I've never bought anything from Shein or Temu. I've recently bought a Laifen hairdryer and its manufactured in China. I'm tempted with Temu and some dresses for pottering about like you @Azuresky68 when I get up in the morning xx

Do it

I have brought so much from Temu for mini blondes and I clotheswise

bur also things like

hoover
garden furniture
hair straightener
lots of shoes /sandals
dog toys

this is my lastest purchase

If I don't get an email if will just go ahead and try to order because I've got my next 3 codes. I will update. Oooooh and do things take ages to come? Have you had anything that was really shit? Xxx

owlyboo · 09/07/2025 21:46

@NippyNinjaCrabit might be the things I’m ordering but honestly 70% of the stuff I’ve brought from Temu or shein has been utter dog shit. Awful fabric. Bad cuts that make the clothes look strange. But mainly the fabric… looks normal on pics but turns up shiny and awful! Just to give balance! I’ve mainly ordered shorts and t shirts.

NippyNinjaCrab · 09/07/2025 21:50

Ps, they said they didn't need any other info. X

How did it people choose between conti and taper? I’m about 7lbs off goal, I don’t really want to keep paying for 12.5 ever four weeks even with a 15% discount, but I could choose conti and try tapering down to 10 and using my pen for longer. Which would be cheaper in the long run I think?

im quite nervous for the call, no idea how long the chat is!

morbidcuriosity · 09/07/2025 22:17

@FurForksSake I choose the taper but when I spoke to Hira I said i dont want to just come down the pens each month, i want to stick with 10 for a bit then try 7.5 see how i get on, she said this was fine...

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/07/2025 22:54

How weird @owlyboo. 99% of my stuff has been fine. One dress was more crinkly fabric and I don’t iron so sent it back

things arrive 4/5 business days and easy to return if don’t like for any reason. Sometimes they say keep it anyway.

and no nothing shit @NippyNinjaCrab

Really happy with all my purchases

think I chose taper but you can swap and change

I’ve been on 7.5 and been on this week.

im tempted to buy a 10 but do 5 so double the life of pen which I know obv isn’t advised but …….

so will be much cheaper

OP posts:
owlyboo · 09/07/2025 22:57

Yeah it’s strange @BlondeshavemorefunI wonder if it’s because I’m ordering shorts/t shirts and they look cottony in pictures but aren’t at all when they arrive. Had similar when dd has asked me to order for her. But again she’s ordering similar. But good you’ve been happy!

i think that’ll be fine in the actual medicine but if you go to long without ordering because you’re double using the pen they might get funny… that would be my only worry. Obviously I’ve done it but knew I wasn’t reordering.

Azuresky68 · 09/07/2025 23:17

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/07/2025 20:52

Yes. Exactly that!! Have you got one? Is the material cottony iykwim? I love white but wondering if see through? Thanks for the link. Please show more photos of what you have ordered 🙏

poppym12 · 09/07/2025 20:51

Can I ask a question?

Do any of you still have the odd really crap day food-wise? Just picking at rubbish foods all day rather than eating a nutritious meal or overdoing the biscuits/cake/chocolate?

I've had a day like that today. Totally shite.

Definitely...you are not alone x

owlyboo · 09/07/2025 23:48

Anyone else felt such great privilege to be in our new bodies in this heat. I thought it today whilst going for a little hike in the woods. Being able to throw on a vest and shorts. Dress for the weather and not worry about your body. It really hits home that this time a year ago I was 5 and a half stone heavier, deeply self conscious and unhappy! Anyway I took a quick selfie to mark the occasion!

Auggies mj thread 15
owlyboo · 09/07/2025 23:50

And @poppym12i still eat crap, as long as you balance it out I think it’s fine. Food is food. In essence there’s no good or bad as long as you’re not eating to much of one thing. Enjoy the high calorie alongside the low calorie.

20bloodypounds · 10/07/2025 07:42

@owlyboo what a great photo, and yes it's liberating to feel abe to make choices. I've been wearing shorts, something I'd never have done previously.

@poppym12 I've had a very busy couple of weeks, out of the house every day and it's been too easy for cakes and pastries to sneak into my daily food. For me, it's OK as an occasional event, but I've found recently that the more I have sweet pastries, the more I want them. I'm back to being strict now because I want to eat healthy food (mostly) not to fill up on rubbish. I'm in maintenance and I also want to reinforce the good habits. It's about more than maintaining my weight, it's about maintaining my health and my motivation.

NippyNinjaCrab · 10/07/2025 08:43

Yes! @owlyboo its having the luxury of wearing anything and knowing it will fit AND also knowing I won't be a sweaty fat mess lugging all that extra fat baggage about. My DH hates when I talk about myself like this but its true! I do not know how I managed so many walks and hikes with the weight on. No wonder my joints were screaming. Tbh they still are but I know its nearly bone on bone at some areas 😂
I ordered some dresses from Ebay and they unravelled after one wear and one ripped when I must have snagged it on something, that's why im reluctant to purchase from China. Plus the information gathering bothers me with Temu whether I am being a paranoid android who knows.
The weather isn't as nice as the BBC app said, who do I complain to?? The 3 brats are in kibble coma so blissful peace but I need to make a move with them soon in case the scorching sun appears 😂😂🌞🌞🌞

owlyboo · 10/07/2025 08:47

Yes I was still very active when I was bigger but the pain in my knees etc was awful. I don’t hardly ever get knee pain now so was definitely made worse by the weight.

I don’t think you’re speaking negatively about yourself @NippyNinjaCrabsaying you had a lot of weight to lug around that’s just truthful. I don’t like speaking badly eg ugly/gross etc. but the facts are the facts about lugging weight around as we all were!!

looking like it’s going to be a scorcher her. About to go out for a walk before it becomes unbearable!

NippyNinjaCrab · 10/07/2025 08:47

@20bloodypounds the pastries are my total downfall and my date cake! When we came home I tried to recreate the cinnamon swirls they had on holiday, bad idea! Then we went to the farmers market and one stall had a variety of pastries and yep I got one, omg it was delish. I'm back to being mindful again. For lunch I had a choice of a brown bap with whatever filling and I had 3 cooked chicken mini fillets and a boiled egg. I do need to up my exercise, piliates tomorrow.
Its super busy here because we are on the coast and its the school holidays, tents, caravans and kids everywhere, so my usual walks are a no go.

NippyNinjaCrab · 10/07/2025 08:51

I'm going to do the same, its overcast and cooler at the moment so good for the dogs. I have noticed my joint pain increasing as my dose is negligible now. Despite Naproxen, my hip is moaning at me.

MabelSpan · 10/07/2025 09:25

@NippyNinjaCrab Temu is my new addiction and its all @Blondeshavemorefun fault! I have had some fab bits for the garden, more silicon moulds and utensils than I know what to do with and way too many summer dresses! Do be careful to read the full description about the fabric, most dresses are polyester in some form or another, I try to look for the woven poly and really zoom in on the pics to see if its that shiny weird fabric, the first dress I ordered was, but I kept it to wear in the garden.
They also give lots of discounts and freebies, but it really is a bad habit to have, so be warned!!!😂

FurForksSake · 10/07/2025 09:43

I’ve managed to get some good Temu bits for my pottery hobby, it’s great for all sorts.

Azuresky68 · 10/07/2025 10:05

This thread is great for reassurance...as a formerly fat person all my life I have always felt I was greedy and the only one who loved cakes and pastries. Thanks for the honesty here. I love Danish pastries- Cinnamon Swirls, Custard ones and Pecan ones! I think naturally slim people can just eat one pastry whereas I can easily eat 2 or 3 if not on MJ

FurForksSake · 10/07/2025 10:27

I bought myself a tape measure, I’m sure I have one some where but couldn’t locate it.

I’ve just roughly taken my measurements, 33-28-36 which puts me between an 8 and a 10. I’d ideally like to get those two inches off and be an 8, but I think if I didn’t lose any more weight I’d be pretty happy now.

FurForksSake · 10/07/2025 10:35

Oh I could definitely go to town on some things. I’ve eaten an Easter egg over the last two days. I could eat dairy milk for days.

I try hard now to buy things with natural end points instead of large bags of things. I leave packets in the kitchen and weigh out portions. I also try and remind myself that nothing tastes as good as the first bite. Once you’ve tasted and enjoyed it you don’t need ten of them. That doesn’t always work, but I find the more conscious I can be about it, the easier it is to stop. I dished myself up a huge amount of tuna mayo and coleslaw with my jacket potato yesterday. I could have finished it. But, I knew that I’d enjoyed enough and stopped with about 1/3 on my plate. It wasn’t easy but I also didn’t miss carrying on.

im going to be catching myself for life, reminding myself that blowouts have to be infrequent.

but it’s normal to enjoy something and want to keep enjoying it!
