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 😂😂😂

I am off to a (for me!) relatively posh restaurant for Valentine's Day with DH. We're then staying in a Castle! This time last year I would have been too uncomfortable with my weight to dare to go to this restaurant which in itself is ridiculous and ironic but that is how I felt. This year I am going to enjoy a tasting menu and lots of sparkling wine.

Happy Friday to everyone 🥳

Enjoy!!

owlyboo · 14/02/2025 07:53

@4pink1blue yay! Well done. Happy birthday!

@Motnight okay thanks I shall take a look! Enjoy the castle!

Happy Valentine's Day!

@Blondeshavemorefun being a single pringle is not so bad, you are healthier, slimmer and on route to some of your goals... celebrate yourself because you are super good at celebrating others

poppym12 · 14/02/2025 08:12

2lb off this week. Unusual for me but I am ill. Seriously going to have to quarantine husband next time he goes to an event in London/Manchester.

Just debating whether I should try to get a docs appointment for a possible (probable) asthma flare over the weekend.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/02/2025 08:27

WWJ day and sts

have to say a little pissed off with that

im usually a 2lb a week girl. Last week was lb and now nothing this week

ive 2 doses left of 12.5 and now wondering if I should have gone to 15 for next order

I think I can email ousk and change it before it gets delivered after next week

@Weepixie wow that's amazing news I'm so pleased for you and your family 

@4pink1blue that's amazing loss well done!! You must feel like a new person?! You've lost Victoria Beckham in weight 😆

@Motnight that sounds fabulous I hope you have the best time!!!

@poppym12 I hope you feel better soon

Jab and weigh for me today too. I've gone up a pound which is a bit annoying but I face planted into a far too big bowl of pasta last night so I'm hoping a poo will send that pesky pound that appeared overnight on his way!

Thank you for the advice re my target weight. Sorry can't remember who suggested treating it as the start of maintenance and any loss is a bonus but I think that's the way I'm going to go.
I've another box of 12.5 and one more jab in this pen for today. After that I'm going to start reducing my dose down. Which is quite frankly terrifying 🙈

troppibambini6 · 14/02/2025 09:02

@Blondeshavemorefun I hate weeks like that! I try and look at the bigger picture but it's not easy!!

NippyNinjaCrab · 14/02/2025 09:08

Morning ❤️ happy happy love day to all you amazing women (assuming no men sorry) I've managed to read properly up to 10.17am yesterday haha. All the posts are fab and I like making sure I don't miss anything. @WitchDancer I love a wee chocolate brownie, baking sounds great haha. I have joined an online crochet group and they have recommended Bella coco site for learning if I can't get a group. I've not been on it, I'm the worst procrastinator then I will have a burst.
Yes it was the rug, the big one, i need a carpet cleaner, looking at the Vax one. Bloody animals.
@Blondeshavemorefun the old yin sounds fabulous and I love that she told you how it is, yep you've lost loads but it's getting lost in the size 16 jeans war haha. Remember that the weight we lose will also include visceral fat which we can't see but is the most important.

@Azuresky68 those fish fingers sound lovely and i think i will pop in tomorrow and get some. I'm too far away with today's adventures to head in to Sainsbury's. I can't be trusted to not go into the home and clothes section, stationary is also a dangerous area 😂😂

I'm off to read from yesterday morning properly and post again xx

1clavdivs · 14/02/2025 09:09

Cannot believe that I tried a pair of size 12 jeans on yesterday and I could actually do them up. Have not been able to do that since I was 17.

I didn't buy them because they were too tight and uncomfortable, but still. I COULD DO THEM UP!

poppym12 · 14/02/2025 09:31

Morning @NippyNinjaCrab. I'm trying to teach myself to crochet but I'm crap. I bought a book with instructions - still crap. I'll definitely have a look at the Bella thingy you've mentioned. Thank you.

NippyNinjaCrab · 14/02/2025 09:36

That's a lovely wee morning @owlyboo x

@troppibambini6 wow that's brilliant and a good weight to be but only you know how comfortable you are with it. X

@Azuresky68 missed saying I'm sorry for your family hurt, I'm no contact with my other sister. You need to protect yourself sometimes lovely x

@Weepixie aw that's a wonderful post and whoop for your discharge, a rottweiler in lipstick made me belly laugh. Hugs and your bloods will be perfect. Xx

@AuntieDote i love the Fage 5% and I normally measure the 100g but I too finished the tub last night with a mountain of stuff underneath 😀 x sorry you're tired too.

@weaselyeyes it's not negative at all, it's how you feel and the denial is real or was.

@4pink1blue Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 and that next number down is the best present 🎁 x

I know I've missed acknowledging posts but I've read everyone. That's shit from Oushk @morbidcuriosity I've never had an issue and I hope they aren't sliding with customer service now they are getting busier! A delivery voucher is pretty poor really. X

It's wwj for me too and I'm down a wee 1lb so now 11st 4lbs and 4 to go until my original goal, will go down a little further to 10st 7lbs and that will make me happy.

I took new photos and DH took one of me last Sunday at lunch out. It's the first picture I've not asked him to delete, I look happy and I really look like a different woman! I got leggings that actually fit and they make me took much better instead of a saggy bag lady.

I'm meeting a dog trainer today, I'm embarrassed to have to do it but the puppy has managed to have me stumped with recall. His is zero, I've done all my usual things I've used for years and he's skipping off while giving me the middle claw saying get it up yi Maw. Sigh.....

Morning @NippyNinjaCrab. I'm trying to teach myself to crochet but I'm crap. I bought a book with instructions - still crap. I'll definitely have a look at the Bella thingy you've mentioned. Thank you.

Let make it our spring goal, apparently the videos are really good for beginners. I just want to crochet a square. I would also quarantine your DH, i always say to mine to stay away if he's in any way germy 😂. You will understand this one, I've had a small flare due to the stress reaction to what happened 3 weeks ago here and my mouth inside is all cold sore blisters. Urgh, our ME bodies are the pits!

@1clavdivs i love that nsv, buy the jeans, i did and I'm nearly there, for public outings haha xx

poppym12 · 14/02/2025 09:52

Awww sorry you're having a flare @NippyNinjaCrab. I understand completely and it sucks. Make sure you rest, rest some more and then rest even more - and try not to throw things around in frustration at having to rest!!

I've felt the tingling of a cold sore at the corner of my mouth this morning so have slapped some cream on it.

I could really do without being ill and the protracted recovery that ME brings. Lots planned for next week as germ ridden husband has a big birthday and the week after that we're going on holiday.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/02/2025 10:27

@troppibambini6 your bmi is 22 so you are def a slim Jim !! Thanks. I am pissed off as sure I’ve been in cals this week but haven’t had a suppression day at all this week

well done @1clavdivs. I can only dream that when /if manage to lose this last 2s I will get back into a 12

or even a sodding 16 would make me happy

well done @NippyNinjaCrab for lb loss

is dog trainer for knob dog - is he the youngest

sorry for flare

@poppym12 I get cold sores and always have a spare cream as need to dab it on at the first tingle and I can usually keep them under control

holiday soon. Enjoy

The lovely @NippyNinjaCrab sent me some 16’s

I am sad to say I can’t get into them. I am not a 16 - well def not a skinny 16

2 pairs I could just squeeze up my legs but couldnt get over thighs /bum 🥲🥲 but with some major tugging got them up but literally couldn’t breathe or move - and took a while to peel them back off me inside out

others I def can’t get into. They are all skinny fit. I am def not skinny lol.

Hopefully one day I will managed to squeeze into the jeggings but don’t think will manage the skinny 16’s as couldn’t even get past my knees up to my thighs - it’s official.

I am not a 16 sadly and why still in 18’s tho they are bloody baggy.

I will have to try and see if can find some normal 16 not skinny and see if I can squeeze my fat arse into them.

But I did really appreciate her sending them. 💐💐💐

Aww, bad luck on sts and the jeans not fitting @Blondeshavemorefun . I bet they’re fitting within the month and the scales are down next week. Bodies are mysterious and disobedient.

Congrats to @NippyNinjaCrab and @poppym12 on losses, @1clavdivs on size 12s, @Motnight on fun plans and not being too unconfident to do them, and of course to @4pink1blue on a massive loss! I have actually weighed 6 stone as a (young!) adult, so you’ve lost a whole youthful weaselyeyes!

Current me weighs considerably more 😀but I have lost 2lb. 10’1” - the 9s are in my sight!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/02/2025 11:08

@weaselyeyesvery unlikely they will fit in a month . I’ve lost 1 lb in 2 w - but I had better bloody lose weight next week

well done on 2lb loss

@Blondeshavemorefun it really is a shame you aren't near a matalan. I swear their wide leg jeans are magic! If it's your thighs that are the issue they seem to be really roomy on me. And they have a little bit of stretch which is quite unusual in a wide leg.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/02/2025 11:10

I def have chunky thighs

MabelSpan · 14/02/2025 11:41

All this talk of dress sizes not fitting got me thinking, so I went back and checked when I was last this weight. It was Aug 2014 but whilst my weight was exactly the same, my measurements arent.
My hips/belly is an inch bigger, but the worst is what used to count as my waist, now my meno underbust to belly spread, all in one torso area, is 5 inches more!!!!!

This is depressingly disgusting. At times like this it really does suck to be a woman. The one thing I was always proud of, even when being fat, was I still had a waist and hourglass shape, a good10 inches between waist and hips/belly. Now that has shrunk to 8 and this meno belly spread just makes my middle look like I am the same shape as Mr Greedy from the Mr Men!😂😡

WorriedRelative · 14/02/2025 12:04

Sorry to hear you are having jeans woes. I hear you, mine are looking at bit baggy and unattractive so I picked up a pair a size smaller in Sainsbury's. Tried them on and they went up but were miles from fastening. 😫

More positively I got my first sub 85kg weight this morning! Things are on the move again, moving up to 10mg was the right move!
