Mounjuro August starters - thread 10 !!!!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

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

Happy Christmas you chatty bunch! I need to sit down and try to catch up with what's been going on. I hope it's been a peaceful day even for those of you who might not have found it easy.

I fell off the last thread completely with work and pre-christmas primary school life getting beyond busy. Still plodding on in the right direction though. 35lb down, 20lb to go and my mum noticed for the first time today that I'd lost weight (after she gave me a nice but massive jumper with no gift receipt for my Christmas present...) Spent hours in the kitchen today cooking the full works, then hardly ate any of it. I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy celebrating with food again (but in moderation) in the not too distant future.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Big hugs to everyone who finds this time of year hard. We raised a glass sending love to our first child, a beloved ds, who died a week after being born.
Nippy you look gorgeous. Give your head a wobble.
Thanks for new thread Blondes.

@FlappingMadly much love to you all.

Really good day today. I skipped my dose this week because I didn't want side effects. I had a few Ferrero Rochers, and a few pringles, but otherwise not really interested in eating unhealthily or excessively.
I normally go to puregym 3 times a week but haven't been for 2 weeks in the run up to Xmas and it's made me feel a bit antsy. I am looking forward to going tomorrow. They are doing free entry for nonmembers for the next few days, so we are taking our guests for a good gym session tomorrow. Annoying I have twisted my ankle but, I will still be able to do weights

Beautiful photos @Blondeshavemorefun and @NippyCrab

I didn't get into my target velvet trousers bit that's okay. It feels good to have not eaten to excess these past days. I'm getting better at stopping when I've had enough.

Sorry missed your photo Blondes. You look gorgeous too!

Oh @FlappingMadly So sorry for your loss ((hugs to her massive blonde bosum) 💐💐💐

@Timetochange24 so glad your mum noticed

@BigSilly glad you had a good day - sorry about ankle

@Motnight thank you

@FlappingMadly I'm not in mine either but still have 2s to go

If I'm not in them at 11s then fuck knows but hell I've kept them all these years

This is why my size is weird

Tops seems to be a medium. Whatever size that is.

Dresses vary but again seem to be m or 14

But trousers due to my bum tum thighs hips are still not really Shrinking

Yes 18 are baggy now

But I don't fit in a sodding 16

Happy Boxing day August crew! Thread 10 eh...

Hope we have all come out the other side of Christmas day sanity just about intact... Christmas can be lovely but it can be a tough time of year too.

@FlappingMadly so sorry for your loss lovely. It's good to hear you're doing well with the not overeating at Christmas and feeling better for it..

@Blondeshavemorefun if only the weight would drop off evenly so we could just move down the sizes in order eh! I've ended up in a "between sizes" state - all my jeggings are baggy. I've switched to wide leg jeans more now which never worked for me before.

@BigSilly hope you manage to get your gym session in

Nice to see you @Timetochange24 sounds like you had a super busy run up to Xmas

I haven't seen the photos but I'm sure you all looked fabulous in your outfits 🤩

I didn't do my jag as planned on Monday as I didn't want the nausea and stuff over Xmas and despite having not had it I haven't overeaten really. We did have a roast dinner Xmas eve and leftovers yesterday but I didn't have any room for dessert and haven't really touched anything sweet apart from hoofing down a mince pie for breakfast yesterday before going up to sort the animals out!

Normally I'd be grazing all day on Christmas so it did feel a bit strange not being terribly fussed about the Christmas food. Mulled wine, on the other hand...

@FlappingMadly I am so sorry for your loss 💐

Happy Boxing Day all! Lovely photos @Blondeshavemorefun and @NippyCrab - you both look fab!
@FlappingMadly so sorry for your loss - what a dreadful thing to happen .

i hope you all were able to join in the festivities and enjoy a few treats / delicious nibbles in moderation. I enjoyed a decent plateful of delicious roast 🐥 chicken, gammon and lots of veg and gravy , followed by raspberry/ameretto trifle a couple of hours later.. but DIDN’t have that awful , completely stuffed feeling I was dreading. So definitely a win in my book!
I weighed yesterday and had lost another lb, but fully expecting it not to show on the scales tomorrow .. but not too worried as I know it won’t be a true reflection for a week or so.

A couple of days of more than usual cals won’t undo all the good work we have done these last 5 months - we’ve got this !

Thank you all. I am honestly okay. He is remembered with love. I know others have sad memories too 💐
Blondes, big bosom.here too. It'd be quite a sight 😂😂

@FlappingMadly tightest hugs from me, 💐❤️

@wohmum ooooo raspberry and amaretto yum.

I was like that yesterday with enjoying food just not being a glutton, I had chicken poori and it was 4 small pieces and I had 2 and DH had one of mine and I left one. The main I chose was a chasni and came with rice and the boys ordered 2 nann for the table. I could only manage half. I didn't have a 3rd course but really wanted the Indian rice pudding lol. I just enjoyed my dinner without feeling rubbish.
Later I had a bit of plain madeira cake and that was me. Normally I'd be thinking forward to a sweet rather than enjoy what's on my plate. I'm trying to eat mindfully but not depriving myself. God I sound a boring wee crab 🦀
I'm just conscious when DH leaves again my insecurities come back and I feel lonely and eat 😂

We are having a roast today and I'm making peas so farts galore later 😋 😅 💨

Our joint was 4.5kg and weighed a ton. I was carrying FOUR. Crazy! I've got about four more to lose too, sigh.

I didn't inject yesterday and I think I'm too hungover to do it today!

Would it be OK to inject tomorrow or would the be too long with it?

I think from memory that you can go 4 days over @Princessandthepie and also do 4 days between injections. I've gone 2 days over regularly and it's not been an issue (apart from appetite suppression waning!).

Congrats to everyone who survived and hopefully enjoyed the day, as well as hugs to all of us who have been thinking of people and animals we’ve lost.

I was fretting that I wouldn’t be able to eat much at all, which might be a downer as it was just me and my daughter, so a bit evident I wasn’t joining in. This wasn’t the case 😳. I greeted roast potatoes and Quality Street like a long lost friend! I definitely didn’t overeat as much as on a regular Christmas, but had more than the idle nibbling I was imagining. Feel a bit bleurgh today, but no terrible ill effects. Will try to maintain a reasonable pace through the leftovers and feel confident I’ll be back on track by next week, rather than letting Christmas sabotage several months, like I did last year. May look at the scales with one eye closed tomorrow, though 😀

Thank you

I actually weighed in at a new low today as didn’t eat much yesterday.
No alcohol. 1 Lindor choc, a small starter, smallish Xmas dinner (2 roasties, 1 pigs in blanket, 1 small Yorkshire, small portion of stuffing, 2 thick slices of turkey, 1 parsnip and the rest veg) medium slice of roulade for desert and that’s it no other food for the whole day. Was really strange. I still enjoyed it just wasn’t bothered with eating (or drinking for that matter woke up somewhat dehydrated this morning) moving to 10 the last couple of weeks has hit me like a freight train. I think I have lost more weight this week since my initial 1st week. I don’t really record my weight loss as such. Just have a mental tally going in my head and weigh every so often.

@wohmum well done for lb lost

Hoping for sts did me Tom after 2 days of not calorie counting

@FlappingMadly (.)(.)
(.)(.)

We would be like this

💖💖💖💖💖

@NippyCrab not boring at all

Does dh work away ?

@Princessandthepie I think a day late is fine

Sure they say a after 4w they say start back a low dose

So a day is nothing

@weaseleyes sounds like a great day. Roasties and chocolate

@Redlightbulb I feel very thirsty at the moment as well

I haven't been really bad

Roast dinner and veg

Left some as was full up

So glad I can actually leave it now

Baileys
Few crisps

Grilled full English breakie not fried

Cold meat mash

I've been good. Haven't over indulged but had a treat or two

@FlappingMadly small goals, that 4st will be peanuts 😍

@Blondeshavemorefun yes he works away, i see him 6 days a month 😔 some of the other wives love it 😂 i hate it! Xx

@NippyCrab that's tough - make the most of him while he's home.

I went back down to 2.5mg last week so I could enjoy cooking and eating. I certainly ate more than in recent weeks. Had all of my starter yesterday and most of my half portion of salmon en croute. But left quite a lot of veg etc. Managed a small piece of dh's home-made pavlova too. Then had cold meat and salads for tea.

I saw a thread where people were posting their Christmas lunch photos. Gosh some of those helping looked enormous. That would have been me last year, but this year I feel a bit ill to even look at it.

Visitors have all left for a few days so it will be a nice bowl of soup tonight. I jabbed again today (day 6) another 2.5mg, as I was definitely starting to think about snacking on crisps or sweets... I guess it's a wee insight into how I might feel at the end of this MJ journey. I was happy to feel a bit more 'normal' and to enjoy a few glasses of wine. But I'm more than ready to get back on with it now, and will creep up the doses again over the next few weeks.

Hop folks had a good Christmas, whatever it brought.
