March 2025 starters thread 2

[TheSpoonyNavyReader]

Welcome to thread 2 never thought we would be posting so much that we have to start a new thread.

I am still hovering around 12 and a half stone. I have been absolutely freezing to the point I have a duvet on the sofa.

I have had one NSV so far I can zip up my boots and they do not feel tight anymore.

Weight in day! week 1
SW 16 stone 11
CW 16 stone 3
loss 8 pounds

Happy with that.. probably also because of 1.5 days of diahorrea in my first week.

2nd injection this afternoon. Suppression has worn off so looking forward to feeling the effects again

Brilliant, well done 👏

yes i bought syringes with a needle from amazon and used one of those. was a bit daunting as the needle looked much bigger than the one on the pen but it was fine, didn't feel a thing.

This is a very real goal! Had a clear view down my body in the bath this week for the first time in two years!

Weigh in week 4
SW 194 lb
CW 185.6 lb
GW 150 ish

I was super disappointed last week as I stayed the same but 3.4 lb down this week - I definitely need to train my brain that this isn't linear!!!
Have a 5mg pen but that feels like a big jump so went 3.75mg and will see how I go on that this week

I feel a bit deflated today. I have not lost this week (end of week 3/start of week 4). I have lost and kept off 8lb and I know that’s amazing, it’s just that it’s an awful lot of money to not lose anything.

I guess as I write this I am realising there was a time when I would have given anything to have lost 8lb.

im thinking of putting the scales away for a while, weighing less often, maybe once a month. I find the scales demotivating at times.

Ok, putting them in the cupboard and setting a reminder in my calendar to weigh again in 2 weeks. Not sure I can do a whole month.

I had the same on week 3 -no idea why but the scales didn't budge - just done week 4 and over 3lb off this week - don't lose heart!!! Xxx

Well end of month 1,
SW 260 lb
CW 243 lb so 17lb lost so far.

Onwards..jabbed with 5mg pen this morning as I didnt feel much suppression last week.

Oh @mumofmanydaughterofone that’s so true and in my head I know weight loss is not linear but maybe need a reminder sometimes.

ok, trying not to feel so disappointed, I am eating so much better, drinking so much more water and barely touch alcohol anymore. My weight is going down and I will reach my goal.

like you I’m thinking of moving to 3.75 on Sunday, maybe that will help.

I completely understand this, I'd be disappointed too especially given the change in my eating snd drinking habits! Sometimes, weight liss has a delayed effect for a variety of reasons. It will come off!

@popdepop that's bloody amazing well done!

I'm wk 2 day 5 or 6 (jabbed Sunday p.m.) I do feel the effects wearing off a bit, abd I've started to look around for food. Not succumbed yet! I don't think it's a bad thing tbh, to practice using will power.

Thank you! I has this too yesterday and this morning, but looking forward to injection today again. Got by on willpower. Drink plenty of water. Looking forward to the drug building up in my system

Morning all, my first pen is arriving today. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the needle, I’ve seen loads of people say it’s a tiny needle and you barely feel it, is that true? Can I numb the area first with an ice pack? 🤣

I just bought new scales that have an app so you can easily track your weight. My starting weight is 19st 12lbs 😣 and I’m determined to lose a good chunk of that before our holiday in Tenerife in August. The heat, and walking in heat will be hell at my current weight.

Week 3 weigh in and 1lb off which I'm a bit disappointed with given the bigger losses the previous weeks. But I'm trying to remind myself that the scales are going down and the weight loss had to slow at some point.

SW: 14st
CW: 13st 3lbs
TW: under 11st

Total loss: 11lbs in 3 weeks

Week 1 weigh in and I’ve lost -12lbs!

I will be taking my 2nd jab later, I’ve still got suppression and no food noise. Had no side effects this first week, let’s see how week 2 goes.

Away for a long weekend, and zero Prosecco packed (unheard of) as I just don’t feel like drinking any at all!

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

@AintNobodyHereButUsChickens its so quick and painless that the numbing will take longer and hurt more

I didn't feel the needle, I was worried I hadn't managed to inject myself at all but I am feeling the effects so I must have.

Well done to everyone with their losses today, and keep the faith those that haven’t: sounds like Week 3 might be a bit of a plateau week and then it shifts again after that, I will find out on Wednesday!

What electrolytes are everyone taking, the kind you just dissolve into your water bottle, I have been quite tired this week and after watching the video shared by one of you lovely lot by that Doctor on YouTube I realised it’s probably because I’m not getting my electrolytes, I found some in my cupboard but they’re out of date and grapefruit flavour and, quite frankly, taste rank! So any suggestions welcome please! Xxx

W2 D4 for me today. Have been weighing daily and slightly disappointed that I’m not losing as much this week - the week isn’t over yet but I lost 6.6lbs last week and think I’ll probably lose 1-2lbs max this week the rate I’m going. Really trying to be down on it as I know fast weight loss isn’t sustainable. It’s Mother’s Dat on Sunday and we’re going out so will be having a little treat and refuse to feel guilty about it! I’ve worked my a*rse to hit 10K steps a day, eating my calories (often under my target but I’m just not hungry enough), hitting my protein target, running twice a week and doing strength training twice a week.

And, I only went and got into a pair of size 14 jeans yesterday! Ordered them on impulse thinking they’d be something to aim towards, but they only fit. Yes, they’re tight at the waist, but they don’t look too tight to anyone else. They’re a mom fit so definitely a looser style of jean (no way would I get on a size 14 skinny yet!). I also ordered some new leggings and exercise clothes in size 14, when usually I’m a 16, and they fit great! So definitely seeing some results!

I take a berocca every morning

8lbs is so good - and it will get going again - remember we’re all on the low doses, so much more to go!

Amazing loss! X

Week 3 weigh in and -3lbs

Age 40
Height 5ft 7
SW 18st 7lb
CW 17st 10lb

Total loss for 3 weeks - 11lb

Happy with loss however came at a price this week. Been awful with a really heavy period, constipation, wind pains and now I have a cold. Barely eating which is not the way I want to lose. Haven't been able to exercise this week.

Going to delay my jab for a couple of days and may do 2 x half doses just to give my body a break.

4th jab for me today and actually feeling really good! I have so much more energy in the day but the tiredness hits around 9pm, I’m sleeping much better though! 11 lb loss in the 3 weeks including an awful heavy period where I would normally gain 6-7 lbs so really happy with my loss so far. I’ve told no one I’m doing this and so far no one has noticed 😂
sw 14st 3lb
cw13st 6lb
gw 11st

Hi all, I took my 2nd jab yesterday,
Sw 103.5 kilos
Cw 103 kilos
A bit disappointed but trying not to be, no real side effects, great suppression for me I've really not eaten much and I did actually loose 1.4 kilos between ordering the injection and taking my first dose over the 4 days.
