Checking in Losers

Hello losers! Xx

Checking in with a weigh in. I’ve lost track of weeks on my new regime though.

1.2lbs lost this week taking me to 9st 1.2 BMI 22.5. 1.2lbs to goal. I did drop as low as 9st 0.8 this week but not for long.

Thanks for the new thread. 😘

👋

Thank you @meatyryvita

I'm on day 3 of a migraine 😭 at least it is now mild and it is keeping me away from food. I feel too nauseous.
I was considering going up a bit on dose on Monday but I think I will stick to 2.5 for another week. My weight is up and down daily but is still within maintenance.

I've been offline for a few days as I was away with work at a hotel in London (our office is in London but being away from the day-to-day of work allowed us to do what we needed).

I'm rather glad that the veggie food was rubbish as it meant that I didn't overdo it. One day my lunch was risotto (too many carbs!) but had no flavour whatsoever! No cheese, no garlic, no nothing. It was kind of rice flavoured I guess! I had a few spoons and that was it. The next day it was roasted cauliflower and pesto (honestly, would it kill someone to give a veggie a bit of protein?!?). One night we did have tiramisu (a favourite) and so I did have a good few spoons but didn't finish it.

Checked in yesterday and I'd lost 1.8lbs last week, so I'm rather happy with that after a pretty much STS week before.

30th Jan SW: 15.10
CW: 12.2.8
GW: 9.10

I am still astonished at how flat (and baggy) my arse is - I've always had plenty of junk in my trunk and so I am working on firming it up!

Have a great weekend losers!

Thanks for the new thread @meatyryvita 🫶

Checking in.

@meatyryvita vegetarian food choices are so often poorly thought out and overpriced. I get totally miffed at spending the same for a slice of roasted cauliflower as others do for a meat dish.

@whyamisuddenlygettingolder I think you should be ok with your old pen. I think the advice was as long as it isn’t expired (as in the date on the pack expired) or the liquid cloudy then it’s ok? Did you say it was refrigerated?

I’m very annoyed - new pen due to be delivered today. Bloody DPD sent a text as I sat in my house saying ‘sorry you weren’t in’
clicked on the link and they posted a photo of the wrong bloody house 😡
So now my pen will be sitting in a hot van for another 24 hours because the driver couldn’t tell the different between a 6 and a 9.

That’s so annoying @DGonMJ!!

Yeah my arse has vanished @meatyryvitaI wanted it to shrink, not disappear. Plus it’s really painful sitting on non cushioned seating now.

Not refrigerated 😬 but I have made it through the day with no ill effect, so I think I’m ok! I am a panicker and usually very much a rule follower 😅

Exactly! I can feel my coccyx so easily - sitting on a bloody conference-style chair for two days was not great - I had to keep getting up and walking around to get some pain relief.

@meatyryvita I hear you! No arse, chairs are so uncomfortable. And my waist looks wider now that hips are smaller, not too happy about the rectangular look. Clearly more glute training needed.

And no boobs - but does open a lot of new clothing options that I wasn't able to wear before. Wrap dresses, I've bought several - before they were all shouting 'here's my chest, the rest is coming!' but they are very flattering now. And while I won't go for a full on turtleneck, a bit higher U and slash necks are not bad at all.

S’up. It’s hips for me. I am a side sleeper and it’s quite unpleasant

Checking in from holiday! Thanks for the new thread @meatyryvita

I have eaten what has been placed in front of me on the plane and anywhere else (well roughly half of it) and tonight's dinner was crisps as we got here very late.

Decided not to do my jab on Thursday, and have brought it with me - thinking of doing it halfway through next week instead. I didn't want too much suppression, so just playing around with it a little to see what happens.

Ah I foresee a little disturbance in my weight loss journey. I have a fig tree in my garden and they are ripe. And some massive whoppers we have this year. I always try to count them as fruit and therefore healthy, but let's be honest, they're pure jam, aren't they.

@meatyryvita my (fat) arse was always one of my selling points 🤣 its pretty much disappeared and I really can't sit as long as I used to. So . . . Unexpected uptick in activity I guess 😂

@myladyjane every bit of bone is new to me! It's so strange- I didn't realise how much comfort my padding was bringing me
@HeidiNotSoHeavy if its growing on a tree it's going to be much more better than worse! ( I reckon anyway!)
@Thelittlestranger figuring out what to do about jabbing on holiday is all new isn't it? You want that perfect balance of just enough suppression, no side effects and no gain when you get home 😀
Enjoy your break 🌞
@Jins great loss and so close to goal!

Another nsv for me this evening. Out with friends and one of them ( when we were alone for a moment) asked me if I'd lost 'a shed load of weight!' I confirmed I had 🤣🤣

Look at the size of figs. But fruit, right? Wouldn't even count towards our daily allowance according to some weight loss programmes

@HeidiNotSoHeavy they are monstrous! In a really really good way! Xxx

@tinyemmy thanks for the well wishes and I will look at getting a frio, I'll see how many weeks I expect to have left to take away with me as I think it will be my last pen anyway, although starting to read the maintenance stories is making question how it will go once I'm fully stopped. I've definitely made changes to what and how I eat, but how will I get on once the real hunger feelings return?
Also hope you're migraine has cleared

And thanks too @PenelopePerseveres yes it's fab knowing... I've done it?! (Or will have done in a couple of days). I don't know if I can ever remember a weight loss where I got to my goal?

@DGonMJ I can understand frustration at your (minor) gain, but a good reminder that our bodies do fluctuate even when we're eating and living to plan, and not to see it as failure.

@HeidiNotSoHeavy enjoy the figs! Omg the size of them!! I've bought my first tree this year, plus a cutting which I have rooted, so it's going to be a good few years before I have any to harvest but the thought of having them there in the garden is fantastic!

@BreezyPeer @myladyjane im noticing a big difference in my collar bones/upper ribs... I didn't know I even had them before!
