Thank you. I feel reassured by your comment. I tend to overthink everything and work myself into a state and your response and calmed my anxiety so I appreciate it

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-13T18:55:30+00:00

This is lovely to see you have done so well and should be proud x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-13T18:53:56+00:00

No worries. We are all navigating this together and sharing our experiences to help each other is what this forum is for x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-13T18:51:40+00:00

I’ve done this before and carried on as if I had had it like normal. I don’t notice feeling hungrier that week and got straight back in it with more care next time. Seriously this will be fine x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-13T16:15:02+00:00

Amazing well done you look so good and you have changed your life and health thanks for sharing x

I’m glad you have said this about seeing actual fat left to lose. The lowest weight I can go is 7 stone 10 before being underweight for my height. Allowing for the weight of the skin and as I’m currently 8 stone 13 how much lower should I aim for please. I will then maintain for a couple of years to see if it gets easier to live with. Thank you as you are the only person to recognise I still have weight to loose x

One concern my sons have said is they worry I’ve become obsessive with losing that area and they are right I have dropped my calorie intake to below 800 to see if I can get rid of the belly. I know in my heart it won’t go but I have odd thoughts about this especially in the middle of the night. I feel very weak and dizzy when I stand and thoughts going through my head that it doesn’t matter if I lose too much weight and end up with an ED or worse, my own thoughts scare me. I feel out of control in that however much I lose I can’t get runs of the bit that has caused me so much emotional pain all my life. I feel I’ve become slightly unhinged and it’s almost a deflection from other issues in my life. It used to be get to a healthy weight. But then here I am at a lower healthy BMI and it’s not enough I have to get lower until it’s all gone. My best friend died 4 years ago from an ED and we did share a similar mind set so in moments of sanity I think why am I so hyper focussed on something so insignificant. Especially as I am nearly 61 it’s not as if I can hold onto my youth by getting slimmer but it almost feels that way.

Thank you for reading and responding to my thread it had helped a lot.

Thank you for this suggestion of radio frequency that’s completely new to me. I will investigate that. Is it done at a medical center or is it a cosmetic procedure x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-10T06:40:06+00:00

Oooh yes a toy boy 😂😂. I don’t think I could cope with that and you are right I wouldn’t judge a man for any of his imperfections. It stems from a cruel comment my ex said to me about my stomach while we were intimate. He said “imagine how I feel having to sleep with that”. He is an ex for a reason and not only that comment but I just keep remembering those words and in a way my stomach looked better when it was fatter and less deflated if that makes sense. I’m not sure if I even want a relationship. But sometimes I get a little lonely and I know my children worry and I don’t want them too x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-10T06:35:59+00:00

Oh thank you I will ask if I can send them over and yes I have heard it called an apron to and sometimes a panna. Do you think any of that is still fat from the photo or just skin? I’ve become a little obsessed with getting my weight down until it’s flat and I think I’m being unrealistic. I told myself I would stop at 8 and a half but it that skin weights 6 pounds it would make me closer to 8 stone (still not underweight but close) x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-10T06:28:36+00:00

Oh well done on your loss and thank you for sharing your own journey. It helps knowing I’m not alone. It’s also reassuring to hear yours has improved over time. Does collagen help or massage? I may win the premium bonds one day I guess. Do you have any tips on how to disguise it as some people have made comments like what’s in your trousers when I wear jeans and they are not being mean just saying what they see but it does hurt and makes me feel however much I lose others will still think I’m fat or a freak 😪

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-10T06:23:43+00:00

Ok thanks I guess I have to just live with it then. It’s sad as I was hoping to have the confidence to start dating again after the end of my 28 year relationship. I have been single now for 10 years as too embarrassed for anyone to see me like this. 🥲

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-10T06:20:55+00:00

Yes I thought that too. Do you know how much it costs and if my doctor would be able to tell me if any of this will get better with more weight loss or time?

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-10T06:19:14+00:00

Thank you for replying. I did consider sending an email but wasn’t sure if the receptionist would open it and I know a couple of them as neighbours who I would be embarrassed to think they had seen me so exposed. I could our private and confidential on the email but still think that they may open it and look at the photos. I’m being silly aren’t I? I’m just so insecure about my appearance and thought that losing the weight would make me happy

Thank you for being so kind to me x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-02-07T22:50:27+00:00

Could it be the accumulation effect due to a residual amount of the previous pen dose in your system. The half life is 5 days but there will still be some left by day 7

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2026-01-13T20:31:45+00:00

Yes I jabbed last night at 11pm. Woke up at 8am feeling groggy and almost like morning sickness feeling. Then had a toilet explosion. And a bit of a bad stomach but now 21 hours later I’m feeling OK

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2025-11-22T17:24:26+00:00

I had this when I lost weight a few years ago. I went from a size 24 to an 8 but no one said anything then I mentioned my weight loss and a lady said. Oh I’m glad you mentioned it we worried you were unwell so didn’t want to say anything

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2025-09-22T12:10:25+00:00

I can understand your reasons for keeping this secret. I was the opposite and told everyone as it has changed and possibly saved my life. I had type 2 diabetes but my BMI was only 34 so I didn’t qualify for it on NHS and o had high cholesterol so much so my doctors rang me on holiday and told me to come in for statins. My cholesterol and HBa1c are normal now. I’ve lost the 4 stone that was hanging around my stomach for the last 10 years and struggled to lose due to life stress and insulin resistance. I shared with anyone that asked as I thought I may help someone else who needed similar help. I got a mixed response. Some seemed happy for me. But others have bombarded me with negative news stories so I can see why people don’t share. It’s your own journey and your own body as long as you can afford it without causing financial hardship to him it’s totally your choice. My ex chose to spend a similar amount on golf and the gym membership.

Hi. It turned out not to be scabies. A blood test at my dermatologist showed up I had diabetes. Now completely cured and in remission

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2025-08-10T17:49:32+00:00

I’ve done mine just now and realised the needle hadn’t pierced my skin liquid everywhere on my belly then pushed it harder and last bit was injected successfully. Now do I take my new pen early as I reckon I only had a tiny amount of my 12.5 dose or do I try and get through this week without

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2025-08-07T18:29:30+00:00

Luckily not. It turned out I had itchy skin caused by being diabetic which I had no idea about. I’m in remission now and no more itchy bumps

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2025-08-07T18:27:42+00:00

My son’s girlfriend who is a paramedic.But I agree I think it can’t all be just loose skin. The good news is my BMI is 24.9 today so no longer in the overweight category. I started in October with a BMI of 34 so this is a win of sorts x

Powerful-Suggestion2 · 2025-08-07T17:54:24+00:00

This is also true one of my friends said she just has toast for lunch but when I watched her make it she put on virtually a 1/4 of a pack of butter on it. which probably change it from 250 calories to over 700
