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

[meatyryvita]

thread 10 already!

Thanks for the new thread @meatyryvita 🙏

Sorry for all those suffering with migraines, you really have my sympathy, and sorry you've had such a shitty week @myladyjane 💐

Good luck getting to goal for your birthday @BreezyPeer ; that would be a very sweet birthday present! 🎁

My god @HeidiNotSoHeavy , those are some impressive looking testicles figs! 😂 Very jealous of all of you with a fig tree; I absolutely love the smell when I walk past one! 👃

Very much fingers crossed, but I think I may have finally breached my plateau. Yay!
Jab 30, 7.5mg
SW: 15.13.0
CW: 11.6.2
Loss this week 2lbs

Delighted to be a smidge off 4.5 stones lost! Also feeling the lack of cushioning on these old bones though!

I've got the bonus dose for next week and then a 10mg pen, but I may count clicks and go up gradually, as I've still got this rash that just won't go away. Still don't know if it's mj related, but don't want to risk making it worse!

Wishing you all a happy weekend 😘

Amazing @mince3point14159265 - 4.5 stone is incredible! My SW was pretty much the same as yours and I can’t wait to be in your position.

Same :D I was researching next summer's holiday when we were on this one, and already have 3 other trips planned. Who wants to be the richest corpse in a cemetery anyway? We'll probably do Corsica next summer, best beaches in Europe.

In other news, dropped by local TK Maxx. Do you guys also feel like imposters when heading towards the XS/S rails? Like people are all watching and thinking that 'You? As if!'

A friend of mine was selling her fitness ball. First got a question that can she send a photo of her sitting on the ball, just to see how big it is. A bit odd, she thought, but sent one. Next question: could you also send a video of you bouncing on the ball?
Ew.

Ahhh so I got my letter in the post today. All clear! Honestly I felt jittery and anxious for about 2 hours afterwards as I calmed down. So, that’s that worry done. After about 3 months of one thing after the other either with my mum, me or my kids, all seemed ok which is great but I almost feel a bit lost which is weird.

thank you the thoughts, they really were appreciated.

Great to hear @myladyjane !

must be such a relief, @myladyjane !

That's great news @myladyjane , you must be so relieved. Hope that gives you the headspace now to deal with all the other crap!

@myladyjane great news! And . . . breathe xxx

Need a 'puke' reaction to that post @HeidiNotSoHeavy ! I have to admit I did wonder if that was the sort of interest bras would attract on Vinted; I shall go and retrieve my mind from the gutter!

Fab @myladyjane hopefully the start of brighter times.

@myladyjane So pleased your tests were clear.

Great news @myladyjane - what a relief xx

A relief @myladyjane hope you get to relax for the rest of the weekend 🩷

Fantastic news @myladyjane

@myladyjane really pleased it’s good news!

Managed to lose you all so just catching up now. I’m also another who has no bum padding and gets so uncomfortable sat down now. My arse was absolutely colossal so I genuinely can’t believe it’s small now!

My dsis told me she’s on MJ last night! So I fessed up to her that I’ve been on it too. I’m really pleased for her as we are so similar and I know it will be life changing for her too.

Moving up to 10mg tomorrow and I’m nervous for some reason but I absolutely need to do it! Hope everyone is having a great weekend despite the rain.

Great news @myladyjane.

I am not feeling much suppression after injecting 50 clicks of 10mg pen Thursday so I dosed up an additional ten clicks tonight. 🤞

Checking in, hi everyone 👋 haven’t posted for quite a while as I’ve been incredibly busy (teacher so all of the end of year bits to wrap up) but I’ve been reading when I get a minute.

I moved up to 12.5mg for my most recent pen but I’m really struggling. The suppression seems to be too much for me, I feel like I’ve completely lost all interest in food and it’s just an absolute chore to eat now. It’s making me a bit miserable to be honest- whilst I’m glad the food noise has gone, I know I’m not fuelling my body properly. Weirdly I’ve gone off all healthy foods which I love as well such as salads, veggies and fruit. Has anyone else experienced this? I don’t want to stop and go back to my old ways of eating too much but I would like to get some enjoyment from food back!

It’s been 7 days since I last jabbed and I still feel high suppression so I’m going to wait until Monday for the golden dose.

Could you go for a lower dose @millenialmolly and count clicks? Or go by the ml amount if you are extracting with a syringe.

so...post holiday weigh in and I'm down 0.5kg. However EVERY other measure has got worse in a week! Body fat and visceral fat are up, water, protein and muscle % are all down! I'm guessing that this is also down to being ill prior to holiday and spending a week in bed as well as the much more unhealthy foods over the past week. I'm really surprised at how quickly and how much they have all changed though.

@millenialmolly enjoy the summer holidays! ☀️
@MJalltheway well done on the loss! How odd about the other stats. Strange how one measurement can go down and others up xx

Thanks @BreezyPeer🤩

@MJalltheway I’m definitely going back down to 10mg for my next pen, decided to do the golden dose today as I go away a week today. Will see how many mls I get from today’s dose and may have slightly less if it’s a full dose, usually it’s just a little bit less when I’ve done it before.

Does anyone else still have a way to go? I’ve lost 3st on MJ, 4st since losing weight. To get to my target (11st 12) I need to lose another 4st but I’ve struggled to maintain that in the past, think I’m destined to have a bit more meat on my bones 😂 my ‘happy size’ has always been a size 12 on top, 14 on bottom so maybe I’ll aim for that instead of a weight.

I'm 20kg (3 stone) down with another 10kg (1.5 stone roughly) to go. I've noticed more rapid changes once i got past the 50% mark a few weeks ago. I'll never be below a size 14 but being tall and broad with big boobs that's a good slim size for me.

@millenialmolly yes certainly makes sense to aim for a size you're happy with, not a number.

@MJalltheway that is very true about the rapid changes once you're smaller. I swear a kilo lost right now makes a bigger difference than the first 10 did.

Good news @myladyjane 🥰.

@millenialmolly I still have a way to go. I’m aiming for a size 12-14 in the brands I like (Brora, Me&Em, &Other Stories, Whistles, Jigsaw) which aren’t generally cut big. Two stone to go to a 12 reckon. At almost 5’8 that’s a really healthy size for me, I don’t want to be less that a 12 at my age.

No weight loss this week despite a very sensible week, but then I’ve stalled before and at least I haven’t gained on my three week jaunt. I rarely gain on hols as I have time to be much more active than when I’m at work.

Just had 6.25mg. I’ve ordered a 7.5mg pen and will up my dose if the scales don’t start to move ⬇️.

My plan is to be the dress size I want to by December. 🤞that’s 20 weeks. Let’s see what I can do!
