well this weight loss malarky is full of surprises. after losses of 200gms and 300 gms for the previous two weigh ins, and a week where although Id been moving about more I had eaten and not really tracked, plus snacked at a private view of our art exhibition, I have weighed in today with a 1.2kg loss.

so thats 2 1/2 stone gone now after 17 weeks on 2.5mg.

My new 7.5mg pen is arriving on thursday and so, if I stay on the 2.5 its looking like I have plenty in stock, as Im about half way through a 5 mg pen, and still have an untouched 7.5mg.

I will suspend the payments after this one for a while and then look for some cheaper options once I start moving forward. I am looking to keep microdosing once Im at my target weight because of the anti inflammatory action and it holding my lymphodema at bay - the turnaround of the tissue changes in the skin in my legs and toes is incredible - I will see my lymph massage specialist in two weeks and she has some helpful techniques which should break down and allow the last bits of more solid lymph to move and hopefully be cleared, and I have an appointment in October with my clinic, so will be measured, and that will be the real proof of the pudding.

It may have cost alot but Im so pleased that I made the decision to do this - I was at the point where I needed to decide whether to simply surrender to the pain and mobility restrictions, or fight back. And I made the right decision. I feel better than I have in years, and thats even despite the recent falls/injuries.

Great job. What’s your goal loss?

I’d like to lose another stone and stick at that weight, so that feels achievable :)

I’m really happy for you guys who are so close to goal weight, you’ve done a great job already, and even though I’m very jealous it is all in good spirit.

Good work guys 💐

Well we can do it together. I still have 57lb to go to my early goal, but my main/stretch goal is 85-90lb. What about you?
