Yeah that’s disgraceful @Pumpkinforever and what a load of twaddle. I’d name and shame!

What an arsehole - seriously! A lot of charity shops will take any clothes in any condition because they rag them. You must have hit a posh snooty one. And anyway, do they never see size 20 women in their shop? So sorry you had to deal with such a cow.

W4D7 - scales were up slightly this morning, but I’m happy because I’ve been wearing a pair of jeans that were ridiculously tight over my stomach only a month ago, and now they fit nicely. Love it! Tomorrow I’m going to have a go at the bonus dose with insulin syringes bought on Amazon.

So I’m almost at the end of WK6. Due to jab this weekend for wk7. I went back down to 2.5 after a horrible wk5 but I’m feeling hungry coming to the end of wk6. Plan is to do 45 clicks for 3.75mg this weekend and see how it goes!

Thanks @JasonTindallsTan @Novjaro @TooExtraImmatureCheddar I was so angry when I got home that the packet of biscuits that’s been hanging around for six weeks was almost opened! I held my resolve and did some gardening in the rain. I am not letting that bloody snooty woman ruin my diet.

It was the way she inspected the contents. I am never going in there again, it has switched me right of that national charity. Maybe I should sneak back in the dead of night and spray tag the window with ‘Beware all donations will be throughly inspected and fat sizes removed’ .

I will stick with the local hospice ones from now on, much nicer people.

I started my first 5mg pen yesterday, but only did a 2.5mg dose. I decided to stick on 2.5 until after Christmas.

Lost 11.5 lb so far!

Gardening in the rain is impressive!

I am really paying attention to portion sizes. Today I couldn’t decide between oatcakes and Brie or a ham sandwich for lunch. Previously I would have had a whole sandwich and two or three oatcakes on the side. Today I had one slice of bread folded over to be a sandwich and two oatcakes. That might still be too much but it’s a hell of a lot better than before! But I used to think that a sandwich wasn’t enough so I had to have something with it eg crisps, chocolate, fruit, olives etc. That’s probably encouraged by packed lunches as a kid where you’d have sandwich, yoghurt, apple and a KitKat or something similar.

Well done!

Fab news! Well done!

How is your exercise going? I think most of us on here have overhauled diet and exercise in general?

Such a great result, well done!

I’ve had an increased HR (known side effect) do you mean that sort of symptom?

This is fascinating! Thanks for sharing. Off to find the app! Your loss is fantastic.

That is a great achievement. I think on this thread we’re all hovering around a stone/nearly a stone in loss and it makes such a difference to how you feel in general I think.

Did you drink enough water yesterday and before going to bed?

That sounds like a stressful day. Hope you got something to eat at home. 💐

I’ve had this all week. Checked out pressure points and exercises to relieve constipation yesterday and finally got things moving early evening…💩

@Mounjaropen to be fair my exercise has stalled. I was floored with a bad virus about the same time I started MJ which lasted for ages and ended up with antibiotics for a chest infection. I'd just finished couch to 5k too so need to get back to it.
I'm eating less than I ever have so assumed the weight would still be going down not up. I've noticed each week I creep up a bit just before my jab but then it drops again the day after my jab. This week has been a different pattern.
I'm not unhappy as I've lost 8-9lbs in the last 3.5 weeks and moved down into the next stone bracket. It's just making me wonder if I should titrate up after my bonus dose. I don't really want any further suppression as I'm struggling to eat enough healthy calories. I will order 5 and maybe titrate to 3.75.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so angry reading anything on here before. Absolutely charity shops need all sizes. Sounds like you’ve dealt with some ex-middle manager Karen-type who feels better in her own life for making someone else feel shit about themselves. I’m sorry this happened to you, you didn’t deserve that.

Maybe donate to a women’s refuge? There will be a woman in need who will be grateful for your kindness of unworn clothes with tags still on them. 💐

Well herein is the only upside of menopause.. no cycle. Downside is that most days feel like day 26 until you get HRT 😭

Hope you feel better today.

I felt as rough as a badgers arse week 1. Week 2 has been fine (apart from constipation) hope you feel better soon.

🥳 I can finally wear ALL the jeans in my wardrobe without Spanx or thinking about it. Lovely feeling. 🥰

🤞

I agree childhood eating patterns are at the root of a lot of issues. Obviously we forget we ran around the playground mindlessly for an hour every day..!

I am away for a weekend coming up. Normally inject on a Saturday morning.

Wondering if I should take today or delay until Monday… As there will be meals out, I am thinking I should delay until Monday but would appreciate other people’s thoughts!
