Frugaleers - let's finish out 2022 strong

[Happierwithouthim]

6 weeks to Christmas
I'm making a promise to you guys to record my journey here, who's with me?

Unfortunately you'll have to stay working for another while!

I owe I owe so off to work I go to tune of hi ho hi ho, was screensaver of a former work colleagues phone!

Ha yes sadly a few (lots) more years
140.3/4 after a cuppa so I’m recording 140.5

Oh that is wonderful Happier well done lovely am thrilled to bits for you !
Great work well done on joining the gym Life
Not too bad here atm food wise but it's bound to change hey ho !
Genhope everything is ok with you and your lovely Dh bless him

happier that’s a great NSV!
We are ok, DH is a bit stressed with funeral stuff and related family drama.
I had got to 136.4 but up today to 137 - period due any day and also been eating a few more carbs while walking in wales, we did a 4 day hiking trip and sandwiches were just the easiest option.

life I completely agree about work!! I’d be a supermodel if it wasn’t for bloody work!

Gen your poor Dh and you , bless you both, l think once the funeral is all over then you will be able to relax more , fingers crossed for you both take care lovely

Well without work we'd have lots more time for exercise but probably more time for eating too!

175.5lbs this morning half a lb from 2.5st lost at cost of €1740.
I've appt with endocrinologist in two weeks so hopefully that'll help identify a strategy going forward.

Other than taking the injection I'm just doing my walks and eating well like always

That’s amazing happier - well worth it, I think!!
I have lost 9 pounds at the cost of £450 in PT and gym fees. I want to lose another 10-12 pounds. I am feeling much better already.

Gen zero regrets I spent more on PT package and did everything I was told and lost nothing so this is great.

Well done you, it's so important to feel good while doing it

Anyone have an interest in reviving this thread - we can finish out 2023 strong

Lol

im being vey unsuccessful but aiming to be healthy (albeit chubby)

I've been put on strict diet by endocrinologist
Porridge for breakfast
Sandwich or salad plate for lunch
Dinner
Treat once a week go out for it don't bring stuff into house

Clomid for 4 days to try restart periods
Metformin in conjunction with ozempic to try combat insulin resistance/obesity
Amitriptyline 10mg for peripheral nerve pain?

Yikes I'm not a drug taker prescription or otherwise

You're anything but chubby

Ha defo rotund

yikes that’s a lot of meds. And restart period boo

I'm ten years without one, that's not normal & I didn't have bad ones.
She thinks my pituitary gland went into shock following post partum haemorrhages.

I’m defo up for reviving it happier

those drugs sound familiar from IVF!

I am 12 pounds down since 7 Aug, with another 10 to go to my goal. Hoping to get there by Christmas or shortly after.

I have pCOS too so it’s good for my health to lower the BMI and build muscle, I am having terrible periods atm and wonder if I might be peri menopausal, I’m 38.5 but my mum went into it early.

No defo not normal happier

well done gen

i did hitt step this morning. Contemplated asod, didn’t bother

Spinning this morning plus £10k steps
not brilliant food wise but better

im taking the win

Well done life!

I did a strength workout prescribed by PT this morning and met my step allocation, really want to see a loss on Friday on scales! My class bought me a donut so I ate it as they were all sitting watching me, it took me over my cals but these things happen!

It’s a one off gen. Sometimes you just have to

Gen I hope you enjoyed doughnut, a treat's allowed!!

172.5lbs this morning, 3lbs down since I started extra meds/diet one week ago. Actually only started meds on Friday so I guess it's diet and ozempic.

I didn't get any exercise over the weekend, but did lots of sorting/clearing out/laundry etc so was on my feet a lot.

I had my one treat for the week yesterday evening got the caramelised biscuit bun from aldi, it was ferociously sweet and 408kcals.

happier 3 pounds in a week is amazing!! Well done 👏
I am hoping to break into a new pound decade (129 or lower) on Friday at my official weigh in. I’m really short so my BMI is still 24.5 at 130 pounds, I’d like to get to 21/22 BMI.
gym tomorrow, have to go at 6am or I can’t get it in because work is so mad, getting my steps in by walking to work and then I get a lot of steps in around the campus.

Just checked my bmi - it's 31.6, this is after losing 38lbs, it was 38.6lbs when I started.

Endocrinologist set a target of 1.5st which will bring my bmi to 28.3, that's another 18lbs away

Gen I never have big losses so I am intrigued to see what will happen with this combo of medication. I'm a lb or half lb a week kinda gal. Best of luck with getting into next decade!

Dc went trick or treating last night, they'd full shopping bags of goodies, I ate one orange creme rose and left it at that.

Missing my Wed walk this evening as have to go to a meeting

171lbs
How did your weigh in go gen
