@WorriedRelative ve – get well soon!
@Blondeshavemorefun and @morbidcuriosity bidcuriosity my BMI is still 27.3 too. I must be deluded because I don’t feel particularly porky anymore – I feel like I look a bit overweight sure, but kind of ‘normal’ now and that another stone and a bit off will definitely take me into the realms of ‘slim’. Probably am deluded – looking through old pictures last week and I was a bit horrified whereas at the time – yes I knew I was overweight and wasn’t happy with how I looked, but I still sort of thought I wasn’t really fat, definitely didn’t see myself quite how the pictures show looking at them now!
Great NSV @Blondes!
Welcome @Nicecuppatea2025 – I’m one who really struggled with side effects once I went over 2.5 – to the point I had to stop for a while then start again on lowest dose. Not saying that to scare you – I think a lot of it was to do with existing issues I had anyway, and this time around I’ve been relatively side effect free by taking it very slowly and carefully, and being extra careful food wise. It’s very common for people taking MJ to struggle with anything oily or greasy, which is definitely the case for me. But I’ve also found that things that used to be fine no longer work for me – healthy stuff like beans, lentils, pulses I can no longer digest. Tracking in order to keep on top of my calories has helped in this way too as it provided a food diary so I could see what was triggering symptoms.
Sorry to hear about family stress @Azuresky68 hope things improve Can’t beat fishfingers though, I love them!
@troppibambini6 Wow that’s a great loss and I would have thought 10’7 takes you very comfortably into healthy weight range? I wouldn’t be worrying about getting to much more off in your shoes – that’s my ultimate target and I’m a good inch at least shorter than you. However we’re all different and I know it’s a personal decision.
Hope pup is better @NippyNinjaCrab – and sorry you had to deal with it!
@WitchDancer – good luck for the sleepover and resisting the baking!!
I’m tired (DD sleep still awful as ever) and hormonal and bloody hungry today! I've also left myself with fairly few calories for the rest of the day because I had breakfast and it was a massive portion of the total 5% because didn't seem worth leaving the extra 50g or so in the tub so I ate the lot, with blueberries and some nut butter plus my biomel stirred in. Makes a very protein rich breakfast but as I don't usually eat till 12, i'm not used to having to eke my calories over 3 meals instead of 2. Plus lunch involved avocado so quite calorific there too. Got about 400 cals left so dinner will need to be frugal!
Even though I'm hungry I'm holding off to jab tomorrow I think, maybe Sat if I can stretch it – I just found it helped so much with side effects to lengthen the time between doses a little.
