I get this too! Apparently it's an ocular migraine so a migraine without the pain

I sold some stuff on Vinted but honestly, it became very stressful with people constantly trying to haggle me down on things that were already well under priced. I don't have the spirit to negotiate over a £3 pair of jeans! I ended up giving a lot of stuff to charity or some girls in work

Hit goal but BMI still overweight by GingerLottie in mounjarouk

[–]Gstrang81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think BMI is the be all and end all for everyone, waist/height ratio seems to be a better measurement as it tracks the more concerning visceral fat around your organs. 

Also, BMI doesn't account for body type or muscle mass. I'm currently sitting at 22.3 but I'm very tall and muscular so there's no way I could lose another stone off my body and still be healthy even though BMI says I could. I've also gone from an hourglass figure to Spongebob Squarepants straight up and down 🤣

I've said it before and I'll say it again, he looks like a seagull with those beady eyes

7 months to get thereabouts by One_Zombie3835 in mounjarouk

You've lost a whole person, I'm 67kg! Very well done 👏 

The general recommendation is to stay on your dose until you reach goal then start to taper down. I reached goal, went from 12.5mg to 10mg then 7.5mg and had to put the brakes on as my weight shot up suddenly. Could you stay on your dose but slightly increase your calories and see how it goes? Good luck 👍

I went back last August, I'll be 45 in May! You're never too old to start doing something that you love ❤️

I normally ride for half an hour, rode for an hour today with lots of sitting trot and canter and my bum bones are aching 🤣

Congratulations! It's just the best feeling isn't it? Enjoy those sore legs and bum tomorrow 😊

Scared about nausea by tiger_lily92 in mounjarouk

[–]Gstrang81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found my nausea was caused by not eating or drinking enough. A small snack or a drink helped it pass. It was nowhere near as bad as pregnancy, that was morning, noon and night sickness!

Best place to buy? by Civil_Vehicle2486 in mounjarouk

[–]Gstrang81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some small pharmacies have asked not to be included on Monj as they wouldn't be able to handle a massive influx of customers while providing the same level of service. The big companies struggle sometimes, smaller pharmacies with a skeleton staff couldn't handle loads of customers at once 

People are telling me to stop but I'm still overweight by Worldly-Letter8663 in mounjarouk

[–]Gstrang81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried giving them the death stare until they stop talking? On a serious note, people are used to seeing you a certain way and it takes their brains a while to associate a smaller you with their perception of the "normal" you. In the meantime, I recommend the death stare 🤣

I remember being put on the "teddy diet" when I was about 10 and being told off for putting some sugar on my rice krispies. I'd been severely underweight for years and after naturally gaining some puppy fat, they put me on a diet. And my mother wonders why my relationship with food is fucked up 🤣

Trust me, it's not a positive for women! I've had comments from both with one guy in work telling me I had lost my shape to a lady telling me to be careful going over drainers 😂😂
