@EatingTillIDie Thanks for making the new thread.
@SpottyBumPony I can notice your wrists are thinner, your chin is looking good.... If you've raised your chair maybe it's because you're less hunched over. It's all fantastic progress. Well done.
@EBoo80 Despite side effects and challenges along the way, MJ is an amazing lifechanger. I've struggled this week with nausea but without MJ I'd never have lost that 24 pounds. I'm looking at 13 pounds to go, maybe a few more for a buffer.
RE set points: My background was in science and biochemistry (and I love all the biochemistry around the positive effects of MJ on our bodies - for heart, liver, blood pressure etc.) But I've never really found anything that really convinced me about 'set point'. Our bodies are really complex enviornments and systems and there are so many variables that influence why weight loss stalls one week (or for several) and drops another. I kind of choose not to believe in it, because then I can fool myself into thinking it doesn't matter what I do, or what I eat, and I think it does. I cetainly know that over decades, when my body has been in an upward trajectory it hasn't recognised set points, just whooshed on upwards to another new high. So when my weight loss stalls I try and recognise what I'm doing - drinking less water, or moving less, or too many ocassional lattes... I can usually find something I'm doing I just sometimes prefer to ignore it 
I do think that our bodies need to adjust as we go along, and we should embreace that process and welcome it as being healthy.
