@HowlingGale
8lbs is great!
Don't be disappointed.
Even though I've done well in my first week I'm so bloody fat that is not noticeable!
Dreaming of a lovely new wardrobe of clothes I like and some confidence in myself. Sounds like you're the same.
Had my hair cut yesterday, and a little smattering of botox too, to spur me forwards. (Not in the UK) Ordering some olaflex for my hair today.
I feel indulgent but I have to do this, I have to.

@Howlinggale I'm exactly the same as you. In three weeks I've lost 8 lbs and for the weight to go down i have to eat barely anything 😐 I'm going up to 1.2 Although I dont feel hungry, I'm not eating loads and it still isn't falling off and I walk for 40 mins most days etc

Just back from my 4-week Lloyds checkup. I've lost 10kg which is a lot more than I thought!!

@andadietcoke wowwwww you must be thrilled, well done!!

Really happy but can't work out how my scales can be so different to theirs. I did get a new set after a week or so but still...

@andadietcoke
Well done!

andadietcoke fantastic result! 10kg in 4 weeks is amazing! That's over a stone and a half in old money!

shutterteal I'm the same, so huge that I think I need to lose at least a stone before it becomes noticeable to others, though my clothes are feeling a bit looser. And I think being nice to ourselves is only a good thing - if it makes you feel better about yourself that can only be a positive. Personally I cannot wait to get to the hairdressers, but have an appointment for April when they reopen here. Haven't had it cut since last August

@HowlingGale the first thing I did when I got in the car was google 'kg to stones conversion'
Pharmacist didn't bat an eyelid. She's not really a people person. Back on 16 April for my next check.

Wow well done @andadietcoke and @shutterteal

Weigh in this morning. 3.2lb off this week so 48.4lbs in total

That's brilliant @notapizzaeater - so good to see you're still getting decent losses.

Some amazing losses, congrats! I’m doing much better on 1.2, haven’t weighed myself yet but my appetite is minimal today.

I went onto 1.2 on Thursday and today have felt quite nauseous and had to run to the loo a couple of times so hopefully something is finally working. I am 4lb down but this was in the first three days so hoping to see some lbs disappearing soon

@notapizzaeater That's fantastic! @Chrissols I'm sorry you're not feeling good. Hopefully it'll all be worth it.

How's everyone doing today? I'm feel full of energy. Did a workout earlier and did an hour and a half walk with lots of hills so that felt good. Just had a couple of slices of roast lamb for tea with veg. I didn't even vaguely fancy pudding even when it was offered.

Milton.....that's so inspiring.
I'm doing good, thanks. 7kg off. Day 12 today.
I walk everyday and my step is lighter with the weight loss.
1.2 has given me some occasional nausea and a bit of acid reflux, but honestly, I'll deal with most things to be a decent weight.
4kg to my first goal of 100k.
My Saxenda journey is a secret. I've told no one as I don't want any pressure so here is where I can talk out it.
Is anyone else keeping it confidential?

I've told my husband but no one else as I know they'd be horrified.

I haven’t told anyone else, not even my husband! I do tell him most things but he’s quite against putting weird things in your body for the sake of appearance, unlike me So he doesn’t know about the small amounts of fillers and Botox I get either.

Hope you’re feeling better @Chrissols I have been good on 1.2, much better appetite control than on 0.6.

My husband knows, one friend, and a colleague in the US who's also struggling with her weight.

My sister is a mental health nurse and is an absolute nightmare for scaremongering, and my mum would tell her, so I'm just not going there.

All our secrets.
My family would be horrified! And about my Botox too.
I'd get none stop negative comments.
Some things are best kept to oneself.

One of my friends knows, but I haven't told anyone else. Would be embarrassed to admit it for some reason! Hence why it's good to be able to talk about it here. Well done everyone for latest losses, I am waiting till Friday to weigh myself, so fingers crossed this week is better than last.

I have told my husband and my pharmacist and that is all. I am like @HowlingGale, for some reason feel slightly embarrassed, goodness knows why, I guess it's like saying 'I'm fat' to the world

My neighbour, not a very nice lady, is training to be a nurse and turned to be a few weeks ago stating 'you could never be a nurse, you're too fat'!!
