Oh no, I wish you a speedy recovery! Oh don’t be worrying about that just now. Can always resume as normal once you’re feeling better🩷xx

I am less than 4kg to goal and had my 6 months check up with the private Bupa GP.

They are happy for me to stay on 5mg until I hit the 60kg and then move to maintenance at 2.5mg. Goal is for Christmas as I have a short holiday and a two week work trip coming up plus December and all the mince pies. So I give myself 1lb per week.

It starts to get quite scary, nearly there and then the battle to maintain. But I really revamped my life, diet and outlook to stress which is my biggest food trigger.

Im back home now feeling much better. Decided to jab today.
Sw 18st 8lb
CW 11st 6lb
7.5mg
Loss of 4lb since I last weighed. Ive been thinking about a goal weight and think that im aiming for 10st 6lb so a stone to go. This will put me into healthy bmi but at the higher end which i will be happy with. Any more might make me look ill. Will review it when I get there though.

Hi,
it went okay, I got another 5mg pen and weighed in at 8st7lbs on their scale, but was 8st3lb on my own scale. But I did have breakfast and was wearing a big jumper and jeans lol. I gained 1lb this week but I’m not surprised, we’ve spent the weekend out with the kiddies doing pumpkin picking and other fun activities, so have been eating out and not counting calories.
I did explain to her that I’d like to fluctuate between 8st-8st7lb which is a great weight for my small height.
i said to her though, my next pen id like to come down to 2.5mg as I do want to come down and eventually off and learn to do it on my own🙈xx

Well 3lb loss for me this week. Been back to hospital to see consultant and all was well thankfully.

SW 18st 8lb
CW 11st 3lb
5mg

Have done first jab at 5mg from coming down from 7.5mg so will be interesting to see if the hunger comes back.
