Join us here to celebrate NSV’s, weight loss milestones, maintenance and new stone brackets!

We recommend the Shotsy app to monitor the amount of MJ in the system and pleasing graphs to look at…plus the MeThreeSixty body scan app to monitor inch loss for the weeks where weight loss is slow but you might have lost body fat etc. Both are free.
Feel free to swap recipes that might inspire anyone in a food rut, tips for managing side effects, exercise tips, tips for maintenance, titrating up or down and we love a wellness/supplements/beauty/ style chat too 🤗

I need to think about a next order… will be researching the various pharmacies later.

11k is amazing! In awe of this effort 🙌

I think you’re doing exactly the right thing. In ‘before times’ we’d not have worried about a pound, nowadays we’re eagle-eyed to make sure it isn’t a slippery slope. Amazing the difference isn’t it?

A Frio wallet is your friend. Get one off Amazon. It will keep pen cool for 24 hrs. It’s what lots of diabetics and WLI users have. Mine has been to India, Crete and Germany. Easy to use and costs about £20. Easy to take on plane in hand baggage and then you can use the mini fridge.

Interestingly it's the opposite for me. I would have worried before that it was all going to shit and what's the point and if I'm gaining anyway I might as well eat a pack of Jaffa Cakes or three. Now I think we'll that's just a rogue week and next week will be better. Trusting the process to keep working has been quite a novelty!

Oooh @Mounjaropen your life sounds so lovely and glam.

have a fabulous holiday @jay55. A month sounds awesome!

@TheSlimmingPumpkin well done on running 11k that’s amazing.

having had childrens birthdays and a spa break this month I’m hovering 1lb outside of the range I’ve given myself. So March will be trying to get back into the lower end of my range. I’ve also booked on a half marathon which I’m a bit of the fence about. I struggled my way through 9 miles yesterday. I can’t tell you all how grateful I was to stop. And I used bus paths on a sunny winter Sunday as an excuse to stop en route too!

Ordered, thank you.
I travel on a Friday (Miami, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, LA) and usually jab on a Monday. I’m thinking I’ll take a pen with three doses in, and spread them over the 4 weeks.

Sounds absolutely fabulous! Hope the disorder in Mexico calms down by the time you get there (or you’re stopping at a calmer region).

That sounds like the most fabulous trip! Have a wonderful time 🥰

Not sure if anyone is having a clear out, but I've uploaded 15 items to Vinted this afternoon and have sold 3 within the hour. Mainly I've uploaded unwanted perfume/beauty bits from advent calendars etc. Seems like it might be a good week to sell with Payday at the end of the week...;-)

Ooh well done! My vinted pile is HUGE. I’m in the office tomorrow but will be listing Thursday and Friday. I’ve invested in more parcel bags and bubble wrap so I’m all set!

Just sold another 😂

I'm now £60 up from stuff sitting in a drawer. And I've rejected two more offers on other items...

Get listing!!

Braving my pink Boden trench I got in the sale today. It seems even brighter now I’m out of the house and on the train. I’m so out of my comfort zone I’m practically in the next universe 🤣

I think it’ll be just perfect for what looks like will be a wonderfully sunny day. I’ve got new peloton leggings and t shirts to wear for tennis today 🥰

in other news, two more fragrances sold on Vinted… 😉 I’ll be devoting the rest of today to uploading more stuff I think!

Boots have a 25% off premium skincare today if anyone needs a stock up.. I’m a sucker for the Elemis cleansing balm and had a couple of Armani bits that needed replacing. I’ve also got a GWP box too.

Ah thanks for the tip. I’ve splurged on some bits from Boots now too! Hadn’t realised they did Rituals now so I’ve got the Sakura body spray (love that) and some Clinique (lash power mascara and foundation). Have also qualified for a free beauty gift so will see what that is!

A few weeks ago I sorted all my skincare, hair stuff etc into plastic tubs and am on a no spend for the foreseeable.

It is so sunny today, a spring miracle after the endless rain, perfect day for a pink coat, imagine it looks amazing.

Having a weird week, not gone up a dose but, stomach like a washing machine, can’t eat, was sick yesterday after trying. I don’t think I’m ill but it’s like the early weeks, very annoying. Making a baked potato for lunch in the hope of it soaking up the acid.

It's a great day for lighter outfits, at last!

I've sold £355 worth of stuff across eBay and Vinted now. Amazing how it adds up. I don't list anything under about £10 but max has been £40. Nice seeing stuff go off to people who will hopefully enjoy it too.

Well it was lovely seeing my colleagues today and I had 4 people tell me how nice my coat was! So that made it worth the journey!

I had an email from vinted advising me I earned just over £1000 in 2025. Goes to show how much I had squirrelled away and owned but didn’t wear! And also what I have shrunk out of. And my ‘to sell’ pile is huge again. I’m hoping I can do the same again!

I’ve gone a bit mad on the spending front lately (excitement to fit into nice things) so it’s much needed. I’ve also squirrelled away lots of size 14 and 16 items in case I blob back up again… hopefully I don’t… will revisit that later in the year. I’m still on MJ and will be for a while so time will tell.

M&S have some half price bras in their sale.
Panache, fantasy , Freya , random sizes but worth checking out.

Finally I am declaring a six stone loss. After what seems an eternity of bobbing around between 9 stone 13 and 10 stone 1 I seemed to have spent a week at 9 stone 12 / 62.5kg.

so klaxon for me 🔔📣🔔📣🔔📣🔔📣🔔📣

4lbs to go to reach a BMI of 25.

Congratulations!! Amazing! 🤩 📣🔔📣🔔♥️

Fantastic news @TheSlimmingPumpkin! 🎉🎉🎉

I’ve little to report, in a no news is good news maintenence kind of way. I realised I should have considered sizing down my bra when I reached goal, so I tried a smaller band last week. Everything is now nicely hoiked up , which is great because all my clothes look better but now means I’m looking at replacing my bra drawer too - one workhorse beige bra at a time, I think! (Sorry DH!)

Congratulations you skinny bitch! 🍾

Fabulous!! Well done!!

Hey skinny bitches, just checking in after being awol for a few weeks. Work has been insane. But I'm now sat at the airport waiting for my flight home, munching slices of apple and congratulating myself for not face planting a massive burger and chips.

No losses to report. In fact I've been bouncing between 10 st 3lb and 10 st 7lbs for a few weeks. So really need to knuckle down and focus if I want to get under 10 stone. This is my 2nd week of 7.5mg (down from 10mg) and I'm not noticing much difference in suppression so far....fingers crossed that continues!

Nothing else exciting to report really but very inspired by all your vinted selling. There's quite a few items lurking in my wardrobe that I know are far too big for me now, so it's time to rehome them and make space for spring/summer clothes!
