@Arraminta mine does too! Might not 'have' to but it's not going to do any harm and I think is probably better in the summer as my house gets so warm. It just quietly hides at the back of the fridge minding it's own business 😂

You can put it in your hold luggage wrapped up in bubble wrap and placed inside a Tupperware container as the hold is generally a cold part of the aircraft. Or you can just carry it in your handbag. It’s what I’ve done on my current trip to the UK from the Middle East and it was fine.

@Blondeshavemorefununfortunately as you get closer to target sts’s are bound to come up more. But hopefully you’ll a woosh on the next one. That’s what I usually got.

Hope you feel better soon @Timetochange24

well done on maintenance @Arramintahave a lovely holiday!

sorry for the sts @weaselyeyesleast it wasn’t a gain! You’ll have your mojo back soon.

@Azuresky68glad you had a nice holiday, hope the appointments go okay! looking lovely as always!

well done @4pink1bluewow 8 stone is insane!!

I maintained again this week. First week on 7.5 still seems to be going well going down the doses every couple of weeks. Hasn’t been a huge jump in appetite. Can definitely feel I have more of an appetite but manageable and ‘normal’ feels nice to have maintained for 7 weeks now (well technically I’ve lost a couple of pounds but mainly maintained!) obviously the big test will be when I’m completely off MJ but still!

This is true @owlyboo- I am 5lbs from being a healthy weight. Tho very top end

I want ideally to lose another 5 on top so 10lbs in all

then to have a strop as I won’t prob fit into a size 12 then 😂

can’t imagine 10lbs is going to make me drop 2 sizes

i am still in 16 in jeans /trousers

i have a 14 found hidden in a drawer. Won’t go over my thunder thighs yet 🙀😢

Wow @Blondeshavemorefundidnt realise you were that close now! Well done! 👏 I had loads of sts during my last 10 pounds. But then did have a few 3lb losses as well! So hopefully will also do that for you. But however long it takes that’s AMAZING where you’re at!!

if you don’t reach a 12 by then you can always reassess but I dropped sizes quickly at the end. Down to a 12 and now down to a really comfortable size 10 every 10 I’ve brought recently has fit without being snug at all. And that was only about 7lbs between 12 and 10. So fingers crossed!!

Well May still take me 3mths if a lb a week and odd week sts.

I said I wanted to be at goal by June I think

but that’s only a month away so ……

thanks @owlyboo 😘😘

People keep saying to me stop losing weight now. I’ve lost too much 🙄

I disagree as

1. bmi is not in healthy range yet

2. they are similar size to me when I began and wonder if jealousy

3. not in size 12

4. I say I’m in a 16 bottoms and people disbelieve me - why would I lie lol

can't wait to get into a 12 - if ever !

but also think it’s coz I was a right fat fuck so looked huge so compared to now I do look slim

I look at me in past pics 🙀🙀😳😳 - yet at the time yet I knew I was overweight - but wasn’t prepared to do anything about it - but didn’t think I looked that bad

I obviously did 🙀😢

It’s self preservation in the run up to wakening up one day and the time being right to change things. ❤️

Another lb off this week taking me to -6st7lbs/-89lbs/-40kg 🙌🏼 happy with that as, like others have mentioned, there have been lots of treats over Easter. Last year I’d have scoffed an egg a day and wouldn’t have had anything left - this year I’ve sorted all of the chocolate into a basket and have just been taking a little piece when I fancy it.

Weigh ins: -7, -5, -3, -2, -5, -5, -1, -3, -1, -4, -1, -4, -2, -5, -0, -2, -1, -2, -3, -2, -1, -3, -1, -3, -2, -2, -2, -2, -3, -1, -4, -4, +2, -2, -1, -1 ✨

@Blondeshavemorefun fantastic work on getting so near to your goal! Are you going to post a progress photo soon? I was the same as you that I thought I looked fine but now when I see the photos I cringe 😬 Have a great week 👍😊

@SilverSprings510 Amazing and well done!

Another fabulous loss...you are doing so well!

@owlyboo 7 weeks on maintenance is incredible. How confident are you about maintaining? Are you going to stop jabbing at some point? I can't remember what your BMI goal was? I know it's not the best indicator but it gave me a target. I was a pound away from top of healthy BMI at 8 stone 12 but have had 2 holidays and stress ate in between due to health worries and family upsets (health co cerns hopefully resolved by next week) I am so scared that I will go back up. Just I injected 10 mg this morning and will get weighed next Friday. The highest I went to was 12.5 mg. Really need to get back on healthy eating and calorie counting but finding it hard!

I don't know if I could have done the weight loss without this group. Just wondering how many of the original members are still on the journey/reached their goal? I appreciate people have busy lives and also that some people read the posts and only check in occaissionally which is completely understandable. Been such a great help and thanks to everyone who is still with us xx

I must confess I'm genuinely nervous of stopping the jabs, or even just dropping down from 7.5mg to 5mg as a maintenance dose. I have maintained well for the last 7 weeks on 7.5mg, but am definitely not eating as healthily as I was when actively losing.

Chocolate and some junk food has crept back in, which was always my downfall before. But not sure if this is because I know I'm now slim, so think it's okay to eat it?

My biggest fear is that I stop the jabs, start to gain weight but aren't allowed back on the jab because my BMI isn't high enough.

Well done @SilverSprings510. You have had such amazing constant losses each week

@Azuresky68 maybe soon. I don’t really look any diff from my last one I posted Tbh. Tho I am in another pair of @NippyNinjaCrabsize 16 skinny jeans. Still not sure of skinny style as make my legs look fat. But I’m in them and wasn’t in feb so a bonus 😄

I feel the same. Lots joined in aug. But not many post now. Maybe as they are at goal - or maybe they stopped as couldn’t afford it - or couldnt handle side effects

love to our auggies 💖

Congratulations everyone who has lost this week, sorry for those who sts, think it happens more as we get closer to goal.
I have now reached my goal weight, am just under 9st, but I’d like to lose 2 more pounds which will mean a 5st total loss.
Yesterday I have dropped my dose to 7.5mg and will stay on that for 5 weeks. Then my plan is to drop to 5mg after that, then perhaps 3.75, then 2.5mg. So am definitely feeling I’m entering the maintenance phase. But am going to titrate down very slowly I think.
Absolutely love hearing about how others are approaching this, it’s all so new to all of us. I do want to go it alone at some point & stop taking MJ.
Also cannot believe I’ve been on MJ for just over 8 months! I love being slimmer & seeing friends/family reactions who haven’t seen me for a while!
I love being part of the August group- we are by far the friendliest & most supportive out of all the groups. Sorry I don’t post more often, but I do enjoy reading everyone’s posts.
Lovely photo @Blondeshavemorefun - you’re looking so slim! I’ve never got to the very small sizes that some people have got to, still wearing 14 bottoms & 12 tops. Still got stubborn tummy fat. Plus I can’t stand clothes being too tight on me. But compared to the 20s & 22s I was wearing I am so much happier!

Well done @Glittermoonlight at goal weight 🌟🌟

Morning all! I’m the slow coach in the group so I’m still going to be loosing weight as you’re all maintaining. Do I mind? A little bit, however I’m still a lot skinnier than I was and the effect it’s had on my health is amazing.

This week I’ve been making the effort to have a walk around the block at lunchtime. It’s a massive thing for me as I am disabled, so I’m really pleased that I can do it by myself without any mobility aids. Who knows, I might actually do the Remembrance Parade without having to use my mobility scooter this year - it’s certainly something to aim for.

I need to have a rummage through my stored clothes again as what I’m wearing is beginning to look massive again. Plus I put on some trousers the other day and they dropped down again I can’t believe I’m actually having that problem!

Have a good weekend all!

It's so good to see so many at goal/nearing goal 🎉 i still have over a stone to go to a healthy BMI so not going anywhere soon 😭

Hi everybody!

Hope you are all well and still losing or maintaining.
I dont have as much time to post now its full steam ahead in the garden, but I do try to have a quick read through every now and then. So keep on keeping on August bunch! I am cheering you on from afar!

@Blondeshavemorefun Love your new pic! You look so much smaller now! Well done you.

I am only just over half way to my ultimate goal and I have kind of stopped thinking about being on MJ. I do my jab and forget about it. I guess the novelty has worn off and its just part of normal life now.

I am another who is ages away from goal so I’ll certainly be here a while longer! I will keep updating how I’m getting on after this pen too, as I’m not ordering another.

Another who's got a long way to go. Just plodding along but still in a massively better place than when I started so just focusing on continuing to plod!

Thinking about goal weight and could do with opinions? What size (not weight!) do you consider healthy? According to BMI i am still 17lbs overweight but i am a comfortable size 12. Is 12 not healthy? My goal at the start was to be a 12-14 but I did think that would be a healthy BMI?? I'm so confused 😕 Is a size 8/10 healthy? Not sure I'd suit being that small? What's your thoughts? What are you aiming for?

Pic is my size 14 jeans yesterday. Healthy right?? Apparently not - thanks BMI for making me feel as fat as I was back in August!
