Roll up, roll up (if you can, you skinny Minnie’s!) to all the brave WL warriors still battling on and hanging on in there.

8 months in … welcome to thread 8! 🥰

This thread I pledge:
to do two exercise sessions per week.
(There I’ve said it. Better do it now, hadn’t I).

Goal:
Find an amazing dress to wear for an awards ceremony I am going to in November.

Anyone else got any particular targets?

Big love to you all x

Hi @Dumplers - that’s amazing!

The thread has gone quiet, I think we’re all in a different place now. I found it so valuable during the ‘journey’ and it’s still great to check back! How are people doing?

I’m still on the MJ. I went right down to 2.5mg and boy, was I hungry. I’m clearly someone who is not going to manage without, at least for the foreseeable. Maintaining at goal now, with effort. Building muscle. Trying not to overspend on clothes!

Loving being slim, and still settling into it.

Happy Friday, warriors! (blast from the past) 💐

its quiet here now.

I have lost 20KG and for the last few months have been +/- 1/2 KG on weekly basis after titrating down from 10mg to 5mg slowly.

seems my 'happy' weight is where I am at now, still overweight, but people still commenting that I am losing weight scales say different so it must be shape😎

looking to drop to 2.5mg in the next few weeks using the last 7.5pen over 10 weeks with a view to coming off completely when that ends

Hi Spiralsister and Narky spirit
Well done ladies on your losses, I'm dreading having to come off MJ or titrate down, even while on it I sometimes seem to be eating more than I was at the beginning.
Omg, the amount I've spent on new clothes. I've had to get rid of stuff I've bought but never worn as too big. I bought size 14s thinking I'll slim in to them and get some wear eventually, I couldn't believe it when they fittted.
Lovely to hear from you both, haven't we all done well? Xx

SpiralSister · 10/04/2026 09:45

We absolutely have! 💐

Hi everyone, lovely to hear how people are doing

I am still on MJ and was stuck at the same weight for ages, but I have just come back from a trip in Asia and have lost some more. I am now 65.2kg and a healthy BMI. My goal is 65kg, so close to goal now, but it was an arbitrary goal and not sure whether I want to lose more or not, my lower belly is smaller than it was, but still sticks out too much. Will start titrating down now (have been on 8.75mg for quite a while).

I am enjoying being small. Clothes take up less space and weigh less, so I bring more 'stuff' back in my suitcase.

Going to try a poll!
If you are still on MJ and have no plans to stop, respond to this post with a clap
If you are still on MJ but are planning to stop on the next three months, respond with a thumbs up.
If you have switched to another GLP1, respond with a heart.
If you have come off everything completely, respond with flowers.
I will tot up the answers and post the results!

I can't believe it, I have reached my goal. Weighed in this morning and I am 64.5kg. Yesterday must have been water retention from the 14 hour flight, plus weighing myself in the evening. I was just keen to see what my weight was after my trip.

That's a grand total of 32kg lost, or 5 stone in just about 14 months.

Loose skin isn't a major issue, but it does need to tighten up a bit, as I have very mild crepeing in places, and skin bulges over my bra strap so I don't have a good 'line'.

I will be trying to come off MJ. I won't be rushing, so it might take more than 3 months, or I might speed up a bit of I keep losing too much. I will play it by ear and see what seems right. Next dose will be 7.5mg (from 8.75mg). I have a 15mg pen and a 7.5mg pen in the fridge, so hoping these will do me until the end.

It seems so strange to not need to lose weight. I can't remember ever being the right weight, even though for a lot of my life I was more overweight than obese. A great strange to be though. Hoping the diet changes to high protein and avoiding UPFs will help sustain healthy eating patterns, and my choices will be better even if eating more.

Been a while for me, still on 15mg of MJ. My weight is bobbing around 11st 1 to 3 at the moment. My weight loss has been temporarily derailed by Easter and DD coming home from uni for a week and demanding her favourite meals! I’ve lost around 4 st by now, still have another 1 to 2 to go to be at a healthy weight. Even though weight loss has been very slow, people are really noticing now. I’m really enjoying being able to go into shops and try on clothes!

Hey,

It's nice to catch up with everyone! I'm currently bouncing around 12.4-12.6 and have been for ages. I'm currently doing 40 clicks out of my 10mg pen every 10 days.

I'm hoping to lose more but I don't want to increase my dose as I'm worried when I need to come off. Even though I'm not losing people do keep commenting I've lost more. Not sure if it's just because I'm now wearing smaller clothes ( in denial about being a smaller size for ages) or the gym classes are paying off 😂

I do have a big issue of loose skin on my arms, I've always had big arms even in my teens. They are bothering me but I'm going to have to learn to love them as surgery isn't for me.

I'll keep plodding but the summer is looking brighter and lighter ❤️❤️

MrsHero · 11/04/2026 16:37

Nice to catch up! I'm now 9st 3, and have just passed 4st loss, which I could never even have imagined when I started last year. I feel so much better about my body and have spent the last week with the kids in the garden feeling so energised, it's brilliant!

Planning to continue for now, have just started weaning myself down from 10mg, but not really sure how to go about it. I don't think I want to lose any more as have got some lovely new clothes which I would like to keep fitting... but don't want to gain either!

Oh well done you! And well done to all and hi after a little while of radio silence! Am still going on the jab, been maintaining since about last September, my weight is within about a two kg (4lb ish) range. So easy to maintain now, BMI 20.5-20.9ish normally. Hoping to keep gradually titrating down, have made a start from 7.5 to 6.25 since the start of the year. Not sure I want to be on it forever (my bank account- ouch!), but suspect it’s also doing excellent things for my inflammation…
