Thread 5 is nearly full as we are zooming through them quickly.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 🎄🤶🏻❄️🎅🏼

Now to continue the weight loss….

Sorry I thought I had read you had 11.5mg left in your previous comment? So assumed you could get an extra dose out if that, be it 7.5mg or 10mg.

Sorry I meant I had 11mg left total out of the pen, but then did the bonus dose out of that.

So I have been on MJ for 11 weeks now and Iv lost 37.5lbs.

I worked out today My holiday to the Bahamas is 13 weeks away and I would love to get off another 2 stone, ideally 3🤣

and I will still be bigger then I want to be!

@Fizzleaawayy That's amazing! I'm about the same length of time and I'm really hoping to hit my 2 stone loss for New Year

I've had two nsv's : I got my engagement ring off a couple of weeks ago for the first time in years! And we were out at the Xmas lights in a NT garden and I found I could walk back up the hill relatively easily! That's the twice weekly swimming and the weight loss combined for that. So very nice not to be the one huffing and puffing!!

NSV I dropped my car to garage amd walked to town and back over 6k steps altogether and climbed up 4 flights of stairs and wasnt out of breath at all, this would have normally left me unable to talk for at least a few mins and tiredness in my leg muscles!

Oh hang on - I've felt really rubbish and exhausted the last few days, but have taken 5mg.... could that be why?! I had no side effects at all on 2.5mg so wasn't really looking for any!

@surreygirl1987 I took 2.5 for 5 weeks, then 3.75 for 3 or 4, hardly any side effects. Took 5 and it properly knocked me for 6. I really didn't want to risk feeling that way for Chrimbo. I think I'll do 5 again tomorrow because we've got no NYE plans but it wasn't pleasant although was only 3 days then eased off to nothing again. I read on another thread that it's fairly common to feel a real difference when you get to 5mg.

That's so interesting! I've been properly shattered the last few days and wondering why! This might explain it. Thanks!

@MissSmith80 what side effects did you have on the 5? I did 2 months on 2.5, then one jab at 3.75 and then one 50 clicks which I think would work out to 4.16 but I was so ill last week both ends, I’m not sure what to do again on Monday whether to drop back to 2:5 or 3.75, no side effects at all until last week.

I've weighed this morning- cannot believe have lost 2.5 pounds for Christmas week! In the past I probably gained that on Christmas eve/ day alone!

I didn't track for a big social day last Sunday, or Christmas eve/ day/ boxing day, but lived happily on turkey, seafood and veg/salad/ fruit. I tracked and kept my other days under 1100 ( my daily deficit ). I also drank plenty prosecco! I would have been happy to STS under those circumstances and cannot believe I am 2.5 down

Gotta love those scientists for this miraculous drug!

Jab day for me today, been staying with family so off plan a bit but back on it tomorrow. Going to stick to 3.75 tonight I think. I still have enough in my second pen to do that dose but it's day 35 so thinking probably not

I've ended up changing my jab day to Friday as I was so knackered Monday/Tuesday when I moved to 7.5mg and was jabbing on a Sunday.

I’ve not updated in a while!

Total loss for me is 4 stone 2lbs - officially over half way to my goal weight. I took my second 10mg yesterday. Still zero side effects. I noticed as I neared the 4 stone mark, my weight loss started to significantly slow down. I was averaging 3.5lbs + a week the last six or so weeks, last week I only lost 2lbs. Which is actually a much healthier, sustainable loss. However I am thankful I shifted a fair bit first as it’s good for the motivation.

I am now smaller than I was in 2018, and a few weeks ago I excitedly raided the back of my wardrobe for clothes I desperately wanted to wear again… and they were all too big! Refusing to buy anything new at the minute so just struggling by with things hanging off me.

Amazing 👏🏼

Interesting about weight loss slowing as you neared 4 stone. I’ve lost 3.5 stone and have noticed a change, but like you say I’m also happy with a healthier 2lb per week.

Well blimey had not pooed for a couple of days, so took senoket after dinner last night, been 4 times this morning. All normal, no runs, but yikes. 😂

also slept like a log, 9 hours straight, after my jab yesterday morning, and now suppressed properly again, as was struggling yesterday a bit and had to use willpower. Which In itself is fine.

off with friends for four days tomorrow, so that will be interesting food and drink wise. No idea what to pack as I’ve literally one pair of jeans that fit, all others are either too big (well that’s the one pair I had kept after the clean out) and look crap or the other four pairs I kept are still too small, and yup. Also look crap. Muffin top city sigh, and uncomfortable too, so not taking them. Hmmm..

I have indulged a little bit over Christmas, took my jab yesterday, but had an awful night last night, awake from 3am just feeling completely out of sorts. Back on plan today, as although I haven’t had diarrhoea or vomiting I just feel really tired and unwell eating sugar and carbs.

I haven’t gained much, but really don’t want to have any more “treats”, the way they make me feel even in moderation is not a treat.

Weigh-in day for me and there’s been a Christmas miracle - I’ve lost 2lbs! I don’t think there’s ever been a Christmas week before where I haven’t gained weight (and I’m nearly 61 so that’s a lot of Christmas’ 😁).

SW: 20st 2lb
CW: 17st 0lb

Really hoping the scales move down into the 16s next week.

I’m going to order some syringes to get the bonus dose out of my 5mg pen next week before moving up to 7.5mg the following week. How many mls would be a full dose?

Well done!

0.6 is a full dose 🙂

Thanks @Fizzleaawayy

Ok well I’m truly back to my ‘normal’ self now of looking in the cupboards and not fancying anything in them!

Same, feel so much better now suppression is back as I've gone up a dose. Last week been very hungry and resisted until yesterday had lots of cheese and snacks 🙈 today I'm a different person thank god for MJ

Checking in

NSV for me, went into a clothes shop and bought a “free” size jumper, not been able to do this for nearly 8 years. Hoping my sugars have reduced when I have my next blood test in January.

@mincepieinthesky How are you getting on?

@MissSmith80 I had the same on 7.5; made me feel like shit tbh. Dreading taking it again later. Ordered another month of 7.5. If it happens again I will go back to 5. Fingers crossed for me it won’t be so awful this week.
