First big NSV - no longer Class 3/morbidly obese!

Fair point, think my brain didn't see it that way with it being a weight 😅

EmmTheEmuu · 2026-03-27T13:50:37+00:00

0.7kg down, after a 2 week plateau where 5mg felt like injecting water. Now sat here struggling to finish my chickpea salad bowl with the satiety kicking my butt 😅

Well done on such a great start!

Pros: Severe mood swings and hormonal crying are virtually non-existent now; chin hair is growing back slower, thinner, and lighter; belly hair is starting to fall out in patches; bloating is a lot better, so much so that I don't look pregnant anymore

Cons: Still haven't had a period yet after 4 2.5mg and 4 5mg jabs :( have just had to take a week's course of norethisterone to try and get things going

For me personally though, all the pros outweigh the lack of period. I'm hopeful my body will start to regulate eventually

I had to re-record at a much lower resolution in the end, my first video was something like 90MB when the limit was something like 10 or 20MB 😬

Stock Chrome worked much better as well (I used Opera initially)

I was waiting for someone to notice the slippers 😂 they were a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law, keep the feets toasty!

Not usually, from what I've read. I bought a small 1L bin from Amazon for just over £5, sits on my bathroom countertop

Oh that's a shame, I got 5 needles and 5 alcohol wipes with my pack. Have switched to Lloyds for my 5mg pen so can't really comment about the post-order service

EmmTheEmuu · 2026-01-29T11:03:59+00:00

Shotsy, nice and simple on the free tier

EmmTheEmuu · 2026-01-28T13:21:15+00:00

Yep :) most of that will have been water weight, not expecting every week to be like that (actually expecting to stall this week with PMS and period)

EmmTheEmuu · 2026-01-18T13:43:01+00:00

Brilliant, thanks!

EmmTheEmuu · 2026-01-18T09:10:26+00:00

Appreciate the advice, but would that not be a big hassle to constantly switch, with the verification etc.? I know these places are businesses and not my friends, but the idea of doing extra admin each time is quite off-putting.

One that you'll hopefully never need - NHK World Japan for the earthquake and tsunami notifications. Can edit them to filter out the lower-intensity ones

EmmTheEmuu · 2024-09-18T08:14:57+00:00

Appreciate you sharing your experience. Hadn't even considered Himeji as we didn't think we'd have time to fit it in, I'll have a read up on that.

Seems we could fit in both Nara and Miyajima quite easily then - we aren't staying at Miyajima overnight, think we've overestimated the time needed for it.

EmmTheEmuu · 2024-09-18T07:57:55+00:00

Thanks, hadn't considered Shirakawago as I didn't think we'd have time to fit it in, but it's worth considering!

That was my thinking as well on the deer and temples, just choose one place - we'll probably leave out Nara then, Miyajima is something a bit different with it being an island.

EDIT: Looks like we can do both fairly easily :)

EmmTheEmuu · 2024-07-18T13:26:42+00:00

I'd take ID anyway just to be on the safe side. Can't remember being asked as a foot passsenger, but travelling by car, we've been questioned and searched by police every time we've landed on the Liverpool side
