Can you have some Greek yog or a protein shake?

it’s funny when it hits and you don’t know what to do with yourself!

my mum noticed my weight loss today :)

im wearing new jeans which are a size 10 and I could have got in a size 8. Which feels unspeakably weird. I’ve never been a size 8 ever. I weighed about ten pounds less 5/6 years ago and was definitely not less than a size 10.

Timetochange24 · 13/04/2025 09:04

@FurForksSake I had a big suppression moment when I was out for lunch yesterday. Dh ate most of it (luckily nothing goes to waste when he's around)

Well done on another week of losses and nsvs. I've been away staying with family who mostly connect over food so not looking forward to getting on the scales again.

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/04/2025 10:09

Yes I had a strawberry protein shake and a packet of crisps. Prob not the best food for the day but ……

I can’t imagine myself as a size 8 @FurForksSake

im thinking in the long run it wouldn’t be sustainable for me to be a 8/10 not on mj

as I would eat and grow /expand

people keep saying sizes are bigger now but if not finding that esp with thunder thighs here lol

hopefully won’t be a huge gain @Timetochange24

FurForksSake · 13/04/2025 19:47

Homemade pizza today, I managed a couple of pieces and now feel very sick! I’d normally eat a lot so it’s saved me but I feel a bit disappointed. Mine was goat cheese and red onion, boo hiss!

id saved myself for it so haven’t eaten much else today.

1SillySossij · 13/04/2025 20:18

I have not had a jab for 14 days due to covid and then going away. I am still getting high suppression I think, but unsure how much to dose myself. I was on 12.5 but think maybe I ought to come down a little, maybe 8 or 9?

4pink1blue · 13/04/2025 20:48

Help ladies! Had work today and I'm so embarrassed I had 3 funny turns where my vision blurred, I felt faint, my hr shot up to 160 and I had a hot flush. Has anyone experienced anything like this? It's not menopause related as I'm wearing my hrt patch - first thing i checked!! I'm most worried about the heart rate....that can't be good??

FurForksSake · 13/04/2025 21:18

Have you drunk enough? Could be dehydration. Don’t be afraid to seek medical attention if you think things aren’t right.

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/04/2025 21:22

@1SillySossij as only 2w you should be ok on 12.5 but if feel happier do 10

@4pink1blue I assume you have eaten and drank lots as been hot today - well where I am lol

maybe message supplier

4pink1blue · 13/04/2025 21:39

It was very hot at work to be honest. Maybe it wasn't enough fluid. Did scare me a bit. I'm going to have an early night and hopefully feel OK tomorrow. I'm supposed to be meeting one of my daughters at ikea tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that!

I’ve had a couple of turns like this recently and in fact I also had one this morning, at the gym. I’m assuming it’s low blood sugar and I’m talking to my son in law about it tomorrow, he’s a dr. I know Mounjaro and my better eating has slashed my blood sugar and I think Mounjaro is now having the odd adverse effect on it and it does now occasionally get too low. My morning was off today and I think there was a knock on effect, I woke up at 5.10, put the ac off and settled down again to watch Gogglebox before getting up for the day and before I knew it, it was 8.20 and I was due to leave for the gym at 9.15. I got someone to make me a quick breakfast of tea and toast when I’d normally have protein as well, then I took my tablets and off I went. I felt a big light headed a couple of times but it was the 3rd time that made me say I had to stop. My coach helped me to a chair and gave me dates and some electrolytes but if was 20 mins before I could leave. I usually have 2 hours of taking my time in the morning and I know it sets me up for the day so I’m putting today down to everything being wrong for me going to the gym.

But I did have one on Saturday as well after I’d been out for lunch with one of my daughters and after we’d gone round the shops and tried things on I suddenly felt drained and got jittery and dizzy. I had to go home.

I’m going to start doing blood sugar checks and carry a monitor with me to the gym and when I go out. I think my body is telling me it might very well be time to start coming of Mounjaro so I need to know what’s going on blood sugar wise during these episodes.

Of course I could be barking up the wrong tree but maybe what I’ve said could give you something to consider re blood sugar levels.

I hope today was a one off for you and that you’re feeling better now.

Weepixie · 13/04/2025 21:50

Just to add that I googled and came across this on the first hit.

Oh thank you @weepixie that sounds just like it! I was too scared to google 🫣

Just had a couple of boiled eggs and feeling a bit brighter now 😀 just watching big brother and then I'm off to bed!

weaselyeyes · 13/04/2025 22:26

I had one spell like that a few weeks in @4pink1blue, and I’m pretty sure it was low blood sugar. I’d hurried out without breakfast and was working outside and felt similar. I’ve been a bit more careful about ensuring I eat and drink regularly since, even if it’s just been small amounts. Hope you’re feeling ok now

Azuresky68 · 14/04/2025 09:48

Morning everyone. Well done on losses, NSV's and suppression. Sorry to anyone stuck, gained or not feeling on top form. Jab report. I jabbed 10 mg on Saturday. Been eating badly due to stress and worry about health investigations. I barely ate for two weeks and no dramatic weight loss. Stomach upset is slowly getting back to nearly normal. When I go home I have to go for more tests. At the moment I am back in Fuerteventura with my fella. My weight is just going up and down between 8 stone 12 and 9! Not got much suppression on 10 mg or side effects. Going to review it all when get back home. Was feeling great at 8 stone 12 then disappointed when going up to 9 stone. My goal is 8 stone 7 pounds but feeling good about getting into size 8's now (don't forget I am just under 5 foot, so size 8 is about right for my height compared to a much taller person who would look great in bigger sizes) At age 68 my arms and stomach are pretty wrinkly but something I will just have live with. Away for 10 days so I will see what the scales say when back home.

weaselyeyes · 14/04/2025 15:21

Glad you're feeling a bit better @Azuresky68 - hopefully that's a good sign. It's good to have an upper limit, and I'm hoping 9 stone will eventually be mine too, but try not to let yourself get too affected by whether you weigh a few pounds more or less. Think of how you feel in comparison to when you started. When you've had a history of weight gain and loss, I don't think you'll ever be someone whose weight just stays the same, there's bound to be some fluctuations. All you can do is keep on keeping on and seeing what works for you to stay broadly the same and feeling ok.

My arms, stomach, arse, thighs and neck are frankly horrific. I haven't even lost weight particularly quickly, I've just lost more than I've been able to for a while. I'm just old, though, and have put my poor skin through a lot over the years. I can't rewrite history, so I'm working on being grateful that I'm thinner, healthier and am better clothed at least! There's always the very remote chance it might improve a little over the years, but I'm still better off even if it doesn't. I've no regrets about the weight loss and it's no good at this stage having them about the previous weight gain.

My daughter's been home for Easter and she eventually noticed the MJ in the fridge, so I had to fess up. It was a relief as I hadn't liked feeling deceitful by omission, and she was obviously keen to say she'd noticed me looking 'healthier' - the usual euphemism for thinner. So that's all good, but I wasn't fearful of her reaction - mainly fearful of my own, as it's brought up lots of very uncomfortable feelings I prefer to keep buried. Nothing remarkable, just the usual, but I look forward to burying them successfully again 😀

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/04/2025 16:08

@weaselyeyes and @Azuresky68 have awful wrinkly skin esp arms and legs. Can literally pull it up to make smooth 🙀😢

glad feeling a bit better @Azuresky68 and a 4lb up and down doesn’t sound bad

maybe when better to increase from 10

glad dd was supportive

Evening! Hope people have had good days.

does anyone get sore skin as a side effect? If so are there any solutions? It’s not injection site just randomly on my arm it feels burnt.

off work with the children for the next two days; I’m really noticing a difference this holidays as when I have time I want to be being active with them. I’m hoping we can get a decent walk in the next two days and then each day over the long weekend. I also have got chat gpt to put me together a training programme!

Hi @FurForksSake that is so strange re your skin burning. I had very similar on my hand and arm. To the point where I was looking for cuts and bruises. Just as I got to the point of thinking that I should see someone medical about it, it disappeared. I didn't find any solutions.

Enjoy your time with the kids 😃

Azuresky68 · 15/04/2025 10:18

Good morning! Just seen a FB group set up for people to buy and sell clothes after losing weight. You can link to Vinted or wherever you sell. Going to try selling my size 12 and 14's very cheaply on Vinted. I need a wardrobe clear out!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1018500936316971/?ref=share

Hi everyone just caught up on everything. I don’t post very often but love hearing about how everyone’s getting on. I’m nearly at my elephants penis having now lost 4 stone 3 I think it’s a pound to go maybe?
I’m currently weighing at 10 stone 1 and I’m a size 10 (maybe more a 12 on top large norks).
I have a dilemma…. At the start of all this my goal was to get back in a bikini for my hols. I haven’t worn one since before ds2 was born so 12 years.
I have so much admiration for the curvier women on the beach that just go for it but I have zero self confidence!
I’m going away in May and I really want to but by tummy looks awful despite being slimmer. I do t have stretch marks but my skin isn’t great after four pregnancies and loosing the weight.

Do I just slap a bit of tan on (I think brown wobbles look better than pasty white) grit my teeth and do it or sweat my tits off in a cossie again?! 😆🙈

or maybe a tankini?

i think maybe the problem is my brain hasn’t caught up with body yet too. I don’t see myself as slimmer….

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/04/2025 17:59

@troppibambini6 you went they penis about in a lbs time !!😂

tankini

that’s what I wear. So when walking about my belly is covered up

Morning all

Weigh in this morning - an elephant heart and a guinea pig! Not as impressive as an elephant penis but I’ll take that Grin

Azuresky68 · 16/04/2025 10:49

@troppibambini6 well done on weight loss! Bit boring of me but I got black bikini top, bottoms and tankini top all in same range from Matalan then I can mix and match with nice coverups. Defnitely prefer my tummy brown (unfortunately I my case it's very wrinkly)
