@FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden I've been following your (pre?) journey and wish you lots of luck. There's literally no reason whatsoever why you won't lose the weight you want to lose.
You'll read a lot about side effects etc etc but for the majority of people, it's very straightforward. I took my first jab though and literally spent half an hour doing it all and then hours afterwards waiting to basically drop down dead 😀
Within 3 weeks, I was whacking the jab in as I busied myself in the kitchen feeding the cat and making dinner and it takes 10 seconds from start to finish!
I started at the end of April and was on 2.5 for about 5 months, then a couple of months at 5 and now 7.5 which I'm looking to taper off over the coming months.
My top tip would be to never look at your losses over a week - look at them over 30 days. That way you won't ever get hung up on perceived 'stalls' in weight. They're not stalls - they're just your body playing a bit of catch up
I whizzed off about 4 and a half stone in about 6 months and this final stone has taken me about 12 weeks I'd say.
MJ just makes it so easy. I eat very normally - yesterday was ...
Chocolate orange oat mix (I make up a batch of my own!) with Greek yogurt and goji berries
Wholewheat sandwich with brie and roasted veg and a bag of crisps
Tofu / rice / veg thick soup thing with loads of ginger , chilli and garlic
Small magnum lolly
And that's normal for me I'd say. I aim for 1400-1500 cals a day and have never eaten below this apart from the odd day
Do shout me if you have any questions at all as happy to share my experience
