Hello all,
How is everyone doing? The weather is really changing. It's getting dark so early. I know it happens every year... the leaves are falling off the trees and the mornings are so Autumnal now! Friday looks nice, though?
@fourquenelles Lovely to read your update and what an incredible loss! Let us know how Wegovy goes?
@LumionaMoonsplash Congratulations on reaching a healthy BMI - SO happy for you. You must feel so at home in yourself now. You deserve all the happiness. Honestly, the clothes shopping is just the best! It's so freeing to find something you actually like, knowing it will fit, and not because you just have to buy it because that's the only option you have. Happy for you. Yes, I am FUCKING FREEZING! I've been freezing since October. It's been my only side effect, really.
@DeltaAlphaDelta79 Congratulations on the loss! Ah not long until your goal! Are you going to space the 10mg out or just stop after 4/5 doses? 15mg was very weird for me, too.
@Fizzleawayyy1 Frigging amazing loss, well done you. Have you been to the gala yet? What did you wear? My husband is moaning about the heating being on. He's boiling, I'm freezing. This time a year ago it was the opposite way around! The car is another battle, I want the heating on, he wants the air con!
@HappyNewt Hope the celebrations were fun! I've not been to a wedding in so long. I could do with going to one now so that I could dress up! I am a big believer in daily weighing, for myself anyway. As soon as I stop weighing daily, it all goes a bit awry. STS is good, in a way. It sounds like you have everything under control. Enjoy the gym!
@Histoscientist I'm ok, thank you. Shopping spree sounds lovely. Last few lbs are the hardest. I haven't really considered Wegovy, only because apparently its not as 'good'. I am interested to hear from anyone that decides to switch. EL can shove it up their arses!
@EVK Oh god! Don't panic. You're aware of it - that's the first step. In times gone by, I would ignore any weight gain, not weigh, and pretend it wasn't happening. Recognising what is happening gives you the chance to rectify it. I would track every single morsel that entered my mouth, if I was you. Weigh daily. Work out your BMR and TDEE. Track the fuck out of it.
I'm still maintaining about 8st/BMI 19. Two doses down of 10mg pen. I've noticed a big of hunger recently, which has been perturbing. I've started tracking stuff just to keep an eye on it. Sometimes, when I want to eat something, I add it to the tracker... see the potential damage and NOPE - it makes me stop.
I'm slightly stressed at the moment. It's Rosh Hashanah next week and we are hosting. Lots of stuff to organise, shop for, plan... I also haven't seen these people for a year. They are going to be shocked. I don't look like the same person. They will all be very nice if they do mention it, I'm sure - but it's still on my mind. I still don't really know what to say when people mention my weight loss. I don't really want to talk about it.
Long term plan - stay on Mounjaro. I know that if I stop, all the shit comes back. I am wary of going down the doses and ending up at 2.5. 2.5 seems rather pointless. Maybe, if I maintain for a year I could potentially trial coming off? I don't know. History tells me I will just balloon again. My body just isn't wired properly, I fear.
Anyway, must go! Love to all.
@TheChosenTwo You ok?
@Mincepieinthesky Are you ok?
@lapuf Everything ok with you?
@recklessgran Thinking of you.
