Thread 12!

Just say 'feeling good'

I now weigh what I weighed when I gave birth to DS, nearly 16 years ago. That's a funny feeling!

Thank the lord, was worried 😫

After medicine marketplace refused to prescribe for me I went to oushk, they are still expensive bu5 they've said I can have wegovy. Let's see if it arrives. Ordered for beginner of April

Oooh good luck @Doggymummar hopefully the change gives your weight loss a kick

A landmark NSV for me.

I bought a pair of jeans in about 1994, from Affleck’s in Manchester. They are vintage Levi 501s, but dyed purple. The shop had them dyed in all colours.

They were a little snug when I bought them but they fit.

I bought them when I was 29. I’m now 61. I’ve been lugging them around for years. Through 5 house moves, always in th hope I could wear them because they’re vintage Levi 501s and they’re purple. Obviously.

Today they fit and comfortably!

No stretch, no Lycra.

I cannot begin to tell you how happy they make me!

Oh Afflecks used to be great, not been for years. Wish I'd kept all my 2000s clothes!

That is amazing @TragicMuse!

Amazing @TragicMuse ! I so wish I’d kept my Levi’s from when I was younger - I had 3 pairs (blue, black, white) that I wore throughout the six form (the biggest size they did at that point but hey). By the time I went to uni, and certainly within a term of being there, I’d put on weight. I have been thinking about my weight as I’ve always been fat and I remember weighing 14 stone when I was 14, and then rapidly 16 stone, then for all of my adult life I’ve been 19-plus (sometimes a long way plus). The numbers that many of you have reached after being a similar weight to me totally feel like an impossible fantasy to me.

Who remembers when a size 14 was FAT and a size 16 (horror) would have sent you to Weight Watchers in despair?

Yes, I'm going back many, many years, and sizes have changed a lot since my youth in the 1960s and 1970s.

I was looking at my jumper last night when I was getting ready for bed. It's a size 8 - 10 but I know jolly well that when I was a teenager (1970s) it would have been about a 12 - 14.

I've always wanted a pair of Diesel jeans and last time I lot a significant amount of weight (the Lighter Life era) I promised myself a pair when I got to goal. I never got there so never got the jeans. Maybe this time!

I'd love a pair of really good quality jeans but they're so expensive I struggle to justify the money. Maybe if I manage to maintain at goal for 12 months that can be my reward as I know they'll fit for a long time!

I don't know how quality they are these days but Levi's outlets usually have jeans on clearance obviously gotta get lucky them having your size in a style you want but if you have one near and you're not in a rush it might be worth calling in. It's one of the things I want to buy but I'll need to do some measurements of my legs as they are not in proportion!

This resonates heavily. I remember going to Chelsea Girl in about 1981 or so and bought a white New Romantic shirt, with a frilly front, and a pair of red trousers. They were a 14. I felt huge all the time. A 16 would have been beyond the pale. School uniform was hard to get in my size, in fact clothes in general weren’t particularly easy…

@Theringcycle I’ve been over 19 stone for a good few years, creeping up from anything from 15s to 17s for years before that. I’m in the 12s now after a year…

You can do this!

Thank you @TragicMuse - this is so encouraging to hear! It’ll take me a long time to get my head round this I think - and then another long time to manage family reactions / relationships when I’ve always been the fat one.

Weigh-in day, Week 5, Lost 2.5lbs
SW 20st 12lb/132.5kgs
CW 20st 1.5lbs/127.7kgs
Total loss so far - 10.5lbs/4.8kgs

Hoping to get into the 'teens' next week.

Ooh you're doing really well!

Week 47, and I've stayed the bloody same this week, argh!! So for the last 4 weeks, I've been losing and gaining the same lb, and now weigh the same as I did at the end of January. Not a single lb lost for a whole bloody month!! I'm really trying to look at the bigger picture, and of course, it still means I am 6 1/2st down, but it's so flaming frustrating. I'm tracking, and doing everything right, so I know it will start moving again soon, but if anyone can given it a nudge for me, it would be much appreciated 😊. I am still hoping to get to 7st for my jabiversary in 5 weeks, fingers crossed.

SW 22st 8lb
CW 16st 8lb still 🤬
GW interim 11st 4lb

How's everyone else's week going? More productive than mine, I hope x

Well I haven't lost any weight, but I've had a couple of days of eating crap, so it's my own fault.

You've had a stressful week Broon, I think you can allow yourself a few days of eating crap 💐. How are you doing?

I've had a bit of an odd few days - my brain wants to binge, but my stomach isn't letting it - I get an urge to eat a brownie/biscuit/whatever but when I actually imagine myself doing it, it just doesn't appeal as I am full/not craving it. I guess it's the difference between psychological reasons for overeating like boredom/emotions (which clearly haven't gone away) and physical ones like blood sugar/hunger signals which have been resolved. It makes me realise how much I need the MJ to stay on track - without it I would find it so much harder to control those urges and would probably be eating everything in sight like normal.

Thank you, they said it approved so fingers crossed it's still a luxury but better than mj prices

Amazing 😍 bet you feel a million dollars

I remember my grandma in the70stelling me when she married my grandad could join his hands up round her waist. Anything over a size 10 was plus sized in her mind. I was never as small as her but she was probably a 0 or 2 in today's world.
