Before/After photos & stats - anyone fancy a "cheer" 🥳 thread?

[JoanCollinsDiva]

I've only just started my Mounjaro journey on Friday so won't have anything to offer just yet 😂

However, when in the past I was doing slimming world I found great inspiration from the before and after stories and photos in the monthly magazine as well as from other members at the weekly meetings.

Just thinking it could be a good idea to have something similar here to act as motivation for those of us wanting to get to a healthy bmi/goal weight but still with a bit to go. Also progress photos if you are still not where you want to be but are feeling proud of what you've achieved so far!

Weight loss injections are still relatively new and a lot of us are keeping it a secret from our friends and families meaning there isn't much to go on in real life. I'd love to see real photos and hear real stories.

If anyone is interested and would be happy to post their photos and stories (obviously keeping your face obscured), I know I'd personally gain a lot of motivation and inspiration from that.

My stats btw are:
F aged 45
5"8"
SW: 13st 6lbs
GW: 11st

There are lots on the facebook groups if you want to see some - although have some eye bleach ready, I can't believe how many exhibitionists post in there in their underwear!

Also be careful - I have seen someone a bit upset on one of the facebook groups as another group picked up their photos and used them in advertising their service. Once personal photos are on the internet you can't take them back or limit their use!

Oh gosh yes, there is that! If I posted pics I certainly wouldn't show my face and would advise others not to.

Thanks il have a look, I don't actually have a Facebook account will have to set one up!

I will add to it when I have some loss to report! I haven’t even started yet and I can see myself putting off taking the first dose because I’m a bit terrified 😂
But I know that I struggle so much with binge eating. I don’t have a normal appetite- I could eat 6000 calories in a day without much effort and it’s such a concerted effort to not overeat all the time. it’s like my body is fighting me every step of the way. I probably spend about £80 a month on Deliveroo and junk food so actually the price is not too prohibitive.
I lost 3 stone the old fashioned way in 2020. Felt great but it didn’t take long for the binge eating to creep back. The idea that the food noise can be turned off is incredible although I worry what will happen once I reach my goal.

stats are:

F42
170cm/5ft7
SW: 87.8 kg
GW: 68 kg
