@WitchDancer well done - you've shed a whole man, that's more than anyone else on the thread Seriously though, all the best in your new life. You might find that without living with the constant stress, your cortisol levels will drop and that in itself might lead to some weight loss. Plus you're making decisions for yourself now - eat well and live well.

@wohmum well done on reaching your goal. None of us in our 60s are going to have firm taut skin - even if we'd not put on so much weight. Looking good in our clothes is fantastic, and the increased confidence makes us look even better. I'd have been embarassed to wear shorts in my 30s (when I had a healthy BMI), now I'm loving it.

I'm going to the theatre this evening. Previously I'd have used that as an excuse to have an early theatre dinner, order drinks and snacks for the show, and maybe go for a couple more before heading home. Instead today I've planned my meals - a big delicious brunch (or as big as I can manage!), then an early tea of slow roast ham, new potatoes, broccoli and green beans. Thankyou MJ!

@WitchDancer all the very best for the future. I divorced my ex after 20 years of marriage when I was 50..19 years ago this month. So much happier and healthier now. No regrets x

@20bloodypounds a few of us in our 60's on here I think? I will be 69 next month and am finally happy about my weight. My arms and tummy have 'gone' (very wrinkly) but it hasn't stopped me from wearing a bikini and sleeveless tops..I have had too many years of covering up.
There are many things I could regret in my life and feel terribly sad and upset about but I just won't allow myself to do that anymore..I try to enjoy every day and live in the present. Not having to worry about my weight is a huge relief after all these years.

awww shucks @WitchDancer. Happy to be of assistance. Was only a listening ear /shoulder

It’s def weird living alone after being with dh for years in my case - but also happier and like you my choice

hopefully you will lose that stone and be in your black lace dress the same as I got into my trousers which I have not even worn since fitting into them 😂

congrats @wohmum ☀️☀️ and welcome to maintenance and similar. I look ok in clothes. Not so naked and thanks @wohmum I just try and keep all motivated and hopefully we will all be here for a while

waves hand in air @20bloodypounds I’ve also shed a whole man 🙀😂😛

enjoy theatre

@Azuresky68 life really began at 50 for you. Like me

@WitchDanceri hope you’re really happy in your new home ❤️

Congrats @wohmum

Thank you all. I never thought of it in terms of shedding a man

Wishing you heaps of happy @WitchDancer 😊

Congrats @WitchDancer - onwards and upwards! May you be very happy in your new home.

I’ve been trying to find a moment to sit down and catch up. So pleased so many are now at target and those still losing, keep going, you’re doing so well.

In fact, we’ve all done so well. And what a great support group and bunch of friends we’ve made, albeit anonymous!

A year ago I was trying to find something to wear for my friends wedding and failing miserably. School friends and we don’t meet up very often. My pink trousers were skin tight on me and I could barely do them up. All the lovely dresses I ordered got sent back and I ended up in some trousers that did fit and a baggy shirt. I was the fat friend now. I hadn’t always been. I’d never been the skinniest, but I was definitely now that fat one!

14stone!

Late July, I clicked on the weight loss section on MN determined to start another diet. There was an injection section and I had no idea this was a thing. Had to be worth a try right?

I didn’t do a whole lot of research, I plunged right in and here I am! Pre-children and pre exdp, I was a steady 9 stone-ish. That was surely not possible, but I’d be happy at 10. Hell, I’d be happy at 12!

I say ex-do. He very much is, but we are still living together and co-parenting. It’s working ok. I have no interest in another bloke. And I don’t care what he does. He is welcome to leave anytime, but he won’t.
(one day he won’t have a choice, but for now he does his bit and it makes things easier).

We are going away tomorrow. Visiting family overseas, his and mine with our 3DC (who still haven’t packed!)

This morning I weighted 8st12. I am going to enjoy myself. If I put on half a stone, and I expect to, I’ll be where I thought I’d never be!

We are planning a water park and I have a swimsuit to wear! I’m very wrinkly, but am not going to let that put me off! I will try to get photos with my teens! However much they protest.

This past year, I’ve found myself again. Losing weight has given me the confidence I needed, and I’m no longer a fat menopausal hasbeen!
Lots has changed for me on a personal level, and I’ve reconnected with the past, something else that I thought would never happen.

You lot have played a big part in being my support system through this, I really don’t have anyone else, SO THANK YOU ALL.

Gosh that was very poignant. Get the photos, wear the bikini- and be YOU! Thankyou x

Wow @Usernamechangeforthis12 I’m in awe you can live with exdp and co parent

why doesn’t he leave. Sorry if too nosey and you don’t need to answer

amazing to be 8/12 and you thought maybe 10

enjoy holiday / are you stopping mj it lowering dose ?

Congrats @Usernamechangeforthis12enjoy your holiday and take the pics!

I had to live with exh for about 7 months after we separated before I brought my new house. For me it literally gave me ptsd I can’t even go back to my old town without getting really bad anxiety and physically feeling poorly. We didn’t argue or be horrible to each other but geez looking back it was the bleakest time. But if it works for you then great, but please make sure you’re taking care of yourself and it really is okay. Sorry if I’m being a Debbie downer but it really has left me with lasting effects. I don’t regret it as it made sense financially and it allowed me to buy my beautiful new house but still.

Some lovely catch ups, so nice to read!

i weighed in at 9st1 this morning, so close to the 8s!! I think this is the least I’ve weighed in about 20+ years.

I think we are all the lightest we have been in 20/25yrs

Not me @Blondeshavemorefun25 years ago I was 12 🤣🤣 so significantly lighter then 🤣

I’m 42 and actually I think I am lighter potentially than when I was 12! I certainly was bigger than the other girls and really knew it.

Oh really @FurForksSakei did put on weight in teenage years and was bigger age 13-15 but then lost it and maintained a healthy weight until lockdown (except for pregnancies and the losses after) I just piled on weight after lockdown and during marriage breakdown. So hoping I’m back to my normal
🤞

😂😂😂

im one of the older ones on here

tho not the eldest

that goes to the lovely 69 @Azuresky68 x

I love how our ages are so different but we all have so much in common! In my ‘real life’ I have friends who are older. Age is but a number!

and @Blondeshavemorefunof course you remember the number 69 🍆🤣

Well of course @owlyboo

tho none of that happening here

hence why I get so excited with my elephants penis 🐘🐘🐘🐘

I’m 67.

❤️❤️ and until we all revealed ages we would have had no idea of the differences which is lovely!

and @Blondeshavemorefun 🤣🤣 🐘

52 in just under 4w

Think we said before we have a lot of July birthdays

I’m 37 not long until your birthday! Any big plans?
