Crazy we have come this far

Heading to 5mths - that's almost half a year

We have all done so well.

Be proud of ourselves

Yes we have Christmas Day to come but remember that eating a meal and some yummy stuff isn't going to make us all gain the weight back

We have to have some treats or else what is the point in life

Saying we are never going to eat ...... again isn't sustainable

But having one /small portion of something we want is a good thing

We have learnt restraint !!!

To 2025 one and all

Looked on Monday.co.uk and you get £60 off first order

Azuresky68 · 05/01/2025 18:54

Ignore last message. I looked on monj.co.uk at table for discounted codes. Pharmacy2U gives £60 off first order.

@Blondeshavemorefun annoying about not being able to finish Sunday roast...are you on 12.5 now? Maybe next time, ask for a box to take it home? I am not bothered about shitty time I had, apart from effect it had on my DD's, which was awful. It's all in the past now ..just wanted to say how you can have difficult times then life can change. Happy days now for me especially with MJ!

Azuresky68 · 05/01/2025 19:01

@Fuffedoff thanks for keeping us updated and well done on losing after coming off MJ...hope you drop by now and again to let us know how it's going 😀 👍

A good NSV today, where I noticed that in my everything shower I wasn’t contorting myself into a million shapes to shave my legs! Did also notice my arms look a bit saggy now, must tackle them. I start couch to 5k tomorrow - wish me luck!

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2025 08:49

Woke up feeling very queasy. Haven't had this feeling for quite a few months

Have taken some sickness tablets

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2025 09:14

Just been sick 🤮🤮🥲🥲

Basically water /electrodes I had before school

Feel better now been sick. As I usually do

Maybe body just needs to get used to 12.5

Azuresky68 · 06/01/2025 10:01

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry to hear this..I have just ordered 12 5 so will see what happens!

Azuresky68 · 06/01/2025 10:04

I decided to get weighed this morning and haven't gained after the holiday but I have been away since 15th December so no loss either. Without MJ I would have probably gained at least half a stone so I guess it's a win! 7 pounds to goal. Getting weighed has motivated me. I seriously need to eat some vegetables though iykwim!

FlappingMadly · 06/01/2025 11:02

Oh wow, you're sick quite a lot @Blondeshavemorefun . Maybe you need to go down a few mg?

@Fuffedoff Fab loss and brilliant update.

@Azuresky68 sounds fantastic!

FlappingMadly · 06/01/2025 11:05

Sneaky weigh in today and have put on a kg. Pretty cross cos we walked a ton - at least 10 miles on the NL beach, twice. My legs are noticeable different and new 16 jeans too loose. Hoping it's just salt and will be lost quickly.

MargoLivebetter · 06/01/2025 11:34

Hello again all my fellow August starters. I found you all again. I am sorry I have been away for so long but I have been hideously unwell. I am not entirely sure what I had but it involved flu like symptoms and a cough that nearly brought the house down. So much for worrying about eating over Christmas - such irony there!!!!!

I stopped injecting as I was so grimly ill and obviously I've eaten very little whilst I was so ill. The upshot being that in a really unhealthy way, I am now only a few pounds off my target weight, somewhat earlier than expected. I hummed and hawed about what to do and decided to halve my already feeble dose of MJ to 1.2 per week and see how I go, mainly because I have two pens to use up and can't bear the thought of ditching all that money!

I'm going to try and catch up with the threads, which as always go by so quickly. Well done to all those still here one way or another. How far we have all come.

FlappingMadly · 06/01/2025 11:50

So sorry @MargoLivebetter . Hope you're feeling better now. A few of my friends have had horrible viruses. The covid is nasty at the moment too.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2025 11:52

Great sts over the weeks @Azuresky68

@FlappingMadly I haven't been sick for months apart from grapes. They def don't like me for some strange reason

And obv the weeks bug I had and everyone who lives near me thinks I had norovirus as was so 💩🤮

I think that was beginning of 10 as I did wonder if dose was too much for me as was so ill for that week

10 was working great. Had suppression and good weight loss hence why did for 2mths and didn't go up as they advised

But around 8/9 w of being on 10 I wasn't getting the suppression hence why went up to 12.5

But was on 10 for 10w including 2 bonus and sure wasn't sick on it unless ate grapes and after a Chinese I think one night and the bug

Heard a few being sick after a takeaway

Yesterday was good leaving 1/2 a roast as usually eat 3 meals happily

I've had porridge now and feel fine so fingers crossed

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2025 11:54

@FlappingMadly sorry missed below post. Sorry for 2lb gain but sure will have it off soon

@MargoLivebetter sorry been so poorly - the silver lining of weight loss

Tho after I was so 🤮💩 with bug and lost 4lbs I the. Gained 3 back the following week once eating normally

SilverSprings510 · 06/01/2025 17:34

Well, I survived my first couch to 5k run today! Feeling positive and ready to get back into it properly after Xmas.

wohmum · 06/01/2025 19:56

Well done @SilverSprings510 - it’s a great programme . I’d like to do it again but feel i need to lose a bit more first to protect my knees.
Sorry you’ve been sick again @Blondeshavemorefun , you really do have it tough!

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2025 20:16

Honestly it's not that bad @wohmum but thank you

Get the odd day feeling sick and maybe am sick but as soon as I am I feel fine then eaten like a horse today 🙀

L soup
T shepherds pie and veg

@Blondeshavemorefun oh no, you're a wee poppadom poppet, hopefully that will be you, no more 🤮
@SilverSprings510 go you! I've always wanted to run but haven't done it since high school, my joints are too crumbly now 😂

I've not ordered my pen yet, I'm waiting on Oushk starting another wee discount (hopefully) the other one for 20% off ended last night. I've got 6.25 in the pen plus whatever bonus dose. I need to order some syringes though because the last twice my pen was very difficult to twist and I don't want to waste it.

So here's to January 2025 my wee beauties. I need to get a plan in place this week for toning and more activity other than walking xx

NippyCrab · 06/01/2025 20:46

@FlappingMadly that's definitely salt 🧂 your beach walk i bet was fab, it's one of my favourite places to go. X

@MargoLivebetter oh no, you wee soul, i hope you pick up to your normal self quickly. X

@Fuffedoff that's a good update, does it take a full 2 weeks to exit the system, I thought i read that somewhere, i probably made it up lol x

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2025 21:17

Wee poppit 😂😂 @NippyCrab 🦀🦀

Goodness me, 20 pages into thread 10!

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry to hear 12.5 is having lots of side effects, hope it improves soon!

@MargoLivebetter hope you feel better soon

@Fuffedoff great to hear you're still losing even off the jags 👏🏼

@NippyCrab good luck with Oushk, I'm with them for maintenance, have found them pretty good.

I got ill just after Christmas too, we all did. Another 1.5kg down that I didn't really need, just through feeling too unwell to eat much. Have developed costochondritis as well from all the bloody coughing, two respiratory viruses 6 weeks apart FGS!! Seems like people are dropping like flies with the lurgies at the moment. I was all up for getting back in the gym, not least because my backside is starting to look a little like a deflated balloon 🎈 now but have had to take this week off training. Bah!

Wishing us all improved health as we go through January!
