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

Morning! Sorry to hear off poorliness and woohoo for victories and maintenance.

Armpits are a nightmare! They are all angular and annoying. I think I might start using veet instead of shaving. Though it’s winter now and I’d usually lean into hirsute human but hydro means I can’t.

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/09/2025 11:49

Doesn’t sound good @Azuresky68. Hope gets sorted. Enjoy holiday and hopefully no gain

Azuresky68 · 27/09/2025 13:38

@Blondeshavemorefun thanks 😊 I am not too worried to be honest. Apart from back pain I feel pretty good 👍

Azuresky68 · 27/09/2025 19:48

Another decent Aldi meal. Added lots of cabbage.

Think I need a trip to aldi, some of these dinners sound good.. I've had a few protein ones from lidl which were nice.
I don't normally like ready meals, but gonna give a few of these a go..

Thanks for the tips.

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/09/2025 21:14

See I didn’t like the protein meals from Aldi or sains or Lidl

morbidcuriosity · 27/09/2025 22:28

Lid, the chilled section. The spag bol and the tikka masala I found nice.. and good for price. But I've planned a trip to aldi for Monday now so I'll grab a couple meals from there..

Oh no....I am still on 12.5. Not sure how I will cope on maintenance at a lower dose

FurForksSake · 28/09/2025 11:06

It’s going to be tough, but we are tougher! I’m not sure whether it’s a healthy way of thinking, but with hunger and food noise turned right down and eating just at meal times and the odd snack I realise that hunger isn’t telling me I must eat now. I can I hope choose to ignore it and continue with routines and planning instead of giving in to it.

I’ve seen lots of threads where slim people that have always been slim say they do feel hungry and feel it often, but they’ve come to accept it somewhat and crack on.

I guess the thing will be filling up on fibre and low calorie density foods and avoiding high calorie foods which are incredibly easy to over eat on.

I’ve injected 15mg this week and I can’t say I feel any different from 12.5, so I’m not sure it’s going to help much towards target!

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/09/2025 11:28

I think we have to get used to hunger

I want to gain some weight and prob will if now get hungry on 7.5

esp after a huge but yummy meal last night

but I also know that I will survive. Before I would have prob munched on a cereal bar or a crisps

I’m waiting for lunch p

I've also become so much more aware of how many calories are in some food items. Yesterday I was in a coffee shop (travel arrangements meant I'd missed breakfast) and I was tempted by the double chocolate muffin... until I saw that it was 585 calories! That and a flat white would be more than half my daily requirement according to my TDEE. I opted for an Americano with a small amount of milk and a yogurt / berry / granola pot. It was just over 400 calories but at least I felt it contained some nutrition. Dinner was salmon with roasted tomatoes, broccoli, peas and a small helping of mashed potato.

I think that previously I would have had the chocolate muffin, then probably grabbed a sandwich for lunch too. Then dinner, and wine.

It's hard being short and slight, but hopefully it's a lesson I've learned and I do try to have small portions.

Happy Sunday everyone. I’ve had a lovely wholesome day today. Went to an animal farm type place with the kids (14 and 11) and still loved it as much as they did when they were little! Was just so nice. Sunny, and no one argued! I’ll call that a little Sunday win!!

That looks gorgeous @owlyboo!

owlyboo · 28/09/2025 19:56

Was so lovely kids held pigs/mice/guinea pigs/rabbits and we stroked all the goats/ponies and donkeys (until they stomped at us!) and they even played together on the park/trampolines and watched the magic show! Amazing what they enjoying doing when no one knows them there and they don’t have to ‘be cool’

I hate to think how many calories were in my lunch but it was so yummy! Hot dog with onions and gerkins in a pretzel roll. It was so nice! 🐷🐷

it really is @Blondeshavemorefunsometimes the simpler wholesome type places are actually better aren’t they. We were there for 6 hours!

poppym12 · 29/09/2025 08:33

Morning. Hope you're all well. I'm still around and reading but not posting very often.

However, my BMI is finally under 25. This last few lbs are proving to be pretty stubborn!

Slimhopes · 29/09/2025 08:45

Congrats @poppym12 ! Feels amazing when BMI is under 25, healthy weight range 🥳 I’m similar in terms of being around and trying to keep up but not posted much recently. Life has been hectic with some stresses so hoping for a calmer week. Have maintained my goal weight and heading down the doses this week to 12.5.
hope everyone well and has a good week x

FurForksSake · 29/09/2025 09:06

Morning! Well done @poppym12 it does feel amazing, doesn’t it!

@Slimhopes nice to see you, sorry to hear about the stresses. Good luck with the taper!

morbidcuriosity · 29/09/2025 09:16

So I seem to be maintaining which is good, I weigh myself every day and have bounced around 4 or 5lb difference, lowest I seen is 10.11 one morning after a fast and highest is 11.3 after a carb heavy day.
But I first saw 11 stone beginning of September and still 11 stone today..

I do like when it tips into the 10 bracket but I don't really want to go much lower, but thinking of maybe a few more lb so my high is 11 stone.

It's all very odd and new and confusing as never been this weight before and never paid so much attention to it in my life.. so I've got some thinking to do really. But I'm just happy I can grab a size 12 top and it fits.

FurForksSake · 29/09/2025 09:19

It’s a great feeling being able to grab a smaller size consistently.

ive not weighed for a few days and I might hold off until Friday as I’ve got a terrible period.

morbidcuriosity · 29/09/2025 09:27

Oh a also a little boost this morning I looked at my shotsy app and it says BMi 22 and 40.3% loss

Didn't realise it was over 40% loss. That's made my morning..
