Morning all.
Week 19 weigh in - age 58 and on HRT.
SW 12-2
CW 9- 8
GW 9-7 = 9st 3lb -9st 11lb fluctuation allowing myself for maintenance, though I do want to see the scales actually hit 9st 7lb for psychological reasons I suppose.
Current dose 5mg - will increase /decrease to keep within boundary.
First week of maintenance and put half a pound on. I know I can comfortably go a couple of pounds under or over so not worried and expect maintenance to be a bit of a balancing act. I have increased my calories by approx 100 a day to 1500, must be getting more used to MJ as would have struggled to eat this much a few weeks ago.
Can’t remember who recommended it but thank you for the recommendation of Inulin, it has definitely helped.
Also thanks to @YummyCookie I love the barbells marshmallow protein bars, definitely my new favourite.
Congrats on your 3 stone @Carridoesntlivehereanymore and nearly 3 stone loss @flowerlady2.
And congrats on your 1 stone loss @letshavetea nearly 50% of the way there.
Was listening to a podcast this week where they were discussing why some people say taking MJ / Ozempic etc cheating. We are in a nice bubble of supportive people on here but you only have to look at the comments on social media to see criticism.
Their theory was for those who call MJ users cheats, they must feel we are in a Competition with them as otherwise whowould we be cheating? They don’t like us getting what they perceive as an unfair advantage. We have upset the natural order of things where they can have moral superiority of our inability to lose weight.
I have lost some skin tags which I think is due to the reduction in sugar intake. My only gripe is my wrinkly backside and crepe like upper arms, worth it though for the weight loss. Continuing to weight train so hoping that will help but not sure as just seems to be loose skin from my previously very plump derrière.
