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

I've dropped down to 4 this week and then will do a few weeks of 3 before doing a pen of 2.5. The mindless eating has definitely come back this week and last 😱. Im ok about putting some weight on as I also had gone below my target but I can't go back to the food noise and just eating loads. OK it's back to it with eating til i'm full and not til Im past full

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefunand @morbidcuriosityit’s not been great I’ll be honest my dd has had to have a new brace fitted that isn’t ideal for mean high school kids as it gives her a lisp and changes her face shape (block braces bloody horrible!) but she’s done well at her first day back

and my ds is neurodiverse and struggling with all high school and got into a fight today which is reported as him ‘physically assaulting another pupil repeatedly punching him in the face’ and being put in isolation the whole day. It’s just so frustrating as me and his primary fought for an EHCP and it got denied as he was just about getting by in primary and we all knew he wouldn’t cope with secondary. It’s just horrible. I’ve requested a meeting to discuss support. And possibly reapplying.

hard especially when you’re a single parent. I know it’s off topic
so sorry!

Azuresky68 · 04/11/2025 07:56

@FurForksSake all the very best for your pre-op and weigh in. Sending hugs 🤗

Azuresky68 · 04/11/2025 08:01

@owlyboosending you lots of hugs and empathy. I am so sorry you, your daughter and son are having a hard time. I hope your DS's school gives the support he needs. Thinking of you all 🤗

FurForksSake · 04/11/2025 15:29

Afternoon! Sorry things are feeling tricky @owlybooinhope school can be supportive.

Down two pounds this morning, 8st8, so half my gain gone so far! They weighed me in clinic and fully clothed in heavy jeans and having had a drink I was 8st 9 and 158 tiny cm 😆😆

I fessed up to the mj, they say I have to be a week clear so I’m going to jab on Thursday the end of my current pen which isn’t a full dose. They said that was fine. I’m going to just have protein shake the days before to try and minimise any food in my tummy and that should help too. He was shocked at me being on mj as I’m so slim he said, I did have to explain I had lost 5.5st so was less slim when I started. They took some bloods and made me do mrsa swabs as I work in a clinical role. Fingers crossed they all come back ok!

Beef stew for dinner, I had a protein mousse for lunch and some chocolate as j was in pain and felt I needed a treat 😆

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/11/2025 15:49

I wish I could eat the mousse /yogs to up protein but I just don’t like them
you should have showed them a before and after

Aldi do some layer protein desserts now, one of them is not dissimilar to a rolo yoghurt.

Thanks for the kind comments. I had a really good conversation with my ds head of year where he’s putting in some good ideas and also is suggesting reapplying for the EHCP as things have escalated so much since we got turned down last year. So he’s asked the SEN team to get in contact and start the (long!) process again!

my dd had a good day and no one said anything today so that’s a positive also!

so a much better day today!

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/11/2025 21:40
