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 😂😂😂

Yours are amazing as well !!
I hope you see it for you

@Blondeshavemorefun I'm only echoing what others have said but you're looking good in those jeans! I don't see child bearing hips, I see amazing hourglass curves.

@4pink1blue wow! Your shorts!! I got last summer's out the other day hoping to see something similar but they were elasticated waist and stretched to fit... stretched a lot 😂

@Weepixie we're off interrailing in the summer. All prebooked because kids and luggage make us less flexible than we used to be. But I can't wait. I love taking the train. My MJ goal is to be solidly into maintenance by then so I can enjoy every meal and be confident about what I need to do to shuffle down the couple of pounds that adds.

Great losses and NSVs - @Blondeshavemorefun well done on getting into the 16s! You look great.

-3lbs for me this week, taking me to -5st8lbs/-78lbs/-35kg 🙌🏼

Weigh ins: -7, -5, -3, -2, -5, -5, -1, -3, -1, -4, -1, -4, -2, -5, -0, -2, -1, -2, -3, -2, -1, -3, -1, -3, -2, -2, -2, -2, -3 ✨

Thank you @Blondeshavemorefun @4pink1blue for the photos - you both look amazing. Those jeans fit perfectly!!!!!!

Don’t know if I’ve been under a rock for weeks but I hadn’t realised that on long standing threads all the photos in the thread are all together under the first post on the thread.

made me look at ours and the first photo 🐘😆. Sorry if you all knew this already but proper made me laugh.

Usual 1lb off for me with week. Well done everyone else just for keeping on keeping on.

@Blondeshavemorefun so glad you can see what we all see now! Be proud of yourself, don’t be so harsh. If you’re not used to skinny jeans, they are supposed to be tight but tend to soften up as you wear them. And I bet in a couple of weeks time there’ll be less of the pouring in, peeling off!

@4pink1blue wow! Just wow! What a loss, well done.

We should all do this, compare an item of clothing from before we started to see how it is against us now. This is a far better way to monitor progress, rather than size numbers or against others. (Off to locate my old trousers!)

@Weepixie - love the sound of your Italy adventure. I think this will be the last summer of teens wanting to holiday together (loosely speaking) so we are going to Thailand and Malaysia.
Next year is mine and I’m looking at the ‘Stans, Japan and anywhere for a few days in Europe that I’ve not been to before.

@Azuresky68 - safe travels, and have a wonderful time.

Happy weekend all, the sun is shining!! ☀️

I love all of the amazing photos - you are all just brilliant 👏
I lost my usual 1lb this wk so v. happy with that - I am now 1lb away from 4stone loss and bmi 30.2 down from 38.7! It felt insurmountable- but it wasn't!
I might be brave and take a photo later.

I have a work thing in a couple of weeks and it's all 'Heads of' and 'Directors' there, and for once I'm not dreading it! Before this journey my anxiety would have been sky-high and I would be probably very grumpy. But now I just need to find something that fits me properly 😆 It feels a good head space to be in.

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone ❤️

Hi! Just checking in and catching up! Everyone is doing so well. Congratulations to you all on your losses.
I'm plodding on! Lost 3lb this week after a couple of STS so finally a whoosh!
Have a great day everyone 😀

@weepixie Interrailing sounds fab, I did it pre smart phone with a copy of the International European rail timetable which was brilliant. The early morning journey through the Alps from Austria into Northern Italy was unforgettable. Loved Verona 😍

Omfg. Are they ?

@4pink1blue 😮 bloody hell! What an achievement!

Well done on the loss @PoemsForTea

@SilverSprings510 great loss as always

thanks @BettyandtheVets and all the pics are together 🙀🙀or you mean just the elephant penis one - will go and have a look - well done on lb

@Usernamechangeforthis12yes I can see I’m slimmer

have to with the red top pic - I look awful there but as I said I R.E.M. looking in the mirror and thinking I looked ok 😳😳🙀🙀🥲🥲

Hope they get easier to peel off 😂

def keep an item. As I said I’ve kept my 20 jeans

@Weepixie think how much lighter your suitcase will be now with smaller clothes

@Azuresky68happy holidays

@PoemsForTea well done on lb ans so close to 4s

do a pic

@JoyousSwan fab loss. Well done - always nice after sts

Wow @SilverSprings510 👏👏 well done!!

Well done @BettyandtheVets!

Well done @PoemsForTea and I agree I get social anxiety and taking out the 'feeling like I'm going to look like a fat slug' element of it is definitely making life easier! Hope you find a lovely outfit!

What whoosh @JoyousSwan well done!👏

@Azuresky68 have a lovely holiday!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Happy Saturday everybody! I've been away a few days but a quick scan through shows fab results, pics and news.

WWJ for me today and after what felt like forever of faffing around I've lost 2.75lbs. I thought I was going to be stuck and just destined to be 11'13" but now I'm 11'10! I'm a short arse so BMI is still 28, but there's hope!

I've binned Strength camp - timing was too rigid for DH the household, and it was no good for my slipped discs, but it did get me back into a moving mindset and I have gone back to the gym. 2nd time today and I really quite enjoyed it.

Jabbed my 12.5, so waiting to see if I get the dreaded stomach cramps etc tomorrow for the third week in a row. Depending on that, I'm in a dilemma about next pen to order. Suppression is fine on 12.5 but I am having these side effects and by the time I've done my bonus jab next week I'll have been at this dose for 10 weeks now. Should I go back down to 10 which also worked fine and didn't make me unwell, or even go up to 15?

Some day going to fill dose is better. Anything with a .5 can be worse

well done on loss @whethertheweather

I’ve been sooooooo thirsty and have dry mouth and like a metallic taste in mouth

like I was when preg

which I’m obviously not - elephant or not 😂

I’ve drunk maybe 3litres today

I get the metallic taste in my mouth, and within 10mins of an injection the tip of my tongue does a strange metallic tingly thing for a minute or so.

Well done @whethertheweather hope you don't get any tummy problems!

So after all your brilliant progress pics I'm feeling brave to share mine! I didn't take any pictures August/September as I just didn't have the confidence but I do have a picture of before I started.

I had just snapped these but not really looked at them. It's weird seeing them all side by side and seeing how the pounds I lost each month slowly chipped away at me!

Sorry about the pants and bra!! Hope no one is eating their dinner!!

Oh strange! I added oh strange I added the pic but it doesn't show it! I'll try again maybe Mumsnet is just horrified by my pants!

Yep must be horrified picture isn't loading! So ignore my now pointless waffle!

Oh they've appeared so now you have it twice sorry 😂

An amazing difference @owlyboo! And I'm admiring of your courage at taking photos in your pants! It's very impressive seeing the way your stomach goes into retreat, as it were 😀I wish mine would do a bit more of that!

😂 thanks @weaselyeyes as you can see I wasn't brave enough for the first couple of months (wish i had been now!!)

Yes stomach and boobs are definitely the most noticeable and I honestly don't think I'd have seen it without the pictures as stomach still feels very wobbly to me!!

I'm sure yours is also deflating nicely!

@whethertheweather ifyou're having side effects that often personally I would drop down a dose. If you had suppression on 10 and no side effects that seems to work for you.

You could always order another 12.5 so you've got wiggle room to do a 10.5 or 11 if you feel suppression isn't as good. I pretty quickly got side effects on 6.25 (didn't even jump to 7.5) and have dropped back to 5. I'd say suppression is still good and I'm losing on it. I did up to a huge 5.5 this week, I can't manage with my life being so disrupted and feeling so ill on a higher dose

Wow @owlyboo amazing pictures! You're so brave doing the underwear pics. I can't even look at myself in underwear, never mind take a pic 😂😂
You look amazing - done so well 👏
