I have just been prescribed Mounjaro and the surgery are going to prescribe 4mm needles. Before they did I had a quick Google and read that people with lots of subcutaneous fat (guilty!) may need longer needles eg 8mm. My question is how will I know if 4mm needles are too short? The surgery...

Zigzag Hill, Shaftesbury

Was going to weigh myself yesterday but ran out of energy. I definitely feel smaller, my belly no longer sticks out further than my boobs! Will try to get on the scales this weekend.

Thank you @Antje77 I'm sure we'd have fun :happy: I've been a bit tearful today after WhatsApping an old friend from my teens and remembering my old life. I thought I was resigned to my new circumstances but I'm obviously still grieving deep down. Probably triggered by the holiday, I've had a...

10.3 2 hours earlier than usual, wonder if that's significant.

Horses, elephants, lions - play safely!

Boat hook

It's on private land so presumably they just lock the access gates. If I knew I was going to use it more than once I wouldn't mind but this year is going to be very expensive as it is. Would be useful to put my phone in I suppose if nothing else. Insurance and safety I guess, so they can see...

10.3 Not upset as I tested 2 hours earlier than usual. A few strips of biltong brought it down to 8.0, at around the time I'd usually get up and see a 9.5, so it's a win. Got a massive mixing bowl of homemade Greek salad to eat today as it wouldn't fit in the fridge. It won't be a hardship...

I've had a look online and the nearest sea swimming is about 20 miles away, so it's a choice of two lakes. The nearest one is only open until the end of September but the year-round one is only 5-10 miles away and looks attractive. Trying to persuade family to help make it happen for my birthday...

I'd love to give it a try sometime, not sure the water round here is clean enough unfortunately. As a child my brother and I would spend so long in the sea we'd turn blue!

Photos seem to be working again, hurrah! 9.3 today. I'm starting Mounjaro next week so hopefully no more double figures. Steak dinner to celebrate the completion of an onerous, important form...

A piece of aged sirloin steak that's about 50% fat. My holiday treat in lieu of chocolate, tablet and shortbread!

Managed an 8pm last week on holiday. Might try to do this more often at home too, especially as the nights draw in.

Hello, I'm back after a week in Scotland, exhausted but it was well worth it! Loads of "tasty scran" even though we didn't visit Lidl after all, turns out Morrisons had all the products we wanted and lots more besides, so we visited the ones in Dumfries (twice), Falkirk and Aberdeen! Food...

9.3 today, that's the 3rd FBG below 10 this week. Holiday seems to have helped. Starting Mounjaro next week so maybe double figures will become a distant memory...
