Mum: Did you hear about Mounjaro this morning on the radio? Me: Nope. What about it? Mum: It's not to be used if you're on oral contraceptives Me: I'm not on oral contraceptives Mum: What are you using then? Me: The rhythm method Mum: Oh God, that's even worse!

The weight loss is going well, but I’ll really know I’ve succeeded when I need to redo my FaceID.

I called my friend Charlie Brooker, and told him what was happening: 'I'm locked in a BBC radio studio and am going to die!' He was very calm and said, 'You're not going to die. The BBC is the safest place in the world. Calm down. Slow your breathing.' arianesherine.substack.com/p/calling-th...

Day 18 on the weight loss injection Mounjaro: A massive drop! Total loss: 5.35kg Start weight: 84.8kg Today’s weight: 79.45kg Unsurprising given I only ate 700 calories yesterday due to nausea. Feeling much better today. So pleased to be down into the 70kgs! A big milestone.

Day 17 on the weight loss injection Mounjaro: Total loss: 4.5kg Start weight: 84.8kg Today’s weight: 80.3kg Sorry for the delay in updating. Very sick today - have been since Sunday’s jab. Not going to take it this Sunday if I’m still nauseous, though it’ll probably wear off.

I won this time, he might well win next time. Either way, I hope we’ll still be playing chess together when we’re old.

Day 16 on the weight loss injection Mounjaro: Total loss: 4.3kg Start weight: 84.8kg Today’s weight: 80.5kg Sorry for the delay in updating. I’ve been intermittently nauseous since my Mounjaro jab on Sunday night but soda water really helps (or any fizzy drink actually!)

Day 15 on the weight loss injection Mounjaro: Total loss: 3.9kg Start weight: 84.8kg Today’s weight: 80.9kg Ate a seven-course meal at Hakkasan (below) so wouldn’t be surprised if my weight bounces up again tomorrow, but at least it’s got my body away from thinking its set point is 80.3kg!

For letter H in the A-Z of dating, my hot handsome hunk @juniperific.bsky.social and I went for haute cuisine at Hakkasan and then to a hotel (though not a Hyatt or a Hilton) for some hedonism! It was heavenly.

Day 14 on the weight loss injection Mounjaro: Total loss: 4.5kg Start weight: 84.8kg Today’s weight: 80.3kg A proper plateau! But it’s June, I’m in a pretty size 16 dress, and am off on date night for a seven-course brunch. It’ll be interesting to see how my weight responds.

Day 13 on the weight loss injection Mounjaro: Total loss: 4.5kg Start weight: 84.8kg Today’s weight: 80.3kg I’ve hit a plateau, but am looking forward to date night with the world’s sexiest man tomorrow. We’re off for a fancy seven-course brunch, so that should definitely shake things up a bit.

Day 12 on the weight loss injection Mounjaro: Total loss: 4.6kg Start weight: 84.8kg Today’s weight: 80.2kg I’ve lost 1.2kg in the past week, which is a normal rate of weight loss. Date night is coming up on Sunday though, so I’ll enjoy a meal and see how that affects things.

Boyfriend: Do you mind if I go on a work trip to Frankfurt? Me: Not unless you fall in love with a hot frankfurter. That would be the wurst.

Many thanks if you’re a humanist, atheist, skeptic or rationalist (or indeed, all four!) who just followed me from the humanist starter pack. If you’re thinking, ‘Who the hell is this Ariane woman?!’, this was me back in the day.

Here you go: an absolute beast of a starter pack, with many of the UK's most prominent humanists on it. Includes scientists, historians, philosophers, public figures, the New Humanist editorial team and Humanists UK staff. A network for reason and decency. go.bsky.app/PTC4j2d

No spoilers, but today's Wordle nearly destroyed my 185-strong streak. I got it in six. It was a stinker.

Day 11 of Mounjaro: I have lost zip, zilch, nada! But that's fine. 5.3% of my body weight has vanished in 11 days, and a little plateau will allow my skin to catch up and not become loose and saggy, hopefully. Lifting weights now. Total loss: 4.5kg Start: 84.8kg Now: 80.3kg

This made me laugh, as I suspect it's the attitude of many of my followers to my weight loss posts!

Day 10 of Mounjaro: Feeling sick as the jab was at full strength, but it was bearable. Total loss: 4.5kg Start: 84.8kg Now: 80.3kg That's a whopping 5.3% of my body weight gone in ten days! I'm looking to lose another 25% and weigh around 60kg. It all feels very achievable now.

Day 9 of Mounjaro: Feeling a little nauseous again as Jab 2 takes effect. Also cold hands and feet. Nothing major though. Total loss: 3.85kg Start: 84.8kg Now: 80.95kg 4.54% of my body weight gone in nine days. Just need to keep on going, which is easy on this wonder drug.

Day 6 of Mounjaro: Exactly the same weight. Total loss: 3.4kg Start: 84.8kg Now: 81.4kg But that’s still over 4% of my total body weight gone since Sunday. I think my body’s catching up. I seem to have much more energy too.
