Happy birthday @Blondeshavemorefun 🥳🥳🥳 and to your grandchild @Weepixie 🎉🎉 hope a lovely day is had😁
loved the photos of the super slimmers, amazing difference ! It’s exciting that we’ve almost got to a year! I had my first injection on 2nd August.
After my 2 lbs on after my holiday, I’ve lost 4lbs this week which is unusual for me. So now 8st 6lbs and bmi 23, feel thrilled. Trying to get to 8stones as I’m still a bit chubby round the waist even taking into account loose skin.

Absolutely brilliant news about your loss! Wondering whether I can go down to 8 stone too..but mycstomach is already baggy with no hope of toning after 2 C sections and age 69 now 😱

Azuresky68 · 19/07/2025 11:02

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/07/2025 10:06

Oh my goodness. Thank you all so much for the lovely birthday wishes

been spoilt so far. Mini blondes decorated downstairs bless her with balloons and presents and made me breakfast in bed. She’s 8. I’m so lucky 💖💖

That's so lovely 😍

Thanks @Azuresky68 😊 I’m not looking for toning, that ship has sailed 😅 just to get rid of as much fat as I can. Also 3 c-sections and can’t exercise due to disability . I’ve been strict this week coming back from holiday with what I’ve eaten but it’s felt good to feel I can get rid of holiday gains and I’ll hopefully feel less anxious about gains next time I’m away. Although I am on 15mg still 🙈 I appreciate being on the group which also has those who’ve got to goal and maintaining as it’s good to hear of the highs and lows of that.

PoemsForTea · 19/07/2025 11:53

Happy happy birthday @Blondeshavemorefun- mini blondes sounds brilliant!!

FurForksSake · 19/07/2025 11:58

Aww happy birthdays, victories and general loveliness. What a nice thread.

weather here is absolutely rubbish, but could be worse.

I have a massive vat of chilli in the instapot for the freezer, I used frozen soffrito and managed to stand long enough for it to come together.

this afternoon we are baking for the freezer, I may be directing from the sofa. I have bought all the stuff but forgot that I am laid up and can’t just spend six hours stood in the kitchen!! The idea is the kids and dh will have a freezer drawer of homemade treats to choose from as an afternoon snack over the holidays. Everything will be small and no leftovers to eat up so I’m hoping it helps keep snacking and costs down. It’s so tempting to buy some cake and then it gets eaten by then because it’s there. Frozen it will last for months.

NippyNinjaCrab · 19/07/2025 15:09

I love chilli, its one of my all time fave meals. DH is making a curry tonight, I made a date and walnut loaf last night and I've had the end of it today yum, all crispy and then soft. I'm having a wee flare which has included the herpes lips lol, I look like I've had lip filler gone Pete Tong haha! It's coming to an end now thank feck but I am making the most of lounging today. DH is at the football now but he is due home about 6pm. The dogs were bundled into the van at 6am and they had a ball at the beach this morning with him. I think MJ has given him a boot 👢 up the arse haha, he also went for dog food, the butchers, Morrisons, cut the grass, hung a washing out, hoovered, brought a washing in and folded and cleaned the cab of his pick up ffs!! I'm like wtaf has happened to you? he says I don't know and laughs. He's normally a Kit Kat kind of man, always taking a break! 😆😆

Makelikeatreeandleaf · 19/07/2025 15:20

Happy birthday blondes! How lovely of mini blondes to make such a fuss. Hope you have a great day.
Some amazing updates and photos. Well done to all 😍
I'm still plodding on. I don't think I'll get to target by my 1 year anniversary - I've got 29 days and 13lbs to go - but I'm off on holiday in 2 weeks and feeling so much more confident. Still a couple of pounds to top of healthy BMI, but the bikini has been bought and WILL be worn!

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/07/2025 22:04

Thank you all. Been lovely day. Eaten too much and hope won’t be sick

well done mr crab 😂

Glad you had a happy birthday @Blondeshavemorefun and everyone else is doing well. Can't believe its been nearly a year since we all changed our lives!

Azuresky68 · 20/07/2025 09:21

Happy Sunday everyone!

@Blondeshavemorefun Glad you had a great birthday. I hope you weren't sick?

Popping up to say I jabbed on Tuesday and I am really hungry this morning 😱

3 pounds to get back to my preferred weight then going to try and really maintain as I haven't any celebrations or holidays until the end of September.
I have been counting calories but been eating some treats eg small packet of crisps, slice of Swiss roll but feel a bit guilty. Guess we need to build in a few small treats or it's a bit grim 😬

Can anyone give me a link to a reliable calculator for working out my maintenance calories please? I know it's around 1350 due to height and age...not much really is it?

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/07/2025 12:14

No I am fine. Just really tired at the moment but that I guess due to anaemia

def have to have some treats @Azuresky68

I hit my 11.6 this week which is fab.. about to start my 4th 10mg pen gonna stick with 10 for a little while before I try to come back down ,
I'm happy with 11.6, also happy to lose a few more if it happens, but under 11 and half is what I wanted to be..

When i started I thought just a weight in the 12s would be right but then I went further, I honestly don't think I will see a 10 but you never know..
Cant actually believe I've lost 7 stones in 11 months.

FurForksSake · 21/07/2025 13:11

I’ve randomly put on 2lbs. I’m a bit constipated, but done nothing differently aside from trying to do more of my physio exercises. I’m taking more oramorph so wondering if it is constipation, I’m going to try taking lactose for a few days. At least these days I know not to pay too much attention to these fluctuations and to just keep going and tracking.

I bought two pairs of size 8 jeans in the next sale, they fit! I’ve also bought a new bra, 32c and it fits well. Down from a 38b.

Hi everybody!

I havent been on here for ages and was amazed to see there was 100+ posts!
I havent been able to read and remember all of them, sorry.

All the photos are incredible, you all look amazing! And the bits I skimmed seem to show so many of you are now maintaining or getting close to goal, well done you lot!
To those who still have a way to go, me too! We will get there, of that I have no doubt.

I hit a little milestone today as my BMI is now 29.9! Hard to believe I am no longer obese, just fat, now to plod on and get the last 43.4lbs off! Easy huh! 😉

FurForksSake · 21/07/2025 14:54

Amazing milestone! Well done!

lookathatbookcase · 21/07/2025 16:48

Checking in for Monday. My NSV today has been fitting into size 14 clothing, down from a size 18 a year ago :) Very happy with that. I've also signed up for some more weight-lifting classes over the summer so aware that my losses might slow if I'm (hopefully) building up muscle.

I had a weekend away by the sea, and managed to balance eating everything I wanted to - fish and chips, ice-cream, etc - in amounts + meal planning that all worked out. Really nice to be able to do that and have a sense of how to balance it all.

Also went out to Holland & Barrett to buy marine collagen + L-tyrosine + some multivits with magnesium in top up my other supplements (electrolytes, clear whey, Berocca). Have been feeling much more tired and low this past month which might be any of bad sleep from the heat, perimenopause, who knows?? But I want to make sure I'm doing as much for my energy levels as I can.

Hope everyone has a lovely week!

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/07/2025 19:48

Well done @morbidcuriosity. That’s amazing

I’m struggling with what bra size I am

i did the a. DS that fits and got 32d. One actually fitted

I got others and tight and deflated spaniel ears bulging over the cup size

I just don’t know what size I am some of my old 36d fit ok tho slightly loose so am I 34d ?

Weepixie · 21/07/2025 20:36

hi there, the rule of thumb is that if your band size is too big you go down one, but then go up a cup size. So a band size 38 that’s too big would become a band size 36 and a d cup would become a dd. You’d go from a 38d to a 36dd.

Then If a band size 38d was too small you’d go up to a 40 then go down a cup size - you’d then be in a 40c.

Also what kind of support do you like, also cup shape, wired, non wired?

NippyNinjaCrab · 21/07/2025 21:28

I'm the same re the bras and deflated boobs. My m&s bras are 36dd and im comfortable with them in the second or 3rd hooks but the cups are gaping at the top. I did the boob and bust measurements and it said I would be a 36e and another site said an f cup ffs. No way am I that big a cup. I got strapless bras for holiday not padded but under wired and they fitted beautifully. 36dd and from next. I've stuck to bra tops because I have no clue what to get.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/07/2025 22:37

Thanks @Weepixie

i will have a fiddle

I was 40e in some styles and I have lovely boobs. Sobs

now deflated sacks 🙀🙀😢😢

under my boobs I think I measured 32in

so am I 32e even tho I have no real boobs but flesh

OP posts:
Weepixie · 21/07/2025 22:58

Blondes - try the 32e.

put the bra on and bend forward into it. Then once you’ve done that stand up and put a hand into each cup to position your boob into the cup properly. Get them sitting nicely then make sure the joint in the middle of the cups is sitting flat against your sternum. You should also make sure nothing is hanging out the sides. Also the support in your bra should come from the band and not the straps as people mistakenly think. My boobs are like deflated balloons now and I’ve gone from being a 38g to a 36gg which probably seems daft now my boobs aren’t so full.

I recently spent a lot of time in a Markies changing room trying things on myself after a disastrous fitting at Bravissimo and what I found was - when something isn’t fitting you well cup wise, don’t automatically change your cup size, try different cup shapes instead.

I’ve gone from wearing sturdy underwired full cup specialist bras to now wearing non wired full cup bras from Markies. They’re not much to look at, they’re very much like the Triumph Doreen of years ago and they come in a box. Not hanging up on the rail looking all sexy. Anyway, despite now having deflated balloons for breasts, my boobs look absolutely fabulous in these bras and I find myself looking at my very nice shape when I pass a mirror.

FurForksSake · 21/07/2025 23:17

Such good advice! All of these new adventures to have in our new bodies.

Same here but a pretty well fitted bra does wonders and when the time comes an all in one sexy lace body is a confidence booster!
