WEEK 17 UPDATE: Another weight loss with increased calories - is this the answer?

[@hellsbellsclarke3027]

HI Marcea, I'm 3 weeks behind you in my MJ journey and have been quietly watching you smash it like I am! I say to my husband every evening now I've got to watch my friend Marcea to see how she is today. Honestly, its been amazing as we can feel alone in our little club, I haven't told many people. I'm about a stone away from my target..I'm interested in upping my calories as I'm only on 1200.. first week on 7.5 and suppression is high so its not easy. Love your channel and the happy kitchen discos!! 😀 love Helen xxx

[@ladymawa]

Hi hun …. Aw Thankyou for this lovely message. It can be so lonely so I’m glad that this helps a little. As you know I really struggle with my calories but I feel I’m getting there now. Just having an awareness really helps. Good luck hunny on your new dose … hope it is a good one for you. Not long till your target now … 🥰♥️

[@elliecakes4157]

I love following you and have found your videos so supportive. I am on week 10 and 27lbs down. I am on my second month of 5mg. I am not sure whether to go up to 7.5mg for next month but I think I am going to see if I can do another month on 5mg - I have a lot more to lose so I want to spread the doses as long as possible. I am also shifting from Superdrug to Medexpress because it is £70 cheaper! I think I originally thought I'd go with a big name like Boots or Superdrug but since I am now getting them delivered I might as well go with the cheaper option. I really find the comments so helpful and inspiring. Good luck this week everyone.

[@ladymawa]

Hi lovely … you are doing absolutely brilliant … you must be so happy. I think you are right to see about another month on 5mg especially if it’s working so well. That’s a huge saving each month by switching. If you need a code give me a yell hun. Seems daft staying with a bigger pharmacy if you aren’t getting any extra benefits for your money. I think we are all so lucky to have each other here in the comments section … what a lovely community we are growing Have a beautiful week hunny xxx

[@Summerdreams3]

Thanks for these updates. I’m in my first month and my weight hasn’t really moved much which is hard to not get disheartened. Watching you is really motivating so thank you!

[@SP-nh1kz]

I didn't see any significant loss till I started 7.5mg. Stick with it, it'll happen 💜

[@ladymawa]

Bless you … I say this all the time but you really have to trust the process. It will work but you have to give it time. I recommend taking some body measurements too as motivation and a few photos. Drink plenty, eat well, exercise and the rest will follow xxxx ♥️

[@jodiegill5770]

I’m the same I know what you mean. We should never compare ourselves but it does make you question what you are doing wrong x

I just think if it’s coming off either on the sale on in cms then it’s all good. It’s a process though and the research shows most weight loss comes off further into the journey after several months xxx

Thank you for your Update- you are especially reminding me to not get used to go lower and lower with the calories- I think there is a slight „danger“ of wanting too much loss per week and thus slow down ones metabolism in the end. This week I also made sure to stick to my calorie goal and eat enough. Results will I see tomorrow…

Yet another lb off this week, I'm on 1400 cals a day and 105 protein, I'm on 10mg. I find the suppression fantastic but when it's mealtime i can make my meal & eat it then be full , food noise is totally gone. If I waited till I was hungry I'd maybe not eat but it's strange my mind knows I need to eat so I don't ever force myself just make jacket tattie & beans or tuna then enjoy that. Somebody told me I was fading away lol I'm not I've lost 18bs in 17 weeks and still have 36lbs to go

[@ladymawa]

You are being very sensible hun … it’s so important to make food and have a good calorie and protein goal. I had someone telling me a few weeks ago not to lose too much more. My bmi was at around 29 at that point … sigh. You know where you want to be … listen to yourself my darling and go smash it 🥰♥️

[@purplelorain6180]

Yay, go you🥰 I've just accepted the Renpho update, I didn't have to do anything with the dates, all my info was still there. I know it's not new but I really dislike the average weight thing, it can be really triggering seeing that higher number pop up. Also I wish you could delete an entry, even though I know I haven't put on any fat, and do only go by the downward trend I still don't like seeing that line go up and down. I thought that it would only register if you had the app open, this morning I was halfway down my 2nd coffee when I needed the loo lol. It's only been 6 days since my last weigh in but as I go by weigh in on poo days (caveat, that has to have occurred before coffee!) I got on the scales knowing that the coffees would probably show up. I was 0.6 up, no worries, my phone wasn't even in the same room but it registered when I opened the app to do the damn update! Anyway, rant over, I'm hoping for a survey kind of thing and I will bloomin' well tell them 🤣🤣🤣🥰

[@ladymawa]

Hi hun …. You can delete entries …. If you click history and then click the day there is a little bin icon on right side xxxx Hope this helps xxx

[@purplelorain6180]

@@ladymawa bloody hell 🤣 thank you. I forgot about that, I've done that before when I was checking the scales didn't go up 2lb if I moved them by 1 cm like my old scales did. I'd only deleted the 3 or 4 extra entries for the day so it still showed on the graph. I'll tidy it up when I get home, I'm off to Home Bargains for a tub of blackcurrant clear protein, I bought the tropical last week and it was quite palatable, £14.99 for 16 servings so a good price too xx

Hi Marcea. Your videos are uplifting. I'm in my 7th Dose/week. Not much side effects but I suffer a lot from reflux. So I hardly eat and can't even make 800 calories a day. Some days it's so difficult to put anything in my mouth. Please any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Oh no … how awful. Have you spoken to your provider? Do you have this all the time or after certain foods? Have you tried any antacids? I think you should speak with your provider and they will advise the best course of treatment xxx

Just an idea for your drinking - I’m sure you’ve said you’re a Pepsi max fan…you could challenge yourself to have a bottle of water/squash before you’re “allowed” a Pepsi. Sometimes we need to make deals with ourselves! X

[@ladymawa]

To be fair I do love Pepsi but I sip on a can through the day. I would rarely drink 2 cans now so that’s not going to work …. I just don’t drink that much but I’m a bit better than I was. I actually just need to fill my bottle I think … in fact I’m going to go buy a new bottle hahahaha. Great idea though for normal people 🥰♥️

Awww - well done Marcea - just show you can up the calories and still have a sensible weight loss. I had my 5th weekly weigh in on Tuesday and lost 3.4lbs - making a total of 1st 4.2lbs!Great news!Still suffering a bit with diarrhoea after two doses of 5mg but will stick with it - I may stay on 5mg if it doesn't clear up by the time I'm ready for month 2. I've downloaded the new Renpho app. It all looked ok but I noticed it hadn't updated the weight card and showed zero on the Total Loss and Progress stats. All the stats on Body Composition looked ok and had transferred. I decided to have a play with it and have now lost all the stats on the Body Composition page apart from Weight and BMI! Funnily enough though, all my historic stats are showing if I go into History and tap the right hand side of the card showing the Weight and BMi of each historic weekly recorded date! They are all there but the data has not transferred to the Body Composition page.🤷‍♀Has anyone else experienced this transferring to the new app and if so did you manage to correct it? I have set the date on the Body Composition card to my start date but still no go!

[@ladymawa]

You are doing so well with your journey. Is there a pattern to your side effects? Could it be related to something you are eating that’s maybe got fat or sugar? I hope it settles soon for you. Oh no … I’m so sad about the app - how annoying to lose all your data. Do you have it on another device such as an iPad that has not been update? Hope you have a better few days ahead xxx

[@janmurray3155]

@@ladymawa I'm not really eating hardly any processed sugar - mainly fresh fruit - although that could have something to do with it.I always try to have three pieces of fruit daily with my yoghurt. It was fine on the 2.5mg dose though.i don't think my diet is overly fatty but I'll carry on - hopefully it will settle down by the end of the fourth dose. I've had another look at my Renpho app and managed to fix it a bit.I had to manually put in my start weight when it first updated and inserted a slightly wrong figure. All the stats are now showing correctly on the Body Composition card now, but still no joy on the Weight/BMI card bit. And so alas, I haven't got the ribbon around the weight and BMI circle features like you have showing the progress since start. I'm not going to faff around with it any more though!😂

Hi … congratulations on starting your journey. That’s so exciting. I am with Med Express and they currently will prescribe for 2 years from your first prescription although I believe that the guidance is now changing to lifelong maintenance if required. I have seen a couple of pharmacies offering this and it is within the product license. It will ultimately be a decision you need to make with your provider when you get to that stage of your journey. The associated health benefits of being in a glp1 are very compelling and certainly make me want to look at long term low dose therapy eventually. Good luck xxx
