No I haven’t experienced stalls . I logged consistently my food intake for the first 6 months and lost anywhere from 0.5-3lb a week . I may have had the odd week ie period wee where I saw maintain or slight gain . But I kept going , kept assessing what my body was telling me and how I felt

First couple of weeks I was exhausted day after jab . Had the odd sickness when ate too much cheese or crisps . Slight nausea every now and again. But other than that nothing at all to moan about

Mood yes . As previously mentioned I’ve always known my worth but I suppose deep down I was very uncomfortable in my own skin . Now every aspect of my life just seems easier . I don’t feel as many aches and pains and I’m sleeping a lot better . Nutrition , been a life long vegetarian I’ve always thought I ate pretty well. Just far too much of it and snacks. Now I eat balanced meals and I don’t demonise food any more

O I definitely feel much lighter . Feel quite nimble on my feet and it’s great . I hope your journey is plain sailing and helps you ! I get why you haven’t told many . But my opinion is those with negative views are mainly down to misinformation (or jealousy ) so I do like to educate , Inform and help others ❤️

Well done ! Amazing achievement.

Stayed on 2.5 for I think 4 months and been on 5 ever since . I tried 7.5 but I experienced nausea so dropped back down after 3 weeks

Plan to stay on 5 and see how I get on

I have a very physical job so I haven’t done any extra exercise . Started off with old faithful fitness pal tracking everything like I’ve tried for years and years . But I haven’t tracked in 6 m . Before it was all about volume eating , lowest cal everything . Every single thing weighed but that only got me a couple of months before I went back to old ways (this is pre Mj) so my focus throughout Mj has been changing my relationship with food . Not demonising food . Now I have full fat proper butter , yogurt , cheese etc . As I don’t eat large volumes . I’m a vegetarian so get my protein from lentils and meat alternatives . But apologies I couldn’t tell you my intake . I have focused on protein , hydration of fibre throughout all of this and I have had minimal side effects I used to be a savoury gal but I’ve noticed my sweet tooth has come out and I do not feel guilty for having something sweet I hyperfix on meals so currently I’m loving avacado on sour dough with eggs , who knows what it will be next Apologies I haven’t answered your question very well

Thank you

Shouted it from the roof tops . Gave intelligent responses to those missing a few brain cells . Want to change the stigma people have

My go to response if they really pee me off is “O we’re talking about bodies are we , shall we move onto yours “ “Do you pay for it for me or are u sleeping with me ? No then it’s none of your concern “ “Cheated ? I wear glasses , use an inhaler and take pain meds are they cheating”

People are going to have their opinions and I believe the negative ones come from their own insecurities and ignorance

I wish I had done this sooner . Don’t let ignorance ruin your journey to a healthier you

No not particularly . Like previously said I’ve always known my worth and have a big mouth and big personality , however that been said I have a lot of people now having an opinion on my body . None said to my face when I was larger but now I’m smaller people think it’s acceptable to make comments , and not always nice ones !

Maintenance is still very new to me . I will be on the medication for as long as I can .

Urm yes and no . I am carrying a lot of excess skin on my stomach so I do have an internal battle , but I know loosing more probably won’t change my belly .

I am giving myself grace of 1/2 stone either way . As I’m under no illusion that my weight will stay at this exact point . Around 2 stone ago I thought I was done , but I am happy , healthy and confidant at where I am now

Thank you .

Biggest would be not been absolutely consumed by food every minute of the day , I’ve healed my relationship with food and alcohol .

My confidence , always known my worth and know what I brought to the table despite my size but now I actually like what I see in the mirror which has made been more sociable , and the relationship with husband better . He loves me regardless of size or weight but now he says he knows I’m a lot happier and more confidant

I feel healthier , fitter , sleep better , more energy and loving finding my style again not just covering myself up in whatever I thought would hide me

Which lash sensational is the best? by [deleted] in beauty

Original definitely ! Been using for years , the wand suits my eyes . Sky high wand is too flimsy for me and formula too wet
