Welcome to thread 9 to fellow MN weight loss friends old and new!

Feel free to lurk or post, absolutely no judgement here, just support and encouragement as we head towards Easter Egg season, celebrate NSV’s, weight loss milestones and admire our new Summer Wardrobes ❤️

I’m on W21 D1 and on my first 7.5mg pen
F in my early 50’s
H 5’ 5.5”
SW 13st 11lb
CW 11st 0.8lbs
GW 10st (maybe 9st 7lb if I can)
Total loss so far 38.2lbs

Recommend the Shotsy app to monitor the amount of MJ in the system and pleasing graphs to look at…plus the MeThreeSixty body scan app to monitor inch loss for the weeks where weight loss is slow but you might have lost body fat etc. Both are free.
Feel free to swap recipes that might inspire anyone in a food rut, tips for side effects, exercise tips, tips for titrating up or down and we love a beauty/ style chat too 🥰

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar - 30.8

@Della82 -39lbs

love this 💪

I feel like I've said for years if only there was a magic button I could press that would stop me wanting the chocolate... I'll really enjoy those mini eggs at some point but it's so freeing not needing and craving them.

@PinkArt 45 for me as of an unofficial mid week weigh in this morning.

New running total 217lbs

@arglefraster38lb (I work in Kg so this number means nothing to me!!)

running total 217 + 38 =255

A mere 24lbs for me

SW - 10 stone 7
CW - 8 stone 11
target - was 8 stone 7 but maybe a bit lower. Depending on the deflated balloon sitch

feeling a bit flat today as my weight is fluctuating and not getting me any closer to my healthy BMI goal. I’ve also lost a teeny amount compared to most of you superstars!

'Mere', but your starting weight is my incredibly optimistic goal weight!

Comparison is the thief of joy.
My BMI is still mid 40s I have a very very long way to go.
Congratulations on your healthy weightloss.

New running total including your fab loss is 255+ 24. =279

👏

Your CW is the stuff of dreams! You’ve 4lbs to go. Keep going, it’s a brilliant result!

👏👏👏

💪👏👏👏 awesome!

As of this morning, I’ve lost 37lbs!

New running total
279+37 =316

(my phone just did the =316 by itself as I typed! 😱)

Thanks for the lovely new thread @Mounjaropen !

@Mounjaropen thanks for the new thread, again!!

I’m down 66lb (my pasta weight dropped off, phew 😂)

316 + 66 = 382

we’re all smashing this!!

Adding my 35lbs lost to the running total!

382 + 35lbs = 417

Adding my 55lbs

417 + 55 =472

Adding my 48

472+48=520

I fear I’m going to mess this up but

37 off so far

520+37=557

🥳🥳🥳 to all of us, how fabulous!

Thanks to all who commented. I am very very short and still overweight. But I am happy with my journey - when I don’t compare myself to others!! And when my scales don’t move in the right direction 🙈😂

557+33 = 590

Congrats to all!

I had a weight loss bingo card in my head at Sunday lunch at my (toxic) mother's house with her (toxic) female friends:

1. Why don't you want mozzarella on your salad? Fat isn't the enemy, sugar is (thanks for the nutrition advice 🙄)
2. Why haven't you eaten everything on your plate?
3. You've eaten too little, you will make yourself ill
4. Why are you on a diet? (This was particularly rich, as she always looks me up and down critically whenever she sees me, and I have been considered horrendously huge in her eyes for years - she is seriously fat phobic)
5. If you lose too much weight, you will be so gaunt in the face.

And all the while not knowing I am on the expensive death jabs, can you imagine the comments if she did?!

They then segued into a long conversation about an absent 'friend' who had had noro and lost half a stone - she looked 'so much better'. My mother never fails to mention how thin she herself got when she had cancer - -calls it 'the best diet ever'.

I left as soon as I could, greyrocking as much as I could but then got a text asking if I 'was all right as I didn't seem myself'.

No wonder I have had issues with food all my life...
