We have all been on for over a year now

Last month the year before , 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

We are amazing !!!

All of us 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
And some still have weight they want to lose

We are still here cheering you on till you get to your happy weight so please do carry on posting

Some have stopped for cost - esp after the aug announcements - still so thankful we started it when we did

Imagine Aug 25 and being told 2/3w later prices were increasing lots - I def couldn’t have managed a year of mj at new sept prices esp as doses didn’t really effect me even 15 !

Blowing baby dust your way to those who are ttc

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

This year will almost be harder. To keep the weight off Esp if reducing dose or off completely

The dresses came in a 10. I don’t like blue one and not sure of red. Still like purple

I like the red one, not a fan of the purple as it’s just not my style. They look like they fit nicely! Are these from Temu? They look really nice. I’ve ordered a tartan skirt and a cute cardigan from Temu.

FurForksSake · 20/09/2025 16:57

Strange question, but I know some of you use lactulose. Last couple of days I’ve struggled to stay awake in the afternoon. Could that be making me tired? I’m getting a normal-ish amount of sleep for me (patchy due to pain), but I could lie down and sleep right now.

20bloodypounds · 20/09/2025 19:19

@Blondeshavemorefun I don't think the red one flatters your waist or your legs. You have great curves and a lovely waist, show it off. I thinknthe frill on the front of the purple one hides your assets.

I like the blue one but it looks too big.

Yes just done. Al approved. Had to show weight. I had already sent in my driving license via email as can’t find the bloody thing so sent a pic of it. My passport is under maiden name

then has to measure my height

took about 2mins

Someone will call me in 48hrs ans discuss and then pen will be sent out

What sort of price for what strength Blondes?

Azuresky68 · 20/09/2025 19:35

Very excited 😊 I did my last wardrobe clearance via Vinted. Getting better at it. I posted some stuff and within 5 minutes sold a coat for £20 - bought it about 8 years ago but still being sold on the shops website and a jacket that I have had for years for £8. Just had to tell someone on this rainy Saturday night 😅

I usually wear v neck as have big boobs but now have spaniels ears

red I like the colour but not the long bit at back. Didn’t reliese that when ordered. Thought was the same length

thinks about scissors 😂😂😂

blue again don’t like yet I did in red but was huge on me

these are all 10’s and I’m not a 10. I know that

WitchDancer · 21/09/2025 08:17

@Blondeshavemorefunout of the three I like the red best. I think the neckline is the most flattering for you, even if you don’t like the long hemline at the back.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/09/2025 08:56

I think blue is too long for me and going back

I’m better off at the knees. I’m def keeping the purple one. I really like that

red dithering about. It’s only £8. I may ask my friend who is a whizz on the sewing machine if she can try and pin the back hem up a bit and sew it

if she can’t it’s £8 lost which is nothing

Agree about the style of the purple one 💜

Azuresky68 · 21/09/2025 09:24

Nothing much to report apart from on my way down in doses..on 12.5 right now, after finishing this pen I have 3 x 10 mg pens. Definitely less suppression on 12.5 😢😱

Azuresky68 · 21/09/2025 09:29

Really nice low calorie fresh ready meal from Aldi if you like fish. It's 2 portions but you could eat the whole thing for 414 calories

Auggies thread 17
Blondeshavemorefun · 21/09/2025 09:32

I know I skipped 12.5 and went 15 to 10 and then to 7.5 August but hoped it again due to pain and wanting to be ok for holiday

I’m on last 10 and then be on 7.5 so be interesting about the pain

but more about the food. Hopefully I can eat more

I am struggling to eat 1800c a day and think why I’m losing a lb here and there

I still don’t understand the logic of how I would sts sometimes for weeks on 1200 yet lose weight when allowed 1800 on maintenance

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 21/09/2025 11:01

I weighed myself this morning, I’ve been avoiding it as my weights been up on the 8st8 I got down to a couple of weeks ago. Weighed again this morning and it was 8st9. I can cope with that, it was 8st11/12 one morning and I was very cross as my calories did not warrant a 3/4 pound gain. I’m taking lactulose as I’m very backed up, cocodamol seems worse for that than oramorph.

consultant wants me swimming and cycling, ha. But in a few weeks I’m hoping that the physio and hydro will mean I can do some. That would be great as I could then get my calories up a bit and build some muscle. I really want to be able to up my calories, but my absolute sedentary life and shortness means I’ll gain quickly.

Azuresky68 · 21/09/2025 11:38

@FurForksSake great news 👍 about weight. Pretty much the same as you

Azuresky68 · 21/09/2025 11:40

@Blondeshavemorefun I don't understand the logic either! Somehow I don't think it will be the same for a shortie like me 🤔

FurForksSake · 21/09/2025 12:02

@Azuresky68 thanks! I am desperate to see the magic 8st7 but I can live with this. I’ll keep going on my current calories as I’m maintaining here and see if I can lose snails pace these last 2lbs.

Azuresky68 · 22/09/2025 10:35

Posting here in case we have any My Fitness Pal experts! I have used it since 2012 but last week in the Progress area where you log weight and upload progress photos it has started displaying oldest results first! Its a long way to scroll down 😱

I have asked the AI Help on MFP and it can't help. Chat GPT says there's no way to change it. I have now emailed MFP help direct but wondered if anyone has had this before?

I love looking back at my progress this last year as I am now the best weight I have ever been.

We are both in the same boat I think. Got to 8 st 5 5 and today weighed in at 8 st 6.5. I can live with 8 st 7 but so scared about gaining. I think I am shorter than you? Basically I am the oldest and shortest on here 😅😅😅

FurForksSake · 22/09/2025 10:40

I’m 5ft2 and a half 😆

sorry, can’t help with the mfp but it does sound very annoying!!
