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

Size 12 jeans. And room to breathe !! The 16 you sent me @NippyNinjaCrab on 14 feb that I didn’t fit into are now too baggy by far

I still don’t understand how I lost 4s and dropped 20/18 to 18 so 1-2 sizes really yet lost 2s and dropped to a 18 /12

You look great! I have no idea how it makes so much difference at the bottom end. But

FurForksSake · 03/08/2025 12:48

BMI is very interesting, I’m beginning to realise (and I have no idea why I didn’t twig) that actually models and actresses and people off the telly are underweight. In my head underweight = eating disorder, but for some people that is just normal in the same way it was normal for me to be obese. They literally sell clothes in sizes you could really only n wear if you are underweight. BMI is definitely a very blunt instrument.

i saw this chart on Facebook, it’s interesting how it gives three desirable ranges depending on frame.

Many are very underweight and yes the odd collar bone is nice but not when see all chest and boney

i said before about a lady on the 10s thread and she looks fab and think was size 12 yet she’s still verging on obese

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 03/08/2025 13:22

It’s like those articles that used to be in magazines, I think we said before, where everyone is a size 14 but look totally different. Size 12 and almost obese just seems insane, it really makes you think. At my biggest I was a size 16, but looking at the photos I would have said I was larger and probably because I’m so short I show all the weight.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/08/2025 13:28

Yes a 5ft size 12 is going to look off to a 6f size 12

im sure the one I said was all the same weight but different height and sizes

NippyNinjaCrab · 03/08/2025 13:33

Here's my comparison pics xxxxx

July 24 for Voy, then Jan, Feb, April and now. I look like shit with this virus and pain so excuse yesterday's pics.

I was the same @Blondeshavemorefun with clothes, it was the last several pounds and suddenly I could fit into smaller sizes and the large sizes looked ridiculous. Xx

@Blondeshavemorefun amazing to find First posts. I remember later on how you were so upset for ages that you couldn't get into those bloody size 16 jeans!

I love all the Before & Afters. Also the slipper porn from @NippyNinjaCrab😆

If you had told me a year ago that I would leave my house in shorts I would have laughed in your face!
I thank all of you wonderful women for your kindness, honesty and humour.

@PoemsForTea you look so much less weary!

Usernamechangeforthis12 · 03/08/2025 23:25

Wow @PoemsForTea , @NippyNinjaCrab and @FurForksSake those are some great photos, what a difference.

And @Blondeshavemorefun - I can’t believe those jeans are baggy on you! Well, actually I can but you didn’t believe they’d ever fit you, let along be too big!! Have a fab holiday lovely lady.

Sizing is so weird and bmi too. My bmi is currently 20.7 but I’m mostly a size 12. I’ve a couple of trousers in a 10 but tried DDs size 10 shorts on today and they were tight on my stomach. Although to be fair, my stomach is still pretty big and so are my thighs. Lots of wobbly loose skin.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/08/2025 23:36

Thank you @Usernamechangeforthis12. I know. So strange

one pair of the Levi’s I can get on and off just by pulling down. With button and zip down up 😂

50lb down for me and still a long way to go but I’ll get there. Thanks for everyone who has been so honest on this journey, the ups the downs and everything in between. What a supportive thread it has been.

anyone remember @Blondeshavemorefun typos back in the early threads. They used to make me howl 😂 wish I could remember some of them. Seriously though Blondes, a huge thank you for being the golden thread of this Auggies bunch.

Azuresky68 · 04/08/2025 10:02

@PoemsForTeagreat photos abd well done 👏

Azuresky68 · 04/08/2025 10:12

Finally decided to go up to12.5 mg and it only added £16 to my order. No point in being annoyed with myself for waiting so long is there? At least I have been under 9 stone since February si reached my original target then.
Jabbed a day early yesterday with12 5 from a 10 pen. Got 3 x10 jabs, 2x12.5 jabs and still a bit left.
Have a good week everyone 😊
