Welcome to friends old and new!

I’m W9D2 on second pen of 5mg
SW 13stone 12lb
CW 12st 6.2lb
GW 10st
H 5’5.5”

And this is the joy of these threads - support for all of the aspects of the journey.

You are very kind - but I have to say I am getting a huge amount out of these threads too. I absolutely want to remain accountable for both my weight and choices and you guys are such a support to me too 🥰

Scroll down and click on there.

Also excellent news on both the weight loss and gym membership. Please pay no attention to anyone else’s size and don’t let your perception of how you look put you off. Our biggest challenge towards the end of the year will be actually recognising ourselves at a healthy weight and not as ‘the big lady’ 💪🏻

Come on, big girl pants on time 😉.

I REALLY didn’t fancy my new Pilates challenge today - I looked at all 4 classes for the week’s schedule and none of them were under 45 mins 😂 But I lit a couple of scented candles in the room and got on with it after my 45 min incline treadmill walk. I feel so much better. You will too. Take an ipad and watch a TV show whilst on a bike or treadmill. You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time…..!

You are kind 🥰

Ooh. I hadn’t noticed that at all.

@lovealongbath I've just checked and it's gone back to how it used to be. So at the bottom of the big boxes there is smaller text and one says referral scheme. Click on this and then on get my code. This should work.

I’m rehearsing for panto at the moment so no time outside of that and puppy training. In February, once the show is over, I’m returning to the gym!

@TeenLifeMum oh the puppy is gorgeous. But also jealous you've got loads of dogs!! How many?

Well done on the gym @LimeLace I'm like you @TeenLifeMum and donating to pure gym without actually going. Some local friends are at the leisure centre gym and attend classes. It will be £10 a month more but I think I've probably got more chance of going if my friends are attending classes. Currently mulling it over. Plus there's a pool.

Cheers I have found it.

@MounjNewb I'm up at least 4x for a pee and I hate that before I didn't get up now it takes longer to sleep then I'm up about 2 hours later so I'm knackered the next day

@Cantbesure just 2. 4yo cocker spaniel and this 2 month old sprocker. They come and sit at my feet and she copies the big boy so much. It’s super cute.

Yep, I can no longer go through the night without needing a wee since starting MJ…. So infuriating!

Fair enough 😂 Plus puppies are absolute time thieves 🥰

Completely. I’m being realistic.

Ugh, spent all day feeling sickish, having diarrhoea and shivering despite all the heating being on. I’d be surprised if it’s a MJ reaction 3 days after jabbing and after no previous side effects, so either a bug or I’m allergic to being back at work.

Personally, I would order the 5 (as I think most providers charge the same?) and use 2.5, but still have to options to move up if needed a couple of weeks in.

i did think about that, but my plan has always been to stay on as low a dose as possible to allow a degree of will power so I can mentally re train my brain.
I am on week 7, and because the suppression is still high , I am really having to push myself to eat 1000 calories a day.
Although I must confess, tonight I had sugar free jelly, with ice cream and mandarins and it was lush 🧡

@Mounjaropen it'll be worth it in the end hopefully by April ill be near my goal weight, still waiting on my new scales

Here you all are- I lost you :).

Christmas period has been a disaster 😣

Onwards and upwards 💐

I’m the same 2 pound off two stone and not one person as noticed, said this to DH and he asked if I was doing it for me or ‘others’ which he has a point, but still ! Though I do love this MJ , I’am eating healthy and for me calorie counting is what I need, and exercise, never get the starving feeling or the ‘shaking’ when desperate to eat anything, which is good. Smaller portions don't scare me with the thought I’m not full or going to be hungry any more and motivation high, keep going , drink plenty of water and have healthy food at hand x

Also another vote of thanks to @Mounjaropen .

1lb loss this week
Moved up to 5mg from 3.75mg today.

Have been back to the gym this week. Need to eat more veges as have been craving carbs as soo cold!!

I started trying to switch to MedExpress as I can’t really afford Asda but because I’ve previously been diagnosed with gallbladder disease I’m not eligible to continue - presumably because of the increased risk….except I don’t have a gallbladder anymore so it’s a bit silly! Ah well I just feel lucky to have found it somewhere anyway
