We have all been on for heading up to 17mths now- we gathered our courage and started what would be a memorable journey for us all - made some hopefully forever friends

Gather round my little auggies 😍 and we are all doing amazingly so be proud of yourselves

The amount of weight per person lost varies from 1-2stone - 3-4 - 5-6 - 7+
in a year

We are amazing !!!

All of us have totally changed our body shape - reduced our bmi and weight and hopefully improved our health

most of us are at goal - and working out how to maintain - some nearing it
And some still have weight they want to lose

We are still here cheering you on till you get to your happy weight so please do carry on posting

Some have stopped for cost - esp after the aug announcements - still so thankful we started it when we did

Imagine Aug 25 and being told 2/3w later prices were increasing lots - I def couldn’t have managed a year of mj at new sept prices esp as doses didn’t really effect me even 15 !

ALL of us have lost weight and I love the fact we are all so supportive to each other over weight and our general day to day lives

This next year will almost be harder.

To keep the weight off Esp if reducing dose or off completely

@1clavdivs do you think it might be inflammation returning on the lower dose?

i guess you might have to play with the numbers and increase steps / exercise and knock 100 calories off and see what that does?

id first of all massively up your liquid to see if that helps, i definitely find if I do that it seems to flush out the excess fluid?

1clavdivs · 09/01/2026 10:06

Maybe it is. I’ve increased exercise (running, weights, martial arts) and I’m using the same meal plan as I was when I was losing. I think I’ll try increasing water. I was wanting to maintain on 5mg due to cost 😩

FurForksSake · 09/01/2026 10:36

It could well be inflammation and muscle stuff from the exercise. Maybe measure and track waist / hips / thigh and see what they say? Have you got access to body composition scales? That might be interesting.

1clavdivs · 09/01/2026 10:59

Body composition scales say I’m gaining fat, but the tape measure hasn’t changed

FurForksSake · 09/01/2026 11:06

Well the scales are a bitch and need to shut the f up.

Best take ever. I’ll have that.

Me tooooo! We only booked it a few days before we left so got a really good price on the hotel. Only here until Monday but worth every penny to get away from the cold!

We are home on Sunday. Would be amazing to meet up but my other half has no idea I am in an online group 😅 it's not a secret and he knows all about jabs, just didnt bother to explain! We are in the centre in a gorgeous private apartment. How about you?

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/01/2026 13:56

Oh @NippyNinjaCrab ((hugs)) but just shows how easily it it to out it back on

but sure some of it will be water and next week will be a whoosh

enjoy rest of holiday @Azuresky68 and you should weigh when back and compare it to Friday

@1clavdivs sorry to hear of gain as well - maybe you aren’t eating enough. You say well within and maybe body thinks being starved and holding onto fat

eat them all this week and as@FurForksSake said did you drink enough. The weeks I drink less water I notice it

and bad scales !!!

be lovely if you can meet up

2nd week on 2.5. I am def hungrier as I said at 4am 😂 and I am at the top end of my ballpark. Happens sometimes then following week I drop 2lbs / ballpark is 3lbs

measurements are still the same. I take those monthly

so not sure if where I’ve eaten more crap or just a natural increase but if I go to 10.8 next week I will be going back to 5

i wanted ideally to get to 2.5 for cost but

I have spent too much on this and not going to gain it back and be a fat fuck again

so if I need to stay on 5 so be it and will take out of a 10 and Ease the cost

I have 3 weddings this year. Don’t want to be fat at them. I have a dress for two of them in a 12 and one a 10 - which I still don’t think I am but …..

Snap! He's been scuba diving all week so I could have wandered away with no questions asked but he's finished now. If you do get chance, let me know. We're at the top end behind cc las palmeras. Hope you're having a lovely time.

20bloodypounds · 09/01/2026 15:11

@Azuresky68 @poppym12 I'm weeks behind you but going to the same place in February, and in a bizarre coincidence a friend will also be there!

@NippyNinjaCrab I think you know what you have to do. The first thing is to stop any more weight coming on. So stick with what you are and what you eat for a couple of weeks.Then gradually reduce. You will get back there.

Oh no!!! We're off to El Cotillo tomorrow, car booked and everything. Gutted. It would have been lovely to meet you - especially in a foreign land! I hope you have a delay free journey home @Azuresky68.

Morning all. Thank goodness it's Saturday, week back to work after Xmas has been unforgiving 😄
I got myself a smart watch with Christmas money which came yesterday- my NY resolution is Less scrolling, more strolling so I'm hoping I will pick up my phone less and get my arse moving! That's my plan at least 🫰I'm not eating badly (still on 15mg) I am drinking too much though and I want to get back to swimming every day. Hope this will shift the last stone

Azuresky68 · 10/01/2026 18:58

@poppym12 what a shame we couldn't meet! I have just booked very cheap flights in March for a week...we are only bringing rucksacks that go under the seat plus 1 cabin bag between 2!
It was so lovely to avoid Christmas food and all the emotions that go with it.
Back on track when I get home. Hang on in there everyone 😊

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/01/2026 19:34

For a week you will be fine @Azuresky68

im just so jealous how many holidays you have

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 10/01/2026 21:06

Jeez. I can’t stop eating tonight

And bad stuff

Lasagne and veg for lunch - that was fine

tea - party food stuff from freezer:Xmas - little satay squeezers - duck rolls - garlic prawns - 3 x crisps - crunchie bar - chocolate biscuits

I’m like the hungry caterpillar

is or in my mind or is it low 2.5

🙀😢😢😢

OP posts:
poppym12 · 10/01/2026 21:11

I'm sorry too @Azuresky68. II wish I'd known you were already out here when I arrived as we could have sorted something sooner. I'm also back here in March but staying further down the coast.

FurForksSake · 10/01/2026 21:11

It’s ok, we are learning and everyone has days where they are the hungry caterpillar. The trick is for tomorrow to not be like it and to get back to your maintenance. All the crap will be gone soon!

if it helps I’ve had a few miniature heroes, the last of the wensleydale with cranberries and a chicken burger. I was trying to fast until the chicken burger but did not succeed.

we go again!

ill be so pleased when the Christmas food is done and I’ll be much more cautious about what k buy next year.

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/01/2026 21:14

But is it coz I’m just eating it is it as on low dose

you are still on a high dose @FurForksSake
