[Mounjaropen]

Welcome to thread 14!

Feel free to lurk or post, absolutely no judgement here, just support and encouragement as we enter Autumn knowing that ALL of our Winter coats will do up 🥰

Join us here to celebrate NSV’s, weight loss milestones, maintenance and new stone brackets!

I’m on W47 D2 and on w2 of my second titrating down pen of 5.0mg

F in my early 50’s
H 5’ 5.5”
SW 13st 11lb
CW 9st 7.0lbs
GW 9st 0lb

Total loss so far 61.0 lbs (at 9st 6.0)

We recommend the Shotsy app to monitor the amount of MJ in the system and pleasing graphs to look at…plus the MeThreeSixty body scan app to monitor inch loss for the weeks where weight loss is slow but you might have lost body fat etc. Both are free.

Feel free to swap recipes that might inspire anyone in a food rut, tips for managing side effects, exercise tips, tips for maintenance, titrating up or down and we love a wellness/supplements/beauty/ style chat too 🥰

There seems to be some sort of global outage. Loads of our systems at work are not behaving this morning.

Thanks for that tip! It’s back up and running now 😅 mind you, I’m very impressed that Zach the trainer replied to my message via Instagram pretty much instantaneously about it all 👏

This seems to be the issue…

Well done! Always trust the data and if in doubt drink more water 🙌

I've been using Emily Williams on Instagram - I subscribe to her premium content and on days when I want a longer workout I do extra rounds or pick a different video to follow. If you dont want to pay, look up Trainwithflorence on Instagram- she has a dumbells only and a kettlebell only series that I like.

Oh thay explains a lot of tech glitches this morning!!

Oooh! I forgot to update you all on my exciting NSV! I was updating my weight in my Oura ring app - i hadn't done it since January or something ridiculous. And my cardiovascular age is now 11 years LOWER than my actual age!!! Mind blown.

I might get a kettlebell actually. Just slightly nervous of smashing the TV or a vase or child or something, my living room isn't huge!

Ah, part of the AWS problem? I’ve seen a few apps struggling this morning

ETA - services me right for posting before reading the rest of the thread, you’re all already on it 😁

In a similar vain to the 'you look so good' comments... Has anyone noticed a shift of behaviour from men after getting down to a small size?

Mentioned this before but it's beyond joke now. Pretty much every time I leave the house, I know some man will stop me and ask for my number. I really did not think men were so obsessed with size 8-10, particularly as the discourse now is around being curvy and that being desirable.

Getting a bit cynical about it now and go 'men like skinny blondes, who knew?' with a sarcastic smirk in my head after said interaction is over.

Anyone else experiencing a huge uplift in attention? maybe even from current DP? And how do you feel about it?

No upsurge in male interest here @LindtCurvesI think I’ve fallen into the invisible 50s. Which is a shame as a single woman who is open to meeting someone.

11 years @SerenePeer that’s amazing. I think I’ve got 1 year below. Although I’m definitely fitter now than at 40, well my 5k and 10k times are better!

Back from my trip to Japan and I miraculously lost two pounds while I was away, so have gained my 5 stone award! I jabbed while away but at a slightly lower dose so I didn’t feel nauseous. Managed to eat whatever I wanted, which wasn’t particularly healthy, but obviously the huge amount of walking I did helped me lose weight. I genuinely thought I was going to be half a stone heavier! The first hotel had scales in but not weighing for 10 days was very strange after weighing every day for nearly a year.

Lovely to catch up on everyone else’s progress - well done everybody!

No upsurge here!

I was very shocked! I don't feel like I'm fitter than I was 11 years ago!

Woohoo 5 stone trophy for you! 🏆 🎉 That is excellent and it’s lovely you did whilst on a fabulous holiday too.

Thank you! Still about 4 more to go but it feels so much more achievable than it did a year ago!

@Novjaro a five stone klaxon ringing loudly for you

📣🔔📣🔔📣🔔📣🔔📣🔔🎉

well done ✔️ five stone is a great achievement 👏🏻

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Saw this article this morning in The Times which might prove to be interesting for some of us. Plus, how good does St Jennifer look at 56? I wonder how old her Renpho scales /Oura ring says she is? 😂

DH is away for three nights at a work thing. this means only my own bladder disturbs my sleep which definitely makes me less irritable the next day. On the downside, My dishwasher is broken 😭 but at least I know how much washing up I’m generating versus having Mr 2 puddings home 😂 Hopefully I’ll get it fixed this week. Obviously it’s just out of warranty 🙄

I had to size down the faux leather M&S trousers in case anyone is considering them - they became a bit baggy after wearing so off to vinted they went and sold within the hour. I had ordered the size 8’s to return so out of the packet they came and were better for me. Hopefully I’ve not sold the 10’s to a scammer…

Incredible on all counts! So happy for you 🙌

Hope Japan was every bit of magical as you hoped 🥰

Try and get a selection of weights if you can, because upper body and lower body exercises require different weights. Don’t worry, you won’t let it fly away!

There’ll be someone out there for you. They’ll probably appear when you are least expecting it. Having worked in a very male dominated industry, men are mostly interested in smart,interesting women who are engaging and smile a lot. I bet that’s you 🥰

DH is loving the reappearance of lingerie from The back of the knicker drawer… The sort of pants only saw the light of day for hotel rooms 20+ years ago😂

But yes, I’m definitely less invisible in general. And I’ve never been one to dress to blend in to the crowd. I’m taking it for the win TBH.

That’s a fantastic achievement! 🙌

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I’m only 4 years younger on my Renpho scales 😭

And here I was being excited that I’m only 2 years older than my true age on my Renpho scales 🤣
