I’ve hit a total of 35 lbs off, so passed the halfway mark. <happy dance>
I told mine I was getting it. I explained that when I’m unhappy in my body and overweight, my self-esteem is awful, my sex-drive plummets and I’m grumpy. But if only there was a way for me to lose a few llb and feel better I’m sure I’d just want sex with him ALL DAY LONG.Anyone else not told their partner & struggling to come up with excuses why you don’t want to eat?!
My husband doesn't snack. Eats well and has never carried weight. I find I can emulate his eating habits now. Pretty much at goal and if I want some chocolate I have it but only a bite. Ozempic for me has been a 12 month journey. but I'm down from a bmi of 34 to 24. Size 18 to 14. I'm not tiny. I never will be but I no longer cringe when I'm out or bump into someone. Being in your 50s is so hard. The weight had crept up and was only going one way. On top of everything else it was a lot to content with.I cannot believe the change. I went to costa for late breakfast and grabbed a toastie, and I instinctively thought I’d get a mocha, but I got a latte instead. toastie has filled me up.
Yesterday I was out all day doing farm work (a regular occurrence on my days off) and id usually get a takeaway on the way home. I didn’t want one and knew I’d be wasting money as it’d last me days and I’m going away tonight for 3 nights. I had a piece of Birds Eye tempura chicken and half a pack of savoury rice (having had the previous half the day before- usually I’d have the pack in one go) and a piece of a sweet treat.
5lb lost so far. I had 95 to lose for my optimum goal weight for my height. 90 now. Of course I won’t lose 5lb every week but it’s a mild boost to get me started.

It’s the same drug afaik
Which has caused shortages for people who actually do need it and don’t want to just lose a stone to go on holiday!It might be because people have been lying about their weight to get them that they are taking extra precautions. It is regulated medication at the end of the day and it should only be used as licensed
For me, Ozempic gets rid of the will to have snacks. Or, if I do have one I have no appetite to eat a meal later.I’m not someone with a big appetite but have gained weight due to age and snacking. Do you think ozempic will help. I can’t drop a lb no matter what atm.
So I bought some new scales and it was such a great idea - thank you for everyone who encouraged me! It comes with an app which automatically saves your weight and BMI and tracks it for you which is so handy! Plus, no mental gymnastics trying to work out the exact weight like with my previous ones. I weighed myself on the old scales after weighing myself on the new ones and I can’t work out for the life of me how the old ones get that measurement - maybe it’s because it can’t properly calculate my weight as it goes pass the highest number? Either way, the new scales have encouraged me so much already. I’ve also lost 3 lbs since my weigh in on Wednesday which is good so around half a stone in 2 weeks (can’t be exact with the old scales so I’m making an educated guess).I posted this on the other thread but it was right at the end before it was closed and this one opened. I would love peoples opinions, but stuck on what to do.
‘Advice please needed - for the past 5 years I’ve been weighing myself on those old fashioned doctors scales. My weight is high so it spins around past the top number and then I have to add on the extra weight myself. I use stone and pounds and the highest number ends and then 8lbs later the 0 starts so it’s been a bit complicated adding the extra weight up. It also has kg and someone suggested I try and use that as well. It’s worked for me so far but today I was weighed at a hospital using an electronic scale and I’m actually 11lbs lighter than what I’ve been reading myself as. I should say now that I’m terrible and really unconfident when it comes to maths.
I’m thinking that I should buy myself a proper electronic scale but that would mean my previous measurements will be off and then I’ve lost 5 years of weighing myself (I like the little progress graph on MyFitnessPal). Should I carry as I’m hoping I’ll get down to the highest number on my dr’s scale or buy a new one and then go through MyFitnessPal and rework out what I had previously calculated (I take photos of the scales) and change them accordingly?’
No fuck off.Can I please be a buddy?! I’m starting next week, Saxenda tho
