👏👏👏 fab loss!

Yeah, he couldn't win this one. Not getting me an advent calendar = proof that he doesn't care. Getting me junk food = proof that he doesn't care. Poor DH...

lol at the dreaded burps…hope they’re not too bad.

can you batch cook the dishes everyone likes when you feel well enough and bring them out of the freezer on the days you don’t? When my kids were little I used to mainly do sharing dishes in the middle so they took what they fancied but my mantra was that I wasn’t a short order cook. Or I used to let them take turns in deciding what tea would be so that they understood not every day would be their personal fave. Seemed to work. They don’t stay fussy forever IME, it’s usually a power play between themselves 😂

🤣 yep any form of pastry is a killer!

Reposting my weigh in yesterday to get properly bookmarked on here. Thanks for the new thread!

Weighed in today, though injection day is tomorrow (it just occurred to me that they don't have to be on the same day). Week 1 Day 6. I've lost nearly 7lb, making my total loss in the last two weeks nearly 13lb. Mental. I'm really pleased but also really anxious about ending up with saggy skin if I lose too much too soon.

Some of that is a delayed reaction from last week (had my period so would have been a bit bloated) but even so. If it's still like this at the end of week 4 I'm sticking with 2.5mg for another month.

SW: 151kg
CW: 145.2 kg
GW: 95 kg

Thanks for the new thread - just checking in. W3D7 so last 2.5mg jab tonight. Down 10lbs in 3 weeks and enjoying life. Now wondering if I should go up next week or not. Witchcraft indeed.

I think you're being too hard on yourself here. You're doing amazingly well and to make weightloss sustainable in the long term you cannot be strict 100% of the time. A total intake of 2000 calories is not bad at all for a one off!

I mean this is the reality that a lot of us are experiencing 😆😭

I think I may have had an episode of hypoglycaemia last night?! Anyone else?
I was intensely hungry- so hungry that I almost ordered a bunch of junk food off Deliveroo, but I managed to stop myself and get some healthy leftovers from the fridge. Then I had an episode of intense chills. The heating was on but I needed an extra layer of pjs and two duvets and I was still freezing. Felt like a fever but no temperature. Took an aspirin and eventually fell asleep and when I woke in the night was hot again.

This morning I woke up exhausted and promptly vomited 🙄.

So all in all, jab 6 not going well for me…

Just place marking the new thread thanks OP.
Catching up, weigh day tomorrow will report in then.
Happy Sunday all

Yes really. I don't think it's in the supportive context under which these threads were originally set up.

That is a great loss! I’ve been incorporating toning exercises into my exercise regime and upped my neck skincare game to try and stave off any sagginess. We shall see….

Woo hoo! I’m going for the 5mg tomorrow. We shall see what happens…🤞

Well those were my thoughts too 😂 Can’t please everyone all of the time I guess!

@Demjay oh dear, that doesn’t sound at all pleasant for you. Did you go up to 5mg for this dose?

Lots of viruses around at the moment. Could be that? Hope so.

Sorry you feel that way. I don’t think the title is influencing how much support there is on here though.

I'm about to order my second pen. I'm with Med express and I don't want to change any ways to get money off my order?

Follow the advice from @IHateMozzies on thread 2. It definitely works. You’ll need to order from medExpress as normal then you’ll get credit into your account.

Oh wow, this thread moves quickly. Great news for those with losses and hopefully the posters who are struggling are starting to see results.

I was worried about today’s weigh in. I went to Bath with my mum and we did the spa then went for a lovely Thai dinner. I tried to make sensible choices, and it was delicious. But I also had alcohol (no suppression for me, but I don’t drink much usually). I’m delighted that I didn’t gain, just stayed the same. Hurrah for having Jasmin tea rather than a dessert. Felt so stuffed I didn’t even feel hard done by.

so at the end of week 2, loss has slowed but I’ll take it:

sw - 12st 9lbs
cw - 11st 11lbs
gw - 10st 4lbs

week 1 - 10lbs loss
(including a week while I waited for the pen but I started calorie counting)
week 2 - 2lbs

challenges this week included work Christmas do with buffet food and eating out/alcohol.

5mg pen purchased. Jab time later today. Good luck everyone.

We have to laugh at ourselves and our experiences along the way. This is such a supportive group (one of the best I’ve experienced and I’ve been on mn for years). The name reflects the fact there’s side effects to the jab. Personally, I’ve eaten loads of eggs on the jab and haven’t had eggy burps, but others have jointly joked about it on the previous threads. I’m not sure I understand the offence you’ve taken but please don’t see that as a sign we’re not supportive.

I didn't even notice the name of the thread. No eggy burps here, but it is a thing for a lot of MJ users.

That's a good plan. I have the Delia cookbook already.

Couldn't eat much yesterday, which is a first for me in 64 years :) but i did have 2 of theLidl spare ribs that I did for DH for dinner. OMG the heartburn all night was awful. Or it could have been the 2 gins that I had in the evening. I've managed breakfast of protein bagel and smoked salmon this morning.

PS great thread title.

12lbs in 2 week is fabulous! Congratulations!

If you had tonic with the gin rather than a martini I’d wager it was the fizzy tonic water that is your issue. Hope you feel better today.

I’m quietly pottering about the house with Xmas tunes on doing my trees etc with no bugger disturbing me. I actually feel less annoyed by everyone since being on MJ. Maybe this is an unintended benefit. Probably because I’m not starving and hangry 🥰
