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 🥰

@PresidentBarklettthats so amazing. Well done. Well over half way.

My pen arrived today, they must have heard me complaining.

This is the kind of thing I wear for wild swimming so it looks fine to me, though you might be a bit hot out of the water. Are the upper arms and thighs really as bad as you think they are though? I showed a friend a lovely photo of her that I had taken looking vibrant and happy and all she could see was her very slight double chin!

I know that BMI measures don’t hold a lot of weight (pun intended), but for the first time in my adult life, I’m overweight and not obese.

Hurrah @PresidentBarklett many congratulations on your fabulous achievement. 5 Stone is amazing!!!

Every single milestone is important @MyRootinTootinBaby , going from obese to merely overweight is definitely to be celebrated.

I've had my 6 days of fun, eating out every day, now I need to have 3 angelic days before weigh day!

Woo hoo! 🙌 I’m at 23.0 and I don’t look ill nor am I even at my lowest adult weight. You do you and ignore the naysayers 💪

🥳 a pound off at this stage is definitely an achievement. Obviously the Rose was a good decision 😂

Happy birthday week to you! (I make mine definitely last a week, milestone ones can last more than a month 😂) All the virtual cake for you 🎂

🥳 for a bmi of 25! Hope you feel better today. I’d stick on 7.5mg personally.

How many is ‘a few’ squares of Lindt? They are quite large squares…?😂 Could you swap out one square for a mejool date maybe? Is it dark chocolate? Because you know that’s much better for you than milk chocolate. If it’s milk, your rational brain knows the product is designed to make you less satisfied so you want more…don’t let it trap you 💪

Ooh! What did you see?

I felt very virtuous last week at the cinema - no sweets or wine at all 💪😂 saw the F1 film - was bloody marvellous. Highly recommend. Like Top Gun but with cars.

Well it is tricky to eat well with no kitchen so be kind to yourself. Could you buy the plain salad bowl from m&s and add in some pre-cooked lean protein? What dose are you on atm?

I’ve found 10 stones 13.9 to 9 stones anything to be the slowest loss. Keep going, it will happen eventually. 💪

I’m about to order today so let’s see 🤞

You are dressing for your old self my friend. Wear the swimsuits you want. I promise you, no one is looking. No need to cover yourself and end up sweating to death. There will be people larger than you embracing their bodies. Embrace yours 🥰

Wedding is in August.

The rose diet basically involves inadvertently getting smashed on too much rose wine. Maybe also throwing in a takeaway too. Annoyingly then losing weight the next day (possibly the first loss in two weeks) after being angelic for many, many days before 😂

😂what a NSV 💪

🥳 congratulations!

Trust the process 🍷 😂

I haven’t but heard it’s very good.

Sorry to smash your 🌹flavoured food dreams 😂

Absolutely phenomenal. Many, many congratulations 🙌 🥳

5 stone medal 🥇 for you 💪

🥳 congratulations! 🙌 💪

Keep going 💪

@Mounjaropenyou are such a motivating poster. Responding to everyone! It’s so a
appreciated.
inching downwards. Some days I miss the highs of the early days back before Christmas when the numbers were tumbling down.
Off to Norway this week. So wanted to be fit and thinner for all the exploring. So feeling good!
have a great week everyone. Here’s to less of us by next week!

Update from me…

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 and it’s officially a 4 stone rosette for me! CW 9st 10.6lb so a TL of 56.4lbs

Plenty of booze since Friday ( Harvey nicks lunch with DD on Friday, Fancy Lucky Cat lunch with STBDH on Saturday and a roast dinner out at a local place yesterday) seemed to do the trick 😂💪🏻

Wedding update: Booked the reception, issued WhatsApp invites to our closest friends (twentysomething year old me would be horrified😂) and bought a rather lovely diamond wedding band… Still no shoes 😭 STBDH was also kitted out - although we do look like we’re going to two entirely different weddings 😂

Highlight of the weekend was the lovely assistant in the fancy jewellers allowing me to try some extraordinary rings on whilst giving me an impromptu gemmology lesson including a ruby and diamond number worth £m’s.. reader, I did not spend anything like that 😂 It did make our rather more modest purchase feel very special though and given STBDH bought my engagement ring there over 10 years ago, they remembered him fondly which was lovely.

Congratulations on the 4 stone rosette and the upcoming nuptials, @Mounjaropen! Loving the wedding shopping updates.

Amazing updates too from @PresidentBarklett and @MyRootinTootinBaby and anyone else I’ve missed. Awesome results!

Weight loss really makes no sense. I stepped on the scales this morning after a weekend away convinced that between the food and drink and the heat/long drive I would be retaining water like crazy, but nope, I’m down to 9 st 8 (0.5lb down since Fri morning). It’s lovely but completely illogical.

Totally not in the spirit of the thread but I'm THRILLED to find someone else who likes rose flavoured things. Rose petal jam, rose chocolate that tastes like Turkish delight......

Congrats 🙌
