Roll up, roll up ....

Yay new thread, checking in!

Thanks for the thread. Checking in for the final push (hopefully)

Thanks for the new thread @Thelittlestranger 🙏

Checking in losers!

Thanks for the new thread!
I weighed my 3 year old yesterday, who i find has been getting really heavy and he weighs 8lbs less than the total I have lost since 1st Jan! Crazy to pick him up and know I've lost so much.

I've lost more than 15 kilos. I have a 15 kilo weight at home, it's bloody heavy! Can't really imagine going about my day while carrying that weight.

Which would explain why I am suddenly burning a lot fewer calories in my fitness classes. Before, I burned around 500 per Bodypump class. Now 300 something, consistently. I was puzzled - I use the same weights, I do the same exercises, how come? But of course I actually lift 15 kilos less.

Checking in x

Can I ask what dose you are all on now? I've just finished my 10mg pen. Did anyone move up or just stay on that? Mine has been a slow and steady loss which I why I chose to move up through the doses.

I have been on 2.5 most of the time, 2 weeks ago tried 3.75 and last week 4. Will do 4 again this evening and then will see what next week brings weight loss wise. If no loss, will go up to 5.

@Skipskipperroo I'm on my second 7.5 and I have another one in the fridge. I am starting to notice feeling hungry more often so maybe should've gone up on the next one, but will be on this for a while so wanted to go a bit slower with the doses. It's probably quite good for me too that I am having to exercise a bit more self control!

Checking in!

I’m on my second 7.5mg pen but it’s the first I’ve been doing properly. I split the first one into 6.25mg doses.

I can’t see me moving up now. I’m 8.4lbs away from goal and there’s 3/4 doses left in this pen so I’m expecting to start titrating down. My maintenance appointment is towards the end of June so I’ll see what they suggest

Checking in! I'm on 2.5 (having come down from 5), it's day two of my second jab of it and I'm hungry. I shouldn't be! Although eating more food will be a good thing!

Hi all, checking in!

Jab day for me today. I’ll do the bonus dose of my 7.5mg pen before moving up to 10mg next week.

It’s also weigh day but I’ve been a coward and not weighed in 😂 had a bad day of eating yesterday, felt bloated today and just didn’t fancy it. When I say bad day… I was still within my deficit, I just ate quite a few calorie dense snacks that I wouldn’t normally. Might weigh tomorrow or the weekend 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Skipskipperroo I'm on 6.4, I'm moving up very slowly as I'll be on this a long time and want to get the most out of each dose before moving up. I don't want to peak too soon!

@Skipskipperroo I've done
4x2.5
1x3
9x3.75
2x4.3
1x5
1x5.5 (was meant to be 5 but just finished what was left in the pen)
Feeling really quite suppressed now so think I'll take 5s out of my new 7.5 pen for a couple of weeks at least. It's interesting how much it varies person to person

Edited as posted in the wrong chat 🤣
thanks for the new thread !

I’m on 7.5, 2nd week of 3rd pen although I think I did an extra 1mg (10 clicks) this week, and I’m definitely feeling less hungry. If it works, I’m going to stick with this for another pen as it’s still working for me.

Thanks for the new thread! I have gone up every month but this is my first time repeating a dose, so starting my second 7.5 pen today. I have the perfect level of not wanting to snack but still hungry for proper meals. Hopefully it stays this way for the next 4 weeks!

Thank you for the new thread!
I am on 5mg now, I did 5x2.5mg then 10 x 3.75mg and now 3x 5mg. I might go up to 7.5 after 4 doses of 5mg if I feel the need.

I’m on 7.5 too but had two 2.5 pens at the start then three 5 pens before moving up.
Weigh in and jab day here and despite a weekend at the seaside I still managed a loss which I’m very pleased with!
SW: 15st 1lb
CW: 13st 7.4lb
GW: 10st 7lb

Now I really need to whine about vanity sizing. I just bought a dress that has been marked as UK size 6. I am not, nor will I ever be a size 6. Even my bare bones are larger than that. I understand they want to please the people like I was before, the ones in denial about their need to go up a size, who are delighted that even a size smaller suddenly fits.
I knew already this brand fits large, but this is ridiculous if you have to take 4 sizes to fitting room. Or in my case, as shopping sucks here, I need to order 4 sizes online and send 3 back.

Thanks for the new thread, just checking in quickly and will catch up properly later.

Thanks for the shiny new thread @Thelittlestranger!

Doses: 6 x 2.5mg, 2 x 3.33mg, 1 x 3.75mg, 1 x 4.16mg, 8 x 5mg. Have a bonus dose left in this pen then one more 5mg pen.
Very close to goal (600g). Seeing if I can increase calories while staying on 5 or just under, or if I need to go down to 2.5mg in order to maintain.

Checking in! I’m on 7.5 mg, just done the 4th dose, bonus dose next week. It’s my second pen, and I’m debating if I should go up to 10 mg. I feel strong suppression on this dose, no tapering at the end of the week, so I reckon I might stay on this dose. I still have 11 kg to lose to get to goal.

My Vinted haul has been hit and miss, mainly because I am so used to vanity sizing. I live within a stroll of a gigantic M&S and Next. So it was a disappointment to find I can’t squeeze my chest into an Oasis size 12 dress, or a Gant size 12 shirt.

I will keep though, as if I never get small enough to fit them, I can just resell. It does feel nice to be enjoying clothes again 😍
