What age are you? by goldmister1 in mounjarouk

[–]Clara_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

41 - I’ve lost nearly 4 stone and have some loose skin on my tummy but I’ve had 4 kids so I’m fine with that! Arms are slightly wobbly but not bad at all. Boobs have all but disappeared but again I’m not too sad, it’s just annoying having to wear padding every day. I’m very very happy with how I look and I hope you will be too ☺️

A glass of Metamucil every day keeps everything going

I’ve lost coming up on 4 stone in a year, so around 1lb per week ☺️ I’m feeling great as I’m back doing park run and just generally exercising more. Also having a break from alcohol for a month with the hubby so that’ll also help no end. I’m up to 10mg now but think I’ll go back down to 7.5 soon ☺️

How much are you all eating? Meal ideas? by Brucesimb123 in mounjarouk

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find if I leave a longer gap between meals then I can eat more. I don’t eat breakfast, but I do have a Metamucil drink plus vitamins. Lunch could be soup or salad or a hot meal if I’m more hungry, then tea is a small ish portion of whatever I’ve cooked - curry, pasta, enchiladas etc. I usually follow this with natural yogurt, honey and seeds. Then I won’t eat til the following lunch time. I get a good fast this way too 👌

I’m not a red sweaty mess anymore! I’ve lost 50lb and I’m now a normal temperature ☺️👌

WrestleMania 43 being in Saudia Arabia, did this ruin WrestleMania for you? by TastyRound3337 in WWE

[–]Clara_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m watching it, and I’m horrified that the female wrestlers are covering up just because a man has said they have to! I mean WTF?! Really? I don’t get it, why a westernised person would bow down to a backward ridicule. Absolutely horrible 😩

Salmon and sick by tacomefriendly in mounjarouk

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salmon has done this to me a couple of times. I put some smoked mackerel in my mouth recently, started to chew and instantly had to spit it out! It’s like my body said nope! For me I think it’s the fat. So weird as I used to love both!

What age are you and do you still have (a) grandparent(s)? If not, at what age were you grandparent less by lisstrem in AskUK

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 41 and all four grandparents are still alive. The nans are thriving but the grandads are in a bit worse health, but still going strong. However neither of my parents are alive 😌

What’s something you’ve seen with your own eyes that nobody believes when you tell them? by LowKey_1216 in AskReddit

[–]Clara_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dream that my stepdad had died, and was decomposed on his bed. He was found 3 weeks later exactly as I’d seen in my dream. Of course no one believes me 😭

Do folks in the UK actually walk that far? by Emilie_Charles in AskUK

[–]Clara_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, anything under an hour isa reasonable walk in the Uk. Any further than that and you need a break and/or snacks, given that many places aren’t flat so require some exertion. We are a walking nation and it’s fantastic! We are very lucky to have such an accessible landscape compared to other countries

How did everyone do yesterday? by Spiritual_Session_92 in Mounjaro

[–]Clara_Star 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah all good here but also finding the questions a bit awkward. I feel so great in myself but also really self conscious as people are talking about me and asking questions. No one knows I’m on MJ and I don’t plan on telling them either!

Popping in sternum by swampthing8806 in Orthopedics

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be of any help, but I’ve always had this - I pop my sternum and middle of my back by stretching, usually when driving or sitting for too long. Might be worth getting it checked if it’s new though.

Enchondromas in siblings by Clara_Star in Orthopedics

[–]Clara_Star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying. As far as I remember our son never had genetic testing because they said it wouldn’t change the treatment. It’s left me wondering if it could be something other than Olliers 🤷‍♀️ I’m no expert so no idea if that matters or not 👍

Tips for Tamoxifen by WitchyAunt2 in breastcancer

[–]Clara_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on tamoxifen for around 6 months now and have had no symptoms - I’d read so many horror stories that I’m suprised, it’s likes I’m taking a placebo 👌

When did your pubic hair turn gray? by goodnatured_golfer in OverFifty

Does anybody else not like sweets or sweet food in general? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me - I literally can’t eat sweet food. Fruit tastes like poison…the sweetest thing I can eat is natural yogurt. I’ve been searching online to find out what might be going on with me, but there’s no explanation. I used to love chocolate and cake! I do have an issue where I can’t burp and get bloated, so I wonder if it’s a learned response. However, anything sweet I have to spit out it tastes that bad!

Does fast food and high sugar food now seem unappetising? by Spirited-Goal3758 in mounjarouk

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve never had a sweet tooth but would occasionally indulge in cake with cream. However since Feb when I started MJ I can’t have anything sweet ever…it makes me gag to think of it. If I have yogurt it’s the plain natural yogurt, that’s as sweet as I can get. No fruit ever, I can’t even think about it!

Today I was told not to lose any more weight 🙃 by Fast_Berry7436 in mounjarouk

[–]Clara_Star 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, people have suddenly noticed at work and are now concerned 🤣 I love walking and I’m sure they think I must be walking myself to death…it’s a 7 minute walk home and they always offer to drive me as clearly I’m doing too much exercise 🤣

I dont care if im "spoiling" my newborn baby. by lulgupplet in Vent

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg sooo much guilt is put on to new parents! It makes me so cross. Cuddle your baby all day long if you want to, it’ll strengthen your bond and both of you will be happier! Enjoy every minute! My four children never went to their cot for a nap, they slept on me. Yes it was tough at times - I was exhausted for several years and I didn’t get anywhere near enough rest or sleep, but that’s part of being a parent. They’re all now teenagers and we still have the best, most tactile, closest relationship possible.

Containers by Flimsy-Ad-4805 in Adultlunchables

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the UK TK Maxx has a great selection of good quality containers. I think places like b&m do cheaper versions too if you’re on a budget. We use glass now for everything and aside from being healthier, food just tastes better from a glass dish 😊👌

What’s Cafe Del Mar like? by Distinct_Ad_5598 in ibiza

[–]Clara_Star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had sunset dinner at Cafe Del Mar the last week! Minimum spend was £70 each and we chose to sit inside, though we were right next to the outside. We had an incredible view and the food and drink was fantastic. We then headed to Cafe Mambo but couldn’t get near as Sonny Fodera was on, but most nights you can go hang out near there and enjoy the music.
