good afternoon all!

has anyone noticed their tastebuds have changed? I had some crisps earlier (cheese ans onion seabrooks) and they were soooo salty. I won’t be rushing for another packet. I ate something else recently and noticed it a few times over the last couple of weeks.

Yes. I can’t do hot /spice 🙀🙀😢😢😢

like my pizza or the curry I had

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 28/07/2025 17:12

I can’t think I’ve had or wanted much hot or spicy stuff, hadn’t really thought about it! I wonder if tolerance will return afterwards?

lactulose has majorly kicked in and I can’t be far from a toilet. Don’t want to take an Imodium, but I’m close!

morbidcuriosity · 28/07/2025 18:24

11 stone 5 this morning.. Thats 7 stone 1 down, or 99lb .
now ive changed my goal so many times recently i dont know what i bloody want..

I'm happy with my weight right now but also a bit of me knows i can lose more and I kinda want to as I still have a fatty stomach.. I think maybe I need to try tone up some more..
My bmi is apparently 22.8 so in the healthy limit.
My problem is I think I'm too bloody long, most tops are too short for me like t shirts , it doesn't help i have really broad shoulders so the tops fit but not long enough.
Oh well, maintain time is here still on 10mg, I will try 7.5 soon but I have a whole 10 pen and only 2 shots into 1 as well so a while yet..

FurForksSake · 28/07/2025 18:28

@morbidcuriosity my bmi is similar and I definitely feel I could lose more. Part of me wonders whether it’s more (for me) loose skin and a need to do some toning / strengthening/ exercising to improve the look of tummy.

you’ve done incredibly! I agree it is very hard to know when the end point is.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2025 18:45

Almost 100 @morbidcuriosity. That’s amazing

think I’m 23 so happy with they. But do have flabby tummy thighs and arms
if I had an arm tuck I bet I would lose another 7lbs

i never wanted to get to 9/6 and bmi of 20

OP posts:
morbidcuriosity · 28/07/2025 19:45

I've just had a look at the bmi thing..

9 stone 3 is 18.5 so still apparently healthy.. fuck that.
10 stone is bmi 20.1 .
I think I will be happy as long as weight starts with 11 . Wanted 11 and half as top wack for me, so happy to dip down to 11 and 7lb buffer so to speak.. but there is a little bit of me that wants to see a 10.13, think that's my brain just getting carried away, but I will judge it on how I feel myself and see what the next few weeks bring, wether I lose another 1 or 2lb or maintain at what I am.. or even god forbid gain some.. lol.

NippyNinjaCrab · 28/07/2025 20:15

I love everyones posts please always stay wherever you are in this journey! Its a lifeline for me and so many. Even if I don't post, just reading is so much help.

I don't know how I feel about myself at the moment. I know we shouldn't compare but I read and see you guys with your current weights and BMI and feel I should lose more! My lowest was last Thursday at 10st 10lbs, Friday wwj was 10st 11lbs, im 5 foot 5.5 inches so rounded up to 5' 6" and BMI is 24.1. I think I've been put off by DH saying i shouldn't lose anymore but I actually would, I would like to try for 10st and a proper size 12. Even 10st 7lbs would delight me as a smaller goal then chip away, I have pilates again this Friday too.

Blondes you look fantastic!! Everyone does, ❤️❤️💓💓

FurForksSake · 28/07/2025 20:24

I think bmi is really personal. We are all going to look and feel different at different sizes. I’d like to get down closer to 8st as I feel I’m going to eventually come off and will bounce up a bit. I’m trying to give myself plenty of leeway.

as soon as my hip injection is done and settled and I’m pain free I need to build glutes, abs and back muscles so I can go into hip surgery in as good a state as possible. I also need to accept that probably means more protein and gaining a little.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2025 20:45

See I think 18 is not healthy and looking anorexic - esp on me

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2025 20:48

And on this chart which is the one I use - 20 is underweight

You are an inch shorter then me

you look way slimmer then me yet weigh more then me

Weepixie · 28/07/2025 20:55

Yes. I agree. I’ve no intention of getting to within even a stone and a half of my upper BMI because I’d be way too thin. I look great a couple of pounds away from my target of 85kgs and my blood tests tell me I’m healthy. I also have muscles because I’ve exercised for years and I’m 173 cms tall with a UK size 10 feet.

I’m now into a size 14 top and size 14 jeans and I look great, in fact in today in American Eagle another customer commented on my bottom in my new jeans and my daughters said, bloody hell mama, when I came out the changing room they’d persuaded me into with them.

I hate shopping but when I was out with my girls today I got 2 pairs of jeans and 4 tops. I enjoyed it and my girls really wanted me to enjoy myself in the shops. And I did, very much, but I’m still really looking forward to seeing my lady in Dubai in a couple of days for new things. I just really like what she puts together for me. My girls are coming as well and we’re making a weekend of it.

Azuresky68 · 28/07/2025 20:56

@NippyNinjaCrab So great to hear from you. Glad you are reading the posts but hoping you will drop in with a comment every week or so otherwise the thread will just go quiet and everyone might stop posting!! We would miss you xx
NSV today..I popped into town and tried a few things on. H&M Medium was huge! In Primark I am XS now. My BMI is 24 9. Everyone is different I guess regarding BMI and goal weight.

I don't think I look slimmer. I will take updated pics tomorrow. I always wonder whether my hip replacement is heavier than bone 🤔 😅 xxx

BMI is what it is. I don’t agree the lower ends are too skinny. It’s just a slimmer slim. I think everyone’s bodies are different and that’s why there’s a scale of healthy some people are built to be at the higher end and some at the lower. Whenever you feel happy is what’s important.

talking of thigh gaps I had some photos with the kids on a day out and looking back on the photos I was quite shocked… whose slim legs are those peeking out from my shorts 🤣

@NippyNinjaCrabthere are a lot of online companies that put together clothes packages based on your preferences etc. I’ve not used them but could be an option to build a capsule wardrobe?

NippyNinjaCrab · 28/07/2025 21:52

@Weepixie I want a lady who puts me together clothes wise 😂😂

@NippyNinjaCrab 😘, it’s great, especially when she makes them for you as well. I went to her to have my colours done and we just hit it off straight away and became friends. Over the years she’s built her job up from doing colour consultations to now have her clothing line and I love seeing how she’s gone from giving up her original high flying career in oil to this. She set the whole thing up herself bit by tiny bit and for someone like me who was overweight, horribly sad and unhappy, not very well mentally and emotionally, lived in a bit of a backwater shop wise, hated shopping (not that I could have shopped even if I loved it) she was just what I needed. Shes a real supporter of women and what’s going on inside of you is as important as what’s going on, on the outside. The first time I saw her I ended up crying for ages, the whole thing was just so therapeutic.

I’ve already chosen the material I want for my new frocks from pictures she’s sent me, and once she sees my new shape and size we’ll build my frocks. Other things I’ll get are my usual basics in my neutrals but also some in change of colours. She’ll also have some of my older dresses recut to fit me now.

I will never enjoy shop and online shopping as my only source of clothes but I did enjoy it yesterday and I’ll do a bit more often in the future.

Oh and I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be doing a French tuck into my jeans and wearing a lovely belt either. 🤣

Weepixie · 29/07/2025 03:24

@Azuresky68 - when I was out with my girls yesterday I picked up a waistcoat for one of them and said, you should try this love, AzureSky was saying they’re really on trend this season.

@Blondeshavemorefun - my butt. I was so surprised when the woman said it, and it was a huge change from being told for years, by other friendly shoppers, you should get that, it makes you look slimmer. 🤣

Picnics are my downfall. Summer hols are not my friend 😂

You could make a crustless quiche with eggs, cottage cheese and different veg eg onions, red peppers, courgettes or you can buy crustless quiches. Quorn mini picnic eggs are nice and lower calorie than sausage ones. Make a dip with Greek yoghurt, garlic salt, herbs or mint or sweet chilli sauce and a bit of light mayo? Ready chopped carrot sticks?

FurForksSake · 29/07/2025 18:43

Or just small amounts of your favourites and have super light breakfast and supper?
