@cheekysausage123I have created another thread (hope you dont mind) as first thread has been closed.

Weighing today but decided not to as its time of the month and I feel very bloated.

@Moosey898I’m so sorry, what a really rough time for you. Such a lot to deal with.

I had of several years like that where at new year I would say “next year would be better” and be proved wrong. I totally get the feeling of wanting the festive stuff to just go away. Do give yourself some kindness and grace though.

It’s week 7 and am hovering above the next stone down this morning! 🎉
SW 13st.4lb
CW 13st.1/4lb
Can’t believe it 🤯
Still a couple more stone to go. But am really encouraged ⭐️

Ps sorry @Moosey898 I didn’t reply before, I’m really hoping 2026 is good to you and yours x

Great work @StrongLikeMamma!

We’ve got the first of Xmas festivities at ours this weekend, v odd being less interested in the food than normal. Although will still definitely have a couple of pigs in blankets!

Sorry starting weight was 14st4lbs! 🙄🙈

5 days since the last jab and I can tell it’s wearing off - no fatigue today 👍

C25k week 5 run 2 completed as it’s not raining for a change…. I only wish I had somewhere flatter to run - it’s uphill in pretty much every direction from home.

@StrongLikeMamma well done! That. Ext stone is calling - I’m sure you’ll get there in another week.

Well done @StrongLikeMamma and gosh well done for running @putthehamsterbackinitscage

Hi all, I’ve been unwell with D&V and didn’t eat for 2 days! Was so, so sick. On the mend now, didn’t jab today as only just started to feel better today so don’t want to risk

I’ll be starting my 7.5 on Monday, ordered a 10mg as was on offer for £199 so sorted for a few months now.

sw 15.6
cw 13.2
would like to be in the 12’s by Christmas 🤶

Whoop! 12.13 this morning 🎉

Fabulous! Well done!

Its such a nice feeling isnt it!! Well done!

Its been 5 weeks today since I started. Felt rough yesterday but I came on so along with upping to 3.75 I am not sure what is making me feel so awful! I have had awful sickness and dizziness with periods recently, been getting worse over last couple of years! Slightly better today but still feel sick!

Happy with weightloss though

Height 5ft 4
SW 12 stone
CW 10 stone 11.6
TW 9-9.5 stone

Wore fitted jeans last night and didnt need my spanx and they didnt make me feel like I was desperate to take them off and get in my pjs! Not good enough to wear with a fitted top but it still felt nice.

🙌🙌🙌 @SexyFrenchDepression

@putthehamsterbackinitscage Well done on your second run for week 5, you got run 3, let us now how it goes 💪. Completed week 3, about to go into week 4.

@StrongLikeMamma@narcASD@SexyFrenchDepression Well done on your losses

It gets boring when it's really flat though, the biggest hill where I live is a slanted paving slab 😂 I do miss running but I have am injury that means I can't anymore.

Hows everyone doing?

I'm finally in the 10s!! One more stone (and a bit) to go..

Took first 5mg jab this evening... hoping side effects are minimal!

Just reading through the thread. So sorry you've had such an awful year @Moosey898. Sending hugs xx

Jab 8 done this morning. 5mg again thought about reducing but going to stick it out and see if the fatigue lessens.

in 6 weeks I have lost 16.8 pounds. Really happy with progress so far. The jeans I used to cram myself into now fit without a muffin top 😂😂😂.

Its so nice getting into the next stone bracket, a great motivator.

@PfizerFanwell done! Hope the move to 5mg is going ok so far.

Well done @PfizerFan🙌🎉

A dud week for me, weight is exactly the same but my period started today and this happened last month too! So I'm expecting a bit of a loss next week, hopefully 1kg.

Only one more run left on my couch to 5k!

And thank you to everyone for the lovely comments. It's been a really rough year. Hopefully 2026 can bring a little light, even though there will still be hard times xx

Week 5 run 3 done today in the rain. DH came with me for a steady run and definitely helped me keep going.

The first mile was tough as all up hill but then levelled off and downhill to finish - I ran for 22 minutes rather than 20 as the downhill was so much easier so all good and ready for week 6 👍.

Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. hope your feeling better now

I did my usual jab fri morning of 5mg , my 6th dose on 5mg, went out for lunch with hubby didn’t really enjoyed ate half a chicken burger and chips and 2 onion rings and then later in the evening I had a chicken wrap. Woke up sat morning with an achy stomach and by the afternoon I had vomiting and diarrhoea which lastest most of the evening. Still got an achy stomach today but so much better. I’m baffled where that came from as it’s not like I moved up a dose or anything. Hubby was like those jabs don’t agree with you by the last time I had a few episodes of diarrhoea was when I moved up to 5mg and it wasn’t as bad as last night.

im just baffled what it could have been to cause this xx
