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

WWJ day

First W not an issue 😂
Second W flickering between 9/10

So I've taken the 10 which means a sts

Happy with that

Bet if I hasn't eaten the BBB's -- bloody baileys biscuits 😂 last night I might have had a loss of lb and be a solid 13/9 but it isn't

J - started to inject and bloody pen plunger wasn't twirling back down - think it's broken 😡

So I've syringed .6 out which is 10mg

So now pen looks weird as a space between liquid and plunger

Which means next week I will have to syringe the last out

Commiserations to those for whom Christmas magnifies the rubbishness of exes.

I gained one pound this week - I’m irritated, but frankly it’s deserved! It’s the first week I’ve had an actual gain, so I think I can live with it in the festive circumstances. Am slightly anxious about the amount of interesting food still in the house and how easy it was to override my non-eating filters. I think my avoidance of overeating and unhealthy food has involved more habit and active effort than I realised, being on a low dose, so that’s a good sign really. I shall do my utmost to lose two pounds this week, which should take me back into genuine loss territory.

weaseleyes · 27/12/2024 10:08

@Blondeshavemorefun I had a pen that did that - most annoying. I think it led to me under-dosing a bit that week, which was unwelcome, as I underestimated how much I’d actually had from the pen before syringing.

Morning all - i am so pleased everyone managed to get through xmas in their own ways, and boy, there are some great pics on here... everyone looks so so nice and loving their beautiful outfits and looking slinky and festive and bright ! Its amazing... well done all of you....

I'm not too bad; got through it as best i could; tried to distract, tried to laugh and it was actually ok... today is the anniversary of the passing of a parent so not the best of days - but.... I went back to the pool for a couple of hours this morning as it has been closed since xmas eve... and i took my swimming MP3 player now i have all my music downloaded on it ... and OMG it made such a difference - i felt like i could actually swim for hours and hours; listening to Simon & Garfunkel, Elton John, Toto, Rag n bone man, Calvin Harris, Rhianna, Sia, dance mixes of the 90's... the list goes on.... the quality is amazing (bought from china for £15)!!!! and i am gobsmacked !!! Even if it doesnt last long it has actually made my Christmas !!! (although saying that it has a 2 year warranty) !

On a sad day like today, i honestly needed that this morning... I am now going to go and have a drive out and distract more by going sale shopping !!!

Oh, BTW, agree that all exes are tossers !!! xx

weaseleyes · 27/12/2024 11:00

That sounds like an excellent way to cope with a sad day @Changinghabits1973. Enjoy your retail therapy!

HereIfYouNeedMe · 27/12/2024 13:02

Maintained this morning! So I'm happy with that, 3stone 4.25lbs loss in total 🙌🏼
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2024 15:04

@weaseleyes think many will gain or sts due to Xmas

But that's fine. It's a good reason

I'm not sure what dose I did have as def jabbed self but then didn't move

I syringed .6 out so I've def had 10 and maybe a little more

@Changinghabits1973 sorry for loss 💐💐 and your waterproof music things sounds fab

Well done @HereIfYouNeedMe on maintain

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2024 15:06

My pen

Think that was the 4th dose so next week I would syringe anyway so not too bad I think

If it is under 10 next week I will be adding extra

Thanks everyone for the kind words...he is a complete arse!!! But hey ho at least he's not my arse anymore!!

I'd rather sit out in the rain in a bikini than go on holiday with him ever again 😂😂

Somehow I have lost 2 lbs 🤣

Yeeharrr!!

20bloodypounds · 27/12/2024 18:42

Amazing @Motnight you must be very pleased with that.

I've put on one pound, but given that I'd reduced my dose back down, and that I had a fair amount of alcohol, I'm not surprised. Like others I'm looking forward to being back eating what I know feels good for me - there have been a few treats but I'm not at all tempted to keep on having them. I'll weigh mid-week to check that I'm back on track. Today I've been peeing loads, and that always feels like a good thing for weight loss. All those carbs are going (I hope)

There are load of salads in the fridge and lots of veg, plus some salmon and chicken in the freezer. Roll on the next half stone loss...

Loved the photos of so many in their outfits. Looking good people, but more importantly looking confident, and feeling willing to post. That is fantastic!

I was given an unbelievable number of presents which were biscuits of chocolates. I'll find places to re-gift them in the New Year - places that will really appreciate them. I have SILs who have previously chastised me for my weight, suggest I need to get a personal trainer and build muscle. Yet they buy me biscuits and chocolates. Every year I offer up a list of great books, or small luxury items, or vouchers to the cinema. Every year I get nothing that I want ps SILs, I hate ornaments!

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/12/2024 19:13

Well done @Motnight

I'm Hoping for that next week

@owlyboo indeed he isn't your arse anymore

@20bloodypounds sorry you gained but sure you will have it off very soon

Annoying about the chocolates

OP posts:
weaseleyes · 27/12/2024 19:17

@20bloodypounds annoying about the chocolate, but who will they look down on and preach at if you keep on getting slimmer?

Usernamechangeforthis12 · 27/12/2024 22:39

Great pics @Blondeshavemorefun, @4pink1blue, @NippyCrab @SilverSprings510 you're all looking fab.

@owlyboo - sounds like you’re well rid. I don’t think I’ll ever understand how men seem to be able to just walk away and start again.

@Changinghabits1973 - sorry for your loss but glad you’ve managed to distract yourself with some great tunes. Your mp3 player sounds great, where did you get it?

I skipped my jab Monday as knew the suppression would be so great by Wednesday that I wouldn’t be able to eat. Without the jab, I was able to eat Christmas dinner but still kept to a smallish plateful. I’ve jabbed today, and had a sneaky peek the scales which are up just over 1lb but proper weigh day is Monday. I’ll jab again a week Monday and will then be back on track.

Have met up with family over the holidays who’ve complimented my weight loss but I’m trying to keep it very low key. I want to lose just over another stone but my main aim in the new year is to tone up.

This email just made me larf 😂

Grin

I keep getting texts from Dominos saying similar and giving me a discount.

It's DH and the DC who order more than me, but it's always me that had to do it as DH hates the website and offers palava to get one pizza down from £££ to almost reasonable.

morbidcuriosity · 28/12/2024 00:06

WOW Thread 10.. amazing!

I've been at work all week, normal week for me, don't really do Christmas so not been tempted with bad treats so hoping for a loss again come monday but we shall see.
My 7.5 is starting to feel good, at the start the suppression was so strong i struggled to eat but dont really want to take different amount so stuck with it and now im fine, I can eat when i need to and still not snacking.
Ive caught up with you all now and everyone's journey is so different but I love reading about them.
I shall come back monday with my weigh in, fingers crossed for another loss..

SilverSprings510 · 28/12/2024 10:24

I’ve lost -3lb this week! Taking me to -4st1lb/-57lb/-25.9kg. Also takes me under the next stone bracket 🙌🏼 Really pleased! Think 10mg is working well for me but will give it a few more weeks before deciding what to do next month. Was hoping to get a couple of months out of 7.5 and didn’t so hopefully can with 10 🤞🏼

Weigh ins: -7, -5, -3, -2, -5, -5, -1, -3, -1, -4, -1, -4, -2, -5, -0, -2, -1, -2, -3 🙌🏼

Changinghabits1973 · 28/12/2024 10:44

Morning all - hope everyone is ok...

Just back from another couple of hours of swimming; who knew music could be so motivational whilst swimming; i honestly lose myself at the minute in the water, and for my mental health its absolutely brilliant - for the people who were asking where i got it, it was from Ebay; brand new with a 2 year warranty for £29.00 - think it might have then come from China 😂but for that money and with a warranty i can't fault it...

I had a sneaky weigh in this morning after having not been bad really at all over the last few days (apart from a small yorkshire pudding, and one pig in blanket).. no chocolates, no pudding, no crisps, no alcohol etc and I HAVE PUT ON 4 LB !!!

Flipping heck....!! I have kept up the water intake also; and am due my fourth jab of 10mg tomorrow, and now i think i may go up to 12.5mg? I honestly don't know what to do; the past few days i have only got through it with willpower; my cravings for crap are back...

I think i may switch up the injection site tomorrow .... maybe try the thigh? I have only done stomach all the time...
Any advice from you lovely lot would be so greatly appreciated today... !! xx

FlappingMadly · 28/12/2024 11:29

Yesterday was weigh and jab day. I'm STS.
I have 5 pens currently. 2 of them were delivered to a friend yonks ago when I was travelling and we've only just got together. One pen is a 5mg with use by date Feb so using that first. I did 5mg plus 3.5. The first was on the arm and I.lost a trickle. Now I'm fretting and wondering if I should add 100mg .

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/12/2024 11:39

@morbidcuriosity glad 7.5 is ok

@SilverSprings510 another amazing loss well done

@Changinghabits1973 sorry for gain. It may be like the one I had after my 💩🤮

I was gutted as you may well remember

But the following week most came off

I've always done tummy but did thigh once and don't think it made any real diff

@FlappingMadly I doubt a trickle would make much diff but if you feel better add an extra .1
