Feel free to lurk or post, absolutely no judgement here, just support and encouragement as we list old clothes on vinted, give thanks for MJ as we enjoy a far more comfortable Summer significantly lighter. We now wear ALL the damn shorts 💪🏻

Join us here to celebrate NSV’s, weight loss milestones, maintenance and our lowest stone brackets!

I’m on W35 D2 and on my fourth 7.5mg pen
F in my early 50’s
H 5’ 5.5”
SW 13st 11lb
CW 9st 10.6lbs
GW 9st 7lb
Total loss so far 56.4 lbs

We recommend the Shotsy app to monitor the amount of MJ in the system and pleasing graphs to look at…plus the MeThreeSixty body scan app to monitor inch loss for the weeks where weight loss is slow but you might have lost body fat etc. Both are free.

Feel free to swap recipes that might inspire anyone in a food rut, tips for managing side effects, exercise tips, tips for maintenance, titrating up or down and we love a wellness/supplements/beauty/ style chat too 🥰

oh I bet you looked fab! Well done on the loss… Shame you had the bug, I remember the little kid days, they’re just a flipping petri dish of viruses, aren’t they?

End of week weigh in for me… 132.4lbs… A grand total of 0.2 lbs off this week. However, I did have a midweek impromptu boozy dinner with STBDH… And an unofficial hen lunch yesterday with my two oldest friends (much wine was consumed) so I think the old Rose diet has come into play. 😂 going to try and stay sensible at the weekend, as I’d like to be 130.0.lbs for the wedding as it seems like a nice round Number 😆

Weighing in.

I'm two pounds up this week. Hopefully that's the pad thai and cocktails from last night rather than a proper gain 😬🍹🍜

My abdomen doesn't feel quite right still but much better than it has, so I'm going to jab 2.5 tonight and see how that goes.

Hope you feel better soon.

Your dinner sounds fab!

No loss for me this week, not too disheartened as this is the first week for a while with no loss.

I saw my neighbour yesterday who stopped me to say I was looking well, I had a brief moment of dread as my mind instantly went to thinking she was gently asking if I was pregnant before my brain caught up and realised I haven't seen her for a while and I'm 5st down!

They really are!

Ha love it!

Isn’t interesting how everyone says ‘you look well’ when they really mean ‘you look thinner’.

Yes I got a lot of you look well at a family party last week - I think they mean you looked bloody awful last time we saw you 😁

Well done losers, even a tiny loss is a loss.

The bounce up from my low I’ve been battling for a couple of weeks was gone this morning. I’m still a tiny bit away from being in the 12s, maybe tomorrow…

I’ve been able to eat more this week, which seems to have helped, getting protein in and feeling less tired. I hope this level of suppression and quiet remains.
4 weeks til my holiday, I am going to skip a couple of doses for it, as much because I don’t want the side effects, as that I want to be able to eat (and drink). I’ve been back and forth on it in my head and could change my mind again but I’m really feeling I need a break, see how my self control is, see how well I can listen to myself.

It would be nice to get 2kg off by then as that would put me just under 80kg which feels like a good break point.

Hope everyone has a good weekend, I’m off to Edinburgh tomorrow for the fringe. Just for the day.

Oh and whoever mentioned the 80s salad the other week. I had the m&s ham and egg salad which came with a sachet of salad cream for lunch today, it was brilliant.

Happy Friday death jabbers! Need to catch up on all your fab news properly but just checking in after my monthly trip to London. Wanky salad devoured and many, many steps done!

I have a cheeky day off today so went for my Botox appointment. Not had it done since January, so the shock on my aestheticians face was a picture! She totally caught me off guard though and immediately asked "how much weight have you lost? Did you do it with Mounjaro?" 😱 And I couldn't lie! If she'd asked how I'd done it or if I'd used WLI, I would have been fine but because she actually asked about mounjaro i was totally off guard....but turns out the physio that works in the same practice is on mounjaro, so probably top of mind for her. Yikes!

No paranoid the whole town will know lol

I shouldn’t worry @SerenePeer . I told my dentist, she said lots of her patients are on it and she asks everyone who comes in thinner MJ or Ozempic? Most respond straight away with MJ😂.

Ha! That does make me feel a bit better actually! Thank you @Pumpkinforever

Getting close to the big day 🍾. A few extra Pvolve sessions should just about get you over the line 💪🏻

I had my gait analysed today and then purchased expensive trainers for my C25K starting in a few weeks

@MagnoliaTreePetals sounds as though it will be a BMI klaxon for you next week 💪🏻🤞🏻

Have fun in Edinburgh! 2kg in 4 weeks is definitely achievable - you can do it!

I always think that too! And also wonder why I was so blind to how awful I looked!

Oooh cocktails and pad thai - yum! I went to Swift Soho this week with colleagues and thoroughly enjoyed a swanky London cocktail

Well done @lovealongbath 20% of your weight is such a great milestone👏

Love it! Although I must admit I avoid a jumpsuit after a near death experience in a train loo with electric doors following a few too many cocktails 😳

That's a lot of guinae pigs! Fantastic job @pumpkinforever

Ooh much prefer your picnic @magnoliatreepetals! 🍓

A couple of satisfying poos and you'll be there @Mounjaropen!

Right off to dig through the archives and find out about the snail magic cream!

@Invisablepanic @random223 I met up with some cousins after losing 3 stone (7 still to go) and I got asked twice in separate conversations if I was well - which I translated as “are you life threateningly ill?” !!! Maybe being told you look well isn’t so bad…. 😂
