All welcome!

I sort of feel the same, I think. I feel that MJ has slightly dulled my anticipation of things a bit like it has with food. I still enjoy food but I can take it or leave it and I feel the same way about Christmas, sex and going out. Usually I'd have Buble on repeat by now but this year I feel more chilled about things. I'm enjoying the run up as I always do but the excitement isn't there.

Is anyone lacking the Christmas cheer this year? Usually I am the most excited person about hosting Christmas and doing all the fun festive outings with my kids. But this year I just feel a bit blah about it all. Maybe it's because I haven't been drinking or indulging in nice food? I feel like I'm just watching everyone else have fun and I haven't been invited to the party!

That is exactly it... I have no interest in any of those other things either. Hopefully it will be worth it so that next year I can be more relaxed and more like myself!

Hey all. So i went 'home' to Scotland for the weekend. Usually I'd be straight into square sausages and potato scones for breakfast, chippie or pakora for dinner, butter tablet and empire biscuits, all my fave stuff. I was just unbothered 😳 I had some pasta in an Italian for lunch yesterday and managed half. Stopped at services today and went to greggs and had tomato soup. I don't know who I am anymore 🤣 I hope the scales reflect it tomorrow.

I left I drink wine at lunchtime and couldn’t manage all of my roast rib of beef (my fave) as a treat I had 8 giant chocolate buttons. Previously I’d have drunk the bottle of wine, had second helpings of beef and eaten the whole family pack of buttons.

Not a surprise how I ended up being 14 st… 😭

I went out for lunch and reckon I came in at about 1000/1200 calories but that's it for today!

Ugh, I really feel for you having experienced this in the week. It took a total of 6 Imodium over 20 hours to stop mine but I haven’t ‘been’ since Wednesday and am starting to feel it now 🤯.

I’m also in a dilemma about my next dose which is supposed to be today (should be my 3rd 5mg). I’ll do it later anyway as I’m out the next couple of days but do not want to feel like that ever again 😫. Might try a 3.75mg and hope for the best but it is quite scary when it’s that bad.

Hope you’re feeling better soon @Ralala

Well well well, I'm on holiday in Austria, the land of the most amazing carbs known to mankind, and it's so weird that I can only eat tiny amounts of them. I had a soup for lunch instead of the Schnitzel and potato salad that I would usually have ordered. It's just a bit weird. My 9-year-old is eating more than me.

I will have my first every skiing lesson tomorrow. But of an insane bucket list thing. Don't know if that was a smart idea, but hey...

Suppression is really strong even though I accidentally under-dosed myself by misremembering how many clicks constitute a full dose. I wanted 3.75 and even up with just 2.5. But I'm kind of glad about that as it's obviously working just fine, so I'll take 3.75 for my next dose at the end of the week.

@Mounjaropen I think 40 clicks on a 7.5 is 5 🤔 not 45. Just didn't want Buttons (won't let me @ for some reason) to have more than she's thinking.

OMG that's me, too!!! Very strange!

I will report back on my post weekend weigh in tomorrow 😊

I don't have scales while on holiday. Normally, a week in Austria means a weight gain. Every time. But I'm quite curious to see what happens this time around. Will report back next weekend...

I’m fairly confident my stone weight loss so far (due to weigh this Tuesday as I do it fortnightly) it’s mainly down to vomiting and diarrhoea 😂

On holiday, I'm wearing a size 16 dress today. Admittedly it's very forgiving in the skirt but I zipped it up no problem.
Ate fish and chips at the airport yesterday at lunchtime and didn't have any ill effects, it wasn't a big portion which was helpful. I skipped the plane food except for a small tub of ice cream, mint chocolate chip. Did however have multiple glasses of fizz so may well have been over my calories.
Going for brunch later, am hoping I can do one lovely meal a day and a lot of walking to keep on track.

you are right, It is a 2/3rd dose not a 3/4!

Have a fab time!

You poor thing! Wish you better soon

Lovely feeling isn’t it - zipping up a dress without breaking a sweat 😂

I know understand why Amanda Holden is practically naked most of the time. when I have a new banging body I am going to dress the same 😂

😂

Went to Friendsmas today. Had a smallish roast and a smallish trifle (and a less smallish amount of prosecco) and was stuffed. I wasn't quite uncomfortably full, but close, so I'm treating that as a helpful heads up for Christmas.

Oh dear. Horrendous diarrhoea and vomiting all night. Awful stomach pains. I think my Mounjaro journey needs to end. I only injected 3.75 and my body is reacting again to like it was 5mg.

Feeling really despondent.

The weight loss has ground to a halt, in fact I've gained a pound this week so far.

The suppression is working, I don't feel hungry at all. I'm eating 1-2 small meals a day.

Utterly fed up!

Sounds awful!

Sometimes we should listen to our bodies. Maybe go back down to 2.5mg.

For me, weight loss works in a mysterious way. I absolutely believe that my body is a minimum of a week behind me. For example, whether I have been very disciplined or naughty, it always reflects on the scales about a week after.

Week 3 on 5ml. Felt awful during week 1 but now no side effects at all. No weight loss last week but I feel noticeably smaller so hoping for a good loss on Thursday. I'm going to stick with the 5 and not move up to 7.5.

I’m from Scotland originally and love square sausage and tattie scones too! My dad was a tablet fiend.

I can tell I’m due for a jab because I’m literally salivating thinking about all of those 😂

Well done on the restraint, especially in Greggs!
