I had a weird day. I had a day out with my oldest and bestest friends (we’re talking 40yr+ friends and we’re only mid forties). I’ve even lived with some of these friends at some point, we tend to catch up every few months due to distance. So I’m over 5st down now and even I know I look different, No one mentioned a thing, zilch. And these are not the kind of friends who would think it was impolite to comment either.

I would have hated the fuss but it just feels weird that no one noticed!

Just had to get that out of my system as I’ve just got home and was just thinking about it

Somebody stop me ...I now have a checked Joe browns winter coat for £10 on the way 😂

I'm afraid this is your life now. Technically saving money per item but actually spending loads on oooooooh that's fun Vinted things! It knows I'm a a sucker for sequinned anything, so algorithms all that stuff into my feed.

@FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden we have such similar journeys I think. I’m happy for you that you were able to do the course and see your progress. And six stone is AMAZING 😻 totally life changing. Well done you 💖

@Fffreeeeezing that is weird of them!!

I’ve been awake for nearly 2 hours. No idea why. I had the worst insomnia/middle of the night wakings at the beginning but not for ages. I’m not anxious, I’m not stressed, so why body why!

and now I’ve gone down a vinted hole so this middle of the night ridiculousness has lead to spending!

I went supermarket shopping today! What a novelty! And bought a Halloween jumper (XL, the 2XL I originally tried was much too big) and a pumpkin T-shirt (size 22). I’ll take a pic tomorrow.

I'm often awake at night as well,but due to my racing brain not shutting up.and I'm also xl in Sainsbury's clothes
I bought a size 24 leapord jacket for autumn a few weeks ago ,I didn't bother trying it on ,and thought I would slim in to it . I got it home and tried it on and it was massive on me .then of course I couldn't find the receipt to return it

FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden · 14/09/2025 07:57

@Fffreeeeezing I've had that with a group of friends and found it really odd. I did wonder after if noone wanted to say anything while in the group or be the first to say something.

I've had sort of colleagues I don't see often at work mention it a d other friends when I've seen them 1-1 but did feel a bit miffed.

A long term friend I don't see too often didn't mention it the first time I saw her but did the second. I wonder if it kind of throws some people. It changes the balance of things doesnt it if you're not the morbidly obese fat friend. I think too people who have never struggled with weight don't know what to say anyway - and some may have Opinions about WL medication. I guess we've spent months analysing and thinking about this.

I've got another friend who I usually see in a 3 who messaged me afterwards as she didn't know how to bring it up (and directly asked if I was on wli). I'm not sure there's always an easy conversation. I've got so used to being open here and all the udnerstanding we all have for each other and would have for others but I don't think it's everyone's space.

Linked with that though I've realised how few people I can really be myself around 😔. Autism...

Sleep - I've again not had enough sleep. From Google I'm not sure if MJ causes it or maybe causes me to sleep lighter and then becuase I'm stressed or on alert I wake more easily? I don't know. I take magnesium, don't drink caffeine after 2 or 3... But it's becoming a real problem. Sleep is my weakspot. I really need to be able to compeltely unwind and have no pressure to do it it seems and I'm in a new job with a lot of prep needed before work.

I am now wondering as @SilenceInside says whether to go down a bit. I'm doing so well losing weight after my (what felt like) huge stall that I don't want to... But maybe it would help the fatigue. I'm 4 jabs in... I just don't know. I keep waking up.

@PearlsPearl Yes I often think we've mirrored each other in many ways!

Lds1 · 14/09/2025 08:41

@Autumnflowers2 sell the jacket on vinted! I checked for a dueturbia dress, the one I really liked I could only find in a much smaller size think it was 6 or 8 so I'll keep checking! N

I bought some trousers from the charity shop but they were brand new. That means I have 2 pairs whilst I wait to get in the next size down. I have a pair in the next size down so I try them on now and again.

Doggymummar · 14/09/2025 09:00

Urgh I feel so bloated ( am so bloated) and feel like I'm gonna pop. I bra that was on its tighter setting today only just fastens on the loosest, tummy so distended. I had a massive curry last night and a dulcolax to try to move things along but nothing. I'm loathe to take another tablet as two usually leads to explosion 💥 I am two pound up on 31 August as well which is a pain. I feel like I will explode

eibbed999 · 14/09/2025 09:21

Hiya - some of you might remember about nine days or so ago I posted about getting a delivery from e surgery and the box was completely open, and the packaging damaged. I received some reassurance on here that the pen was probably fine (sure it is), but I put in a complaint because I don't think it's good enough - we're paying a lot of money and receiving medications in slapdash packaging or in an open box isn't great. Took a while, but have received a response, and to be fair it was a full and frank one that satisfied me - plus they're sending a replacement. So I guess it's worth shouting out if you're not happy! The response in part (edited for boring bits and personal info!):

"I sincerely apologise for the delay in responding to your serious concerns about your damaged medication delivery. Your safety concerns are completely valid, and I take full responsibility for the unacceptable packaging standards you experienced.

Patient safety is our highest priority, and we have clearly failed to meet that standard in your case. I understand your reluctance to use medication from an opened package, and I fully support your decision not to do so.

We have recently been trialling a new ice pack supplier, but the quality has not met our expectations and we are returning to our previous supplier immediately.

I completely understand your frustration as a first-time customer, and I am committed to restoring your confidence in our service. Please let me know if you would like me to arrange the replacement order immediately.
I will personally oversee the packing and dispatch of your replacement to ensure it meets proper safety standards."

So sorry @Doggymummar that sounds horrendous! Hope you feel better soon.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 14/09/2025 10:37

Oh boy, lots of victories today.

Lots of lack of sleep for some of us, too.

And another person has fallen down the rabbit hole which is Vinted.

I've not had a clothes size drop for a while now so I'm hoping I'm due one soon - the 22 jeans are getting to the point of needing belts, and I've got one pair of 20s that now fit, but the 18s I bought dirt cheap months and months ago still elude me - they'll go on now but not up. I keep panicking I've plateaued (I can't afford to go higher than the 10mg I'm on now) but the graph is still pointing down at a steady 1-2lb a week. I've not done my start of month measurements this month so hopefully if/when I do those it'll vindicate that it's still working for me a bit more.

Hair thinning's finally started a bit, and some definitely more loose skin rather than bingo wings on my upper arms now.

Thank you! I felt fabulous in it, and we had a family birthday night away doing karaoke and drinking. Lots and lots of drinking. Needless to say was not feeling quite so fab the next morning!

Billybingbong · 14/09/2025 11:50

Morning all. Im back from my hols and just catching up on all your fab losses and nsv's. We had a fabulous first week celebrating my birthday and our pearl wedding anniversary. Lots of treats, topped off with an amazing meal at the Farmers Dog (highly recommended for any Diddly Squat fans out there). The 2nd week wasn't so fun (visiting relatives, with lots of family politics in the mix). But we made the best of it, as you do.

Anyway I'm back, with a 1lb loss, so I'm happy with that. 4st 1lb so far now.

SW 22st 8lb
CW 18st 7lb
GW 11st 4lb

Have a great week all x

PearlsPearl · 14/09/2025 13:05

Both tops a bit too big and I could have sized down more. Well I never!

Am wearing the leggings I live in, that I just bought a size smaller.

@Fffreeeeezing there can be a few things at play.

It may be that they simply havent't noticed. Some people dont really look at people once they know them very well.

It could be that they have an image of you, possibly not at your biggest.

Sometimes close friends or family have an image of a person and that image can stick no matter the reality. DH and I have talked about this many times. He has two DBs. When they were growing up he was definitely 'the fat one'. Even now, if asked, family would say that he was 'the fat one' despite being far and away slimmer than both his DBs.

You look fantastic @PearlsPearl where’s the sweatshirt from?

PearlsPearl · 14/09/2025 20:26

Thank you! It's Asda.

GnomeDePlume · 15/09/2025 05:51

NSV for me, I was wearing some trousers and thinking they weren't as loose as they had been. Checked the size only to find out they were the smaller of 2 pairs I bought a few weeks ago.

I am now a Cotton Traders 2xl, not 3xl.

Also found a load of polo shirts in my cupboard which now fit or are a bit loose.

PearlsPearl · 15/09/2025 09:33

Morning everyone, another Monday!

I felt a bit wobbly yesterday emotionally as I didn't jab and won't for the following Sunday too. We are away on holiday from Friday and I absolutely couldn't risk getting so poorly again, but not jabbing makes me sad and scared of weight gain. Hoping by the time I get back it'll mostly be out of my system, for a fresh start.

I plan to jab again in 2 weeks, we get back on the Sunday, I'm going with 1.25 and easing myself back into it. Fingers crossed that works. I did 4 weeks on 1.25, then 2 weeks on 2, when I first started so I'm just going to go back to basics and do similar again.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 15/09/2025 10:00

@PearlsPearl if I were you, I'd take some anti-nausea medication plus some loperamide, about two hours before having the injection.
Then repeat the meds every few hours as required.

Have a big swallow of Acidex or Gaviscon in advance, too.
