My amazing auggies ladies 💖 - another thread and heading for 6mths in !!!

Be proud of us all.

We conquered our first Christmas and many of us sts or lost. Which is a first.

Those who gained it was 1-2lbs (minus the lady who ate her family and gained 18lbs) 😂😂 and the gain has come off

So to a new 2025 - some are getting near their goal and thinking about maintenance

Some still have a way to go to get to their happy weight

Some are on the highest dose of 15

Some are 5 and below

Everyone welcome

@Blondeshavemorefun hopefully I get there with the last 32lbs. It’s makes me feel thrilled and ashamed at the same time 😛 I’m not tech savvy so definitely can’t edit photos but being short I was almost as round as I was tall at my biggest and just ignored my image.

Seem to finally have ny food mojo back- have actually cooked something different 3 times this week! I've really, really missed cooking so far, so it feels good 👍 Cod & Chorizo stew for tea - yum!

PoemsForTea · 25/01/2025 18:37

Some amazing percentages lost - my 18% looks pathetic 😆

owlyboo · 25/01/2025 19:01

Thanks all. It's very surreal to be so close to being in the healthy bracket. Like I've said previously I'd love to lose another 7lbs after that would put me at a bmi of 23.7 so a bit of wiggle room.

Making myself steak tonight... and as I'm cooking it I don't fancy it anymore.. brilliant 🤣

Typical, I often feel like that 😆 Healthy is bloody fabulous ❤️ I can't wait for just overweight 😆

owlyboo · 25/01/2025 19:27

Ah @PoemsForTea you'll be there soon!! And the weight loss then between overweight and 'normal' will bring the biggest and best changes with lots of NSV's which help with the long and boring weeks/months!

I ate my dinner... it was nice but definitely still off meat. Didn't really eat much of the steak 🙄

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/01/2025 22:21

I had a coop steak and mash meal for 327c plus veg

I always find veg hard to calorie

really nice and high in protein

Have woken up feeling bleugh today. Feel queasy but Havnt been 🤮 yet but did have a semi retch. Sorry tmi

i think maybe 15 is too high for me and maybe next week I will do my 12.5 pen but not add 2.5 and see how I go but I didn’t think 12.5 was doing much to suppression and why I added a little more

but thinking about it , I was on a 10 pen and added 2.5 to make 12 and last week I did 10 plus .3 , which is 5 so did 15

i was going to order a 15 pen as same price but will see how I am this week

dont like the sick feeling 🥲

@owlyboothink you are our only 15 aren’t you? How are you finding it

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry to hear you have nausea - have you tried Cyclizine tablets? Prescription only. Maybe your pharmacy stocks them. £7.99 from Oushk plus P&P. They work for me. Just googled and seen some ridiculous prices though

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2025 12:24

Weirdly I had those for hg when preg. They helped but nothing really sorts hg till you give birth. I did get some kwells last time so will suck one of those

I feel I need to eat as feel hungry sick but not sure what to have

Morning all. Had another upset stomach yesterday after eating a jacket potato 😔. That is about 3 times in 10 days. It's very inconvenient (was driving a lot yesterday - had to stop 6 times over 2 hours). Bah humbug 😬

Azuresky68 · 25/01/2025 11:09

@Blondeshavemorefun
Here are photos submitted for MJ..11 stone and recently 9 stone 4. It mainly went on my tummy and face. Lost 8 inches off my waist.
I wish I had some from 14 stone days. I only have one with my sister and mum at my 14 stone weight. Will try and find it but don't want to post photo with mum and sis on..will see if I can edit it. That was the photo that shocked me try and lose weight. When I was 21 I went to a slimming club and got to 7 stone 7 pounds...think I have a photo somewhere. So I nearly doubled my weight from 7 stone 7 to 14 stone. The gain over the years was 46%

I always love your photos @Azuresky68 you look so healthy and glamorous!

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/01/2025 17:03

@Motnight sorry for upset tummy

I did eat some something as I’m better to eat but have dry mouth and feel hungover

nursing a cuppa soup now

Hi everyone. I have spent ages trawling through Google photos and finally found my truly shocking photo, taken in 2013 when I was 56. It was a really horrible time in my life that had lasted a very long time.
The reason why I am being brave posting it is that I feel that our thread is a safe space and it won't go any further and also to show it's never too late to lose weight if you feel it's important for your health and wellbeing. But I don't ever want to make anyone feel unhappy about their weight either as it's such a difficult topic.
I put the photo on a collage when I got to my lowest weight in years during lockdown to remind myself how far I had come. I got down to around 9 stone 4 in May 2020 Thats the photo on the right. The one in the middle is me at around 11 stone I think. It's not a photo I normally share ..my partner doesn't even know I am not a natural blonde!! I used to colour my hair very dark brown. He has never seen photos of me when I was that overweight. It's the only one that exists. I met him in 2020 when I was relatively slim at 9 stone 7 but still not a healthy BMI. It's been a battle to keep the weight off and last year I finally crept up to 11 stone. He claims not to have ever noticed 😅

20bloodypounds · 26/01/2025 22:38

Aww.. bless you@Azuresky68 and thank you for trusting us. In your 2013 photo (even though you hated it) I see a lovely warm, friendly, funny, honest person. And you are still the same today (evidenced by all your kind, supportive and honest posts). You just exist in a smaller body.

In real life, I'd have wanted to be your friend then, and I do now.

20bloodypounds · 26/01/2025 22:42

And my dh doesn't seem to notice when I put on 20 or 40 pounds. Or when I lose them. He just sees the inner 'me'.

weaselyeyes · 26/01/2025 23:36

I agree with @20bloodypounds - you look like a lovely person in all of them @Azuresky68. But I hope you’re proud of the changes you’ve made

Weepixie · 27/01/2025 04:03

You wouldn't even recognise me in fattest photo..I was very unhappy and traumatised at the time..the bad old days

Azuresky, I just wanted to say I hear you and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Its such a small sentence but it says so much. ❤️

Motnight · 27/01/2025 07:26

@Azuresky68 you look like a completely different person😲 But a nice person in all the photos.

Azuresky68 · 27/01/2025 07:46

Thanks for the lovely kind responses 😊
Here's to another good week for everyone.

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/01/2025 09:07

Woke up again with such a dry mouth. Very weird
