I’ve had more chocolate tonight than I have in the last 2 months put together. Suppression isn’t feeling very strong but I think Christmas is pushing through. I’ll soon be back on track but need to try not to lose my way entirely. Merry Christmas everyone!

Me too! Gonna lay off the Cadbury’s now for a bit I think 😂

Happy Christmas Eve.
I'm going to jab a bonus dose tomorrow night. I'll be able to cook and eat tomorrow and then be back in the game on boxing day. I'm sticking at 5. After not much loss the last 2 weeks my total loss is now nearly a stone. i'm very happy with that. I'd tried Cambridge diet a couple of years ago and didn't lose anywhere near that in 2 months and was miserable all the time.
thinking about the next pen, i think I'll stay with 5. I need to order 2 pens together. I'm travelling abroad for 2 months so need to stock up next week. i want to still make good choices but still be able to eat and drink moderately. Moderation isn't normally my default mode.

Have a great holiday!

End if Wk 6 and final weigh in for the year and despite a weekend in London with friends I still dropped 3lbs…..probably the 20k+ steps a day! I did feel a bit annoyed as my 5mg suppression is so high and meals just weren’t very enjoyable. A few mouthfuls and I felt a bit grim. I was fine picking my way round Borough Market trying everyone’s food.

SW 18st 12.5lbs
CW 17st 4lbs
GW 12st 7lbs

I jab Christmas Day, so will leave it till bedtime as the suppression is easing slightly at the end of the week, managed almost a whole dinner last night, so hoping to be able to enjoy today and tomorrow.

Then we are away on holiday for a week. I doubt very much I will lose anything, but I said that about London!!!!

Have a lovely Christmas everyone!!!

Great loss for this time of year..Happy holidays!

Hi everyone, I've had a week off the jabs due to my allergic reaction. I have managed to stay stable with my weight as I have maintained similar eating habits... albeit with more calories due to some family Xmas get togethers. the lack of interest in alcohol and food has maintained a base level still I think. But I'm going to try the medication again tomorrow evening I think and finally take my 4th 2.5mg jab. I feel I am now a bit behind schedule though ☹️. I am assuming I will gain a few pounds over the next couple of days, but hopefully they will come off once I am back on the mj. I am a bit worried that I will have another allergic flare up too... but it's difficult to pinpoint if it really did cause my eyes to swell as I've come down with a cold at the same time and the doctor thinks it would most likely have caused a problem when I jabbed and not at the end of a weekly cycle. So fingers crossed I will be ok! Anyway just wanted to wish you all a very merry christmas!🎄

🤞

Just popped in to say mid-week weigh and down to 11lbs 6.8 - which I am taking to be a stone lost! Late period also arrived and I think that has helped. Considering staying on 2.5 now because although suppression is much less, I am still losing slowly. I wouldn’t mind a bit faster, but I am worried about side effects. My heartburn remains terrible, but that is a more manageable side effect (and was an issue before 🤦‍♀️). Have a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day/Hanukkah/break everyone!

1stone off! 🥳

Checking in as I come to the end of week six I think (third 5mg jab due on Boxing Day).

Im just over 12 pounds down since starting. I kind of hoped when I first started to be a stone down by Christmas but having gone through the process, an average of 2lb per week is good and if I can keep that up I’ll be happy.

I can feel my suppression waning so I expect I’ll be able to enjoy my Christmas dinner but after Boxing Day I’ll be ready to go again.

I have never ever understood that feeling that naturally slim people talk about when they say they ‘forgot to eat’ but the last couple of weeks that’s been me. Amazing.

Glad to see you are feeling positive! Have a great Xmas!

Doing a little happy dance today. There's just something about meeting those little milestones in time for Christmas that makes you smile.

Weighed this morning and in 5.5 weeks (on 2.5mg) have lost 1 stone on MJ, which is 1.5 stone in total since the middle of September when I lost a bit of weight on my own first.

I had hoped I would get to that by Xmas so it feels good. I've managed to keep the weight ticking down despite a Xmas party, Xmas work lunch, dinner party and family birthday lunch.

My proper weigh in is on Saturday morning but I thought I'd check before Xmas day 😂

Plan to eat as normal tomorrow, just smaller portions and less booze. I've definitely found it easier to eat more in the last few weeks, as I find that by day 4 I am wanting to graze so I am increasing my dose to 3.75mg on Saturday - wish me luck.

My side effects are minimal now I've got used to MJ; I burp a lot and feel full quickly when I eat, and it takes me a while before I'm hungry again. Hopefully they won't get much worse than that.

Hope everyone has a lovely festive few days!

Great loss on 2.5mg 🥳

I got nicely dressed up and went out for lunch today. Was super careful what I ate then started sneezing. By the end of the meal I felt a right mess... red nose, watery eyes and sneezing away. I'm home and in bed feeling crap. I'm gutted. Put so much work into my health and feeling rubbish and missing out on time with dh and dd 😢

Aww hope you feel better soon 💐

Week 7 weigh in day and I got my Christmas wish - a stone off for Christmas!

No doubt some will go back on for next week but it certainly won’t be as bad as previous years.

Hope everyone has a lovely day x

namechangedyetagain · 25/12/2024 12:12

Have to say I'm not loving the MJ Christmas. No appetite at all, forcing my way through a mimosa just to be festive. Think I've managed one meal in the last 3 days. I'm on 5mg and all I want to do is sleep. Yes I'm a stone and a bit down since 2 November but I'm actually feeling a bit miserable. Have also been given a ton of chocolate for Christmas which will be eaten by others.
Just feeling fed up. Used to really love Christmas but it's just me Dh and the kids now and it's not the same.

Della82 · 25/12/2024 12:26

Happy Christmas everyone!

MJ hangovers are AWFUL!!!!!

pretending to drink a glass of fizz to be festive and am hiding from the food 😂

Amelanchier · 25/12/2024 12:32

I am due to jab today but I am delaying until tomorrow. Less suppression yesterday and today for sure which means I can eat a normal but not excessive portion of dinner and feel like drinking wine. I had our usual cheese and charcuterie and hot party food last night (in front of Muppets Christmas Carol!) but I didn't gorge and I'd had a light soup lunch. Today I weighed in at 13st 3.4 which is 10.6 lbs since I started MJ 7 weeks ago. Still 2 more 5mg jabs and I may stick at 5mg for next month.
Happy Christmas all x

Goldleafcat · 25/12/2024 12:33

Glad I delayed my next dose till Boxing Day from reading some of the above. I’ve had a Buck’s Fizz and will have some champagne in a bit. Amazingly haven’t gone bonkers for all the food, think I’m wary of putting lots back on. May be a lingering MJ effect too. Will see how my willpower fares as the day goes on!

I decided to do the same. I was due yesterday evening but suppression is still good so decided to wait until tomorrow

I’ve got a 7.5 pen waiting for me but think I’m going to try to get another 5mg dose out of my existing 5mg using a syringe. If I can get a bit more out I’ll have that.

Like others I’ve had chocolate and other things bought for me I may struggle to have . For some inexplicable reason my husband has bought me 3 (!) full size bottles of nice gin, a bottle of tiramisu flavour rum liqueur and a selection of hotel chocolat liqueurs. Other stuff too but not sure why so much booze.

I’d happily trade for a nice bracelet.

I had a lovely (unexpected) Christmas present this morning of 2lbs off to make 21lbs in total.

Might not last but pleased for now!

DarkForces · 25/12/2024 17:09

Just done my Christmas Day dose. I've been careful to not to overdo it so hoping I don't regret it

MsRumpole · 25/12/2024 17:21

Christmas check-in! Mine's been ok. I'm still on 2.5mg and feel like I have eaten reasonably well. Small bowl of granola and 1 slice of toast for breakfast, one fairly restrained plate for Christmas lunch, small piece of pudding, and about three glasses of wine. I was really full after lunch and couldn't have eaten any more but I enjoyed what I had.

Coffeeandcinnamonbun · 25/12/2024 18:09

I took 3.75 when I should have taken my first 5mg on Saturday. I’ve had great suppression in that I don’t really think about food BUT MJ hasn’t remotely stopped me from eating if I choose to. So today I didn’t bother with breakfast but I’ve had a full Christmas dinner (minus the normal number of roasties!) plus pudding plus several chocolates and lots of wine. Is this an indication it isn’t working well maybe? I’m enjoying Christmas so I don’t really care today but wonder if I should go to 5mg on Saturday? I could have not eaten and been fine but I wanted to eat and drink Christmas so I have! 😬I ordered a second 5mg pen. Might regret it!

Coffeeandcinnamonbun · 25/12/2024 18:10

To add that I usually strictly calorie count and have lost every week of the 4 weeks on 2.5mg happily without wanting to eat more.
