November ‘24 Starters Thread 7 - The one where we might need smaller smalls 😉

[Mounjaropen]

Welcome to thread 7 to MN weight loss friends old and new!

Feel free to lurk or post, absolutely no judgement here, just support and encouragement as we move beyond the looooongest month and into February. Love is in the air for our new smaller selves and discovering clothes we use to wear ❤️

I’m on W14 D4 and on my third 5mg pen
F in my early 50’s
H 5’ 5.5”
SW 13st 11lb
CW 11st 9.2lb
GW 10st (maybe 9st 7lb if I don’t look like a melted candle)
Total loss so far 29.2lbs

Recommend the Shotsy app to monitor MJ in the system and pleasing graphs to look at…plus the MeThreeSixty body scan app to monitor inch loss for the weeks where weight loss is slow but you might have lost body fat etc. Both are free.

Feel free to swap recipes that might inspire anyone in a food rut, tips for side effects, exercise tips, tips for titrating up or down and we love a beauty/ style chat too 🥰

I’m similar. I could end up being a cheap date 😆

Yay!!! Bloody amazing!!

Well I've definitely learned my lesson this week with poor food choices! Had too much red meat and higher fat foods and suffered with sulphur burps last night 🤢

So time to pay attention to nutrition again and keep it has wholesome and healthy as possible!

It's gorgeous here this morning - blue skies and some actual heat in the sun! So I've tasked dh with hanging all the washing out and I'm going to piss off for a pedicure 😂

SGS going around putting everything to factory reset I was only in a quick shower and he's left with DP 🤦‍♀️

SW 28 st 1lb on 22/11/24
CW 25st 9lb
loss of 3lb this week

I have just ordered my next pen and am staying on 5mg as it continues to work well for me…. I feel really great and am enjoying eating well and tend to be under my calorie deficit each day.

I am 8lb off my 3 stone, but I know I have a very long way to go.

I am upping my walking to every day 30 min, so that’s amazing for me as used to do little exercise due to painful knee.

Well done everyone and just want to say I’m so thankful for being able to share here with like minded and understanding people x

Oh no so sorry your going through that….. life is so shit at times… take care x

Wow want an incredible loss, I hope you take the time to appreciate that result and pat yourself on the back for how hard you are working. Keep going and keep up the walking. I have found that walking my dog for three hours a day has been so good for my weight loss. Fresh air and endorphins really help with the motivation and mental positivity.

@BagQueenBee thank you just another day in my life it's been every weekend for months

@murraymcgill

are you able to receive Private messages?
I tried to pm you but it wouldn’t let me

@lovealongbath I'm not sure how does thay work

I think it’s my messaging that’s been disabled 😡

@lovealongbath it's mine but I don't know how to sort it 😕 not a clue

…Or being handed what looks like a massive life jacket only to find it won’t do up over your boobs and belly…I’m not returning to those days!

that brings back memories of a Caribbean holiday when they needed to get the special jacket for extra large large lady (me). Drowned my embarrassment by consuming lots of rum 🍹

Well done! such positivity in your post - keep going!

Good luck with that… I discovered DH spilled heating oil on his jeans yesterday and then ADDED THEM to the clothes in the washing machine, so now EVERYTHING smells of oil rather than just one item…🤬

Thank God for rum 😂

At least we won’t go back to those days…

Keep going 💐

My DH is only allowed to leave stuff in the zone of the washing machine. He is not allowed to put stuff in it or operate it. He can take stuff out to hang up to dry. He understands his limitations 😂

i wanted to sen murrymcgill a PM but I can’t as it’s been disablaed.
is this personal to me or is the PM service down, can you check if you can PM please

@lovealongbath it is showing as disabled for me

That’s a relief, I thought I had been banned 🤣
must have a guilty conscience 🤔

@murraymcgill I wanted to messag you to tell you that you’re not alone and I feel your pain with respects to your son. I frequently ask myself what did I do wrong?

I have worried more about him in adulthood than when he was a child.

I mean this sincerely, from one mum to another, my thoughts are with you 💐

I saw somewhere else that DMs are down for a while as a result of the awful images that the site was spammed with a few weeks back.

Ah thank you so much, I do amaze at the loss, it’s unbelievable really and I can see the difference myself now too which is great.

I am enjoying walking and now it’s getting lighter longer so can go after work as do very long days at my desk.

No!!!!! 🙈

Yep. 3 washes later, they still smell of oil. So does the machine. 2 washes of the machine with soda crystals and the machine still smells of heating oil.

The man is a moron. I think tomorrow I’m having to buy a new washing machine. Even Calgon can’t make this one live longer 😆
