4 stone 4 lbs down. Delighted. Away to start on a 15 pen just as the prices go up. Not delighted. Swings and roundabouts.

PenelopePoweringOn · 22/08/2025 12:43

Checking in folks, you know me, new thread new name 🤣.

Very well done on your size 12 jeans @meatyryvita 🏆.

My last pen order has arrived. I’ve got a 7.5 pen with one 6.25 dose used. I’m planning on five more doses at 6.25mg from that one. Probably the same from the next one depending on rate of loss, after that a 10mg pen which I might do 7 x 7mg from.

That’s potentially 18 weeks max depending on dose. I’ll probably stop then if I’m nearing 11.5 st.

Checking in lads…

Afternoon losers! 🤪xx

mince3point14159265 · 22/08/2025 13:33

Thanks for the new thread @meatyryvita and congrats on the size 12 jeans! 👖😍

tinyemmy · 22/08/2025 14:13

Checking in on the new thread, ai don't always post but I do love to read the updates. Congratulations on exam results! And I hope those with symptoms feel better soon!

I am really enjoying my new way of life. My weight is quite stable but I'm sure my jeans are looser, it must be my hard work in the gym! I think I will try and titrate down again (I was in 2.5 but bad behaviours crept in so I went back up to 3.75). I'm still on SheMed until the end of the year so I have time, originally I'd intended to stay on this long term but I might try and come off. We will see!

MJalltheway · 22/08/2025 14:22

Hello lovely losers, checking in on a shiny new thread!
congrats on the size 12 jeans @meatyryvita ! And on the 4 stone loss @Tummelthecat !

I know what you mean about the new way of life @tinyemmy , I feel the same way. My Friday evening exercise class starts again today after a summer break and I can't wait to get back to it 😆

About to head down to the field and survey last nights carnage - wish me luck!

HeidiLite · 22/08/2025 15:11

hello losers, new name here as well :D

PenelopePoweringOn · 22/08/2025 16:04

Someone I haven’t seen for ages asked me if I’d lost weight today. I said I had, 3st 🏅🏅🏅 and she said ‘you look really wonderful Penny, like your old self (meaning BC). Nothing else, just that. 😊

PenelopePoweringOn · 22/08/2025 16:21

I was actually saying to someone today that I’m now the same weight that I ended the first 🥊 at. I remember being mortified when I weighed 90kg, little did I know what was to come.

hunkydory54 · 22/08/2025 16:55

@meatyryvita thanks for the new thread. I’ve just gone up to 10mg but seem to have stopped losing for the last couple of weeks. I was hoping to be 3 stone down by the time I go on holiday on 1st September. We’re going to France so it’ll be either kill or cure on the loss 😂.

Congrats to all for the GCSE and A level results. I’m very relieved those years are over especially as they ended up being through the various lockdowns.

Onwards and downwards losers

Jins · 22/08/2025 17:20

Hi again all!

We’ve made it. Awful journey but better than if we’d been going the other way. Just about to light the bbq and crack open a cider.

The only casualty of rushed packing is my toothbrush but I’m pretty sure there’s a box of cheap manual ones in a cupboard somewhere.

myladyjane · 22/08/2025 17:21

s’up

Thelittlestranger · 22/08/2025 19:52

Checking in from my holiday 'cottage' Managed to remember to jab before we left....

Thanks for the new thread @meatyryvita

cloudjumper · 22/08/2025 20:38

Checking in! Blimey you chatty lot, I think I’ve had to jump 2 threads to find you again 😂

I am now 6 kgs away from my goal weight, and the price hike has given me another boost to try and get there asap…. Although tbh I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I get there!

PenelopePoweringOn · 22/08/2025 21:17

Just realised that jab day is almost here😱I've still got tons of suppression. I pushed it back a day last week, I might do the same again.

DGonMJ · 22/08/2025 21:42

Thanks for the new thread @meatyryvita

Managed 1/3 of a pizza today in our favourite Italian restaurant down here. I swam 22 lengths in the pool. And I found a lovely new belt that has loads of notches so can wear it low with mid rise jeans and higher on dresses.

Aimingdown · 23/08/2025 01:16

Thanks for the new thread and congratulations on the size 12 jeans @meatyryvita 🎉

whyamisuddenlygettingolder · 23/08/2025 07:09

Checking in from a very loud campsite!

2025istheyeari · 23/08/2025 07:22

Well done on the losses all and 👏. Size 12 jeans, woohoo @meatyryvita.

Weigh in day here and stayed the same which I’m miffed about but hey ho, I’m only hoping to lose another 6 pounds so guess it’s going to be sloooooow!

have a fab bank holiday weekend everyone, we’re off to the coast for the day, can’t wait for some sea air. Enjoy holidays those of you who are away too!!

BreezyPeer · 23/08/2025 08:28

Morning losers! Xx 🌄
@meatyryvita thank you for the new thread! We are a chatty bunch
@Tummelthecat what a brilliant loss! Well done. The price rises are a real kick in the teeth 😬 I hope you get sorted
@PenelopePoweringOn I love your new name! It's interesting to see your plan for using pens in the future. Feels like an unintended consequence to the price rises. I know I did a lot of maths on both dose and price ( made my brain hurt! 🧠 )
What a lovely compliment! About you being like 'before'
I am 1lb off the weight I ever stared dieting at about 30 years ago! I am loving being this weight 🤣 but i remember how upset i was when i got on the scales that day and started WW with a friend. How strange a change of perspective makes such a difference.
@Zempy morning!
@mince3point14159265 morning!
@tinyemmy well done on maintaining your loss. Sounds like you are loving the gym!
@MJalltheway I hope the field wasn't too wrecked!! Hope you enjoyed your Friday exercise class. I do a Monday class and am thinking about using some of the money I will save on MJ on some more on different days. We have a home gym ( not very glamorous, it's in the garage) but I struggle to get motivated to use it
@HeidiLite morning! Another great username 😀
@hunkydory54 I am hoping 🙏 for that 3st loss for you! France 🇫🇷 will be a great holiday. Its years since I was there, will have to add it to the list.
@Jins bbq and beer sounds like a brilliant start to your break!
@myladyjane morning!
@Thelittlestranger tell us more about the holiday 'cottage ' I am intrigued 🤔 is it a tiny cabin or a massive castle?
@cloudjumper so close to goal! That's amazing. I think a lot of people will be staying here for maintenance so hopefully that might be helpful?
@DGonMJ that belt sounds great! And what an amazing start to your break, a swim and a pizza!
@Aimingdown morning 🌄
@Schnooka morning 🌄
@whyamisuddenlygettingolder I hope you have started the day early and noisy I retribution for the disturbance last night 🤣
@2025istheyeari STS is good so close to goal! Hope next week finds a loss for you. A trip to the sea is such a traditional bank holiday thing to do! Love ❤️ it!

I have been using some annual leave to declutter and deep clean the house. The local charity shops, the bin and the recycling are all full 🤣.
My parents are visiting today for a few days. Looking forward to it. This is a small but vibrant town with a lot going on and they always enjoy it here. We will undoubtedly go out to eat so we'll see how I get on. Also, late to the party but I have bought my first air fryer so no doubt we will be having some air fried snacks 🤣
Have a fabulous Bank Holiday everyone and hope anyone whose working has a good shift ( or two or three!)

Zempy · 23/08/2025 08:42

Hi everyone!

So Oushk sorted out the technical issue on my account that had stopped me from ordering. Of course now there’s no product available to order. 😡

I will keep checking back and see how it goes. I am still worried about my verification call and proving my height. I think I will sellotape a tape measure to door frame and hope they can see I am just four inches taller???

Have a great weekend everyone. I’m doing NOTHING!!! Maybe some Vinting.

PenelopePoweringOn · 23/08/2025 08:51

Morning everyone. Fabulous post @BreezyPeer 😊. Acknowledging each and every one of us! Enjoy seeing your parents and your air fryer (I haven’t got one either).

I’ve got a dull but hopefully productive weekend ahead of me. Major clearing out going on here. I’ve got five viewings arranged on my house which has sent me into a bit of a 😱. I hadn’t imagined that it might sell quickly!

I started last night, I’m a sucker for nice packaging, filled a bin bag with pretty boxes (things like Laura Mercier’s hexagonal powder box 🤯) and paper bags from posh shops! No use whatsoever.

Thelittlestranger · 23/08/2025 09:21

You don't hang about @PenelopePoweringOn getting your house on the market so quickly after making your decision. I hope it sells quickly and smoothly.

@BreezyPeer that is quite a post! Tricky to say what it is without informing exactly where we are because it's easily searchable. Suffice to say it's like a converted cabin, that had a previous use. It's very cute, quiet (in the middle of nowhere) We got first night excitement last night with the gin, and ate crisps for tea. Not ideal, and my tummy was wondering what had hit it.

Booze really does remove any normal hunger signals - I wasn't hungry at all until I was two gins down. Then I was unstoppable. So I had a bowl of chopped carrots next to me too. To give me balance 🤣

Lots of walking today planned to clear the head.
@Zempy I think a tape measure stuck to the wall is fine. I'm pretty sure they are just ticking the box - my picture was laughable.

@DGonMJ sounds like a perfect day to me...
