Late April ‘25 starters - thread 5

[wlinewbie0425]

Creating this in advance, as the old thread is suddenly moving quickly due to recent events. No matter what challenges lie ahead we are still making amazing progress - so let’s keep supporting one another along the way as we approach 4 months ‘on the pen’.

@wlinewbie0425 hope you are feeling a bit better xx

Thanks, a bit, and certainly much cheered up by the image of you as a skinny Willy Wonka strutting around in court 😂 that’s a top NSV if ever there was one!

@cannyvalley
loving the sound of your look today - like something out of Sex in the City!!!! Go you!!! X

End of week 26 Wednesday weigh in for me and as I already shared a couple of days ago my grand total for the 6 months on MJ is exactly 45lb (1.6lb this week).

I was looking back at photos from April/May and I still cannot quite believe it. The biggest change is around my face and middle. I was so bloated and uncomfortable, physically and mentally looking in the mirror.

no matter whether you’ve lost 10 lbs or 50 a it’s all progress so I hope the idea of totalling our lbs doesn’t contribute to anyone feeling they are doing less well. Those with slower rates of loss are more likely to be those who succeed in long term maintenance which many of us are now beginning to think about so we don’t end up on the regain journey.

looking forward to adding up those numbers, big and small over the next week or so.

Hope everyone’s feeling good today!

No change for me this week so that gives me a six months progress total of 54lbs 🎉🎉🎉 @wlinewbie0425

Off on an all-inclusive holiday tomorrow and fingers crossed I’ll continue to make good choices from the range of salads, protein and fruits available…along with one or two cocktails of course 🍸🍹😁

@cannyvalley also loving the WillyWonka outfit. I used to be in Court a lot for work and followed the advice of a barrister to always wear my nicest underwear, she swore it helped performance, so I hope you’ve got your fanciest frillies on underneath!

@wlinewbie0425 my 6 month total is 66lb.

That's 2 dress sizes 😁

Wow 🤩 @Hawkmoth that’s incredible, 66lb!!!!

@cannyvalley I bet you looked and felt amazing! Loving the image I have of Willy Wonka in court!

Have a fab holiday, you deserve the all inclusive cocktails! 🍸 Enjoy ☺️

Enjoy your holiday @Coventree , I hope you have a fabulous time!
@cannyvalley I've wanted one of those pussybow blouses for a while but thought it would make me look like I was going to court. Clearly I was correct! I bet you looked amazing.

I am so amazed at everyone's six month totals starting to come through, it is so motivational. Everyone has done so well and I can't wait to see our total six month loss.

We should translate it into equivalent objects so we can see how many elephants/cars/hay bales we've lost as a group.

Thanks @violetmondays . I'm just about starting to come to terms with it and noticing the difference. I've just bought some red cords on Vinted to wear for Christmas (identifiable so mysterious) hobby events. Never in a million years would I have done that before.

I am loving all these losses!! I can't wait to see the grand total.

I'll let you know on Friday (although Sunday 26th is officially my 6 month monjiversary but I weigh-in on Friday's)

Loving all the losses and the NSVs! Congrats everyone! 1.5 lb off for me this week. Think it might be slowing down a little as I get smaller! My total is 38lb now!

still not sure about goal weight, I think ideally something beginning with 9. Current goal is down to 10.5 stone by Christmas.

Saw someone only see every few months yesterday and she said I look so different. @wlinewbie0425i am the same lookIng at photos - my face is so different!

@cannyvalleylove the outfit description!
@Coventreehave a great holiday!

This is great advice! Weirdly I always do wear my fanciest underwear when I’m in court. For some reason I can’t face the idea of wearing my usual sensible belly warmers and bobbly bras under my court clothes … like the judge would know and think I was a big faker !!!! 🤣

I can’t wait to see our grand total !!!

@cannyvalley Your outfit sounds fab! Love the image of you strutting around the courtroom (not doing crime) You should wear the biggest damn bow you can find and sashay your skinny butt girl!

Excellent losses @wlinewbie0425 @Coventree @Hawkmoth @Seahawk80 well done everyone!

@Coventree Have a great holiday!

Judge: Ma'am are you supposed to be in here, I'm going to need to see your credentials please.

Cannyvalley: *smugly removes clothes and shows the expensive fancy frillies

Just had my Week 25 WI and lost a pound so down to 11 13!

Very chuffed as my MIL was visiting last week and we ate out a lot. I did my best to make good decisions, and I haven't told her I'm on WLI.

I wasn't planning to hide it but she asked DH how I'd lost weight, and he said I'd been eating less (true as I'm calorie counting), and she replied at least I hadn't used those 'dreadful' drugs. 😂

🤣🤣🤣
This would certainly liven up the proceedings !!!

Amazing losses everyone and giggling away at the frilly knickers in court 🤣

Somehow I have had another 3lb whoosh this week, I couldn't believe it so jumped on and off in different places in bathroom 3 times, so that's 34lb total for me although 28th is my 6 month anniversary.

I am away for half term tomorrow so think pub meals, more beer than usual so I might need that buffer 😬

Ordered one more pen. Just hoping it gets validated by MedExpress using the code.
I had to send a full body photo and a photo of my last prescription.
🤞
I look at the photo and compared to where I was I look so slim but hopefully they'll see all my lumps and bumps.

I will update my 6 month weight loss in the morning.

6 months weigh-in is a bit of a damp squib as it's just -0.5lbs for me this week.

That does however take my overall weightloss to 47.5lbs

I did actually see 9st on the scales today (9st 13 and 3/4lb) but I always round up to the nearest half pound. So I'm 140lbs / 10st exactly!!

I have lost each and every week for 6 months. Albeit I've had a few weeks where it's "just" been 0.5lbs.

6 month stats:
SW: 187.bs
CW: 140lbs
Total lost since April 26th: 47.5lbs
GW: 126lbs

Have a great day everyone and here's to our losses and NSV's and all that we have achieved since April.

Six month weigh in today and a 60 lb weight loss. 😊😊. Congratulations to all of us, you’ve all been a great encouragement and it’s been great to see so many of you hitting the low numbers. Makes me believe anything is possible. 🍾🎉

59lbs lost
2lbs this week
SW 202 lbs 14st 6lbs
CW 143 lbs 10st 3lbs
My aim was 10 stone but that will leave me still overweight so now aiming for nearer 9 but wherever I get to once the pens I have run out.
Hoping to hear from MedExpress today if they OK my pen and if they do that will be my last one.

Amazing losses by everyone.
Well done everyone - What a life changing experience.
Whether you are nearly there or still have a way to go you are amazing and you've got this.

Well done everyone! I’m so proud of us all. Some massive losses - wow! This has been an incredible life changing journey for so many people. I have lurked around the MN weigh loss boards for years and have never known anything like this. We are so privileged to be able to afford to do it.

Hello fellow Friday weighers 👋 I am away from scales today so will do my 26 week weigh in tomorrow.
