Mounjaro - 10 Stone or more to lose - Thread 14

[TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne]

Wow. Thirteen threads behind us and many friendships forged.........

We've even been turned into a Group Thread.

All are very welcome.

Bloody hell @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne. Really hope that you are being looked after now x

Good grief @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne that is bad. You read about cases and sometimes wonder if the victims are deliberately targeted because they wont report.

Well they picked the wrong one in you!

Weigh in and jab day

SW 140kg BMI 54.7
CW 90.2kg BMI 35.2
GW 63kg BMI 24.6

14 stone 2lbs in old money. Hopefully my weight is on its way down again after the blip of the holiday.

Pearl have you tried these? Kenco is 81 cals and Costa (my fave) is 53 cals. They are both very yummy, but the Costa is my absolute fave, top notch

Also, if anyone needs an ice lolly fix, these are lovely, and only 53 cals each

I have the Fruit Pastilles lollies. Ice cream upsets my gallbladder anyway, but these lollies are much more refreshing than ice cream and really low calories.

I am just eating a chocolate mousse for lunch, muller My Protein Mouse. It is 200g and huge, and has 20g of protein and is only 168 calories. Currently 5 for £5 at Tesco

Hi everyone, just popping in to say hello and see how you’re all getting on. So much to catch up on!

@PearlsTeapot so pleased to hear you’re home, and love the photo, you’re looking fabulous.

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne I am so shocked and sad to hear what you’ve been going through. You poor thing, I’m so sorry. Sending you lots of love, be kind to yourself.

Far too many scale and non scale victories to mention but I’m so pleased for you all, you’re all bloody amazing!

I’m still trying to get back to target, only a few pounds to go now, and the MJ reset still seems to be working well for me - I’m still on 2.5 and still going strong. Thank you @eibbed999 for inspiring me to try it!

@Billybingbong I love those Kenco sachets, I have one every morning. I tried the Aldi own brand ones but they were not as good. I’ve never had the Costa ones though but will def be giving them a try now! Thanks for the recommendation.

thanks @Billybingbong I will try them and report back! They'll also save me a fortune, my drink is £5.85 at Starbucks which is shocking.

Can’t be arsed to cook. Can’t decide what to eat. Urgh.

I just want lollies. And cold beer.

Champagne has fewer calories ... And often contains fresh strawberries if you do it right!

Hah! I like your thinking!

Gammon and pineapple for us tonight! With tater tots (eating out the freezer) and peas.

Caved and had another Starbucks today. They give me joy! I love coffee sooooo much. BUT I am going to buy the ones recommended above. I have loads of lovely coffee cups to use too including the bear one that went viral a while back.

Thanks for the tip, I've just done my Tesco shop and got the last mousse off the shelf. They must be popular!

So I did a thing today, I bought a wetsuit. Way back when I started this journey 15 months ago, I wrote myself a wish list of all the things I've always wanted to do, but didn't have the courage because of my weight. Right at the top of the list was sea swimming. So in my new era of trying new things, I've bought a wetsuit and talked my friend into joining me for my first dip tomorrow. I am so excited, I live next to a beautiful beach, and have never gone in deeper than my ankles since I was a kid. Wish me luck, if you hear the coastguard helicopter fly over, it will just be me stuck on a rock somewhere in the north sea 🤣

I make my own iced coffee at home, using a sweetener in the coffee or a sugar free syrup, then it’s just milk over ice and chuck the coffee shot over the top.

Oh, experiment with cold brew coffee, it’s perfect for iced drinks.

Get some coffee beans, grind them fairly roughly. Not chunky but not fine.

1 part coffee to 4 parts cold water. Put both in a jug, stick it in the fridge for 12 hours. Strain into another container. use in your preferred iced coffee drinks. Or an Espresso Martini.

You can heat also it in the microwave.

It’s extraordinary! It’s not bitter and it’s full of flavour. I was deeply sceptical but it really works!

Last night I survived my first meal out with a set menu. It was booked in ages ago and so I changed my choices to go a bit healthier. On the night there was a mix up and although the restaurant confirmed the change, they ended up bringing me my old meal as well as the correct one! And this wasn't just for one, it was all 3 courses (it was a big group and a lot going on at the time so I don't blame the staff). Old me would've polished off one full meal and at least part of the other. OK, maybe all. Last night I had 1/4 of my starter (hummous and flatbread) ate most of my main (chicken skewer with rice) and then most of my dessert (ice cream and bakklava) I know I shouldn't have eaten as much as I did and felt too full after but my brain was just saying "it is really nice, don't stop" Ifeel I made far better choices than I would have done normally so I am taking away that as a positive and hopefully next time it will be better.

I also weighed in this morning. Even though I have been "good" all week, I felt in my head that last night had ruined it all. I need to try to get out of that mindset but that will likely take time. But I lost just under 8lb. That brings my WL to 1 stone 5 in 2 weeks. I am pretty pleased with that.. Again, I know it won't carry on like this, but it is nice to have that initial loss as that really motivates me.

@BritbirdUK congratulations on the losses, and for navigating a tricky meal out. One meal definitely won't ruin a week as the scales have shown today.

Slightly annoyingly I am celebrating 1 year on MJ with a little gain, but it's not surprising for a few reasons - hot weather, out of routine, not exercising etc. It's at this point in a 'diet' I would normally lose motivation and start gaining again, but I think the MJ will stop that happening this time. Apart from anything else I can't stand the thought of wasting all the money I have spent so far!

CW 87.2kg, 52.5kg lost in 52 weeks

Week 69 and 35 degree heat. I'm pleased with 2lb off again this week.

In reaching distance to being under 35 BMI and a lovely round 40% of me gone.

Hope anyone else living in this awful heat currently is doing ok, I couldn't be more over this weather if I tried.

It’s lovely weather here in Scotland. Around 20-25 which is nice and not too hot. Feel sorry for the southerners though!

@RenegadeKeeblerElf congrats on 1 year! I feel like I’m wasting money at the moment, need to give myself a little shake and get back on it. I can eat so much, I miss the early days of suppression.

NSV: went to Wembley to see My Chemical Romance (waves to fellow elder emos) last night and not only did I wear my size medium MCR shirt I also coped with a) the heat and b) the fold-down seats (I’m too old for the moshpit) which I don’t think I’d have been able to do eleven stone heavier. There were people of all shapes and sizes there of course, I’m only talking about my own comfort levels. I had a great time.

I don’t want to eat at all in this heat but I am forcing myself, mostly cold protein of some sort and fruit or salad vegetables.

Lost 1.5lb this week which I’m very happy with.
