Happy birthday @Azuresky68ha e a wonderful day!

FurForksSake · 07/07/2025 08:19

After the discussion about celebrations and food, son achieved his grading and then asked if he could go to crazy golf as a treat. So, a non-food celebration!

I am currently near completely housebound and that makes celebrating in non-food ways harder. I can’t go for a nice walk, book a facial or a massage or go and browse a book store.

Motnight · 07/07/2025 08:40

@Azuresky68 have a lovely, lovely birthday 🎂🎉

@Blondeshavemorefun so pleased to read that you know you look good 😊

Azuresky68 · 07/07/2025 11:07

Thanks everyone for birthday wishes. I had a nice chilled day thanks. My other half was here and also saw my eldest daughter and sister and also a very good friend. I didn't feel the need to go out for drinks and a meal which was good but had a few nice treats at home. Back to reality now and need to sort my eating out..a few weeks back on 1000 cals to lose post holiday and celebration weight.

Azuresky68 · 07/07/2025 11:13

@FurForksSake sorry to hear you are housebound at the moment...I must have missed the reason why back in the posts. How are you?
Well done for a non food celebration for your son..maybe we need to think of NFC's as well as NSV's and start to celebrate them?
I have at least 2 this week..getting my hair done and also getting my nails done. But they are part of my regular 'maintenance' so maybe don't count?

Could you book a mobile beauty therapist?

FurForksSake · 07/07/2025 11:23

Basically I’ve hurt my hip really badly, means I can’t sit in a chair, walk or stand for long. I’m waiting for a joint injection to give me some mobility back and then probably a complicated operation at some point. I manage to get around the house and take a lot of painkillers. Hoping to get back to work at the end of the summer once I’ve had the injection. That along with the big gun painkillers might even let me do some pre-hab and build some muscle before I have the probably surgery.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/07/2025 13:42

Sorry to hear mainly housebound @FurForksSake. That must be hard

taken a while eh @Motnightbut yes I’m happy - I even did an underwear pic and thought yes flabby legs but I look ok

@Blondeshavemorefun it's fantastic to know that you are feeling so good about yourself. Isn't it just one of the best things to not be obsessed with losing weight and feeling awful when looking in the mirror 😍

WorriedRelative · 07/07/2025 15:02

Bugger just had my pen jam while prepping my 4th dose. Definitely not golden dose, and I have actually used less than 3 full doses as I dropped back a dose by counting clicks for two weeks.

Not a problem as I have syringes but very annoying.

owlyboo · 07/07/2025 18:15

Happy birthday @Azuresky68

hope you feel better soon @FurForksSakesounds awful!

@Blondeshavemorefuni think people project ignore and shut down unhelpful comments

NippyNinjaCrab · 07/07/2025 21:02

Hello hello!! I hope you are all doing amazing, my last post i read was 21st of June so I have a lot to catch up on. We have had an amazing holiday and already back a week ffs! It goes too quickly. I ate basically what I wanted when we were away, which was what I usually would with breakfasts, they had plentiful huge bowls of homemade yoghurts, fruit, seeds, dates and dried cranberries etc. My downfall was the pastry chef omg the cinnamon swirls were the best in the world! I didn't restrict myself and was 11st 3lbs when I got home. My goal was 11st and my lowest before I went was 10st 13lbs or was it 12lbs, feck knows. Now I have to say that although I liked how I looked I hated my bottom half especially my arse, flat, so I've joined a pilates class and my first is this Friday. The few pounds I have added have went to my stomach and hips as usual and a little on my bum which has filled it out a bit.
Dh has started MJ and I jabbed him yesterday, he has piled on the weight but he is a snacker when hes bored, and when hes driving. So today on the way home from work he ate a tangerine and a boiled egg instead of 3 packets of crisps and an energy drink!!
I've asked oushk for my next 3 maintenance codes so I can jab a small amount to keep it in my system.
What's been happening in our wee group then? Xxx

owlyboo · 07/07/2025 21:11

@NippyNinjaCrabglad you had an amazing time!

nice dh is starting and doing well!

I need to do more exercises my arse is flatter than flat but then it always has been!

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/07/2025 21:25

Annoying @WorriedRelative

@owlyboo I don’t think my dad meant any harm but he’s so used to me being larger

I did and a friend after if I look too slim and she said no. She would tell me if I did

waves to the crustian @NippyNinjaCrab. Glad had a fab holiday

hope dh does well and sure you will encourage each other

my bum is so flat as well

Ithinkimrincewind · 08/07/2025 05:37

In case anyone else has weight verification call from Oushk and is also expecting it to be like a F.T. call loke with Hira, don't 😂
You can't see them, or yourself so you stand and hold ID up in front of you and move it as requested, then onto scale and same. Very pleasant person but strange experience so they probably mainly saw up my nose as I spoke to them 😂

NippyNinjaCrab · 08/07/2025 09:17

Morning wish we still had the laughing emoji! @Ithinkimrincewind 😂. I whatsapped them to ask what I do now I need my next 3 codes. They replied and asked for some details and they would send me an email. I know its regulation but I can't be arsed with tape measures, scales and whatever, just give me the pen 😂
I am on the lowest of low dose to keep it in my system and its working well. I do find the day after jabbing my mood isn't great, not low, more rage ffs! I did it Sunday, shit show of a day yesterday, feel okay today. Ah the joys of being a lightweight @20bloodypounds. I am more sensitive to other meds too like you said above.
I've also noticed that my hip pain on the one that's due replaced is increasing now I've dropped the level of MJ in my body. I'm struggling to use it going up and also off a kerb, up any stairs and standing. Its now flowing into my knee and foot which I don't want as the next stage is awful when the pain increases. I got my last hip replaced privately but I don't have that luxury now.
Reading your updates on low iron @Blondeshavemorefun I was wondering if MJ prevents absorption to some degree. I was given 4 months folic acid as it was 2.2 but I felt okay, i always eat various foods and nuts high in folic acid. I asked the question and my GP said as there's still so much to find out about the drug she couldn't say if it was that. Anyway I know you will be okay, although you say you're not worried it will be in the back of your mind. We are all here for you as you have been here for us in the thread and personally too.
@WitchDancer congratulations on making the break from your cause of stress. Its liberating isnt it? I wish i had cut ties with my exh so much sooner. I know my life would be so much more different for the better, especially my health. Hugs
@owlyboo I hated my bum on holiday, my swimsuits were lovely but the bum area lacking.
DH says he likes how I look now, a bit more curvy, its only 4 lbs but it now makes me think ffs I won't keep weight on because of what he said. But if I lose it again to 10st 12lbs the clothes I spent a fortune on just look like shit. I don't want to be catching myself on the Ring and not liking what I see again. I am hoping Pilates will help my toning and also my strength. Especially my back with its herniated and bulging discs ffs, we are walking crumbles some of us 😂
Good God I am wittering on some waffle. I have missed you all.
Ps
I am a 2/7 birthday and 53 now. ❤️❤️

WitchDancer · 08/07/2025 09:48

Morning all!
Life is good right now. I don’t think I realised how miserable I was until the past couple of weeks. He wasn’t deliberately nasty or anything, but my self esteem really wasn’t good. I’m feeling lighter in my mental load certainly.

I’m not lighter in my body weight though. I’ve not been really watching what I eat and there has been a lot of junk in the house, which I did pick at. I’m back on track though, but I’ve certainly lost my suppression (I’m on my last pen and titrating down because I can’t afford any more) and am having to concentrate on healthy choices.

I have calculated my % lost and am happy to say it’s 19.7%! It might not be as much as you lot but I’m really happy with that. I’m starting to get comments on how well I’m looking - possibly because I’m wearing size 16 rather than 20 clothes Confused

I’ve still got to loose a couple of stone but I’m content for now where I am. If I loose some more, great, but I’m aiming just for maintenance until I get my head straight again.

Thanks @NippyNinjaCrab. I’m ok

saw a consultant yesterday. Rushed thro via the 2w cancer pathway and after checking me and tube up the bum . She asked catsuits questions and all were no. She said she couldn’t see any signs of symptoms of cancer and tbh wasn’t sure why doc has sent me but they will always see if a risk

she asked about weight loss. I said lost 6s. Delib as was fat.and she said Oh. That explains it

so need extra iron folic acid, but c and b12 and retest blood in 2/3mth. If it hasn’t risen then wil need to be re checked

poppym12 · 08/07/2025 15:38

Glad you're ok @Blondeshavemorefun.

Happy birthday to all my fellow July babies. I was hoping to be at my target by mine but I don't think I can shift 4kg in 4 days! Sadly I don't think it's possible by 11th August either which is when I'll have been on it a year.

Size wise I'm ok with where I am. Another stone would be nice but I'm not in my 30s/40s like when I was that weight before and I'm finding loads of clothes I'd packed away are easily fitting me now. I've packed up all the larger sizes but I feel too apprehensive about maintenance to let them go just yet.

Weight loss is at a snails pace, a few oz here and there so I'm thinking that the pen due for delivery today will be my last 15 and I'll try to move down afterwards. Tbh, I'm fed up with the cost of it now and I have a grandchild on the way (totally unexpected - for me and the parents to be!) so I'd like to have a bit more money to help out.

It's been quite the journey - and so much more tolerable having you guys on it with me Flowers

Azuresky68 · 08/07/2025 16:17

Hello everyone. Just checking in and catching up! Still on 10 mg ..only ever tried 12 5 mg once and I couldn't eat! But after more than 3 weeks off calorie counting I am finding it so hard and definitely not as much suppression or willpower as before 😱 No idea what I was after return from holiday last Friday as I delayed my weigh in to Friday. Need to sort my weight verification out before orderin my next pen at the beginning of August

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/07/2025 17:23

do 4lbs really make a diff to your clothes @NippyNinjaCrab as they don’t to me

happy belated birthday my little Crustian 💐

i didn’t reliese I was almost the same age as you. I’m 52 on 19/7

@WitchDancer. I was the same. As you know from our chats - I didn’t reliese how u happy I was till I wasn’t - no more walking on eggshells

glad you are feeling happier even if single

almost a 1/5th of body is still impressive

thanks @poppym12ans great you have clothes you can now fit into

m I’m so annoyed I got rid of mine never thinking I wouid get back into them 😢

hope wi isn’t too bad @Azuresky68

Hello everyone!!

Not been around for ages but I wanted to share a silly thing that only you lot would probably understand!!

I finally ditched my fat clothes! You know the ones that lurk at the back of the wardrobe, the tops you keep because they're nice but now you look ridiculously swamped and lost in, the dress that made you feel a bit more glam when you where a bit more rotund?? The baggy jeans because just in case??

They've gone, i finally did it!!

I feel like ive lost mental weight by clearing it all out today (you know what I mean, I know you do! 🤣) because its finally realising im not a size 20 any more!! 😱😆

Lots more room in the wardrobe for new clothes now! Im loving my summer dress phase at the moment! The denim shorts that were always tight, now fit lovely!

I did keep a couple of the winter jumpers but ill reassess those come winter as they're big, size 20/22 but they still had the tags on, so if I dont like those come winter, I can sell them on vinted, but to only keep those items felt like a huge relief. Ive finally let go of my size 20 self!! ❤️

Azuresky68 · 08/07/2025 19:59

Just checking back in to say I decided to jab 2 days early as I am really struggling. I remembered that Hira suggested this instead of going up in strength. Obviously in their interest if we use our pens more frequently but really felt the need for a bit of extra help.

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/07/2025 20:21

Well done @Princessandthepie. I still have some tops I need to photo and try to sell on Vinted

nothing wrong with sone extra help @Azuresky68. Hopefully that will help your hunger and urges
