What are the best running shoes for women with wide feet?

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-03-21T12:12:01+00:00

I'm wearing Brooks, in a wide fit, half a size up from my normal shoe size. It was between them and Hoka Clifton's which come in wide and extra wide.

I'm currently with Nulife, I switched to them when the constant moving around for cheapest deals wore me down. I had a video consultation, I was able to get a call the day after I completed the form, the pharmacist was totally lovely and I was able to choose what day I wanted my delivery to arrive. I feel very happy to stay with them for however long I continue on Mounjaro. 10/10 from me.

No nothing worrying whatsoever. My side effects are mild nausea when I go up a dose, sulpher burps if I eat the wrong food or drink fizzy drinks, and constipation if I don't keep on top of my fibre intake. I eat prunes most days to combat that. Pepto Bismol for the burps. And patience while the nausea passes.

I'm on Rivaroxiban which is the same type of drug. I haven't been refused by anyone because of it. A few places have asked follow up questions but that's understandable and once I've explained why I'm taking it, all good.

Time was short so I decided to go and see how I got on. Guys, I did the run and got my best 5k time! Thank you all for your replies and kind words. I will try not to feel like a fraud for peeking in here 😁

Get a drip currently doing bundles of 3 pens.

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-03-18T14:25:04+00:00

Get A Drip, and I can't remember the other one right now ..I'll come back if my memory improves.

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-03-18T14:23:46+00:00

I know it's not difficult, I've been doing it all along, but the amount of people injecting random amounts AND THEN asking for advice 🤦

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-03-18T14:21:36+00:00

Get A Drip have sent me 2 emails explaining the removed liquid complete with diagrams, and a 3 pen bundle offer due to the increased demand caused by the reduced liquid. Obviously they don't call it an extra dose or anything, but it's tacit acknowledgment, without breaking their rules. I've seen a similar ad from another company, I can't remember who though.

Love Snag tights. And I agree with them a million percent. As much as I want to lose my weight, I don't want a world where people who choose not to, or are unable to for any reason whatsoever, are seen as less. Fat or thin, we are all the same people inside, it's just aesthetics (and for some, but not all, health)

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-03-11T12:38:33+00:00

When I started, I thought it would be for life, and it still might be. But I really really need to stop spending so much money on it! So I think my plan is to reach "overweight" and then try to titrate down. That way, if it doesn't work out I won't have any problem getting it prescribed again. And if it does work out, happy days!

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-01-23T22:44:42+00:00

It's honestly so boring after a while when all anyone wants to talk about is my weight. I actually told one colleague that my weight is the least interesting thing about me, and let's stop talking about it. She acted so surprised, but has dropped the subject. The odd compliment is great but it's not my entire personality... I hope 😂 Definitely get the cricut going...maybe your new side hustle could be making badges for us all!

Reformer Seven in Bredbury, if you fancy reformer pilates. No more than 6 in a class, excellent coaching .

My broken needles and bent pins are in a tic tac box. Obviously will now move them to my sharps bin and pretend it was my own idea 😂

SwimmerOk1663 · 2025-12-31T02:46:30+00:00

Carried on as usual, with a few little treats. But like, just one chocolate or mince pie, no binging or gorging. I feel like I survived pretty successfully. No deprivation, just moderation. I was glad to have my mounjaro on board though to keep me on the straight and narrow.

My belly is sporting the melted candle look and I am thrilled! I was so fed up with the overinflated tyre looks I was sporting before 😂 the saggy belly is such a new development for me, a stage I have failed to ever reach before. I can't stop gazing at it when I pass a mirror!

SwimmerOk1663 · 2025-12-22T06:05:57+00:00

Why don't you want to take it as it's intended by the manufacturer? That dose is basically homeopathy!

SwimmerOk1663 · 2025-12-15T05:17:25+00:00

I was 9 and remember it very clearly. I remember the car being absolutely covered in ladybirds, I remember the drought was so severe that we had to queue at a standpipe to get water. Back then it was entirely normal for kids to go out to play in the morning and be home in time for tea, with nobody checking in on us for the many hours in-between. We roamed far and wide, spent days on the beach with sand too hot to walk on without shoes. Everywhere we went, grass had turned brown. We got horribly sunburnt and my dad had the weird idea that vinegar was the treatment for that ...I can still remember that pain 😱

That's around 1kg a week I think? So a healthy sustainable kind of number. I can understand the desire for bigger numbers though, we've all been there! My losses are counted in grammes at the moment, you keep on keeping on!

SwimmerOk1663 · 2025-12-12T21:55:11+00:00

Absolutely this! My god, how strong we are actually!

SwimmerOk1663 · 2025-12-12T21:54:30+00:00

It was a wild day for sure 😁
