How is everyone?

A big hug to everyone feeling poorly or disappointed and another big hug to everyone else just because. ❤️

I went to my BP review today and they’re really happy with me but want me to stay on my now very low dose of medication until im off Mounjaro as they think some of the wee ailments I have are either due to the Mounjaro or are low BP related. So I have an appt to go back in Mid September and I’m happy with that because I decided yesterday that I’ll be off Mounjaro by mid August.

It’s never been my aim to get into the ‘healthy’ range BMI because I know I’m muscular and I also have a big frame so once I have another 7kgs off I’ll start reducing my dose. I’ve no intention of going up to 12.5 or above because 10 is only just doable for me what with the exhaustion and the acid reflux.

Im really happy that I have a firm plan worked out in my head now. But more than that I’m absolutely over the moon today because blood test results I had last week show I’ve slashed my bad cholesterol and increased my good. It was only in early 2024 that I started getting dodgy results cholestrol wise, good cholesterol was decreasing, bad cholesterol had tipped out of normal into red and between that and once again becoming prediabetic I thought, this has to stop.

In just 8 months I now have great blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and fingers crossed that I can get off BP meds by the Autumn.

Im 67 now and for the first time in a very long time I actually believe that I may get to my grandads 99 when he died, or my birth fathers current 93 at least.

xxxxx

I've come to the conclusion I have no clothes. I don't want to spend money yet as I got a couple t shirts last couple months which are now too big

But I just want to say, I grabbed a couple cheap supermarket t shirts, just in the shop, picked up medium , get home and they bloody fit.. originally xxl . Made me feel good! . Didn't even try them on, just risked it..

Weepixie · 10/04/2025 11:01

I've come to the conclusion I have no clothes

Im not far off running around arse naked either and next week when I’ll be in the UK and can shop can’t come quick enough.

Im wearing my gym wear in the house as well as to the gym and I have 3 outfits I rotate when I go out.

WitchDancer · 10/04/2025 11:39

Morning all! I hope those that aren’t well feel better soon Flowers

Not much to report here apart from I’ve seen clients at work that I haven’t seen for some time and they’re all saying how good I’m looking. I’m struggling to see it myself, particularly now I’ve got the melted wax effect plus bingo wings I could probably take off in flight with if I moved my arms fast enough, but it is a great feeling.

I’m having clothes issues too, with much of what I sorted out from the loft either hanging off me or is looking very worn. I’m blowed if I’m buying any more though, so it’s a quick wash and dry and then wear the same thing again Grin

Another none scale victory was me walking from the office to church without my crutches or stick all by myself. I haven’t done that for far too many years, so I’m really happy about that.

Happy days, even if you lot have lost way more than me (3 stone down with 2 to go)!

@Weepixie if you do end up running around arse naked please do post a photo 🤣.

@WitchDancer well done on the NSV.

I had a "fuck it" (few) moments and have bought a load of new clothes. My DD pointed out to me that just because my clothes aren't actually falling off me doesn't mean that they aren't too big. And because I am in smaller sizes (though still big!) have got a much bigger choice and also been able to find some bargains. They should last me for the next 3 or 4 months plus I have smaller sizes that I haven't been able to get into for years but kept.

FurForksSake · 10/04/2025 18:59

I’ve just bought some new clothes, Matalan and Asda just in case I drop smaller.

I sorted my wardrobe out yesterday, I was ruthless. I am now quite low on clothes but I’ve an idea where the gaps are and I’ll slowly add some nice pieces to the cheap and cheerful.

I was going to put stuff on vinted but there’s 13 bin bags so it’s all off to the charity shop for people to get some bargains.

Motnight · 10/04/2025 19:00

@NippyNinjaCrab sorry that you have been so unwell.

FurForksSake · 10/04/2025 19:05

3lbs till I get my elephant penis! So exciting. Air conditioner is good though.

owlyboo · 10/04/2025 19:11

Hello all. Sorry to those feeling rotten. Hopefully you feel better soon. Went to the sweetest little animal rescue today. Saw some lovely animals! They’re all animals that are either to old/or another reason to be wanted elsewhere bless them. They all have really nice enclosures and seem really well looked after which makes a nice change!

home time tomorrow. Been a lovely few days away. Few touchy moments with ds which is always to be expected when he’s away from his routine but overall a great few days ☺️

@Weepixie that’s great news about results being lower

@morbidcuriosity great you got into m

i do get confused with sizes s m l xxl etx

prefer 10/12/14/16 etx

I’m still wearing most of my clothes - some a little baggy like the strappy tops and why brought new smaller sizes

but a lot of my stuff fits and isn’t huge on me

which I know doesn’t make huge sense if have lost over 5s

@WitchDancer great people noticed - and walking without crutches

totally get the bingo wings. May take a pic and show why I’m peeved

i would love an arm tuck and May seriously look into it

wonder what the cost is

I'm a guinea pig away from an 🐘 🍆 too @FurForksSake. I've still got a bit to lose afterwards and weight loss seems to be really slowing down now.

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/04/2025 23:23

Oh cute @owlyboo. We went to a goat sanctuary today and off to a conservation place tom so more animals

well done @poppym12 so close to the EP fame

Morning beautiful August ladies, I'm back at 11st 3lbs exactly again, it appears to be my stuck weight. I've not jabbed and now I'm wary to do it in case i feel shite, I might to 1.25mg this morning and see how I feel.

4pink1blue · 11/04/2025 09:34

2.5lbs off this week. 7.5 stone reached!

SW 19st
CW 11st 7

Been clothes shopping again 🙈and am now a definite size 12 or Small on the bottom. My top is still a14 as I have a really weird wide back 🤷‍♀️
Am starting to think about maintaining now which is a point i didn't really think I'd ever reach. I'd like to lose another 1.5 stone which I can hopefully do in the next 3 months and then I don't know whether to just stop or taper down? I feel like I've learned a lot about portion control and I've largely beaten my sweet cravings but I'm scared to ruin my hard work?

Glittermoonlight · 11/04/2025 10:17

Good morning!
Sorry you’re not feeling very well @NippyNinjaCrab sounds like a good idea having the 1.25mg dose & seeing how you do on it.
Fantastic weight loss @4pink1blue 7.5 stone overall is an incredible achievement.
Such cute animal photos @Blondeshavemorefun & @owlyboo.
I’ve lost 2lb in the last week after several weeks of 1/2 -1lb loses, not done anything different, weird how that happens. Although I have done lots of walking in the last week so perhaps it’s that. Not expecting or wanting big losses anymore since I’m approaching my goal.

SW 13st 11
CW 9st 1.6lbs
Total lost is 66lbs. My BMI has gone from 34.2 down to 22.6

My goal weight is 9st - but if I go under then that’s ok, don’t want to become too thin though ( not a problem I ever thought I’d have🤣) I’m a size 14 bottoms, still have lots of tummy fat, & still quite a bit over hung. Maybe that’s just middle age spread though!! But now a size 12 top. I’m very happy with these sizes.

So my plans are to very slowly titrate down the doses stopping totally the end of August, which is when I started, so that will be a whole year on MJ. I’ve already stopped counting calories the last 2 weeks, having meticulously counted them throughout, I’m just making sure I continue with smaller portions. I do need to up my exercise though to get in better shape, & perhaps that will change my body shape.
The thought of stopping MJ is a bit worrying, but I don’t want to be on it forever, & I’m determined to be able to go it alone. That’s why I think a very gradual coming off it makes more sense🤔. Hopefully anyone on this thread who comes off it can keep us all updated, since it’s a bit of a learning process for all of us at the moment!

4pink1blue · 11/04/2025 10:22

Just found a pic on my FB memories for today and I don't even look like me.....

weaselyeyes · 11/04/2025 10:35

Congrats @4pink1blue and @Glittermoonlight! Good losses there. I'm planning to try to stay on MJ for a good while after I reach goal, if I can. I'm not under any illusions that I've suddenly turned into a normal person around food and weight, though people with a less extensive history than mine will probably do very well. I think my next goal will be to stay at my goal weight, give or take a few pounds, for a year, and probably take MJ during this time - maybe a small dose or a bit sporadically.

1lb off for me this week. 9'4" now, so I'm creeping towards the 8 stone marker, which will be very exciting if I can get there.

Glittermoonlight · 11/04/2025 10:41

Congratulations on the 1lb loss this week @weaselyeyes - what’s your goal weight? Definitely the loses slow down I’ve found since I’ve been under 10st, which is to be expected.
Wow! @4pink1blue what a transformation between your 2 photos! You look like a different person! Absolutely gorgeous cat by the way😻- is he/she a Bengal?

weaselyeyes · 11/04/2025 10:57

I'm aiming for 8'7" - 8'10", with 9 as my eventual ceiling of doom which should not be crossed. I was originally hoping for somewhere in the 10s, not dreaming I could actually end up Not Fat, though I don't think there's any of me that doesn't look weirdly flabby. It would be nice if the remaining pounds could come off the weird flab, but I doubt they'll be that obliging! I think the main thing I'm hoping is to be able to apply my weight loss strategies and mentality to maintaining, so I'm trying not to get too much into an oh, I did it outlook, as I'll just relax and start gaining.

Oh they are definitely indoor only. They cost thousands and are as thick as the proverbial!! They have a catio which they are currently lounging in. They wouldn't survive 5 mins in the wilds of cornwall 😂
