain but I honestly for the last 4 years HATED having my picture taken so to feel okay about it felt amazing!

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 21:40

And @Blondeshavemorefun if we want to way to much tmi after my 💩 this week I needed a 💩 today in the hotel and OMG it was like giving birth, awful! So be aware when it goes back to normal this may be on the horizon, I literally had to pause halfway through like in labour!

30lbs is fab but I found not many Noticed till nearly 3st. Some 2.5 but it's like 3s is the magic number as someone else said the same on mj threads no comments till 3s

You've done just over 2st

Bet in another stone they will say wow

My mum said 'you've probably lost another 3lbs' 😂

Small world- I was supposed to be in Bath today for my works Xmas do but had to decline as had to sort mini smore

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 22:08

Oh really @AdeloreSmore it's a good two hours from us but love it there! Sorry you had to cancel!

poppym12 · 01/12/2024 22:09

I think I'm just feeling disillusioned with it all. It started off so well and I could feel the difference but now I'm just not sure if it's worth the expense. I've just placed an order for another 7.5 pen but unless I see the scales moving this month, I think that will be me done. I'm always in a calorie deficit but the scales aren't moving.

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 22:13

@poppym12 obviously none of my business but is there a reason you're not moving up to 10?

poppym12 · 01/12/2024 22:37

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 22:13

@poppym12 obviously none of my business but is there a reason you're not moving up to 10?

Suppression is pretty good, I'm not overeating and for a few days after injection with 7.5 I feel really jittery and in a way, anxious. I don't want that to get any worse.

poppym12 · 01/12/2024 22:37

Plus I still have a lot to lose so I don't want to move up too quickly as I'll have nowhere left to go.

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 22:38

@poppym12 fair enough! If you're eating in a deficit you've got to have a whoosh soon! I hope it's super soon for you!

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 22:39

@poppym12 I don't like tracking as I got very addicted to it in the past but I assume you're tracking to stay in track. I hope you lose soon that must be very frustrating especially if you still have a lot to lose!

poppym12 · 01/12/2024 22:54

Thank you @owlyboo. Yes, I track everything - even black coffee and the occasional sugar free mint!

I think I might stop weighing myself for at least a couple of weeks as it really is disheartening.

owlyboo · 01/12/2024 22:59

@poppym12 good idea 🤞for a whoosh!
