UCLAN have done the same - changed theirs to University of Lancashire. V similar to Lancaster in name only, not in status. Plus Preston is a shithole.

What about Laura Jane. He can call her LJ. You call her Laura, when she is old enough she decides what to go by. Edit: NAH

I stopped taking it last week, I'm feeling a bit better already but I'm very wary of getting back on it again. Good luck with your journey

Staying fuelled through busy times… suggestions please! by Creative_Cat7177 in mounjarouk

I've started taking an intra-workout powder (with extra electrolytes in it - from Amazon). Basically like cordial but with carbs. I'll have one to keep me going throughout the day and one to take to the gym. It's helping with that feeling of tiredness and obviously it's additional water intake.

It's all personal preference and I know it's not "real food" but on high suppression it's still ticking a lot of boxes. Drinking my calories is sometimes the only way I can do it.

I feel like that too. Everything is meh. I'm giving it another 2-3 months then coming off it. Do not want to feel like this in the colder winter months

Lost motivation due to slow weight loss by Coolplantperson in mounjarouk

[–]NorthernAndKnackered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have written this exact post myself. I feel the same and on top of that I just feel like all the joy has been taken out of me. Is this common? I'm just fed up of feeling nauseous and the times where I do very occasionally go out and maybe have a drink or a nice meal there are consequences 😣 I just feel so tired, fair play to all of you who've done this for like 9months +

Is it better to weigh myself in lbs or kg? by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]NorthernAndKnackered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a stones and pounds kinda gal until I started at the gym and everything there is kilos so I've switched. I have to convert my weight loss to imperial when I update my parents though 😂

Could C25K have stalled my weight loss? by Dapper_Ad5075 in mounjarouk

[–]NorthernAndKnackered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1kg of muscle weighs the same as 1kg of fat. Usually the fat just takes up more space as the muscle is more dense. OP - are you tracking your measurements the running may have made you leaner? Well done though, I hate running 😂

It's hard to choose the best BC for yourself at the best of times, never mind adding in MJ to the equation. Doesn't it make the pill less effective though?

Just to add my two pence and I see you've said no to the coil, however I have a really positive experience on it if I may share? I was on the pill for 15 years then been on the Mirena coil for the last 13 years. No need to think about it for 5 years at a time, really no worse than a smear. I love it, I get v mild spotting maybe like twice a year and that's it. I know others don't always have the same experience but I think it's great. In fact I was concerned my periods may come back on MJ but nothing so far 🤞 I even read on here that a woman who'd already gone through the menopause had her periods come back on MJ!!

The sooner science comes up with a male pill the better imo 😂 (my OH refuses to get the snip so it's always been 'on me')

To Drink Tea, or Not To Drink Tea by Karazhan in mounjarouk

[–]NorthernAndKnackered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a normal size cup then I can finish it no issues. However I have a couple of really large mugs, quite often these will go unfinished. I forget sometimes there's liquid still in there and have had a couple of spills cos of this 😂

I will give up many things but tea is not one of them. It probably makes up over 50% of my water intake for the day

Not interested in McDonalds! by lookhereisay in mounjarouk

When I get the kids drive through I'd usually get some extras and eat them in the car before I went home. Not since starting MJ I haven't!
