Placemarking xx

Thank you for the new thread, just checking in! 😊

Wow new thread time! Thanks for starting thread 10 @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne

I’m just home from a lovely festive night out with friends, had a couple of NSVs today. Firstly, I bought a pair of size 10 jeans and they fit. Size 10! Secondly, I wore a dress tonight that I would never have dreamed of wearing before and actually felt good in it! So good in fact, I’m sharing a photo. The one on the left is the photo I took when I first ordered MJ, second one is from tonight.

Morning all
Thankyou for new thread
Weight loss very slow here ..
Totally of my food at the moment as well , nothing is inspiring me ..
Are there any other vegans on here ...give me some inspiration

Oh pants .. forgot I've name changed
I'm Autumnflowers2

Oh wowzers @MummyInTheNecropolis - what a difference! You look amazing! Size 10...what an inspiration!

@MummyInTheNecropolis wow, the difference is incredible, what an amazing achievement!

Thank you, I was a bit tipsy when I posted that last night and now I’m embarrassed- I wasn’t meaning to sound so vain 🙈

Don't be daft, you have every right to be proud - we're certainly never reluctant to beat ourselves up, might as well embrace the flip side every now and then!

Wow @MummyInTheNecropolis such a huge diff. Well done

I do love a before /after

I love Before/After, too.

You look great @MummyInTheNecropolis!

@MummyInTheNecropolis That's an incredible achievement, you should be proud! Hopefully next year I'll be able to make the same kind of post. For now it's week 4 weigh in and I'm officially down 1st/6.5kg. BMI has dropped from 46.8 to 44.5 and excited to start my 5mg pen this evening

Wow @MummyInTheNecropolis, you look amazing! I bet size 10 doesn't feel real, I certainly can't imagine it!

Thanks for the new thread.

I'm 3.5lbs off having lost 8st and am still marvelling to myself what a wonder drug MJ is! Have another 6st to lose to get close to a healthy BMI but the fact that I'm over halfway there in 10 months is a miracle!

Went out for tapas last night. Food was delicious, only managed a small bit of each plate but really enjoyed it and was amazed actually how full I got so quickly as I feel like I can eat quite a decent portion nowadays. I feel like for a long time MJ's main affect has been to help me stick to 3 not-huge meals a day with no snacking rather than making eating a struggle - which I'm pleased about, but it is nice to feel it's effects quite strongly again every now and then especially as I've still got a long way to go.

Wow @MummyInTheNecropolis you look absolutely amazing!
Thank you @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne for the new thread and for the very wise words about any feelings of despondency with how quickly or slowly weight is lost. Coming from someone who has been losing for 2 whole years (you are an inspiration!) it really is helpful to know that it IS possible.
I will also be on this journey for at least 2 years I would think. Not to mention the lifelong journey to this point or what happens when I get to any form of goal weight! I’ve been taking Mounjaro for 16 weeks, feel lighter, brighter and more hopeful than I have for a long time and I’ll keep going for as long as it takes!
Have a great week everyone x

Hello!

I've spent a while catching up and love reading a the updates. I don't take notes though and my memory is shot so im not going to be able to mention people by name but I so want to reply to everyone!

Thinking of you all and I am reading even if I'm quiet and so grateful people are sharing their stories.

Just to echo that yes to weight loss naturally slowing down. Thats absolutely to be expected. And hugs to everyone struggling. Thinking of those with funerals or recently split up with partners or in hospital in particular x

I'm took Jab 47 on Friday. (8mg)

SW Jan - 21st11
Cw today - 14st3
Next goal - 13st3 (bmi 30) Not obese will be fab.
Sort of goals

• not to have handfuls of stomach and wear size 14 jeans happily.
• 11stone for bmi 25 but I'd love to be 10stone 7. I don't know how realistic this will be.

Sometimes when I look at the numbers it doesn't seem real or possible what has happened already. Or when I look at photos and think about my limited mobility and general depression I was in this time last year.

My stomach feels huge. I know it's much smaller than it was. It's not round or hard it's much lower down and squishy... But it's feeling increasingly like an appendage attached to me and not in proportion to the rest of my body. I can't wear jeans yet or trousers as my lower stomach still feels round. My clothes size overall is restricted by my stomach.

Its strange. I can grab fist fulls of fat in my stomach and legs but it's all so loveable, I can sink fingers into my skin, it's like playdough. It's so different to being pregnant or morbidly obese when it was solid.

• I've just passed being "under 200lbs" which I think is wonderland.
• I'm nearly at bmi 30. Another stone...
• I've lost over 7.5 stone now.

My current world is I'm full time in person with almost no flexibility and I'm finding that hard. I've stopped the exercise which I want to get back to but I'm in survival mode a bit. I love the job though but it's all consuming. My Saturdays I often just crash especially after a difficult week and then I dont have time to catch up with life.

🤣 I was just about to tag your previous user name.

I'm sure there's another vegan on here somewhere.

Thanks for the new thread @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne what a talkative bunch of losers we are 😍

I stayed the same this week. Again, no surprise, and didn't leave my room again for the week. I was feeling pretty despondent (and scoffed the pan au chocolat kindly left by my bed by a helpful night staff HCA!) but then I came on here and saw @MummyInTheNecropolis's pictures and SHIT 😍what a hefty dose of motivation that has been for me today! You look stunning in that dress and I bet you felt a million dollars. I'm really, really happy for you.

I'm going to goal set for this week. Sometimes that feels too hard but I feel I can this week. For weight loss but also to help me try to get discharged by christmas. I'm not aiming 100% but good to have goals.

1. get dressed every day
2. shower every day
3. go outside for a walk every day. Even 5 mins.
4. no lattes or mochas or tea with sugar in AT ALL. White coffee only
5. get up in time to get my own breakfast of a yogurt or muller rice so nobody brings me a pan au chocolat. This will be hard!

ps lovely to hear from you @FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden I'm sure you're knackered at the weekends. I can relate about your belly, for me it's my bum/hips/legs as they look absurdly out of proportion now to my top half because of the lipoedema. At least when I was fat all over it just kinda made me a huge blob. Now I look weird. But nothing I can do.

Anyway lots of love to you and maybe look at halara jeans which are meant to be good for bigger tums xx

Thank you @PearlTeapot, glad to hear you are feeling positive and working on getting yourself home for Christmas. Your goals sound great, good luck with them, I’ll be thinking of you

I was sick yesterday..
I'd made about 20 low calorie vegetable wraps and frozen them ..then yesterday I must got fed up with eating them, because I knew as I ate the last mouthful it wasn't going to stay down ...
So that's that ..no idea what I will eat now ..
I don't know if you remember me saying..but I spent my entire life living of crisps and the odd salad sandwich..then 4 months before I started monjroro I gave up crisps completely..
I still miss crisps...
I cook meals for the family..but I don't eat them .
I need to find a replacement for the wraps

Excellent goals teapot ..need to set some for myself ..your inspiring me xx

@MummyInTheNecropolis thank you for sharing the progress pic, you look amazing and a gorgeous dress!

@FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden wonderful to hear how you are getting on. It must be a big change going up to full time. I haven't been full time since before my eldest was born and I think it's totally natural for it to be a big adjustment period.

@PearlTeapot setting some daily goals is a great idea, hope it all goes well for you this week.

@Snowcat5 you sound like your eating is so disordered now, what does an average week look like for you?
