August 25 Starters - Thread 2

[MrJollyLivesNextDoor]

Hi everyone, I couldn’t see a new thread so I’ve started this one.

Here’s the link to the old thread:

I’m hoping to be in the 13’s - and learn to proof read - by half term!

Weigh in tomorrow.

After last week’s small 0.5lb loss - I have lost 3lbs this week finally taking me under 200lbs for the first time in a long time plus 4lbs away from the 13’s now.

I did a mid-week weigh in and lost 10.1kg since end of July! Yeah, under the 90kg mark.

I can see a change in my body and needed already to buy new tops. I need to see how some of my older clothes in the wardrobe fit, some trousers are my next goal.
I just hope I don't have to buy a new winter coat.

I have been feeling ok on the 5mg dose so far. A bit of nausea, but if anything, it’s not as bad as on the 2.5mg dose.

I have lost 1lb since I took it on Thursday so things are heading in the right direction. Another half pound and I’ll have lost 10lb since I started on 21st August.

I’m not noticing much difference yet. I’m very much an apple shape and yes my belly is smaller but it’s still pretty big!

I've finished my first 5mg, I've bought another 5mg but wish I was going straight up to 7.5mg, I ate a full bag of share crisps last night 🙈🐷 I do have some chocolates in the cupboard and managed to resist - phew! I've definitely noticed a return in food noise. I was on holiday last week and luckily only put on 0.4lb, so not much of an increase but I'm going to have to really try if I want to keep losing over this next month.

Yayyy!! That's fab 🎉🎊 This is my next aim, I so want to get to under 200lbs 🙏 I'm currently at 204lbs.

I am wanting to use the next few weeks to change my habits. I’m going to do sober October as a start to this. I also want to cut down on my Pepsi max. I have 4 cans most days, sometimes more or less. 2 cans would be a great day. I love my first can in the morning. So I think I’ll keep that one and see if I can stop the others.

amazing, well done!! That's my next goal, i'm a little way off but hope to be there by end of Nov!

Thank you ladies, all the weeks are soon adding up for us all!

Congratulations!

I got 90 clicks (I think) out of my second 2.5mg pen yesterday, making 3.75mg and the end of that pen after three weeks. I got five weeks out of the first 2.5mg with the golden dose so it all works out. Next week I will go up to 5mg.

My knickers are ridiculously loose, they look like a loin cloth.

Starting weight 195lb
current weight 178.5lb
goal weight 130lb (this may be a bit ambitious, 140lb is more likely especially with all the weight lifting)

16.5lb down. Next goal is 20lb down. Would like to be 170lb by Halloween.

I had my first 5mg dose at the weekend after two pens of 2.5mg. Finding the suppression a bit much, hopefully it'll settle down. Struggling to even drink a protein shake.

-0.8kg for me this week, which is ok. I have managed to drop below 80kg too which is a mini- achievement for me.
SW 87kg
CW 79.7kg
GW 65kg? I can’t really remember what I said!

I was 13 stone this morning so I’ll take that as 2 and a half stone loss.

Admittedly it was after a massive wee and in my thin nightie but still …

Looking forward to climbing down to the 12s in October!

That’s brilliant @Sausagedogsarethewurst

Checking in here. I've not lost any more weight, but my body fat has decreased according to my scales. I have however decided to up to 5mg and then hold back on the 2.5mg for tapering off later on.

I injected an hour ago and omg the suppression is immediate. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to eat today, currently sipping a matcha slowly but yeah... wow. Haha. Fingers crossed, I can get moving again.

Less body fat is always good! Hope the mega suppression doesn’t last too long.

Fantastic, you are making very quick progress!

I lost 2.5lbs this week which takes me into the 14s. Hurrah! Really hoping for another stone by 22nd November which should be achievable I think? It was my birthday yesterday so after weighing in I ate 3 Ferrero Rocher for breakfast, had a full on takeaway curry for dinner and a small slice of birthday cake. Will need to focus over the week ahead!!

Feels like this thread is full of positive news and non scale victories. Just think where we’ll be by Christmas!!

Morning all! Great to get your updates.

Happy birthday for yesterday @justjuggling - your birthday diet sounds v nice!!

Took second dose of 5mg yesterday (after three weeks of 3 / 3.75mg) and feeling a bit meh. MJ definitely makes me tired and sluggish. Luckily no really bad digestive symptoms apart from constipation (so am chugging extra magnesium). Suppression is better but I can still eat 3 smallish meals a day no problem.

According to Shotsy my level today is 6.41, it was down to 2 point something before yesterday's jab.

Weigh in yesterday, half a pound lost last week so still not huge, grr. Hopefully due for a drop at some point soon!

On the positive side my waist measurement is smaller than my bust measurement for the first time in ages which makes such a difference to how clothes hang, yay. (My 'gut' (belly button) measurement needs further work however 😅)

Just taken my 8th jab and weighed, lost a pound this week and slightly disappointed as was hoping for a bit more but I guess things may slow down at some point (was really hoping to get through the next stone before that happened though!).
Ive lost 16lbs in 7 weeks so onwards and downwards.
Will be attempting the golden dose next week (last time it didn’t go so well!) and then onto starting 7.5 the following week.
Happy Jabbing losers!

Well done to everyone losing and try hard to lose!

I’m on my 10th jab of 2.5MJ and have lost 14.1kg. I did feel like I’d stalled and made a list of monthly and weekly losses to track the progression - helped me see there was progress even though it stalled. Will discuss higher dose with Dr.

Ive been super strict with my food intake and MJ has made it easier to stick to the diet with manageable cravings. Very little exercise but hoping to prove there.

My first goal will be moving from obese to overweight and I’ve still got 12.9kg to go before I hit that goal. It feels achieveable but not quick. I’d love to get there by Christmas but I don’t want to set myself up to feel pressure or failure. I’m just happy to be dropping weight.

Wonderful progress, and a great aim to have for the end of the year.

I am on my 10th jab tomorrow (moved up to 4 last week) and I have lost 11.4kg, if I could loose the same in the next 12 week to the end of the year I would be over the moon.

Wow, everyone’s doing really well! Well done on all the loses!

I lost 1lb this week. It’s my first week on 5mg so I was hoping for more, but it is what it is. It’s in the right direction at least. That’s 10lb I’ve lost since I started 6 weeks ago. It doesn’t feel like much compared with others but I shouldn’t compare, everyone’s different.

Wk 8 for me. Just taken 5mg.
SW 18st 8lb
CW 17st 9lb
I've got 7.5mg ready to go for next dose.

I've also got golden dose of 2.5 pen and 5mg pen. If I take both together, will this be the same as 7.5 dose???

Just started week 10. I started with 2.5 then moved up to 3.75. I’ve lost 7.2kg in total, which I’m fine with but I haven’t lost any weight in the last 4 weeks so I’m going to move up to 5mg for my next jab. I’m not having any side effects so less worried about moving up now. I’m eating healthily and tracking calories and happy that I’m maintaining my weight, but the aim at the moment is to lose so I think I need to go up to 5mg and see how I get on.
