Wow who would have thought it

We are doing so well. 7mths

Hugs all the auggies and all of us have lost a fair amount of weight

Some still have weight to lose myself included

Equally a few are nearing their healthy bmi or have reached it and thinking about maintaining

And all I can say is an elephants penis 😂😂😂

You look fabulous @4pink1blue
@Blondeshavemorefun those 16 clothes are coming soon!
@owlyboo oh no hopefully DS tummy settles soon.
@WitchDancer bras are the devil for me, my new ones I bought from m&s fit the back at 36 but now I'm not a DD, the cups are gappy at the top even with strap adjustment. I tried on same size of Next ones I had in the drawer tags on and they are rib crushing and I'm spilling out the cups 😕 x

@Blondeshavemorefun you have every right to be frustrated! But any day now it's going to be that whoosh!

@NippyNinjaCrab he's fine thanks. Was okay within a few hours. Just been out for a bike ride so he's all good again now! 🙄😂

@4pink1blue you look fabulous!

Bit of a problem here. I'm on week 5 of 12.5mg and all was going swimmingly till last week. I jabbed as usual on Saturday then didn't eat on Sunday till the afternoon. For the past 5 months this has meant I have no adverse symptoms at all. But on the Monday I started feeling really dicky, then went downhill further to terrible stomach cramps and spent that night camped in the bathroom with V&D. It's been years since I was sick! assumed it was a bug.

BUT this week, the same thing happened again on Monday. I started feeling really grim, stomach started cramping, rushing to the loo etc. This time I found some ancient Immodium Plus and chewed loads of Gaviscon, which kept the worst away, but I still spent the evening with a hot water bottle clamped to my stomach. Right as rain today!

I thought symptoms were supposed to dissipate over time as we get used to the doses. This has come as a complete bolt from the blue - has anyone else's body suddenly taken against MJ? I would understand if I had gone up a strength, but I haven't.

On the plus side, last week I lost the 1/2 pound I had put on the week before. Every cloud ....

Thank you to all the almost at goal posters promising to stay on this thread 😘

I echo this! I was getting worried I'd be all alone 😂 I'm aiming for 1 year to get to target so 5 and a half months to go. I need company!

@whethertheweather I was awful on 12.5 I'm also never usually sick. And I was really sick on 12.5. I went up to 15 after 4 weeks and have (touch wood!) been fine on 15! Just finished the pen. Don't know how helpful that is but for some reason I wasn't good
On 12.5! (Hoping I'm fine when I drop back down to it during my coming down the doses!

I’m also still obese! BMI is 33 😭 still need to lose about 2 stone to get to overweight. Again, joys of being a shortarse! Firmly in a size 14 now, but have some size 12 dresses that fit 🤷🏻‍♀️

Had to buy new bras this week as 38 back was far too big and cups were gappy too. So it’s all going in the right direction.

I'm too needy, I will be here until I'm on y zimmer with a wee crusty bun lol x

@whethertheweather I'm on a lower dose than that, but I've had a few occasions when I've suddenly had side effects out of the blue - mainly cramping stomach pains at night. It's only happened a handful of times, but t's very unwelcome, and one of the things that keeps me on a lower dose. I think with me it's mainly happened when I've eaten out or eaten something different. It doesn't always come on as an instant reaction, but sometimes a couple of days later. I think I'm just a bit more sensitive to foods I don't often eat and sometimes just a bit backed up.

@whethertheweather have a look at the glp plotter. Someone suggested it to be when I was having awful (similar) side effects and it does show how the doses build in your system so it makes sense the side effects aren't week 1 of an increased dose.

Fingers crossed for you feeling better!

@whethertheweather Weird you have been poorly after jabbing. Maybe try and eat a little something to combat it

been the odd time I’ve been Sick tho not for a long time and it was always grapes that set me off

im fine on them now

yah for a loss

@4pink1blue I can’t imagine you 5.5mths to go to lose rest of your weight. You are a size 12 and look fab

what weight do you want to get to ?

some say the half doses are harder then the higher one

so

7.5 hard but 10 ok
12.5 hard but 15 ok

@SilverSprings510 hiw can you be bmi 33 but in 14 and some 12’s

doesnt make sense

@NippyNinjaCrab you can be zimmering along with the brats - how are they ? You haven’t mentioned them for a while

@Blondeshavemorefun i promise you, according to BMI I am still obese. To get to the very top of a healthy BMI I need to lose 2.5 stone still and that gives me no wiggle room.

❤️❤️

Morning, brats are good, knob dog posing yesterday in the wind with little chocolate drop poppet. Young pup was away pissing off as usual haha.
Neuralgia is back, it was very windy yesterday but I had my hat on, it started again last night arghhhhh!!!

Greetings from a sun lounger (p'd down all day yesterday so it's not all roses!).

I used the rainy weather to go shopping in the big mall. Bit rubbish. I did try a few things on in Zara but still need the biggest size or next one down. Only bought a linen shirt (oversized obviously) as most of the stuff looked like it would have been worn to the office in the 80s.

Even though my clothes are 2 sizes smaller, I still feel like a lumbering elephant. I'm not sure that mindset will resolve even if I lost another 3.5stone though.

Hope everyone is doing ok and not feeling rough.

Hi everybody, how are you?

this is the first I’ve posted since my big moan a couple of weeks ago but I’ve caught up with the thread again and blimey, it’s really nice being amongst you all again.

I’m doing ok and I’m ok with being a slow loser and probably not being at target till July so I’m not going anywhere, anytime soon.

A big thank you though to the poster who suggested I ate a few different things rather than sticking religiously to my (holier than though 😊) clean eating. It didn’t give the scales a jolt as I still lost my regular 300/350 gums but I did actually enjoy a different way of doing things. It was like a food holiday, not that I went off piste.

So last week I once again went from 7.5 to about 8 and I didn’t actually have any problems with it despite what happened when I did it first time round. I’m due to jab again tomorrow and I’ll go up to 9 and if all is well I’ll try 10 again next week.

Ive been to the plastic surgeon about my arms and he’ll do it once Im at target which is 8kgs (I’m not going by BMI) but I was chatting with my personal trainer who’s also a good friend and he’s asked me to give him to this time next year to fill my bingo wings (and other bits) with more muscle. I’ve agreed and I’ve already started an extra two days a week training with him though those days are home based workouts he puts on the app for me. I wasn’t worried about the surgery at all, is there any better way to die than when you’re under an anaesthetic? But my children really have been worried about more surgery for me given the amount I’ve had of late for genuine health problems. And of course, I don’t want them to be scared so I’m putting them first and listening to them.

Someone mentioned suppression and apart from the very first weeks of this journey I haven’t really had much of it either. I still get hungry for my meals but I eat less and what the jab has done for me is give me the confidence to practice being hungry and not panic the way I used to, to the extent I’d be like a heat seeking missile homing in on a target in a very big hurry.

@poppym12 where are you this holiday? I have seen some reports of flooding in the Canaries..it's been pretty mixed weather so far this year over there. I am back in Fuerte in April but of to Argentina on Saturday for over 2 weeks. 1 pound away from the top of my healthy BMI now but hoping not to gain while away. One of my friends that I am going with also started MJ in August. My back is still terrible and having to take codeine 😫

@4pink1blue that seems crazy. You look amazing !! Do they want you to be a size 6/8

@NippyNinjaCrab I always laugh at knob dog. prob as only knob I’m getting 😂

@poppym12 Hope having a lovely holiday - sure you aren’t an elephant

@Weepixie moan away . We have all had gripes and moans

but understand it’s annoying being a slow loser and yes good to shake diet up a bit - what did you change /have diff ? Hope 9 is ok Tom ans maybe higher doses will help you lose weight

@Azuresky68 sorry back is still bad

Lanzarote this time @Azuresky68. I think Lanzarote and Fuerteventura have got away lightly with the weather compared to Tenerife and Gran Canaria (some of their carnival had to be cancelled due to the weather) and mainland Spain. I'd still rather be here than at home as I'm not freezing my wotsits off!

Hope you have a lovely time in Argentina and make sure to take plenty of meds with you for your back as anything stronger than paracetamol is a PITA to get hold of abroad.

I might allow a photo of me this holiday to see what I look like @Blondeshavemorefun as when I look in the mirror all I see is wobby fat and saggy skin. And even though I've been taking measurements all along, I don't feel any different.

Hi @4pink1blue may I ask... what app is your picture from, with the bmi chart thing? . I like it..

It's this one x

Happy sunning on your lounger, it's pissing down here urgh @poppym12
@Blondeshavemorefun take him haha xx
@Weepixie that's brilliant your trainer has said that, you will be like Lara Croft soon! X
@Azuresky68 when are you getting off?

Lovely thank you.. I'll have a look for it..

@poppym12 we see what others don’t and others see what you don’t
pic please !!
