January 2026 starters. Thread 3, the one with us wearing our summer clothes

[notcomfortable]

New thread 😀 in the nick of time

I've really lost interest in alcohol - another lovely side effect!

I weighed on Saturday and had maintained, but upped my water intake from then and this morning was 3lb lighter. I definitely wasn't drinking enough so am making a real effort now. As of today I've lost 2.5 stone which I can hardly believe. And for the first time since school I bought size 10 jeans

SW 13st
CW 10st 7lb
GW 10st

7lb to go - Lucky you ! Well done .

Love reading everyone’s updates!

Thought I’d plateaued after weighing in yesterday, but actually I’d dropped 0.4kg when I weighed this morning 👏

SW 81kg (12st 11lbs) BMI 28
CW 66.9kg (10st 7lbs) BMI 23.1
GW 60kg (9st 6lbs) BMI 20.8
5’7”

Feels so strange to be one stone from goal!

I did exactly this and used my 5mg pen to do 7.5mg when I wanted to move up between orders!!

Still on 2.5 here and somehow had a massive 3.5lb loss this week… this ALWAYS happens just before I set my mind on moving to 5mg, still considering moving up.

SW - 91.5kg
CW - 73kg
GW - was 70kg but looking like I’ll rethink that

Jab day, and I have put in half a lb. I keep talking about moving up to 6.25mg seeing as I have an extra pen and now I am really going to do it.
But there’s a part of me that’s trying to justify why I put on. Hubby’s back in hospital, so I went 48hrs without sleep and then drowned myself in wine and haribo! But realistically, that wouldn’t have happened before so suppression and food noise have definitely lessened. I need to bite the bullet and do it!!

I’m still struggling and I’ve just started my second 7.5mg pen. I had a chat with ChatGPT who “said” that 7.5 could still be considered a starter dose, so moving up isn’t nearly as terrible as it seems. I feel like I’m failing because so many people are still having good suppression on 2.5 or 5. But ultimately, this what it is. I obviously need more help 😬🙄

The end goal is to have lost weight and feel healthier and happier in ourselves .
We are all individuals , all on your own journeys and as the saying goes , comparison is the thief of joy .
It doesn't do to compare ourselves to others , what works for one might not work for you .
You are doing something for you . Everyone one of us are , support and advice on here is invaluable , but we are still doing it individually so don't compare yourself to others .

This chart makes me very happy! I was at the Chelsea Flower show yesterday in a pretty dress (which someone came up to compliment me on 🙂) and felt wonderfully normal. I also went to a lovely dress shop to get a dress for Ascot and it was wonderful to have choices and to be happy trying on things and then showing the assistants for their opinions.

Well I’m 17 weeks into my journey and lost 63 pounds now

it has saved my life

it has changed my life

still more work to do

Jab/weigh day for me, I lost a pound this week. 40 in total. It has been pretty slow the last few weeks and food noise is returning so I have moved up to 6.25 today. Hopefully not too many side effects.🤞

Have lost 2lb this week after a bit of a plateau so that what a pleasant surprise. I’ve got a big weekend visiting my daughter with my sister. I’ll be getting my steps in on the way to the many cafes and bars she’s taking us too.

I’m going to relax and enjoy it and I have some lovely new clothes to wear which are NOT jeggings and baggy jumpers.

Have a great bank holiday weekend, January 26 losers.

Ah, nice to have a BH in the UK. Ireland is next Monday 😎😁.

Had 3rd jab on WG 1 mg last night. All fine so far.

I weighed myself this morning and am now in the 12s.....

12 stone and 13 pounds...

That means in the time I've been on WG (this is the 3rd week), I've lost about 5lbs...

I was on MJ for 4.5 months and lost about 7 lbs.

I don't want to jinx myself, and I am near target weight of 12 stone, but seems WG was right way to go.

I have a little nausea, but find if I drink water/eat little and often, that helps alot.

Mad how WG seemingly suits me better than MJ...

@bookwormcrazy sorry to hear your husband is back is hospital. Don’t beat yourself up about any food you have. It’s such a comfort blanket.

@Octagoneaway I’m on 7.5mg. I wouldn’t be worried about a move to 10mg (it’s still well below the 15mg max). I know a few friends had their most success at that level.

P.s. how wonderful that it’s sunny and I’m no longer fat!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
