I thought i'd make a little post to see who else is also enjoying the warm weather :)

In previous years, I'd be hiding away indoors, hating the sweatiness that came with being bigger.

This year, i'm 4 stone 2 lbs down and loving every moment of the warm weather. Feel so proud of myself :) i'm also feeling so comfortable wearing summer clothes. I've got a holiday booked in the summer and i'm not scared to wear a bikini 🙌

Anyway, just a little happy post. Starting mounjaro in Sept 25 was the BEST decision i've ever made.

Enjoy the sun 🌞

Well done on your weight loss and I'm glad you are making the most of the wonderful weather.

After a very grey, wet and miserable January and February, I too am loving this weather.

Wearing shorts today and feeling great about it!
ive packed mu suitcase for a 4 day trips somewhere sunny tomorrow and i have 2 cute pairs of shorts, a knee lenght dress and a maxi dress. I can wear nice tops without worrying about a spare tyre and… and… i packed two new swimsuits! No chub-rub shorts for me this year!! It was also the best decision for me! (3.5 st down in a year)

I hear you sisters! This lovely weather has been a long time coming and I couldn’t wait to wear all the lovely summer clothes in my new small size and no longer feel self conscious about all my flab being on show. ☀️🌞🕶️

Couldn't agree more. I've lost about the same and I'm enjoying thinner non rubbing thighs and the confidence to wear shorts and vests.

This is my fourth summer being able to wear size 8 white jeans and a size xs skinny t-shirt after years wearing size 18-20 baggy trousers and tops. It’s brilliant, isn’t it?

therockingbird · 27/05/2026 16:19

I hear ya! This is year two for me almost 4 stone lighter. It’s amazing isn’t it 🤣 I hid away when I was much bigger - mortified at my wobbly body. Now I’m out in my size 8 shorts having the best time. ExH is livid I’m feeling so bloody confident which makes it even better!! Enjoy it girls x

I have to wear black trousers boots and t shirt to work. And im not dieing and a sweaty mess.. its great!

Youthinkyourefunny · 27/05/2026 16:41

This is my second summer as a size 8 after 15 summers as a giant blob of sweaty self loathing. Started the miracle that is MJ in April 24 at 18st now 9st 2. and have replaced my food addiction with a Vinted habit and have a huge amount of tiny summer clothes to choose from as opposed to searching out the loosest ‘tent’ to hide in. . Best decision ever. Enjoy every one ..

Yes. I am just over 2st down since the start of the year. I got fed up and bored of my diet and stuck with it and summer feels like such a reward for my hard work. I move about easier, I am not a sweaty mess and I am not as achy as I used to be. It's the first time I am not dreading summer because this time next month I will again have lost a few lb!

SilenceInside · 27/05/2026 17:05

it’s very hard to describe the delight at no longer being 22st, and instead being 10st 12lbs ish and not feeling the heat at all this year. I just don’t get hot at all, even in the 30 degree plus temps. It’s a bit weird after decades of utterly dreading summers.

All of these comments have put a big smile on my face 😁 it's so nice to read how much of a life changer its been for everyone!

I've gone from 20st 2lbs to 10st 7lbs, this is my second "slim girl summer" as a size 8/10 and after a further year of weight training and pilates, I'm in the best shape of my life at 58. I'm wearing shorts and a sleeveless top today.

I'm usually freezing these days so it's nice to be warm and have a wardrobe full of gorgeous summer clothes.

I lost most of my weight on Wegovy and switched to MJ for the last bit and maintenance. It's a miracle and I am absolutely loving life.
