Hi Marcea, I personally love the long vlogs. I usually watch them in the morning while I’m getting ready for work; they give me morning motivation and for the rest of the day I feel 💪🏼 and like we’re in this together 💜 so thank you and keep them long lol. Px
Love the 🍂 jumper. How about giving the breakfast bars to Glen 😅 he can have them as a snack. I know that feeling landlord told me once they'll come with plumber at 5pm and came at 7pm! Outrageous ❤
Thanks for the vlog, I’ve been following your journey. I don’t comment very often but just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experience with us, and that you are looking fab!
Marcea!!! You are such an entertainer bringing loads of inspiration!!! Would you please add in some self-care instruction with activities, products, etc?? Thanks!!
When I was doing slimming world ,I used to crumble up the hi fi bars in with my greek yogurt and fruit . I’ve had to buy tortilla wraps today after watching your blog yesterday lol they just looked so delicious.
Hifi bars are so much better than these ones lol. I really wanted it to be nice …. At least I tried hehe. OMG the wrap was so good … hope you enjoy yours my darling xxx
@ it was lovely,I had grilled bacon ,chestnut mushrooms and scrambled egg in it , will try salad and chicken tomorrow. I like things that are quick and easy to make . The skinny crunch bars are great for a snack or crumbled in yogurt with fruit . The millionaires shortbread skinny crunch is my favourite,closely followed by the mint chocolate one .
@@jayneyeomans5522 me too! Lucky for me my hubby had bought some for his lunch box so I was able to make one up just like Marcea’s except I substituted sweet red pepper for the tomato. It was so yummy 😋
Hi Marcia, your jumper does look lovely. Noticed the size was small 😊. It looks like a chenille knit and they are so comfy. I love the bagel meal, I have them and I enjoy them so much. Take care, kind regards Angeline ❤️ xx
I'm with you on the poor punctuality. Mobile hairdresser was 30 minutes late after messaging saying she'd be 10 minutes late. It was for my boys and it really annoyed me that she was so late. 1st time using as well not good... Nature valley protein bars are delicious by the way x
So annoying. I’m not a massive fan of them I don’t think. I’m sure I’ve tried them in the pet but might be mistaken … Thankyou for the recommendation though anyway xxx
Glen picked a lovely jumper for you, and I think as the orange bit is further down the stripes it works really well 👕(You'll have to imagine long sleeves because nobody seems to have invented a jumper emoji 🙄) I am not a fan of the fibre bars either 🤢 Apparently though pinto beans are good in both protien and fibre with around 13g of fibre per 100g cooked, so I'm off to get some tomorrow when I go to Tesco 😉 xx
at 125 calories for the bar, I would have piicked it all out again! I got my first pen after I saw your videos, 4 days in and I finally fancy eating something solid
Nah better to eat it … 150 cals without it is just too low for a meal. It’s really important to eat enough to protect your metabolic health. Glad you have an appetite now … xxx
I started my mounjaro this week im really struggling already and only on 2.5! I managed to force some breakfast down this morning but im just not hungry at all the idea of eating anything makes me feel sick.. did you find you jad to force yourself to eat at first? Youre doing amazing and jumper is lovely
Hi there. It can be so hard at first. Try and get calories in where you can and protein too if possible. I started taking a multivitamin too just to make sure I wasn’t missing out on those. Stay hydrated most importantly. I don’t know if you’ve seen my first 4 week video - I talk through my first month. It may be helpful. I’ve learnt to try and eat at mealtimes even if I don’t think I’m hungry. Good luck sweetie … it will get better. Don’t move up dose until you can eat better. I would advise you to track calories too to try and make sure you are eating enough xx
2.5 is the dose all start on to get the body used to the medication and the appetite supression is almost immediate for most people (day 1 or 2). Protein shakes are a great way of getting both protein and fluid into your body when you really struggle - though I still like them for an easy or portable breakfast regardless! Great advice as always from Marcea: eat quality rather than quantity if you are struggling initially to avoid get used to not eating.
Hiya - i dont know if you're aware or not but 5 a day or 400g F&V provides the minimum daily fibre requirements its the reaaon why the rule was invented. 30 plant based a week is actually better due to the variety & benefits different f&v provides Those bars are not really a good source of fibre & ur best off making ur own flapjacks & they freeze really well. Im finding the same as u a lot of processed foods that have 'protein fibre gluten plant based' splashed all over usually taste like crap & never repeat purchases. A comment - give them to Glen made me laugh. I try to do this with my sis but she has none of it. Its hard binning it esp when food is expensive. I eat out of date stuff all the time & keep a bit back in case i drop dead😆🤣😂 Im a child of 70's & use my nose. Its only fresh stuff i buy for a recipe like creme fresh the sizes in shops are way too much My fave 30g protein go to is cheese & ham toastie & maybe some peanuts. Savory for Breakfast when i can is my new change for 25 i started this last year did it over Christmas. 1st proper weigh in 4lb off roughly tracking protein & fibre 16-18 hr fast & 2 meals a day🥳🙌🏾😊 The jumper looks good on u very autumnal. I love ur stripes & the hubster did good👌🏾🧡🤎🤍🍑
Hi seeetie … the fibre content does deplete though once cooked so 5 a day is flawed and needs to be more like 7-9 which most people would certainly struggle with. All we can do is our best I suppose isn’t it. Ha I grew up in the 70s too but don’t eat many things past their date. I don’t mind best before but if it says yes Bethan we really should take heed hehe. I always sniff milk …. I have a keen nose. Hope you have a lovely weekend …. It’s still so frosty here. It does look beautiful though. I’m getting used to the new shades for me … the sweater is super comfy. Well done on your weightloss hun … that’s fab. Thanks as always for taking the time to comment … I love reading them xxx
@ladymawa i work on 100g of raw veg per person for cooking & know it should be 7+ thats why i find 30 plant based more achievable. Saying that my best has been 24. I do a chart & tick them off as i only eat f&v due to health benefits otherwise i wouldn't bother much. Some some meals like my toastie i dont want friggin veg end of. Just catching up on a few more vlogs then its back to life b4 Christmas "life admin" 🤗
Hello from the northeast US. I’m (a guy) on the pen for type 2 👀………. It been cold and some more cold here. Very windy, some snow, and very cold. The last few nights at the house here has been in the negative at night 🥶🥶🥶.
Hello there …. Hope all is going well with your journey. We are hopefully coming to the end of our current cold snap - we’ve had such heavy frosts. Stay cosy!! Xx
My concern is, not able to eat. I’m eating but….. concerned about NOT getting enough of my fruits and vegetables per day. I used to eat one medium size apple, for example, but now, can only eat half. Another thing, I sleep for 6 hours and wide awake with energy but…….. get sleepy early in the evening …. 6 ish. I usually sleep from 2am to 10 am.
GLP1s obviously work by reducing your appetite, slowing gastric emptying etc amongst other things so it is to be expected that you are going to consume less. You need to then consider what you are eating. Calorie wise there is very lithe difference between an appreciate and half an apple but I do fully august your concern. Focus on protein and fibre. I take a multivitamin every day since starting my journey. I manage to eat a good amount of calories and eat a fairly sell balanced diet. You are getting a good 8 hours sleep so that’s pretty impressive. I do think things settle a bit after a few months. All I can say is see how it goes and if you have any ongoing concerns speak with your provider xxx

We are definitely in this together!!! Glad to keep you company in the mornings xxx

They are actually just dreadful. There is only one left I think so it will stay in the cupboard for now lol ♥️
@@ladymawalol
Hi Marcea I certainly don’t mind the length of your vlogs 😊 I put them on when I’m at work and find them to be motivational so thank you xx
Thankyou for this feedback - that’s good to know. Glad I can keep you company xxx
