Mounjaro -10 stone or more to lose - Thread 12

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Thread 12!

Thanks for the new thread!

God guys, I went into Asda earlier and just out of interest tried on a size 16-18 jacket, and it fit! Tried on a few different ones and a couple of fleeces and they all fit even with a baggy jumper underneath. I'm sure it's just a case of Asda being generous with their sizes (I have plenty of sz 18 and 20 items at home that are too tight, and a lot of really old 16 and 18 items that are waaay smaller) but I've not fit into anything below a 20 for over a decade. Can't quite believe it and daren't buy anything new just yet.

Phew found you! Place marking, hope we’re all having a good week

Pancake day today! Not sure how to manage it - I'd quite happily have one pancake within my calories today and without going off the rails (thanks to MJ!) but not sure I can 😥. I'm going away for a few days, flight is early afternoon and I need to be hungry enough to eat at the airport before we go. If I have a pancake for breakfast it will probably fill me up too much to be able to eat agin, but then I'll get hungry on the plane, with less access to healthy choices! I guess thoughts like this are what my food noise has been replaced with 🙈

I've also struggled with what to give up for Lent - no point it being anything food related as there is nothing that would feel like a sacrifice. I've therefore gone with doom scrolling on Facebook and I can already see it's going to be hard - in preparation I have moved the app off the main screen if my phone (can't delete it entirely as it is needed for comms from my daughters' activity) and I'm shocked at how many times a day I go to open it! I wonder how long until someone invents a jab to treat social media addiction!

Thank you @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne !

@eibbed999 so sorry you’re having a hard time at the moment, I detest that feeling, there’s no let up. I’d definitely try what you’re suggesting first to help even things out. It’s fighting an addiction.

@pearlteapot have you tried overnight oats for breakfast? I chop up a couple of dried apricots, frozen blueberries and seeds into it and it’s really filling. If I have 40g cereal I’m starving a few hours later. Full fat Greek yogurt with seeds honey and fruit is another that keeps me full.

glad you’re getting sorted @OvertiredandConfused

So glad you mentioned me - the old thread wasn't taking comments and I couldn't find this one...was starting to actually panic at the thought of losing you all! Thanks @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne

Weigh day for me today and bloody hell I’m in the 9s!!! 1lb off this week, my new goal is 9 stone 10lbs then I’m going to try and maintain that weight and see what happens. I’m still size 12/14 though!

Thank you!!!

Thank you for the tag, glad to have found you all again!

Amazing! Such a great achievement!

Wow @Iwouldratherbesinging well done, that’s amazing! I bet you could never have imagined being under 10 stone at the start of your journey.

I am in maintenance but have decided to lower my target. Original target was 11 stone 10 which put my BMI at 24 (I’m 5’ 9”). I achieved that just before Christmas and lowered my dose to 7.5mg as I began trying to maintain, but have since lost another 9lbs. So now I’ve decided it would be quite nice to get down into the 10s so new target is 10 stone 12, that way I have some leeway, and won’t need to panic if I have a gain while trying to maintain. I have one dose left of 7.5 which I will take at the weekend and then I’m moving down to 5mg and will see how I get on with that.

Amazing, single digits essentially when you’re sub 10 stone. Reminds me of the kids getting older, ie I’m double digits now, but in reverse 😂 This was my feeling when I wasn’t a teen anymore a couple of weeks ago.

Can I ask your height? I’m aiming for 9 st now at 5’3”

@RenegadeKeeblerElf I made a New Year’s resolution to spend less time in the evenings on my phone / iPad either playing games or mindlessly doom scrolling. So I took up jigsaw puzzles again. I even treated myself to a proper table. I can’t tell you the difference it has made. My Screen Time is down massively and I’m even sleeping better

I’m 5ft 3.5 (that half is important!) haha! I hadn’t thought of that analogy, brilliant.

and yes @MummyInTheNecropolis I never ever thought I would get here, it’s an amazing feeling but I’m still waiting for my brain to catch up…

I had my hair cut into a shoulder length bob at the weekend, I was sat in front of a full length mirror (I’d have avoided this by any means before) and I kept staring at myself trying to acknowledge that it was me.

I lost you all. But found you this morning, thanks for the new thread

I know exactly what you mean, I started going to a new fitness studio a few weeks ago, I do various different classes there and the whole wall is one big mirror which would have been my worst nightmare before, but I actually quite like it now! I just look at it and think who is that thin person moving so effortlessly in front of me? Can’t quite believe it’s me! 😄

I know. It's my fault. I forgot to put a link on the last thread.

Well done @Iwouldratherbesinging, what an amazing achievement! Your tenacity is so inspiring x

Good shout on replacing it with something else. I have loads of Lego flowers kits that I got for birthday/Christmas that I can make a start on.

@FattyBumBumNoMore
I'm the same height as you and I'm now 10st 9lb.

My clothes are size 8 - 10 on the top and size 10 on the bottom. I'm aiming for 9st 12lb because I'd like to see the scales start with a 9. Also because the BMI scale still thinks I'm overweight (!)
I'd still like my legs to be thinner, too.

It's odd how weight is distributed differently in various people.

@Iwouldratherbesinging wow single digits, what an absolute dream! Well done 😁👏

It’s fighting an addiction

Yes, isn't it just.

I doubt if thin people understand this. You know, the ones who never seem to feel hunger and who adjure us all just to eat less.

Like it is so easy.

Yes, I'd like to stop doomscrolling.

In my case, it's doomscrolling on here, not on FB.

It was my stupid ex-husband who spent his life doomscrolling on FB (looking at half-naked young women, I think.)

@MrTiddlesTheCat
We didn't finish discussing your hunger when the last thread ended.

Also your need to increase your dose.

I was wondering if you could inject 3.75mg from the the of your current pen, as it does still contain the bonus dose.

I bet Eli-Lilly are kicking themselves, producing literally millions of pens which contain the extra.

And your cat looks like one of my cats!
