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

Morning all! Freezing in Yorkshire so the roads and paths are lethal. I haven't been out since Saturday but have enjoyed being very lazy and home alone. In the past I wouldn't have stopped thinking about food but none of that 'food noise'
Got my friend to take a photo and I can really see the difference so feeling super motivated.
I have got all the email replies about maintenance plans - no reply from IQ Doctor. It's between Cloud and Ousch and it's going to be down to price. I haven't added up how much I have spent on the jabs but if I feel guilty I tell myself that I don't have a flash car, posh house, jewellery or designer clothes and don't want any of that. Being a 'normal' weight is one of my biggest goals in life. Let's hope I can keep it off! Before and after photo shows what a difference it makes when you are a short arse like me 🤣

Fab pictures @Azuresky68 You can see such a difference. well done you!

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/01/2025 12:29

@Azuresky68 you look fab and can so tell you lost weight

@FlappingMadly I think you must have said this before as spaniels are my fav breed

@Motnight can dh syringe 2.5 like I'm doing and make his own 7.5

Def don't return as they will Chuck them and a waste

@Blondeshavemorefun he has gone up to 7.5, his decision. He agreed that the 5 was no longer working.

Motnight · 09/01/2025 17:38

@Azuresky68 you look great 🙂

Motnight · 09/01/2025 17:41

@FlappingMadly well done on your NSV! I have 4 pairs of boots that I couldn't get into last year or the year before that fit now 🤣 It's a great feeling. I bought them all from Duo in different sales and was so pissed off that they didn't fit that I couldn't even face sending them back at the time.

PoemsForTea · 09/01/2025 18:06

@Azuresky68 Bloody well done, you look so great ❤️

That's great..how did you get the beta app?

Azuresky68 · 09/01/2025 20:53

On my second pen of 10mg. Today was dose 3, but I did the extra clicks to make it 12.5 mg (thanks @Blondeshavemorefun), so after 6 weeks on 10 mg now on 12.5 mg. New 12.mg pen arriving tomorrow, after that will hopefully start maintenance 😀

Thanks to everyone for nice feedback on my progress photos. I wish I had a full length one of me at 14 stone. I only have a photo of my face and it shocked me into the start of a very very long journey. I am too embarrassed to post it. Nobody can believe it's me 😱

FlappingMadly · 09/01/2025 21:12

@Blondeshavemorefun link doesn't seem to work?

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/01/2025 21:15

@Blondeshavemorefun funniest typo ever! Lucky I wasn’t drinking!

@Azuresky68 - that difference is phenomenal, really well done.

@Motnight - 6 x5mg pens? That’s more than I’ve used so far and would do for my maintenance for a year!! I’m also a cheap lightweight!!

@NippyCrab - if you find out how to melt the tummy fat do let us know!!

@owlyboo @Blondeshavemorefun also not sleeping but found a small stash of sleeping tabs to help me get back into a routine.

@SilverSprings510 - I’ll start c25k at the weekend - I’ve acquired a treadmill to get started so I wont provide entertainment for the neighbours / panic them that I may need medical assistance! Hopefully by the time the weather is nicer I’ll be able to get to the bottom of the street go a mile more comfortably!

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/01/2025 21:47

See now I can edit @Usernamechangeforthis12 so May not be any more fun slutty typos

or I may just leave them 😂😂

I seem to have dropped a bollock.

Just after Christmas we booked a week away, we depart on Saturday morning. As always, I've left everything until the last minute......tried my shorts and a couple of dresses on today before I start packing (or rather start thinking about starting to pack). They look ridiculous.

I thought one of the pairs of shorts might be ok with a belt. Nope. They look like I'm wearing a nappy. A big wet bulgy nappy.

I've got a couple of floaty dresses that will have to do but they swamp me.

I don't have time to go clothes shopping tomorrow as I need to sort my winter feet out and begin the 'deforestation'.

I'm not moaning as it's a good issue to be having and I'm very fortunate to be sneaking off for a week in the sun. I'm just mad at myself for not even thinking that I'd encounter an issue with my summer clothes not fitting. And even more annoyed that because I leave everything until the last minute, I'm going to look like I've been playing in someone's dressing up box all week. And basically annoyed that I do leave everything until the last minute.

So my friends, a word of warning......if you're planning a holiday whilst we're on this journey, make time beforehand for a shopping trip.

Don't worry! Just buy everything when you get there. There is a much better choice abroad and it's usually much cheaper. You won't need much for a week either. A great excuse to update your holiday wardrobe! Where are you going? I have picked up nice clothes in Portugal and Spain. A sundress, shorts and a few tops won't cost a fortune. I once took an empty backpack to Thailand and bought loads of clothes over there!

owlyboo · 09/01/2025 22:24

@Usernamechangeforthis12 sorry you're not sleeping either!

I was good and didn't nap today after my awful night last night, have done almost 20k steps so I'm hoping for maybe a better night 🤞I've never taken sleeping pills. Always scared of the groggy feeling people talk about the next day... hope the kick in quickly and get you back on track!

On my walk today I went flying on black ice so now have two swollen knees, both bruised, one cut up and a hole in my sweaty betty leggings 😭 oh and a very bruised ego! So embarrassing!!

Looking great @Azuresky68

@poppym12 oh no! Do you have any friends you could reach out to who may be a similar size to you now you could borrow from? They're obviously not going to be using them at the moment!

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/01/2025 22:24

That’s so weird about the link. I click share on the topic and paste it on here

i am loving the new app tho with edit and thanks

@poppym12 prime or buy out there

I assume I will be the same for aug when we go

i usually wear strapless dress’s so will buy some out there or look on eBay or prime before we go

The link works for me @Blondeshavemorefun if that helps

poppym12 · 09/01/2025 22:33

No one to borrow anything from. My sister has never really been above a size 10.

I'm going to Fuerteventura. There are a couple of shops nearby but I don't think I'm in Zara sizes yet! Having been many times, I've often wondered where plus sized Spanish people shop for clothes as their chains only seem to go up to a UK 14.

Just got back from Corralejo..are you going there? Loads of shops there. The tourist shops and supermarkets have larger sizes/one size fits all. It's one of my favourite places over the last year. Weather is nice too!

FlappingMadly · 09/01/2025 22:43

I think might be sth to.do.with being on the app. I am not. Do you guys have the paid version?
