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

[notcomfortable]

New thread 😀 in the nick of time

@HollywoodTease
Mine are still like swollen melons! 😩😂
I have bought loads of bras but I only like Bravissimo. Sadly they never have a decent sale but I have picked up a few on Vinted.
My dream is also to walk into a regular shop and buy a G cup bra knowing that it will fit. I did buy some H cup ones from Primark but the support was non existent, I may as well have not bothered wearing a bra.

After my 6-week plateau throughout June and into July, I’m now losing weight quickly all of a sudden which I don’t understand, as nothing changed my side!!

Not really ready to be done with my MJ journey. This is where I’ve gone wrong in the past!! Hit my goal and then lost structure.

Is anyone in maintenance already? I’m thinking I’ll stay on 7.5mg till end September and then start working down the doses. I’ve got a new 10mg pen in the fridge and I’ve just ordered another 10mg pen. That gets me through to New Year.

What’s the longest you’ve kept a pen going? I’m not worried about going over the 30 days, as it’s in the fridge and I’m using sterile wipes and syringes for the micro dosing.

Sorry for the early morning stream of consciousness 😂 Only DH knows I’m on MJ, so mumsnet is the only place I can waffle about this.

I’m jealous of your melons!! I’d love big boobs at least for a week. I’ll swap my gala apples 😂

Gala apples 😂😂

Another 3 pounds off for me this week, 63.5 in total. I think I’ll stay on 7.5 for a while longer.

I’ve been away this week and really let things slide. Still getting plenty of steps in, but there has been alcohol and icecream and chips and all kinds of other crap. I feel a little shocked how easy that was to slip into to be honest and I am dreading climbing on the scale again on Monday.

@Perianth perhaps wait a few days when you’re back before weighing. There will be water weight. Also, I was massively in need of a normal toilet routine again (constipated after eating a lot of US UPFs). Hope you had a lovely time 😊

Must have been my outfit but several people I saw this morning remarked on my weight loss. One friend asked me “was it intentional.” She knows I have been going through a difficult time personally this year so I reckon that’s a fair question. Once i reassured her it was deliberate she was happy for me. And thankfully no one asked me about “the jabs” or anything.

it feels good to be comfortable in my body. Although I haven’t weighed for a week or two as I thought I might be plateau-ing again, just above the “normal” weight band, and didn’t want to get discouraged.

Need to order my next pen and I think it will be a 5mg to see how I get on with less suppression now that I don’t have much to lose… I don’t want to lose significantly more even if I stay technically a smidge “overweight”, or all my lovely new clothes won’t fit anymore! 😂

It's been great reading everyone's updates. I took a step back from here recently because I was increasingly frustrated that I was stuck in the low 12s for what seemed like forever. Moving into the 11s is a bit of a psychological one for me as I haven't seen that figure on the scales in about 16 years. But, I weighed this morning and have finally done it - 11 stone 13!! To say I'm happy is an understatement.

63lbs / 4 and a half stones off in total. Bra size has gone from a 42E to a 36D but they're starting to gape again so I probably need to remeasure.

SW: 16.6
CW: 11.13
GW: 10.7

Well done , glad the scales made your day .

Slow week for me again following another hectic festival weekend (just 2 more to go and I'm done for the summer) so just half a lb off. But it does mean I've hit a 4 stone loss now, so not complaining!

I was hungry a couple of times over the weekend but I think it's because when I'm eating on the go (and drinking!) I tend to have more carbs and/or empty calories. Will see how I go on over the next couple of weeks, it may be time to go up to 10. I did 16 weeks on 5 and I'm now on week 14 on 7.5 so it would kind of fit that it might be time to increase again. 🤔

The scale also had me doing a happy dance this morning. Only a 0.8lb gain after my week away.

I’ve finally committed to 7.5 and am feeling positive.

Well done everyone on the amazing losses!! 4/4.5 stone is incredible. I’m at 44lbs off and quite close to goal now. I can’t believe how quickly 8 months flew by!!

Happy with this morning’s weigh in. The loss has been quicker than expected recently (I still don’t understand that 6-week plateau in early summer).

Should admit I haven’t done any exercise for 2.5 weeks, so that needs to change in the next few days. Sure I’m losing more muscle than I should.

9st 8lbs (61kg)!! Bonkers to me. I never thought I’d see that number again.

Feeling happy 🥰 9 months ago I was attending a Xmas party in the same place as tonight’s (late summer) party and I feel so much better in myself.

Well done , and enjoy your summer party .

I'm still plodding along at 3.75mg. weight loss has definitely slowed down. I'm losing 0.5 to 1 pound a week now.

SW: 17 st 10 lbs
CW: 12 st 3 lbs
GW: 11 stone
Total loss: 5 stone 7 lbs (77 lbs or 35 KG)

Although the scale isn't moving definitely seeing results in the mirror. I realised that I can feel and see my hip bones this week. I've not seen them for over 15 years.

Great hearing everyone's updates.

1.5lb lost this week which is the most in a while, goal is within touching distance!

Another 2 pounds off for me this week, 65.5 in total. I met up with a friend at the weekend who is the same height as me. She has got down to 10 stone and looks amazing. This is a few pounds above the supposed healthy BMI for my height but I reckon that would be more sustainable for me. So I now have a goal! 22 pounds to go and hoping to be there by Christmas. 🤞
In other news, I am slightly annoyed that there wasn’t quite enough in my pen to administer my final dose. I’m on 7.5 and it was a few clicks off 1. I thought there was supposed to be slightly more than the 4 doses. 🤔 Has anyone else had this issue?

I think if you prime the pen each time, there’s a risk there’s barely enough for the final dose.

I’m glad I’m close to the end, because they pissed me off removing the golden dose. Seems so mean!! I’ve got 2 pens in the fridge that should last me through to new year.

@8books Yeah I think this is the issue! Med Express have refunded the dose and hopefully it won’t have an impact on suppression and weight loss over the next week. 🤞

Just checking in. Well done on all the losses!

I’ve only had around 1.25 MJ for the past month or so, only having it every couple of weeks too to gradually finish off my last pen. I’ve been maintaining but today randomly dropped another couple of lbs to 10 st 1. So close to the 9s! Although I’m very happy where I am, so I’m just wanting to maintain now really.

I haven’t felt any hungrier on such a low dose. I’m used to eating in a fairly structured way though, rather than because I’m hungry, which I think helps. And I’m still exercising.

NSV. Away for the weekend with DH. Nipped into Primark and on a whim bought size 12 jeans. Now sat in the pub wearing them! 😮 Comfortably! Bloody hell.....

@thefluffycat you’re so close to the 9s!! Exciting 🤩

Congrats @HollywoodTease on the size 12 jeans. Love a comfy pair of jeans.

Best thing about MJ results is wearing stuff and not instantly thinking “Christ that’s awful” about the fit!! I’ve got a Zara dress that now fits beautifully. I bought it when I was bigger and thought they’d made a mistake with the cut as it didn’t sit right. Just my butt in the way before 😂 🤦🏼‍♀️

NSV!

I dropped my phone whilst sat down on the edge of a chair today and snapped my legs together to catch it in my lap and….it fell through my thigh gap. WTF?! I have a thigh gap, people!

The phone survived with only a minor injury.

Stall for me this week, I've lost 0.05kg FFS!

I know why, it's when I'm not at home for the weekend so I'm social drinking and eating what's available (pub grub mostly) rather than cooking myself. I also haven't "been" for 3 days which may not be helping.

2 more weekends away to go, and also 2 more shots in my current pen. 🤔

Need to decide if I order another 7.5 and see if I improve once my summer travel plans are complete, or go up to 10. Decisions decisions!

Suppression is still ok on 7.5 though, and I'm kind of heartened that despite a very busy social period where my alcohol consumption has crept up a fair bit I'm not regaining. In fact looking at the positives I'm still losing (albeit very very slowly) and my body is obviously still changing as I'm in size 12 jeans.

This coming weekend we're away in the motorhome again so at least I can prep my own food, that should help.

Just thinking out loud really. Happy to accept comments/advice to add to the decision-making process though!
