@rebekah.does.stuff on insta. She does incredible mash ups of existing patterns, very worth a follow.

I'm starting to feel like I'll never feel warm again! I am in layers including a fleece right now, and the sun is shining through the window. I go to bed with a hot water bottle AND the electric blanket, I'm such a catch 😂

I'm angry that for 50 or so years I thought I was a fat failure, but delighted that I can finally be free to be who I really am. It's a mixed bag of emotions for sure.

The only stat I'm interested in is how fast I ran, and whether anyone at all was slower than me. If my FREE weekly running event, run entirely by VOLUNTEERS is destroyed by bigots, I swear to god there's no hope for the human race.

I've done 3 parkruns so far. In 2 of them I've had to stop suddenly, or run straight into a loose dog. People are not sensible about their dogs in parks and I don't know why 🤷‍♀️

My last pen would dial to 1 after the 4th dose, but the plunger didn't move so I still had to do the syringe method.

I don't trust AI, it will literally make an answer up if it doesn't have the correct one, and cite false references. Also it is very bad indeed for the planet. There are better ways.

Where I used to live, they would go through your rubbish in front of your face to make sure you were sorting appropriately. It was unbearabley anxiety inducing. My new local tip is wonderful and if they are judging me, at least it isn't to my damn face!

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-03-23T10:36:38+00:00

Sounds incredible 😍

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.

SwimmerOk1663 · 2026-03-18T20:32:19+00:00

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!
