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

[notcomfortable]

New thread 😀 in the nick of time

@8booksthat may be the way forward. I was worried about stretching a pen past 30 days but it seems a lot of people do it.
I’m currently on 5mg but need to move up to 7.5mg really but can’t really justify £274 a month for it 😳
@notcomfortablethat’s interesting. Although I don’t feel MJ has been hugely impactful for me so far anyway at a total of 1st lost in 12 weeks 😕

@InstantRegret this is what I just paid for 7.5mg from Cloud. Still the old style pen with the golden dose.

They're actually one of the more expensive pharmacies, but easy to use and I’ve been too lazy to switch.

Thanks @8books that’s definitely cheaper than Voy!

I got the 1 mg WG ready to go this Thursday (5mg MJ to 1mg WG).

I decided to swap as 5 mg MJ was not doing anything for me anymore and felt I was wasting e330 a month. 7.5mg is around e400 and just too expensive.

Will keep account as I go.

Well after another weekend away involving some drinking, heavy carbs (I was in Italy so lots of bread and pasta) and a whole lot of socialising I have maintained this week.

Probably could have been better with food choices but when you're in a large group and everyone else wants pizza and prosecco it's kind of hard to be "that" person who orders salad and water!

0.5 kg loss for me this week.

SW: 135 kg
CW: 112.4 kg
Total loss: 22.6 kg

Hello all, hope you’re all doing ok. I’ve had a very busy month since I got back from my holiday!

I was on 5mg but a few weeks back decided to do lower doses from the pen, as I couldn’t tell any difference between 2.5 and 5, and in fact my weight loss slowed down on 5. I ordered what I think will be my final pen too so I have around 10 weeks left.

I’ve now lost 3 stone 1lb!

SW: 14 st 5 lbs
CW: 11 st 4 lbs
GW: around 10 stone
(height 5’6”)

I’m wearing clothes that I never thought I’d fit into again - I feel great!

I’ve also hit the three stone mark this week! Amazing. I’m down to 13st 9lbs and almost half way to my goal weight.

Hit the 2 stone mark today! I think. I’m on crutches after my op, so weighed myself standing on one leg like a flamingo 🦩😂

SW 81kg (12st 11lbs)
CW 68.5kg (10st 11lbs) BMI 23.7 🎉
GW 60kg (9st 7lbs)
5’7”

I also hit the 2st mark this week 🥳

There seem to be quite a few of us at or near the 2st mark. Interesting how the weight comes off steadily for some or in odd chunks (!!) like for me… but we end up getting to the same place in the end. I took my second 7.5mg yesterday. Weight is stalled again at the new lower weight, but my clothes seem to be getting looser day by day. All very weird! I guess I should just accept it and stop over analysing it! Still so glad I decided to do this though. Yesterday I wore some jeans I haven’t worn in so long, and felt really good all day.

I am also down just over two stone. Stalling for the past week, which is frustrating given my efforts, but the next drop will be 3-4lb in one go. It's just how it goes for me every time.

5ft2

I’ve lost just over a stone and a half, so lagging far behind some of you. I was away at the weekend, didn’t eat much, but drank lots, so wasn’t expecting good things, although I seem to have maintained. Bought some smaller jeans before I went, and I was feeling great. Then I came home and saw myself on the doorbell cam. Feeling disappointed, fat, and with much further to go than I’d hoped. I’m hoping it’s tiredness and peri menopausal hormones talking and positivity returns soon. 🤬

I dont work in stones, but just checked and im down 2.3 stones (14.9kg).
Feeling great for it too

Unloved photos and videos are cruel. Don't let them get you down, you're doing great

Only half a pound off for me this week, I’ve made the decision to move up to 7.5. 37 pounds in total and am now fitting into size 14 clothes so not unhappy with that. I just want to lost a bit faster plus food noise is coming back so definitely time to move up. It’s not helping that I’m on crutches at the moment and will be for a while longer.

I’ve had that in the past. Don’t forget it’s a marathon, not a sprint and also we’re our own worst critics!! If you’re clean (good hygiene I mean) and wearing a smile, most people wouldn’t even think about how your body looks. Keep going 👏

Hooray for all of us!! The weather is getting nicer and I know summer will be so much more enjoyable for this group this year. I always got to May time and thought “shit, another summer where I’m hiding and hating how I look”. Not this time, it will be a challenge to keep me clothed at all times. Making breakfast in a bikini is in my future 🤣🤣

NSV just tried on a new sweatshirt I bought from New Look. It’s a size small and it’s a little baggier than I want, so I’ve ordered an extra small. Annoyingly I lose the discount I got on the first one but I might keep the tag on when I wear it and have it hanging out the back 😂

Bombs away on the Wegovy 1 mg.

It has been about 3 weeks since my last dose of 5 mg, MJ.

I have not been able to weigh myself but 3 weeks ago was 13 stone 4.

Lets see...the high 12s for June would be a goal.

Last weekend I had a break away and ate out every night, so was dreading the scales today.
But still lost 1lb! I think the long walks were the saviour

SW 13st
CW 10st 10lb
GW 10st

I haven't been this weight in 12 years, just seeing 10 on the scales is such a lift. Sticking with 2.5mg until it stops

Still plodding on here
Currently working 6 days a week so not active on here very much
My weight loss has stalled again, it was to be expected when I'm near my goal but its just a bit disheartening
I'm definitely not going above 7.5
And hope I have made enough habits stick that when I come off, it will see me through because there is no way I can afford to stay on it for life

1lb off for me today meaning I've officially hit 3 stones. I haven't set my goal weight yet but I'm thinking another 2 / 2 and half stones and I'll be happy. I'm still taking 3.75mg of a 5mg pen each week and am fighting the urge to move to the full dose, though it does seem like my weight loss is slowing even though I'm having decent suppression.

Small wins. New bra day. Down from a 38J to a 36H.

Winning! 👙

Ha! I’m jealous! I’ve gone from a 38J to 36J but not quite fitting into the 36HH cups just yet. Hopefully that will happen in the next few weeks! 🎉 I’d love to be a G so I can just walk into a regular shop and buy a bra like normal people. 😂
