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 🥰

😂 very rude of someone misting you with ‘cotton breeze’ without asking tho.

Sounds like a dual purpose tool - dumbbell doubling as a beauty product 💪🏻 🙌

I think the BBC could do with some fresh blood given all of its recent troubles, so maybe you should send in your CV so you can show off your lovely voluminous locks!

Feel better soon!

I’ve started with a cough over the weekend and feel like poo today (stuffy nose, headache, generally pants). I can’t blame London so I will blame nursery instead. Cancelled my Pilates class for tomorrow morning. Have a work thing on Thursday I need to travel for, may the power of paracetamol prevail!

Ooh this reminds me, I have a real fur coat in the attic which belonged to my mum. I have no idea where from and what type of fur it is. I would be too afraid to wear it in case someone hurls a bucket of red paint over me (and to be fair, I wouldn’t purchase a real fur item in the first place). I do wonder what to do with it.

I have a friend who went through a vegan phase and started wearing ‘faux fur’ badges on her clothes, maybe I could invest in one and try to style it out 🫣🤣

Oh my good god! I cannot believe she febreezed you! This has made me laugh out loud though. Very excited to hear about the hair styler and new hair growth, hooray!

Omg @lovealongbath ! Febreezed!!!! That's a new one to add to the list of changing room mortificiations!

@goldleafcat lemsip has been my constant companion! Even put some in my stanley cup to keep me fortified during a dog walk and again at the supermarket! 😂

@Mounjaropen love the coat!! I desperately need a new smart winter coat as my current one absolutely drowns me!

Morning all!

@lovealongbath From one baldie to another your hair story gives me hope! But the unexpected Fabreezing was really not on - your poor hair! But at least you had fabulous new scaffolding under your uniform.

Now I am looking up hair tools. Oh dear. 😂

@Mounjaropen , @Goldleafcat - I am also hankering over a furry coat. Right now I am resisting, it’s Christmas soon, I have to buy nice things for OTHER people now. 😂

Well after all my steady losses, over the weekend I’ve gained a kilo - which seems pretty extreme, so I’m putting it down to too much salt and too many carbs = water retention. My clothes all still fit though, so I am not panicking yet.

Confirming my continued skinny bitch status, I bought some M&S Size 8L jeans off Vinted because I’d belatedly realised we’ve planned a country ramble with friends and EVERY pair of jeans I have that fit are flared/wide leg/not what I want to be clambering over stiles in. So I got some straight leg turn ups and they fit very neatly, helped by the hefty dose of elastane in modern clothing. Still, they’re not falling down my waistline like some of my 10s are, so I’m taking the win. (And I am NOT starting a cycle of looking to replace things with 8s, I have only just got 10s!)

Have a fabulous skinny week, everyone.

I tried a longer length leopard fur coat on the other day. I don't even think it fitted properly when I bought it years ago but optimism must have won over biology. It doesn't fit well yet but it's not far off.
@lovealongbath the regrowth is lovely to spot, isn't it. I've got a fringe so it's been easier to monitor the new baby hairs at the front. They aren't far off my eyebrows now.

@PinkArt Sounds like something to look forward to! I love the idea of a leopard coat right now - I wear a lot of solid colours and the pattern/texture appeals to me. Also, I watched Riot Women recently and was quite taken with Rosalie Craig’s character’s coat. (Yes I know she was supposed to be a Courtney Love-style mess, but she looked pretty great actually…)

I can't recommend a leopard fur coat enough! Or a pink fur. Or a rainbow stripe fur....
Partly due to a wool allergy, partly due to no self control I've got a large assortment of faux furs. They're so cosy when the weather is like this.

Oooh. I spent far too much time yesterday looking at fake fur coats. I want one that’s really really furry - not teddy bear or borg - proper long soft fur. It also needs to look like I could wear it in Narnia, and ideally cost less than £50 because like @RayonSunrise I need to start spending money on other people and not just me. I’m not sure this is achievable.

I tried my fake fur on last week, had stored it in a packing cube and it came out enormous, so static, felt like I was in an ostrich suit. So I didn’t wear to the funeral but will find an event for it, once it’s called down. Maybe I should febreeze it.

Not sure if this is any good, but I saw it instore today. Fits your budget and is long fur.

Maybe leave it in a steamy bathroom then use a hair dryer on a cool setting to revive the fur?

hope the funeral went as well as it could 💐

Snap! I’ve got a beautiful bright blue one. The family called me Sully when I used to wear it 😂

We’re nearly at the end of this thread, so new one here:
