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

Noooooooooo. I’ve been in the ballpark for 6mths

only once was i 10.2 and that was effort an meant i had lots 100 lbs

but sat on 10.4 for ages which is 7s loss

my low end isn’t going to get lower but if I do higher top end the much harder to get off

I’m been in ballpark for months but now creeping up 😢😢

@Blondeshavemorefun this is the time to notice it and dial back in. I’m going to be doing the same from next week. A few weeks of strictness and then gently easing up. It’s a cycle and we might do this forever, but this is what will keep us in the zone. Try tracking / dropping a few calories/ throwing in some extra exercises / double down on water/fibre/protein or whatever works. Catch it, check it, change it.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 21:25

Yes will be strict do a few weeks

maybe it’s half term

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 20/02/2026 21:28

I’m blaming half term. But that’s ok, it’s what we do next week that will matter, not what we do this week.

dh birthday on Sunday and his friend made him delicious cookies. I had one. That’s ok, on Monday it’ll be cottage cheese and grapes for the week 🤣

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 21:58

They don’t seem to be. My measurements are the same whether 10.4 or 10.8so …….

So it's 4 lbs and that's fine..but i get it. Your original goal was 11 st, mine was 9 stone..now you are still 6 pounds under your original goal so no need to panic (telling myself the same, just as you would say the same to me!)
We both need to get back on track!

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/02/2026 16:25

Replied

no not half a stone. Thank God. Or I would be hysterical 😳😳

my ballpark is 3lbs

10.4 lowest and 10.7 highest in the last 6mths . Today was10.8

maybe I’ve miscounted the cals but don’t think was that bad

My ball park was half a stone..and I went up the full 7 pounds last week. That was so scary!! Thank goodness I am on my way back down.
We will do this!!

@FurForksSake I like your 'catch it, check it, change it' mantra.

@Azuresky68 messaged you.

I'm still the same weight but today I feel much fatter and I'm convinced my tummy is as big as it was 18 months ago. I know it's not true, but years of being overweight and poor self-image means that I sometimes revert to those thoughts and feelings, even though I'm in small jeans!

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/01/2026 18:50

@NippyNinjaCrab how are you getting on ?
And @WitchDancer?

Hello, sorry I’ve been MIA. I’m doing ok in life but absolutely rubbish weight wise. A couple of weeks ago I matched my starting weight, so everything I lost I have put back on again. Such is life and I will loose it again, hopefully helped by Lent.

It rare that I come on MN now, but will pop up from time to time to see how you’re all doing.

Oh no, so sorry to hear this. Also, why I’m very scared to come off it.

I know you lost less weight for me but I would be devastated if I put seven stone back on s

I guess I will just somehow I have to afford it but I’m not quite sure how really I hope a tablet comes very very very very soon. Someone said possibly this year.

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/02/2026 19:36

@WitchDancer sorry that’s my reply. Probably came across quite rude and I didn’t mean it like that. I’ve been. I personally would be really upset if I put my seven stone on well I’m sure you’re not devastating roundabout but probably annoyed.

I’m probably digging myself a bigger hole you know what I didn’t mean I reply horribly

WitchDancer · 22/02/2026 19:51

lol it’s fine @Blondeshavemorefun
I’m angry with myself, plus the situation that means I can’t afford to stay on MJ.

It’s not your fault we still have HELP

@WitchDancer so sorry to hear you have regained. I hope you get back to your weight loss journey. We are all still here to support you. For me it's been a lifelong journey to be continued. This group is amazing. Sending you big hugs x

Azuresky68 · 23/02/2026 08:12

For whatever reason I just can't rid of the 5 pounds to get me back to my maintenance goal of 8 st 5 pounds. I can't lose it on 1250 calories a day so back to another jab of 10 tomorrow and gritting teeth for a week on 1000 calories a day. I wish I could get back to my original jab day of Friday to help with restricting my weekend eating.

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/02/2026 14:49

Can’t you jab 5 tomorrow and then 10 on Friday

or not jab tue and jab thur night then Fri am next week

why did you start jabbing on Tue

this is why I jab Fri as weekends are usually more calories /bad stuff cake with mini blondes etc

maybe @Azuresky68 your body can’t sustain 8/5 esp if went to drop to low dose of mj

and will need to be 8/10

and as you said to me your how was 9 and you went under it

I feel the same as you and don’t want to be 11 an why I am pulling myself back up at 10/8

1000c a day sounds harsh as im back on 1200 and find that tight

I had better lose Fri lol

Yes I agree..going to jab tomorrow and Friday. Gosh someone commented on another thread that 5 pounds is lot of weight 🤣😱.....I am just glad i have lost 30 pounds. To be honest I can't see any difference in how I look..I just don't like the numbers on the scales. I am sure you can't see a difference either. We are just terrified of going back up to our original weight, but i am sure it will always be a struggle 🤔😩😕

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/02/2026 19:25

I do see a diff when I do side to side pics an I have to remind myself sometimes of this

so do a before /after and sure you will see those 30lbs. Thats over 2s

OP posts:
20bloodypounds · 23/02/2026 22:50

I think we have to use that fear and struggle to our advantage. We know we are so much better at our lower weight, we've experienced and enjoyed for some months (not just the one 'lucky' morning that used to happen on conventional diets). We need to use all that as motivation to get the dose right for each one of us, to get the calories right for our own bodies, and to learn to navigate the weight and emotional impact of high days and holidays and the consequences.

@Azuresky68 like you I enjoy a glass of wine (too much sometimes). But I'm thinking would I rather have another glass of wine that in all honesty won't do much for me, or would I rather feel healthy and happy, proud of my achievements, and wearing clothes that I like?

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/02/2026 12:33

How are we all doing ? Tho I didn’t always eat my 1800 I am now missing the 500 and being on 1300 is hard tho obv 1000 is harder @Azuresky68

@NippyNinjaCrab how are you doing. You said you weee going to weigh once a month at the end

FurForksSake · 24/02/2026 12:58

I went to see gynaecologist today about periods and a growth. Had to tell him my current medications and told him I was on mj. He was so funny! He told me I’d either done really well or I was an addict, I told him I’d lost six stone and he then told me I looked amazing. So that was nice 🤣

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/02/2026 13:02

An addict ? As we are on medication
