Welcome to thread 10 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’ve successfully navigated Easter and head towards Summer Holiday Season. Stop here to celebrate NSV’s, weight loss milestones and admire our new svelte frames!

I’m on W25 D1 and on my second 7.5mg pen

F in my early 50’s
H 5’ 5.5”
SW 13st 11lb
CW 10st 9lbs
GW 10st (maybe 9st 7lb if I can)
Total loss so far 44lbs

We 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 managing side effects, exercise tips, tips for maintenance, titrating up or down and we love a beauty/ style chat too 🥰

I have a tennis match on Monday so just went to buy new kit for it, and…drumroll… I am a size 10!! in the Nike tennis skirt and top. Unbelievable. AND the undershorts hide my festoon blind-like inner thighs 🥳

In other news, I am sitting here quite hangry because despite having a plan for today which included going to view and buy a new tractor as DH has destroyed ours (which we did at midday) and then go for a late lunch at a local vineyard (lovely food and wine made locally). Without consulting, DH has decided to dick about with his new toy all afternoon (hence my shopping spree) and is now only just unilaterally decided to cut all of the grass...which is not a quick job. Dinner is a Tomahawk steak and salad so I can’t cook mine by itself so I am now sitting with a glass of wine gently seething 😂

Hi thanks for the Invite thays me at 11stone this os the best feeling I've been trying forever to be like this I'm very happy in some ways

Ok this is getting weird - SNAP!

Sorry to read about your DSS- hope the family is coping 💐

Catching up with all the great results and news on here.
when I was 45 I set the goal of being fit and thin at 50. Had a personal trainer etc etc, I was fit but still fat. Approaching 60 I was still fat and not so fit. At 65 thanks to MJ I was thinner and still not as fit as at 50. My new goal for 66 is getting fit again and reaching my goal weight. 7lbs to go. I realise after struggling for all these years that I couldn’t do it without MJ and without the chat and support of this group. This is such a safe space. Even though I don’t post a lot I feel so included in all our scale and non scale victories so thank you. 🙏 I’m a few drinks in. I was the driver for our afternoon outing to a BBQ so had some catching up to do when we got home. My NSV today was wearing a crop top for the first time in my life and feeling good in it. Probably shouldn’t drink anymore tonight 😀

My BBQ outfit that I wore today. First crop top ever 😉

Goodness knows how I managed to do that! 😂

Thanks @Mounjaropen.....I'll try again.....

For the first time since starting MJ I'm feeling a little despondent 😔
Perhaps I've taken my eye off the ball a bit too much, knew I was in a stall, but just checked my stats and I've stayed the same (well, bobbled up and down by a pound) for four weeks now 🙄
I know what I need to do.... I just need a bit of a reset, to focus more, to put a stop to the small bad habits that have crept in. I've been on 5mg for 5 months, which has, until now, been effective, so from tomorrow I'll be upping to 7.5mg, giving myself a stern talking to, and a bloody good kick up the backside! 💪

You look outstanding! ❤️

@Mounjaropen thank you we were expecting it but we're hoping he gets help he needs

@Dreamqueenyou look amazing well done you must be well chuffed

You look fantastic @Dreamqueen

I posted on the other thread to you @MontyJinks. I preordered 7.5 early and think I should have moved up to 10 so am feeling your pain. Next month!

Wowzers!! 🔥

Hopefully 7.5mg gives you the boost you need. I’m up to 10 and found going up a good boost each time.

i have lost a pound this week so 3.5lbs away from my revised target. I’m now finding my old ‘slim’ clothes are big and need to buy new sports bras. It’s a dear do!

Did a local 5k evening run yesterday and really pleased with how I did. I’m so happy I started MJ.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend.

Three cheers for @Dreamqueen's crop top! What an epic nsv!

In the absence of a cheer emoji, here's a fistbump instead👊

I have a 7.5mg pen sitting in the fridge. This is the first time I have had that dose. Am a day late as I have not eaten well yesterday or, annoyingly, today(big Chinese meal) and am really worried about it making me sick. Can anyone remind me how many clicks it is to get a smaller dose? Is it 6.1 that people have tried?

Wow! You look beautiful
this thread is way too glam for me!!

@MsRumpole
all doses are 60 clicks, so you just use
dose you want/pen dose x60 to get the clicks you need.
eg for 6mg dose from a 7.5 mg pen
6/7.5 x 60 =48 clicks
or
for 5mg dose from 7.5mg pen
5/7.5 x 60 = 40 clicks

Wow! Amazing goal, and the picture is outstanding! You look fantastic! Are you sure you’ve got your age right? Because you literally look decades younger from the photo 🥰

I tried 6.25mg when I went up because I had an event the next day and that was 52 clicks (although I think I did 50) Tbf, no issues either then or the following week when I did inject 7.5mg.

Congratulations on the loss and the park run! 👏👏

Keep going! failure cannot cope with persistence 💪💪💪

@Mounjaropen I hope you had your supper eventually! My OH is prone to engrossed in something and then forget about other peoples food needs 😂 if he had a tractor I would never see him!

Hope the tomahawk was worth the wait :-)

also congrats on size 10 👏🎉

Ignore the click-bait headline - the article itself is actually very good!

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my picture.

I’ve only just spotted your age. I assumed you were early 30s from your photo - you figure and style is fabulous.

Amazing news on the size 10 @Mounjaropenisn’t it a fabulous feeling? You have worked so hard with all of your exercise. I’m sure you look absolutely fabulous.

@murraymcgill life sounds very difficult for you. Well done on keeping at this whilst it’s all going on. We deserve to look after ourselves too.

Im having an unusual weekend as the scales keep dropping. I usually gain a pound or 2. That’s a loss of 2.7lbs this week 🤯 2.8lbs away from my 8 stone goal.
