Moun-June-ers 2024 - New Wardrobes, New Lives and Plodding into Maintenance

[IReallyNeedThisToWork]

New thread as the old one is full. Can’t believe so many of us are still here!!

Thanks for the new thread @IReallyNeedThisToWork
Still here!!
46 weeks today… 5st 7lb down
Only 7lb left to goal weight 🤯

@Time4changeagain 7lb?!😱 Amazing! What are your plans once you get there?

@IReallyNeedThisToWork
I’ve only just caught up on the last thread, you’re doing amazing too! So is everyone else 😃

Im thinking of trying cold turkey to begin with. I’ve still got 3 pens in the fridge because I stocked up at the beginning when maintenance wasn’t a thing. Im actually scared about not buying any more pens just Incase I get cut off or told that I can only have a 2.5mg pen because I haven’t ordered for a few months. I will be 10st bmi 22.6 after the 7lb but don’t think I could go lower without looking ill. My skin is looking a little bit too saggy as it is 😩😭

Hasn’t time flown. Can hardly believe it’s not far off a year since I started. My weight loss has been slow but I’ve stuck at 5 mg and happy with way things have gone. I’m an old bird(71) and was worried about losing too much too quickly. Just into a healthy bmi and loving buying and wearing new clothes.
Not sure of how I’m moving on. At the moment I’m planning on reducing dose and stretching out the days between jabs. Part of me thinks if I can afford it I’ll just continue once I hit my ideal weight and try and maintain.
Lovely to read how well everyone is doing.

Thank you for the new thread. I hope this will be my maintenance thread. I do want to get to 10 stone though. It will have to be cold Turkey also.

Week 40 10.11
Week 41 10.11
Week 42 10.9

2lbs this week, jabbing every 2 weeks.

I think I am going to set myself a critical mass. For example 10 .4 and no matter what I will do meal replacement shakes. I can't let myself be pushing 16 stone again. I just can't.

It has gone so quickly. Where has the time gone?

I wonder how @callmejudith and others maintenance is going.

Hi everyone!
I’m still here, hovering around bmi 25 as the Easter holidays have been harder to stick to plan! I’ve put on maybe 3lb but I’m confident it’ll be off again next week.

I am absolutely loving being able to buy things in a S or a 10. My bra size has gone from something like a. 40G to a 32F!

What is great is still being here, chipping away, not feeling disheartened when the scales wobble because that does happen. So rather than in my SW days where an “undeserved gain” would make me think fuck it and binge, I just don’t.

Hello friends! @coffeandteav thanks for checking in.

I’m 4 months off MJ and have put on half a stone - I’m blaming the six nations for putting my weekends out of whack. Still in my skinny clothes but waists are a bit tight so I am massively back on it. Have a wedding in July which is my target.

Ive looked at reordering MJ a couple of times at particularly low points but gave myself a talking to as I know I don’t need it. In hindsight though I wish I’d done a couple more pens and microdosed just to maintain a bit longer.

how are you all doing?

Found you! Happy Easter everyone!

still at 11st, still on just under 10mgs.

think I’m a size 12.

So looking forward to a skinny summer!

I’m hovering at the 12 Stone mark and ideally would like to be at 11 Stone. I’ve been on 10mg for a few months. Not sure whether to increase to 12.5mg. Did many others go from 10 to 12.5 and if so, how was your experience?

Hello new thread!

I hit the 5 stone off mark last week - but still have about 2.5 stone to go to goal weight. Ita definitely slowing so won't hit that until Christmas but I'm fine with that

I'm developing an odd habit of scouring Vinted for some of my favourite clothes but in smaller sizes. Not sure if that's a good idea or not!

That isn't too bad at all. Sounds like it is possible to go it alone. You give me hope. Thank you.

I have stayed at 10. I have another stone to go but want to try and taper off a bit.

This is my before and current from 15.9 but was 15.8 when started MJ. To this morning 10.8.

I still want to lose a stone. My stomach isn't great or my neck.

That’s amazing!

Thank you @Callmejudith

@coffeandteav bloody hell that’s a big difference!! Well done!

Thank you. It did take 4 stone loss for people to notice.

@coffeandteav same, took to 5st off for people to start noticing!

It is crazy isn't it?

@wondabar how is the 10 going for you? Still have satiety/suppression etc? I would think that’s would be the indicator. Still on 10 myself with 8lbs to goal…

How have we all coped with Easter weekend? I have eaten chocolate and drunk Prosecco and have to admit to feeling a bit unwell as a result!

Oh found you after commenting on the old one 😂

I had half a £1 smarties egg and felt sick. I've barely touched chocolate all this time, I totally went off it from day one. I'm on AL so I'm sitting around more, going for coffees and meals but also at the gym more and walking the dog for longer so should balance out.

@IReallyNeedThisToWorkI must admit that on 10 mg food noise has been returning just before I am due my dose. That being said I am stretching it out to every 10 days or so. Just not sure whether I should go on 12.5mg? Has anyone been on 12.5mg and was it a big jump from 10mg?
