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

Yep Apple @Blondeshavemorefun but weirdly I can quote on the app. (Think you said you couldn't before the new app? But I can't like or edit.

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?

No only free. Didn't even realise you could pay!

Azuresky68 · 09/01/2025 22:48

I am on Android so have emailed them as instructed. Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun for doing the research 👏

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/01/2025 22:50

@FlappingMadly I’m on the app but free version. Don’t pay

@owlyboo I could quote once before but if someone quoted me and they replied - I couldn’t be the 3rd reply - but can now

so I couldn’t quote a quote

but I can like/well thank and edit

editing to say ner ner to @owlyboo

Ah okay @Blondeshavemorefun makes sense.

poppym12 · 09/01/2025 22:53

No, opposite end @Azuresky68! I've been to Corralejo a couple of times but usually head towards the south. I love that island.

We love it too! Went there with my new(ish) fella for the first time together last December and it's our happy place. That's where we spent Christmas and NY this time 😍

Azuresky68 · 10/01/2025 06:17

@poppym12 where do you go to in the south? We are going back in April and fancy exploring the South. Have a fab holiday and let us know what you did about your wardrobe.

Azuresky68 · 10/01/2025 06:17

@owlyboo sorry to hear about your fall 😢

Azuresky68 · 10/01/2025 06:20

@Blondeshavemorefun. Oh don't spoil it by editing your funny typos! does the app have a search function in the thread so you can search for specific people instead of scrolling to remember what they said?

owlyboo · 10/01/2025 07:55

Morning all! Finally I had a good nights sleep! Turned the light off around 11.30, (I know that's late but didn't want to put pressure on to 'go to bed early' then must have fell straight into a deep sleep, woke up and thought if must be 4/5am looked at the time and saw midnight and thought shit I'll be up for hours now I bet but I fell back to sleep and woke up briefly a few times but pretty much slept right through to 7.30... feel much better for it today!

Hope you slept okay @Blondeshavemorefun @Usernamechangeforthis12 🤞

It seems extra cold and dark here today!

Good luck to those weighing today! Weigh day for me tomorrow hoping for a loss after STS for two weeks over Christmas 🤞🤞 want to get a dent in this final 9lbs! (Well final ish, kind of want to push it another 7lbs after but 9lbs will take me to a healthy bmi!)

Azuresky68 · 10/01/2025 08:46

@owlyboo we are on a similar path! I have 6 pounds to go, but to get to the top of healthy BMI I should lose 8 pounds. Very exciting to be nearly there! Do I remember right that you went up to 12 5 mg? I was on 7th week of 10 when i jabbed yesterday, but added extra twists to make it to 12.5 and I have a 12.5 mg being delivered today. What are your plans for maintenance? I am still undecided between Cloud and Ousch

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/01/2025 08:55

Sorry missed your fall @owlyboo hope not too sore

@Azuresky68 not sure under the free version. Premium does but not paying to use mn

glad you slept better

OP posts:
owlyboo · 10/01/2025 09:00

@Azuresky68 yes I am on 12.5, did my 4th dose on Tuesday. Hoping to use my bonus dose next week then I'm up to 15. I'm hoping to get to my goal then come back down the doses and probably eventually come off. But very slowly (move through doses the same way I went up so will take months!

I'm sticking with chemist4u for maintenance as I've been with them since the start and they've assured me they will keep prescribing for maintenance and actually recommend you stay on until bmi of 23/24 anyway at least to get you right into the healthy weight.

It is exciting to nearly be there. I can't really believe it if I'm honest. All the clothes I've been buying are smalls/mediums or 12s and I haven't been that in probably 5 years... feel so much more confident in myself. Actually enjoy getting dressed in the morning!

@Blondeshavemorefun not to bad. The knees rubbing against my jeans today is a little smarting 😳😂 did you sleep any better?

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/01/2025 09:03

WWJ day.

im pissed off

sts and I went up to 12.5 for the first time

using 10 and 2.5 from carrots 5

ive Been hungry all week bar Sunday roast but checking mfp I’ve not been over my 1200 cals so pretty fucked off tbh. Scuse my language !!

really unsure if under the carrots 5 is ok as I R.E.M. why I have it now

it was a melted delivery and we had a really really hot weekend in august and missed Fri delivery as have to sign for it

they said would come sat so I stayed in and think was in the garden with dd as so lovely and hot and they didn’t ring the bell.

Only knocked so didn’t hear it so took it back. Didn’t deliver Sunday so when got it Monday it had def melted and was warm

I complained and they sent another. Sure I winged about it on here 😂

so I’m thinking tho date is feb it got hot in aug and def isn’t working as should be

not even sure why I kept it as sent another as melted - I prob thought it would be ok

and had forgotten about it till cleared fridge out before xmas 😂

so I am going to jab another 2.5 from my 10 which will come off bonus dose hopefully so will get 4 off this pen via a 10 and start my proper 12.5 after

does that make sense

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 10/01/2025 09:05

And no didn’t sleep well. So not napping today so will hopefully settle tonight and have a lie in as weekend Tom but glad you slept well @owlyboo

good luck all the other WWJ today

OP posts:
owlyboo · 10/01/2025 09:09

Oh rubbish. Definitely try to stay busy and don't nap. Definitely think it helped me (being knackered!!)

Sorry for the STS. Still good to not have gained if you've been really hungry. Hopefully a whoosh next week!

NippyCrab · 10/01/2025 09:22

Morning all, I've lost my wee pound i gained over Christmas and I'm back at 11st 11lbs yay.

@Blondeshavemorefun don't edit your typos 😂 you're a wee tonic. Xx

@owlyboo ffs lady that was a sore one, hope your knees recover quickly.

I've got my maintenance call with Oushk today and will report back, if I remember the details 😂

I jabbed early and did last night because I was hungry the last 2 days, like the floating about aimlessly looking for something nice to have way. Stuck to a clementine and some dark chocolate though. I wonder how it works if you want to stay on a low dose but have the 30 day rule to consider 🤔

NippyCrab · 10/01/2025 09:27

I'd love to visit Fuerteventura, is it windy? I loved Lanzarote for that. X

Azuresky68 · 10/01/2025 09:29

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry for the STS, but overall you have done amazingly well and we all have for sticking with it for so long. I know how disappointing it is though. Have you tried doing a couple of days on lower calories when first inject so that you can eat a bit more on last 2 days when you get hungry?

@owlyboo yes it is exciting. I have clothes in size 10 that I can get into now. I have a very small fitting pair size 10 New Look jeans that u can zip up but a bit tight. When they fit properly I will pleased. I am not buying any new clothes at the moment as I am saving up for various things. No meals out or alcohol either..it goes into my holiday fund 😎

FlappingMadly · 10/01/2025 09:38

Ouch @owlyboo , sounds painful! Hope it's not too sore today.

@poppym12 I'm sure you look better than you think but hopefully you can have happy shopping on hols. Enjoy the sun!

I regularly get msgs about paying for mumsnet to get 'insights' and to be able to search a commenter. Can't remember what the other benefits are.

FlappingMadly · 10/01/2025 09:43

Sorry STS @Blondeshavemorefun . Happening now and then is normal, no? Doesn't mean going things aren't happening! Doubt it is pen issue. If you've hit 1200 inspite of hunger all is okay. You're just having a normal physiological reaction to reduced calories. Keep the faith!

poppym12 · 10/01/2025 09:46

Azuresky68 · 10/01/2025 06:17

@poppym12 where do you go to in the south? We are going back in April and fancy exploring the South. Have a fab holiday and let us know what you did about your wardrobe.

This time it's Gaviotas side of Jandia. Sometimes its Costa Calma, Caleta or El Cotillo on the West coast. I really love Fuerteventura and go several times per year.

It can be windy @NippyCrab but no worse than other Atlantic areas like the Algarve. I love the Canary islands for the wind as it feels refreshing even on a really hot day.

I really need to get packing.

poppym12 · 10/01/2025 09:49

Thanks @FlappingMadly. I'm feeling pretty good this morning as I'm at my lowest weight for at least 4 years - possibly longer than that but I didn't record it before.

I'm feeling more positive that I can get back to feeling 'normal'. I never had a weight issue at all until peri hit mid 40s and it's been a shocker.
