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 🥰

Urgh, it's the Barbie Movie speech in action. To misquote -
Don't be fat. Be thin. But also don't be thinner than me. But don't be fat, lose weight. But lose weight the right way. But not too much.

Running total…

590 + 34 = 624 lbs 😍

Weekly update…

SW 28st 1lb
CW 24st 13lb
Total loss 44lb
Week 15 - still on 5mg and staying on another month as suits me.

Lost 3lb this week, but now I’m away for few days in nice hotel so will be having food I don’t normally eat, but that’s ok as I’m on holiday and when home business will resume, plus swimming and walking more here so I may do ok on scale on Monday??????

Have a good week everyone, love reading your updates and thank you for the new thread x

@lovealongbath put me down for 44lbs 💪🏻

Running total 624 + 44 = 668

well done everyone!

Happy to add my 44lbs on to the 'expensive death jabs' cumulative total....

Running total 740 + 44 = 784

Well done everyone 💪

I was surprised when my phone did the same. Felt like such an old girl 😂

👏37lbs! Congrats.

66lbs! Incredible 👏👏

40lbs from me

Running total 784 = 824

Well done missus!

55lbs! Over 4 stones. Wonderful!

🙌 for 48lbs off! Congrats!

Nope you haven’t at all. Awesome result and your maths is on point…👏

You are in your own race against yourself. And doing extremely well. Keep going!

Firstly congratulations on the 33lbs loss. Awesome!

Having grown up with a narcissistic Mother I can relate to all of the above. Sadly, we don’t all get the mother we deserve. I certainly didn’t. My DD does though and that is what matters to me. I cannot ever imagine saying even 1% of the things my Mother said to me growing up to my DD at similar ages. Having a mother who isn’t loving or wants to show you up at every opportunity is exhausting. Knowing they don’t like you or prefer a sibling is like carrying a shameful secret. If it wasn’t for some very kind and nurturing teachers I would most definitely had self-esteem issues but my ticket out of it all was to become self sufficient and resilient through studying hard and being successful in my Industry - which I was. It annoyed the bones of her that the favoured sibling was no where near as successful. That was good enough for me. You are good enough and I hope you know it. It sounds like your Mother was trying to provoke you into drama (which all toxic mothers love) and you did well not to bite back 👏

At least growing up with Mothers like ours we are better Mothers ourselves which is a superpower in itself. 💪🏻

well done!👏

Well done! I’ll add in your loss to the running total.

love this!

72 lbs is incredible! Well done!

44lbs! 👏👏

40lbs is just fab. well done!

New running total after we add in @BagQueenBee is 824+4=828lbs

we are collectively awesome!

Thank you for adding my loss to the total.
