Happy 1st birthday to us all - somewhere in this month we gathered our courage and started what would be a memorable journey for us all - made some hopefully forever friends

Gather round my little auggies 😍 and we are all doing amazingly so be proud of yourselves

the amount of weight per person lost varies from 1-2stone - 3-4 - 5-6 - 7+

in a year or for some 11-11.5mths - I was middle of August - we have totally changed our body shape - reduced our bmi and weight and hopefully improved our health

some are at goal - and working out how to maintain

some nearing it

some still have weight they want to lose

Some have stopped for cost / various reasons and blowing baby dust your way to those who are ttc

but ALL of us have lost weight and I love the fact we are all so supportive to each other over weight and our general day to day lives

maybe if brave - post your before and after pics to see how far we have come in a year

WW day. Down to 8 st 9.5 pounds so it's a 2 pound loss this week and 2.5 to get back to where I was at target. Just shows if I stick to calories I can do it. I was still hungry on 12.5 though.
Had a busy week so not had time to see my other half since Monday. He said he wanted take me out for a meal when I see him tomorrow, which was really nice so I dont want to say no. Guess I will have to try and reframe my attitude and not see going out for a meal as an excuse to go off the rails.

On Monday I am out at a friend's for a get together and nibbles.
Got friends staying with me next week for 5 days. Again this is not an excuse to have 5 girlie days of drinking and eating! One of then doesn't drink alcohol and the other friend has been on the MJ journey with me since last August so no excuse
But all these events are so linked to treats and an excuse to eat and drink which is why I was obese this time last year!
But I am not obese anymore so with MJ I can stay slim for the first time in my life.
Good luck to everyone and happy weekend 😊

MabelSpan · 01/08/2025 10:43

Happy 1st MJ anniversary everybody!

Thanks for keeping the threads going @Blondeshavemorefun you are fab!

FurForksSake · 01/08/2025 10:58

Good morning! Marking my place.

Motnight · 01/08/2025 11:12

Thank you @Blondeshavemorefun.

One year on - 87 lbs down for me. Doesn't seem quite real.

We must have lost 1000s of lbs between us 😯

FurForksSake · 01/08/2025 11:30

Definitely! I do wonder if there will be any impact on the health of the nation from wli, it will be very interesting.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/08/2025 12:00

Well done @Azuresky68. It does work if you count calories

awww shucks @MabelSpan. Most welcome

yes @Motnight sure we have reached the 1000lb mark between us

WWJ - I’ve lost another lb. I’m not trying. I’m lowered doseage. Eating 600c more a day. Don’t hate me

2 lbs off 7s loss now

mini blondes and I go away on holiday after the weekend so I’m guessing it’s good as sure will gain with nearly 2w away - so if I gain half a stone I’m still under my ideal weight

FurForksSake · 01/08/2025 13:39

You’re definitely giving yourself a good holiday buffer!

did they work out the cause of your anaemia?

Glittermoonlight · 01/08/2025 14:44

1 year!!🎉🍾🥂Congratulations everyone- wherever you are on this journey!

I didn’t start until the end of August, but find it hard to believe that this time a year ago I was 75lbs heavier, & had pretty much given up on ever being thin again.
Sorry I didn’t comment on the last thread. I’m still on MJ, just about to move down to 2.5mg, then at the end of August, a whole year from when I started, will come of it totally & see how I go. I’m still managing to maintain, some weeks go up a lb or 2 then other weeks go back down again. I haven’t counted calories for several months now, my appetite definitely has increased, but I’m very aware of portion size, & can be quite strict with myself with not eating too many treats. I’m much better at limiting myself now. My clothes look better, I feel better physically, I can never go back to being obese again.
The last year has been truly life changing for me, as I’m sure it has been for every single one of us. I’m very proud of how much we’ve all achieved🥰

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/08/2025 15:17

hi @Glittermoonlight lovely to hear from you - I was middle of August and like you never thought I would be slim again or maybe would lose a stone or so

never expected to lose almost 7s

But obv needed to - you know my views. When I look back at my pic for it and other photos I was a FF 😛

anyway I shall start it off and maybe all will post as well

be proud of what we have achieved

Tattoo went well! Absolutely love it and was the least painful tattoo I’ve ever had. The woman was so gentle and optimised how she did it to minimise having to continually keep going over parts. Basically did all work on each area all in one go so she didn’t have to keep going back when you’re tender.

FurForksSake · 01/08/2025 17:22

Sounds like an excellent tattoo experience! I’m sure we’d love a peek at some point. Nosey!

Glittermoonlight · 01/08/2025 19:15

I love your tattoo @owlybooso tasteful & pretty! Also you’re looking very slim! Glad it wasn’t too painful.

owlyboo · 01/08/2025 19:17

Thanks @Glittermoonlighti will definitely return to her to extend it as it’s the most comfortable tattoo I’ve ever had!
