If im 9.5 stone and classed as chubby at 5ft 2 have to laugh.
I do 100 squats and sit ups daily. My weight is muscle. I am an ex semi athlete.
I have been approved.

I did this to prove a point. The industry is CORRUPT.

It was reviewed last night.
It has been accepted!

Then report the prescribing doctor to the GMC.

No point just complaining here

Why are you getting annoyed at posters not understanding you? You’re not making the sense you think you are 🙄.

@Enyastar which online pharmacy?

From the list that I use, I can't find a pharmacy that charges £265 for Mounjaro or Wegovy, which makes me wonder what it is that the OP has signed up for. Especially if she hasn't had to provide even a photo as evidence of her weight.

What a weird thing to do.

What's next, sending your 17 year old to see if the corner shop will sell them alcohol?

That is actually illegal so different.

Maybe I'm unfashionable, but I wouldn't touch this stuff with a 10-foot pole unless I was seriously obese and the overweight risk outweighs what I fear are the health risks coming down the line from this weight loss method.

What do you think the health risks are? Diabetic people have been taking these meds for decades. Genuinely curious.

VelociraptorsVelociRapping · 11/03/2026 15:49

Please name the pharmacy or this thread is entirely pointless.

SunshineAndSandalsMakeMeHappy · 11/03/2026 15:48

Yes you can, Voy, Med Express and another few are prescribing them off label. Edited to add I was very surprised when I read that thread in Weightloss, but yes people are getting it at lower BMI’s now.

Yup according to AI it’s not illegal it’s just taken a dim view of. So I’m not sure why OP is getting so worked up.

So why did you apply for a prescription for something you don't need? Seems very odd.

Enyastar · 11/03/2026 15:24

Ive done and passed all stages..i just needed to give my card details.

That doesn’t mean anything. A friend of mine, who is not overweight but quite lazy, signed up and they took her money upfront but once she’d paid she didn’t pass their tests so they refunded her. She tried 2 or 3 places and they all did the same: take the money but then refuse. Once she’d paid she found she had to do pics and video herself getting on and of the scales etc. That’s when they said no.

She’s now following my advice of not being so bloody stupid!

DancingNotDrowning · 11/03/2026 15:48

Others have said it but I’ll be blunter: you’ve made this up.

no one is reviewing anything before you’ve paid for the services

Trusttheawesomeness · 11/03/2026 15:46

No. As has been explained to you already in my previous post.

People can only start the jabs is obese. They can then stay on them for maintenance once at a healthy weight. But they must prove their previous use to show they were obese and have been on the jabs to lose weight and then maintain.

You cannot get a prescription for them if you are starting at a healthy BMI.

Ive just told sn online practioner my BMI is 24.4..im 5ft 2 and weigh 9st 7 amd i want to lose 2 stone.
Gone through online consult and for £265 i can start my jabs.
Fuck me........

There's no way they will send you these drugs if they are reputable. They will take your money and then review the case and reject you and refund the money.

It took me a few goes to get a prescription because despite having a BMI of 30 my video didn't demonstrate me in my full obese glory to their satisfaction..

But more to the question, why are you letting hundreds of pounds go out of your account to prove a point?

Incorrect. They'll get their paws on your money (you will need to check a box saying you understand these drugs are only for obese people and they may need to second check it etc) and never prescribe anything and you have to chase for a refund.

35965a · 11/03/2026 15:47

What provider is it? I’ve lost 5 stone on mounjaro and I’m worried about accessing the jabs when I’m a healthy BMI which isn’t far off! So it would be good to know.

SunshineAndSandalsMakeMeHappy · 11/03/2026 15:47

There’s a thread in weightloss where people are getting the jabs from various prescribers at a lower BMI.

Avantiagain · 11/03/2026 15:46

And it isn't 265 for the first jab. You are making shit up.

notnorman · 11/03/2026 15:46

Everlil · 11/03/2026 15:34

Please tell us the pharmacy so people can boycott it. I’ve never heard of a pharmacy to do this, we can help you report them.

You have to pay.

then they review it.

look at your photos

then you get refunded if they can’t prescribe.

Catcatcatcatcat · 11/03/2026 15:46

Why are you furious? I don’t understand.

Trusttheawesomeness · 11/03/2026 15:46

Firtreefiona · 11/03/2026 15:43

Is it illegal to prescribe private weight loss jabs to those who are a normal range and want to lose weight to a normal range? Do these companies stop the prescription the minute someone hits a BMI of 24.99?

Show us the confirmation as proof then OP?

PrincessPig · 11/03/2026 15:45

She doesn't want to use them at all I don't think. She was just testing the pharmacy apparently
