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”

Weighed myself this morning and I’ve broken through to the 14 something zone!

14 stone 12.5lbs

22lb loss. Need another half a pound to get it to a 10kg loss 💪

W10 D1
SW 90
CW 78.1
W9 loss 1.2kg
Total loss 119

Really pleased with this week, I did weigh less yesterday but I’m logging my Thursday weight for tracking purposes

This weeks loss is 2x last weeks loss, I don’t think I’ve really done anything different so am blaming hormones 😂

am worried about next week as I’m away from work then away on holiday won’t be able to weigh myself :-( this scares me as I’m a daily weigher. I am taking my pen with me and will stay on 5mg a second month

Am religiously putting aveeno on my wobbly bits 😂😂

🥳 congratulations!

Hope your DS is ok today x

Fabulous! Well done!

Well done! Hope the wobbly bits are responding!

@lovealongbath just read about your son hope yous are good and his team win last night

Wow the diarrhoea is back 😂 jab day is Saturday so I haven’t clearly eaten something my tummy isn’t liking although it’s been abit delicate all week. 3.75mg here. I think I would legit die if I tried higher doses again😂😂😂

Right, that's my jag done with 8mm insulin syringe so now the wait to see if it gets itchy over the next couple of days... if not I'll be ordering some 8mm pen needles 🤞
If it does get itchy I'll be doing more research & throwing all the antihistamines at it next week!

@lovealongbath I hope he finds going back and talking to others helpful. I hope you managed to get some sleep last night. Good stats on your weight loss.

Jab day for me. I snuck in a 0.5kg loss this week. Small but glad to see the scales move in the right direction at last. Still no 💩 🙈 I've lost 12.7lbs, 9% of my starting weight and moved my BMi from 31 to just under 28. I've struggled as my loss has seemed slow compared to others. And almost static since Christmas but it's still almost a stone in 8 weeks which normally I'd think was great. Comparison is the thief of joy...

Week 9 day 1
Second dose of 5mg
Overall loss 12.7lbs
Target loss 28lbs
Left to lose 15.5lbs

I know I need to up my water intake and my exercise. Definitely my key focus for this week.

Sneaky peak for me today as no loss on jab day. I am 2lbs down I think but am not banking on it just yet!

Feeling really sick today. Dodgy tummy and really eggy burps. No idea where it's come from as started the jabs on 2 November.
I don't like it though!

Starting 7.5 tomorrow. I sure hope it doesn't make me as sick as the other doses did or Im done for.

No further weight loss for me this week, but I live in hope...

My hairdresser is here - "ooh, you HAVE lost loads of weight haven't you? I thought that when I saw a picture of you on Instagram but I didn't like to comment in case you were offended, or it was just a great angle".

I think it goes to show that many of us have people who are noticing but don't like to comment.

Did my 45 min incline walk plus Pvolve today before getting my highlights topped up. Hairdresser said that bizarrely my hair is getting thicker which I can only put down to MJ - the opposite of the known side effect of Ozempic. 😃

Dinner tonight is roasted duck salad with pink grapefruit and I might devise a Yuzu-based dressing to go on top.

Good luck!

I feel like my breath is 'farty' at the moment. Bloody awful.

Ooh, I'd take that. Gonna weigh tomorrow morning and see....fingers crossed!

I'd love just over a stone to go, reality is that it is more like 2-3...

@Mounjaropen you are doing really well though with strong losses. And I'm in awe of your commitment to exercise. That will just get me to the top of a healthy BMI. So perhaps I should be more ambitious but I'm worried about loose skin and I would at least be healthier. I'm also very very short.

Starting to perk up a bit now thankfully @goldleafcat thank-you!

Aww thanks. I feel a million % better tbh. Interestingly, the Pvolve has built my muscles supporting my back significantly which meant that the 5 hour mopping/sweeping session after the burst pipe on Tuesday did not hurt as much as it would have done previously....I also managed an hour Tennis lesson without needing to stop for a drink. I've also taken the plunge and signed up to join the club which will mean more playing opportunities. My goals this year now include wearing the sort of tennis dress I wore in my 20's (a girl's gotta dream I guess 😂)

Obviously I'll feel even better with blonder hair and a spray tan (you can never be too blonde, too tanned or too thin where I live..I have only succeeded at the first two for the last 20+ years 😂)

@Mounjaropen I was meaning to ask how the pvolve was going, that sounds brilliant! I am yet to sign up (pure laziness) but I definitely will.

I could do with a spray tan but not sure they make one in "transparent" which is what my skin is after working from home all winter and hardly leaving the house.

@lovealongbath I love your bath related goal 😂 I'd quite like to see mine while standing up!

On my way home after 3 days in London. Will be interesting to see what the scales say tomorrow after the mass evacuation last night 🙈

Is anyone else with Voy? Trying to get them to change my dose back down to 5mg is proving impossible. They never respond to messages!

I think I'll cancel them after my next delivery and switch to a different supplier.

Oh...apologies if this is already a know thing, but I just tried to cancel my plan with Voy and they offered me £50 off my next order to stay!

And they've finally put my dose back down to 5mg. Thank goodness. Maybe I can get my Wednesday evenings back now and stop spending them with my head down the loo.

@Mounjaropen yay for your hairdresser!!

I’m yet to receive a single comment despite being 30lbs down 😒. Clearly all my friends and family are too polite 🧐😝
