@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.

Week 6 jab due today. I'm another shortarse at 4'11" so weight gain really shows.

Sw 68kg
Cw 63.35 kg
Tw don't really know but 8 stone used to be my standard weight until peri. Ideally 7 10

Still on 2.5 but suppression is declining so will move to 5 on next pen. Really happy with slow weight loss at 1.5 is per week.
Only real side effect is tiredness but work has been very stressful so can't rule that out as a cause. I get plenty of sleep and have taken various supplements for years.

Fantastic, well done.

Thank you.
Suppression still good and no food noise.

That's a good steady loss. We'll all get where we want to be now we know we can do it. Glad you're feeling better.

Well done everyone! Some great losses. I think we're all settling into the routine now which is good. This isn't the sort of thing where it's a couple of months and done.

I did the first run of week 8 on couch to 5k today and surprised myself - my running watch is broken and I've posted it off for repair so didn't know how far or fast I'd gone until after and I was really pleased 😄

Now holding off eating or drinking too much as I've got to do an in person BMI at the fertility clinic today, and whilst I've got about 2kg wiggle room I don't trust unknown scales!

Brilliant well done!
I've lost over 2 stone too but no one's said a thing!
I've only told my youngest DD I'm on Mounjaro I daren't tell my eldest DD as she's a health freak and might disapprove. 😢😂

Good luck today at the fertility clinic let us know how you get on xx

Thank you! All went great, everything is looking good in there which is fab news. I was so worried the infection I had would have caused issues or I wouldn't be fully healed yet but nope - everything is totally normal/good end of normal. My BMI came out the best yet - their scales dropped a kilo compared to my ones at home and they measured me 1cm taller! 🤣

That’s absolutely amazing, what’s next for you on your fertility journey if you don’t mind me asking xx

So we are prepping for IVF, hoping to start Jan but realistically may be Feb. We have our consultation on Monday 8th, and from there need to do more paperwork and book a planning appointment with the nurse. If we can get the planning appointment pre Christmas we should be able to start in January but I know they are super busy so trying not to get my hopes up too much.

We are eligible for IVF with PGT testing on the NHS due to my chromosome translocations.

Does mean next week may be my last injection though if we can get in for January!

@Moosey898great news! You must be thrilled

@Meandmypooch glad it’s not just me then! I know I’ve still got about 3.5-4st to lose but it nice when people notice. My brother a health freak and a personal trainer and I was worried to say to him, he surprised me by being really positive and said being so overweight is more of a rush than injections, he is anti vaccine too so his response floored me.

I am going to see some friends Sunday, got my outfit and feel really good in it, first time in years I’m not avoiding going out and feeling rubbish as I’ve nothing to wear!

Good on you! My eldest DD is manager of a health spa and Hotel! She's not anti vaccine though infact during the covid19 pandemic I told them they weren't coming near me till they'd had the vaccine! 😂

@Moosey898 Thrilled for you! And well done on your week 8 run 👏. Completed week 2, unto week 3 for me.

Absolutely enjoy reading how everyone is doing great on their health journey💪

Thanks @jaelato1 - yay for making it to week 3! 😁 Hope you're getting satisfaction from completing each one.

I have everything crossed for you @Moosey898-wishing you so much luck with this journey

Yes good luck @Moosey898! 💛

Week 6 and 16lbs down today.
Just trying on some of my dresses for a party I have to go to tonight and they fit sooo much better ☺️

I’m thinking though, that perhaps I had actually gone up another size but just been wearing a snug fit - so it’s going to take at least another stone to drop a dress size!

Well done @StrongLikeMamma- I feel a bit the same. Similar amount lost and I don’t need new clothes but I feel so much more comfortable!!

That’s so exciting, I wish you both the best of luck xx

NSV - I put on a pair of size 16 jeans that I haven’t worn in ages as they were to tight and they fit! I’m landed 😊 I think I will need a belt as my stomach keeps them up in the front but they fall down at the back and all day I’ve been yanking them back up 😂. I normally live in leggings so you can’t really tell then without measuring if you’ve lost inches. I do definitely need to re-measure myself though. I try and do it every month x

🙌👏

So yesterday evening had dinner at dd's. Had a tiny piece of coffee and walnut cake. Just sat looking at it for a while, then quite reluctantly ate it. Didn't really want it but was curious more than anything about eating sugar again after 2 months of not having any. Oh my god, it was so sweet and not in a nice way. Then last night I was sick. Its amazing what this jab is doing.

@Moosey898 very best of luck on your IVF journey.

@Elliebearblues its a great feeling isn't it? I've just gone down to the next size in jeans 😃

@Shitzngiggles I literally feel sick just looking at sugary food, it is amazing how it changes how we see food.

I just ordered some dresses that are a size down and I have been using a belt to hold up my jeans lol. Now week 9 and 1st 9.1lbs lighter

@StrongLikeMamma Yes! 👏

@Moosey898 Defo enjoying it! first 3 mins run at a go on monday 😅

Well done everyone! I am not losing this past 2 weeks but my period just started. Also I have prosecco on Friday and Saturday. I am staying on 2.5 as still suppressing, staying under 1200 calories except on Friday this week when the prosecco took me 300 calories over.

I am starting weights again next week so will see how that goes. I’m 163/164lbs now, starting weight was 177/178lbs.

I have gone with a new pharmacy (pharmacy2u) because a friend sent me a £75 referral code. I can refer 10 people for the same amount (it’s usually £50 but this is a Black Friday thing). Price was going to be £186 but I only paid £111 for my 2.5 pen order. If anyone is interested I will put the code here? If we aren’t doing codes here just let me know and sorry if it’s not appropriate but it’s a good discount and if anyone uses it I get another discount
