Welcome to thread 11 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 throw away the tent dresses, have no chub rub and wear ALL the damn shorts as we head towards Summer Holiday Season. 🙌

Join us here to celebrate NSV’s, weight loss milestones and generally mutually admire our new svelte frames!

I’m on W29 D5 and on my third 7.5mg pen
F in my early 50’s
H 5’ 5.5”
SW 13st 11lb
CW 10st 1.8lbs
GW 9st 13.9 (maybe 9st 7lb if I can)
Total loss so far 51.2 lbs

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 wellness/supplements/beauty/ style chat too 🥰

Woo @Pumpkinforever amazing! Congrats!!!

Yay, well done you!

Back to reality this morning, boo! Got home yesterday after a week of sun, sea and all the food. I weighed myself and I’ve put on 4.5lbs, but that’s not real, it’s plane dehydration. I’ll see where I am tomorrow morning before I panic. Jabbed the day before I left and I felt like I was fighting the MJ to eat during the first part of the week - I hadn’t really realised how much eating is a part of holidaying for me.

morning everyone,

Well done to everyone on the great losses and to those that have reached maintenance stage, we can do this. 💪

Well, I hoped that the universe would grant me a post-pukeaganza whoosh and I was right. Down to 20 stone 7 today taking me over 3 stone lost. I expect some of that will go back on but I reserve the right to enjoy it whilst it lasts!

@MsRumpole well done, but sorry you've had to go through the puking! Not much fun!

I'm 0.4lbs off from my 5 stone, how rude. I really wanted to be 11st 7lbs when we go on holiday on the 20th but as things have slowed down I think that might be a stretch - however I'm happy with where I've got to and I have enough nice things to wear on holiday apart from a bikini. I dug one out last night that I must have bought 10 years ago and am wondering in what lifetime my boobs ever fit into a B cup bikini top. So a shopping trip for me. I don't like how untight my stomach is now so might be looking at a tankini, and I definitely want bottoms with a bit more coverage. Any recommendations very welcome.

Well done! 6lbs to go is amazing! 🤩

😂😂😂😂

Wowee on all fronts… exercise AND you might see a 7 on the scales?! 🤯 👏👏

Edited to say.. sounds like you may be running out of fat padding at your injection site? (something I don’t have to worry about!)

@Pumpkinforeverand @MsRumpolewooohooooo big congrats. All the dancing around the kitchen will knock off a few more grams too.

Woohoo amazing!! Well done!

Urgh you big/ small show off! Totally happy and not jealous because I think I'm still going to be just shy of my 4 stone rosette tomorrow. I took loperamide on Tuesday as I didn't want to risk cocktails and noodles causing tummy issues for my O2 date with Kylie, but now I'm not optimistic that I'll have the necessary Big Poo before tomorrow's weigh in 😂

Hooray! But agree being ill is not the best way, you poor thing, fingers crossed the weight stays off on the scales!

Wow not far off at all!

Good luck with the swimwear shopping. I would love to hear recommendations too. For the past 10 years or so I’ve worn those swim dress things but after wearing one recently at Centerparcs I’ve had enough of the bloody things (especially when the skirt floats up).

The tops of my thighs are dreadful so I would love to hear of something that gives more coverage.

@Cantbesure I read if you don't change your injection site enough you can build up a bit of scar tissue, which then mj can't be as easily absorbed. Don't know how accurate that is but I make sure I pick a totally different spot each week. I do have to make a note as I forget the previous week's site.

I’m about a 1lb up according to the room scales. I know what you mean about eating being a part of holidaying… I’m compromising by eating later than I would. In other news, more food (and a lot of wine 😂) has meant I am no longer having 💩 issues..

Strangely I would always have used a holiday as an excuse to swerve exercise but I have been doing my Pvolve daily though 💪💪

Not looking forward to coming back 😭

Incredible step count! 👏 👏👏

Keep going 💪

🥳 3 stone rosette for you! 👏👏👏

Freya do great tankinis - have a look on brand alley to see if they have anything in your size. Would deffo recommend. Right now I’m rocking a Tu Sainsbury’s swimsuit which was a bargain and is holding up the boobs quite nicely despite not having underwires.

Ooh have fun at Kylie!

Get the kiwi fruit in to get the 💩 going 😉

Wear the swimsuits. I guarantee no one is looking. Everyone has a hang up about their body regardless of what size they are 💪

You can record your injection site on Shotsy. I find it useful for that alone.

I have only ever done left and right thigh. Maybe it’s time to try my large flabby tummy. There’s still plenty of skin there 😂

3rd jab of 2nd 10mg pen
(Not too sure how many total weeks to count as I had to have a medical 3 week pause in January, then moved down a pen for a month, before going back up again),

SW 16.5
CW 12.9
Total loss 3 stone 10

I didn't weigh in last week so It's a 3lb loss over the two weeks which I am delighted with, as I had my birthday and a family event in the first week.

Just ordered my next 10mg pen.
SE's much less now than when I first moved up to 10mg, and good level of suppression means I start to feel full while eating (which stops me having too much) and don't get hungry between meals. But if I leave it too long between meals I do feel a bit hungry which is good as I find the nausea/indigestion really kicks in if I have too long a gap between meals. The 10mg pen is also lasting for 7 days, whereas the lower doses faded off after day 5.

Fantastic to read about everyones successes.
@MsRumpole @Pumpkinforever fantastic achievements
@evilharpy you are sooooo close!
@Mounjaropen I am in awe that you are still keeping up your exercise routine on holiday. Definitely inspires me to do the same.

It's 4 weeks and 2 days until we go on holiday. I am hoping that I will get my 4 stone award by then, just 4 lb to go so very achievable (without any unforeseen hiccoughs!)

Wore new swimming costume this week (3rd size down since starting), its on the snug side but the previous one was quite baggy and in danger of showing a lot more than I would care to reveal in a public swimming pool! 🙈😂

Hello! Hurrah hurrah I am finally in the 11 stone club 🥳 And thanks to a mini whoosh, I have also sailed past my 3 stone rosette award 🏵🏵🏵 So much excitement! I've decided to officially switch over to Stones and lbs now after weighing myself so far in kg. So that makes a 44lb loss 🥳🥳🥳

By my calculations I have 8lbs to lose to get me into a healthy BMI category. It blows my mind that I'm here. And makes me a bit sad that I spent a long time thinking this weight was fat and disgusting but after losing 3 stone I feel bloody fabulous!
