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

If you want tv recommendations Blondes is your woman!

I haven't seen that, might add it to my list to watch without the husband as he'll say it is miserable, unless I can sell it to him on it being set it Thailand 🤔

The determination of a load or ordinary, rather solitary British blokes is really uplifting.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/08/2025 05:32

Sorry it was @20bloodypounds who said it. Not you @NippyNinjaCrab

FurForksSake · 07/08/2025 08:52

@Blondeshavemorefunsounds like you are enjoying yourself! I wouldn’t worry too much, you’ve got bugger room and you aren’t eating ten bags of crisps a day.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/08/2025 09:07

It was a big family bag so prob 3 small ones 😳🙀

but was nice

now off for a fry up

NippyNinjaCrab · 07/08/2025 09:24

Ooooh pie mash and peas yummm.

That's good news re pain, i need to get myself on the list for the next replacement ASAP. My first, the left was done privately so it was easier to plan for aftercare. I dont know what to expect with this one.

I've weighed in today as we have a big dinner tonight and I'm maintaining at 10st 12lbs. I've not had MJ, albeit it was super low mg, for 2 weeks, nearly 3.

poppym12 · 07/08/2025 13:11

I've got a 5mg pen from ages ago with an expiry date of 09/25.

I'm still on 15mg (due to start new pen on Saturday) and not moving down doses yet as I've still got 3 or 4kg to lose and it's now at a snails pace.

I feel like I should use the 5mg pen up rather than waste it but obviously it will only give me one full dose.

Has anyone used a lower dose pen and jabbed 2 or 3 times in one go to get the higher dosage? Or is this a really bad idea as the doses are only approximate?

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/08/2025 19:27

@NippyNinjaCrab well done for maintaining

@poppym12 I used a stray 5ml I had - I think I made it into 10. I can’t remember but whatever did it was fine

NSV. WELL 2

1 I went for beach walk with my friend and the kids - we do it every year. I didn’t struggle and wasn’t sweating tons on way back up the hill

2 towels. The towels they leave for you as we rent an apartment / previous years they wouldn’t have fitted round me and had a huge thigh gap.

proud moment. This year the towels fit round me easily with room to spare and tuck in

the friends we go with don’t recognise me even tho seen me smaller on fb

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 07/08/2025 19:38

Well done blonde! The towel one is brilliant, I really thought places were getting meaner and meaner with towels. I still think that a little bit, but it’s a lot easier!

Motnight · 07/08/2025 19:54

Two fantastic NSVs @Blondeshavemorefun!

NippyNinjaCrab · 07/08/2025 20:35

Fab nsv's, the walking definitely as you can compare to previous holidays. I love feeling smaller with things like towels or my dressing gown xxx

20bloodypounds · 07/08/2025 22:33

NSV: My really lovely and adorable dh seems not to notice or comment on anything about my size (well, he once said I had nice legs) - he seems to love me and fancy me just as much at my lower weight and at my highest.

But today I really noticed how I felt about myself. I was wearing only pants, a sports bra and an ancient strappy vest.

dh walked into the bedroom.

This time last year I would have felt in some way ashamed of my body, I would have found a way to cover up, or to move out of view - in case he saw how fat I was and stopped loving me. (even though this has never been the case, it was the script running in my head).

Today, I stood there in my crappy clothes, and I felt good. I felt good, I wasn't thinking about what anyone else thought. I felt good. I'm 64, my skin is wrinkled, my body has been through the events of life, but I felt good.

One good feeling led to another Wink

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/08/2025 22:50

Thanks my little auggjes and we are little compared to last year !!

@20bloodypounds dh sounds lovely and am I reading correctly (or may be my sex starved body/brain) but one good feeling led to another meant you had sex ?

Loving everyone’s nsvs!

mine is definitely when my dd has been asking to take pics on days out I now just smile and let her take it rather than making excuses and hiding. Sad the four years or so I did. This was a recent one this week she asked to take.

loving everyone’s pics
