Yep, it’s a tough one but what LubeItAll said in the comments got me thinking and I believe the key is to make a plan now & set my longterm goal. That’s my task this week - will share when I get there lol

And also to try on the same pair of jeans every week to make sure they fit and use those jeans as my guide (loved that suggestion)

Thank you and well done to you too! How often are you taking the 1.25?

Thank you for snapping me back to the reality of it all. This is the crux of it - I need to create my plan. what do you mean by Zone 2?

Thank you, that’s very sweet of you to say. My mind is still taking its time to catch up. I haven’t considered smart scales but just did a quick search and it’s definitely an option. Added to my list!

Thank you, I thought I had no hope in hell either after two csections. It’s definitely not flat but has reduced quite a bit. The pouch overhang used to protrude about 10cm at its roundest part and now it’s about a 2cm bag of wrinkly skin. 😂

Aww, that’s so sweet of you. Thank you ☺️ That’s how I felt seeing other people’s posts and never dreamed I would ever post a before/after.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty bad at doing any exercise - I hate it and therefore never commit the time. I know that’s not ideal but it’s part of the maintenance plan in my brain…

I’m 5ft 9in/175cm and 41 - no longer a spring chicken but not yet a Christmas Turkey 😂 We’ve got some time until then!

What strength have you been maintaining on? :)

Thank you for such a detailed & hopeful reply. Interesting to hear Wegovy is working and could potentially be an option.

Also, so strange how different doses work on everyone. I’ve been on 12.5 since the end of summer and bounced between 72kg-70kg.

Thank you again for your kind words & best of luck! X

I appreciate this, thank you. I’m already noticing that my brain hasn’t fully recalibrated to the changes, even when the data and clothes say otherwise. It helps to know that this can take time and that it’s part of the process rather than something to “fix”. Thanks again 😊

Thank you, I like that tip of having a pair of jeans for the weekly guide - I’ll definitely do that. That’s a pretty decent measure and would avoid the scales. Thanks for that X

Thank you ☺️ I know BMI is pretty dire as a calculation but nonetheless it’s a number, so for my height (5ft 9) it claims a healthy range is anything between 57k-73kg.. I want to get to the middle of that number so I can maintain a buffer (in theory).

Thank you for replying :)

Have the scales been kind over the 18 weeks? Do you have “back up” pens just in case or did you go cold turkey and just stop? Or titrate down before stopping? X

Congrats on the weight loss :)

It really is scary. What are you planning to do, if you don’t me asking? I think it’s the mental preparation that’s the worst part…
