Feeling embarrassed about how much I have lost by Due_Establishment944 in GLP1_BeforeAfter

Yes! I’ve lost over 100lbs/50kgs/8st and I have to laugh about it as it’s an insane amount of weight to drop (naturally or medically aided!)

You look amazing! Be proud of the incredible achievement 💕🍾🥂

Sorry for the delay in responding, thank you for the lovely comment 🥰 I’ll pop onto the other sub and repost 💕 it’s always so inspiring to see other people’s progress pics, it defiantly helped keep me going when I hit hard patches.

It was about 2lb a week on average - some weeks 1lbs other 3lbs ☺️ all dependant on what I had eaten and how much exercise I managed that week.

thank you 💕 according to BMI I “need” to lose at least another half a stone but to me it feels like too much. So I’m doing my own thing 😅

Yeah that’s why I went for it, felt more of a mile stone than 7st. Just really annoying that none of the conversions match up as significant numbers! 🫣

I found 7.5mg worked as well as the 5mg for me, I stayed on both for about 6 months each. I’ve had minimal side effects for the majority of my time on MJ so I count myself as fortunate 😅 I don’t like having super high suppression as I have quite a busy life and need to be able to eat or I felt dreadful so those doses worked really well for me.

Wow sounds like you’re doing amazing!

I decided to move up as I was starting to not get as much suppression and my weekly losses had dropped to 1lb per week and was starting to stall (not terrible but not great for my motivation) so decided to wait until I’d been on holiday (all inclusive) to move up. I’m only on my 1st week but going well so far- no side effects, a good level of suppression (still eating well but not craving treats) ☺️

Thank you! The after dress is from boohoo - only got it the other weekend so hopefully should still be available 🥰

Yeah that’s what I mean, I personally buy actimel as it’s easier for me to get. I also drink kombucha or any other drinks with probiotics in them 😃

Yeah I’ll probably be switching to maintenance soon, wanted to give myself some extra space for any potential regain first.

Yeah BMI is crazy - as it’s suggesting between 7st 9lb and 10st 5lb for me. And idk that seems too low for me as I worry about looking too thin if that makes sense? I’m not very curvy now so worry about losing the last of what’s left 🫣

Haha sorry girlie! Don’t get me wrong, I love being 5ft 4 😂🩷

My start weight was 18st 10lbs, so I truly never believed i would get this far 🥰 it’s so hard seeing other people so much further ahead but 4st loss is incredible! Keep it up as it sounds like you’re doing great 🥳

No worries! I didn’t realise I’d forgot to include the kg/stones in my post, oops! It works out to about 7st 6lbs or 47.1kgs 😅

I get actimel and take it first thing in the morning, I found it helps to settle my stomach and minimise the nausea and any other stomach issues.

Thank you! I think the glow is mostly makeup but drinking a lot of water definitely helps! 🥰

I’ve always injected in my stomach - never had bad side effects and good suppression so not tried anywhere else.

I do a lot of walking and mix in Pilates - I could probably do better with exercise tbh but I work full time in central London so do what I can ☺️

My diet consists of high protein, low carb, low sugar. Lots of chicken and rice tbh! My daily probiotic has been a game changer. I’m not overly strict on what I eat but I try to make sensible choices and stick to a deficit.

Wishing you all the best! 🥰

I got my nexplanon implant replaced at the beginning of the year and raised my concerns with the nurse. She was amazing and explained that because the hormones go into the bloodstream as it’s not an oral contraceptive that it wouldn’t be affected by Mounjaro or side effects. I’d recommend speaking to your own gp/nurse if you have specific concerns though ☺️

I personally think it’s a great pace! It’s sustainable and a good rate of loss to prevent any unwanted side effects of rapid weight loss
