@Glittermoonlight I had to work out what that was

5lbs. So close to goal !

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/03/2025 13:22

It did @FurForksSake but I honestly still don’t really see it. Yes I know I’ve lost weight but I don’t see it as much as on me 🙀😛

Duh. Don't know how I missed the pics. You look great @eeeeeeeee

@Motnight wow, glad your dd is okay although badly hurt. Shame on the driver. You must have been a wreck!

Well done @Glittermoonlight and how careless in losing a penis and ribs. Hoping you manage to banish a chihuahua very soon. I was initially thinking to move to oushk for maintenance but think I'll do it myself. Titrate slowly down.

Glittermoonlight · 19/03/2025 13:40

Thank you!
@Blondeshavemorefun so much more fun thinking about weight loss this way!🤣
Being near to my goal is just crazy! Didn’t really think I’d ever achieve it to be honest.
I’ll end up a very happy size 14 bottoms & a 12 top.
We’ve all come so far since last August. We should all be very proud of ourselves!

@Glittermoonlight @FlappingMadly @Blondeshavemorefun thank you for the lovely comments!!

I think it was me that mentioned body composition, I did check this via my scales but scales aren't that accurate. My work medical has a proper machine for doing it so I'm looking forward to that!

I have been checking my body composition too! I don’t have access to a proper machine.

I have Withings home scales, and my personal trainer used callipers on me. I see what you mean about accuracy. In the recent pic I posted my scales measured 27% and my gym measured 29%. That’s much higher than I thought - I’d love to get that down to 22-24%.

I am still using my Withings scales to monitor my trend lines even if the reading isn’t perfectly accurate.

@eeeeeeeee I must echo all the praise for your photos! This is a bit niche, but your hands look so much less podgy and more graceful, I'm very admiring! My hands are naturally on the small and podgy side whatever my weight, so I really admire people with more slender fingers 😀

poppym12 · 19/03/2025 14:24

I went into town this morning to have a browse of the clothes shops. There aren't many (it's a crap town!) but I came home with nothing. It's all big prints, bright colours and bloody leopard print. I hated everything.

I've decided that if when I get to a weight and size I'm happy with (that I feel I can maintain), I'm going to Copenhagen to treat myself. A lot of my clothes are Scandinavian brands as they tend to shy away from bright colours and bold prints but obviously I'll need new ones when I shrink more.

I wore a straight denim skirt today, size 16, and it's starting to feel baggy. I don't think I kept any clothes below a size 16 on the last but one house move.

This is the best compliment, thank you!

I feel like hands, feet and neck are those areas where weight gain silently creeps up on you. I didn’t even notice how podgy they became until I lost weight!

Even my Apple Watch more nicely, I’m using the same one but it looks a different size before and after!

Motnight · 19/03/2025 15:27

Had to come back on this thread re a NSV. Had a waterproof m and s jacket which I could get on but couldn't do up in August. It slowly got roomier and roomier until it looked ridiculous. Bought the same style at lunchtime but 4 sizes smaller and it fits perfectly 😲.

I think that I am probably the biggest person on this thread so not giving details of what sizes I am talking about but I am very pleased 😀

qotsa · 19/03/2025 15:30

Some brilliant victories on here - of all kinds. 🙌🏻 has anyone been asked for more photos from medexpress? I’ve heard about them asking at the six month point. I have now accrued £520 from referrals 😮 in ten days. I’m flabbergasted. Trouble is I ordered one more pen when they first started arriving last week even though I didn’t really want one. Now I have another £400 sat there. I wish they were number/letter type codes and I could dish them out here. Really don’t want to waste them. I have 3 full pens in my fridge though and think I’ll be pretty near a good BMI at that point as it’s 15 weeks worth. I guess I’ll just order a couple of tens and see what happens. That’s why I’m asking about photos though, as much longer and I don’t think they’ll send me any more iyswim. Well done everyone. Don’t want to sound ungrateful for all these referrals either just don’t want to waste them and wish they had come months ago when I started 😆🤣 honestly does feel like some sort of glitch tbh.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/03/2025 15:30

Wow @Motnight that is a NSV to be proud of !!!

OP posts:
eeeeeeeee · 19/03/2025 15:47

@Motnight that’s amazing!

@qotsa MedExpress have a sharp BMI cut off & I anticipated them cutting me off.

To work around that, whilst my BMI was higher in 2024, I used to order new pens from them as soon as they emailed a reminder. I ended up with a 4 month stockpile. I wanted to use the extra pens to taper down instead of stopping instantly.

When they asked me for a 6 month update in 2025, they didn’t ask for photos but I did make them aware of my current weight & BMI (I hadn’t placed an order with them for 10 weeks due to my stockpile so they didn’t have updated stats). They basically said well done but they can no longer prescribe to me! They did recommend to stop using it immediately too.

qotsa · 19/03/2025 16:00

@eeeeeeeee thanks for that info 👌🏽 when they asked you for a six month update do you remember what BMI you were at that point? I guess I will order and use up my credit - but don’t want to waste any medication - but also don’t want to waste any credit 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s a predicament I never thought I’d have 😆

eeeeeeeee · 19/03/2025 16:17

@qotsa haha it’s a good problem to have!

I just double checked my emails. In January they contacted me about the 6 month update, which is a quick survey on their website about lifestyle changes and side effects.

Then in February I emailed them, to inform them of my weight & BMI (22.5). It was at that point they said they will stop prescribing. Here is the response from them. I think their cut off is 23.5.

eeeeeeeee · 19/03/2025 16:22

@qotsa also I know what you mean about wasting the medication.

Personally I stopped taking MJ in January and gained a bit of weight, so decided to just use what was left of my stockpile.

I would say to order different doses so you have options/flexibility in the future :)

Weepixie · 19/03/2025 16:35

My work medical has a proper machine for doing it so I'm looking forward to that!

Im going to have one done as well as just as soon as I’m at my target which is higher than my upper BMI but I’m very muscly and I want to see how much I have, as well as my visceral fat.

qotsa · 19/03/2025 17:29

Thanks so much for all that @eeeeeeeee. It is a great problem to have and also a bit strange. I can only guess there is an influx of people who have stumbled across my shared code from months ago or it’s been shared in a group chat 😆 I’ll have a good think about what strength to order. Like I say I’m not really bothered about going down slowly as it leaves the body gradually anyway and as it makes me feel so knackered I don’t want to be on it longer than necessary. Thanks again.

eeeeeeeee · 19/03/2025 17:38

@qotsa that’s the annoying thing about medexpress - they don’t really stock anything else to spend your credit on! I think I picked up some multivitamins but that didn’t make much of a dent😄

We've got someone from the council coming in to do heart health checks in a few weeks, and for once I'm actually looking forward to getting on the scales! I hope they've got the fancy ones - that will be a good guide as to whether I should keep going for a lower target.

I had my maintenance call with Oushk today. Since I booked it I've decided to adjust my target another half stone down so it felt a wee bit early to have that chat but still a huge milestone. My goal is to start working down the doses when my next pen runs out at the start of May and hopefully go cold turkey late July when we go on holiday.

@Motnight what a huge NSV - that must feel so good.

PoemsForTea · 19/03/2025 18:38

Am I the only one that can't see eeeeee's photos? I scrolled further than my birth year on a form 😂

FurForksSake · 19/03/2025 18:56

@PoemsForTea I can’t either and also scrolled a long way!
