January 2025 Starters - Thread 10 - Onward & Downward Losers!

[meatyryvita]

thread 10 already!

I have just purchased my 3rd set of bras in the past 6 months 🙄 Now a 32F. I'm not intending to lose anymore so I hope these ones will stay with me for a while...

@discov Agree. We are all badasses. I love badass women.

Wow @Thelittlestranger that’s a lot of bras. I could do with some new jeans in a 16 but don’t want to spend much, was it on here that someone suggested Sainsbury’s? Might have a look tomorrow as there’s one near work.

@discov that’s amazing progress, well done.

I did another 15 clicks so am on 7.5 for the first time. I think I need to buy some syringes where you attach a new needle to inject after withdrawing it from the pen. Has anyone used those? I was put off using the extra dose by struggling to push the syringe needle through my skin last time I used the bonus dose. It was definitely quite blunt.

I don’t feel any different yet.

I’ve bought these and the corresponding syringes, thanks for the kick up the bum I needed re wasting the extra in my pen 🙏 lol.

£1.25 per syringe and two needles delivered. Bargain really isn’t it.

Been trying on my holiday clothes today. So happy that I can now fit back in my size 10 denim shorts 😊

Hi guys, haven't posted in a while but had a bit of a disaster after going up to 15mg 2 weeks ago. Baring in mind I went all the way to 12.5 with very little if any symptoms...

Firstly, my energy was on the floor but I also think I was not drinking enough. Then my period started and it felt extra heavy. Between the two I was really exhausted. This was the start of the week but I'd majorly increased water and electrolytes and started to feel better towards the end of the week... then my partner bought me back a galaxy on Friday night and I ate the lot. Well.... let's just say I was sick all weekend 😭 I've never felt worse! as a result I just couldn't jab again (jab was due Sunday) I felt so weak and wasn't hungry at all. I just kept saying I'd jab when I felt better but I was scared to after how 15 had treated me 🙈 the suppression I didn't get the week I actually jabbed seemed to kick in so I had a week off and yesterday morning I jabbed 10mg because I'm scared 🙈
I feel okay but my period has arrived AGAIN (10 days after the last) so I have no idea what is going on. I haven't weighed since last week where I lost 3.5lb but that was no surprise due to how ill I was 🙈

@PenelopePerseveres I'm sure I have at least one pair of size 16 jeans in my to-be-Vinted pile, happy to send them to you if you'd like (and if I can find them!) I've started listing things this weekend so I can go through the pile later and see if I can dig them out?

Posted on the previous thread by mistake!
week 30
SW 18st 10
CW 13 stone
GW 9st 5 ( I’m just 5’2” so even that’s just in “ normal” zone!)
which means I need to lose half my starting weight. I’ve done a third but still 3 and a half stone to go. I’m hoping to be there by the end of the year!

@MJalltheway thank you, that’s very kind of you I don’t want to put you to the trouble when I expect that I’ll try six pairs on and none will fit properly. I also need black straight leg so I can wear them on a particular site at work.

I did go into Next last week and try three pairs on. One was ok but only OK and £48! When did jeans from Next cost fifty quid.

Feeling ok on 7.5mg this morning. 88.2kg which is still 800g up on last week.

Happy Monday losers, stay out of the 💨 if you’re where the storm is.

@PenelopePerseveres I am strangely attached to Tu Jeans from Sainsbury's! I hope they fit you as well as they do me. I have used them as my NSV measurement, I've gone from size 18 to size 12 this year! Xx

Morning Losers!

I’m back in the game on the suppression front. Made roast lamb yesterday because I’m clearing my freezer and it felt like autumn. I took a very small portion and couldn’t finish it! It’s been a while since I’ve felt like my appetite has been suppressed.

Going to have a pottering day today. I’m partway through a good sort out so need to carry on while the momentum is there.

Good morning all.

Achieved my first GW this morning.
133 lbs 🥳
I’ve lost 63lbs in just under seven months.
I still want to lose another 7lbs to give myself some room for maintenance going forwards but I’m so happy.
I never would have done this without MJ. It’s been completely revolutionary for me. I know the hard work will start once I start titrating down but I’m actually excited for it.

Thank you for allowing me to tag along on this journey with you all. You’ve been a real constant throughout the whole process.

Good luck for the week ahead all.

SW 196lbs
CW 133lbs
1st GW 133lbs achieved 🎉
2nd GW 126lbs

Sorry to hear you've gone through all that @sociallydistained 😢. Please be careful tinkering around with the jabs if it's making you feel so unwell. Have you spoken to your provider to get some advice? Hope things pick up for you.🤞

Fantastic loss @spanieleyes ! Well done!! Life feels so much better without all that extra weight, doesn't it?! 😄

And huge congratulations @SteveHarringtonsHair on reaching your goal! 🎉👏🥳 It's great having others on here showing that maintenance can be done. All the naysayers that say we'll put it all back on can bugger off! 😂

Have fun with the sorting @Jins ; I really need to do the same!

My NSV is I treated myself to some new exercise wear with the 25% discount at Sweaty Betty, as I was fed up with my leggings pooling around my legs! 🤣 Took a gamble on sizes but they fit! I've gone from an XXL to an M in leggings, yay!

@SteveHarringtonsHair huge congratulations!! 🥳

Well done @SteveHarringtonsHair 💃that’s fabulous.

I’m struggling to eat at all today, I forced a protein yogurt down for lunch but that’s it. I’ll try to eat something else later and have had tons of water but 😑.

Congratulations @SteveHarringtonsHair on reaching goal! 🙌

last week of holiday here before back to work next week, quite looking forward to it. Spent HOURS at the weekend trying to untangle a bit of a mess for MIL - she got a new computer and didn't know the password for any of her online accounts and the recovery info on all of them was late-FILs email and phone number. 🤨
DH is entirely hopeless with IT stuff whereas it's what I do for a living yet he still felt the need to chip in with 'helpful' hints. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@MJalltheway but have you tried to restart? [ducks and hides]

😡😡😡

😂

Congratulations @SteveHarringtonsHair!!!!

@spanieleyes thats incredible, well done!!

@SteveHarringtonsHair 🎉massive congratulations to you, amazing!

@sociallydistained oh god that sounds rough, hope you feel better soon.

@Thelittlestranger i need a bra fitting, I’ve managed to make do with some old ones I had plus the cheapest one I bought after my virtual fitting but I’ve got a real life Bravissimo appt a week on Friday so hoping to get some which will last as pretty much at goal now give or take a few pounds. My boobs are v shrivelled and droopy 😳.

On the Tu jeans front, I’ve got a 14l pair of barrel jeans which no longer fit and also happy to post to anyone who can make use of them, just shout!

GOAL🏅! Yay well done @SteveHarringtonsHair! Welcome to maintenance!

@PenelopePerseveres sounds like the higher dose is working, but hope you’re ok and managing to get some nutrition down you.

@spanieleyes over 5 stone loss! that’s an amazing achievement, well done! 🏅

@sociallydistained sorry you’ve struggled with moving up. Hope things settle down for you now you’ve come back down.

Excellent NSV @mince3point14159265 I’ve just ordered a ‘small’ maxi-dress from Fabletics after being an XL/L so we’ll see if it fits when it arrives. My L leggings are all quite loose around the waist, but I still have sturdy thighs to hold them up, so no chance of them falling down just yet.

well done on fitting back into your old denim shorts @Boohoo76

I’m rescuing large dresses by adding a belt to them. Doesn’t work on all my dresses, but on quite a few. So I’m thinking to buy a couple more belts, to increase options.

You're very brave going for the fitting @2025istheyeari ! I really need to too, but mine look like Magda's from There's Something About Mary, but without the tan! 😱 Not sure I can subject anyone to try to measure them! 🤣

@DGonMJ thanks, l don’t think I’ve felt like this before. Closing the day on 585 calories after a San Pelligrino blood orange drink just now. Tomorrow is another day. I don’t feel unwell, slightly queasy at times. I just can’t face much food. Is this how other people feel? Not sure how sustainable this is tbh.

Lots of different progress points here 🏆. My bust has never been particularly ample, I think I can hold off a bit before I spend on bras.

was visiting my home country for a long weekend. Not huge amounts of eating by any means but have somehow managed to gain a kilo. Well hopefully just water retention, will see what happens when I'm back to my usual regime.

@PenelopePerseveres I definitely had larger suppression when I moved up to 7.5. It did settle down for me though after a few days, and after each jab it was never as much as the first few at that level. Lots of water + I also was having collagen in my drink which gave me more protein (still am) and I made sure I always ate something at lunch and dinner.

Thank you @Thelittlestranger . It’s a bit of a surprise tbh. Mind you I am just a smidge over my lowest weight a couple of weeks ago …. overnight!

I’m sure your gain will disappear in a day or two @HeidiNotSoHeavy.

I listened to the radio this morning and they were talking about NICE suggesting support for 12 months for people coming off WLI. I found the language used 🫤, ‘piling’ the weight back on as an example. I’m probably being unreasonable but the tone was that we’re all just greedy 🐽.
