“Sports journalist” hmm.

@EnyastarWhat are these “local health authorities” of which you speak, and why would a “primary care provider” care about what an online pharmacy does??

I've just had my online consultation.
Yes i passed the threshold.
My jabs are 'in the post'.

Am i a sports journalist...yes i am.
Am i sending the video footage to both my local health authoriries and primary care provides..yes i am.
Do i hope this reaches national news outlets..o yes.

At the prescription s the age they will ask for photos and refuse you

Spending £265 of your own money just to be outraged on Mumsnet seems a bit... odd.

Do you actually want them or were you testing them to see how ethical they were about who they prescribe to?

That’s what I assumed

You work in the 'health industry'

Do you mean you are a Slimming World leader or something, and your numbers are falling? I expect so

Anyone who works in actual healthcare is thrilled with WLI, the most transformative health intervention in years

I was thinking exactly the same thing 😂

Damn that’s annoying, I had to lie my ass off and I could have just been honest 😂

I don't understand why you are so shocked that some corrupt people will capitalise and piggyback onto anything that will make them money!?

You don't know what's actually in the jabs, the criminals running it won't give a fuck whether you're overweight or not, or if whatever they're selling you is real or kills you!

Get real OP, they just want your money so they'll tell you anything to get it.

BelleEpoque27 · 11/03/2026 16:46

Which provider, OP? One of the regulated ones? Or off the back of a lorry?

This is a very silly thread - you sound quite thick, tbh. GLP1 medication has its place for people who struggle with their weight, which you clearly do not. If people mis-use the medication, that is not different to people mis-using other prescription medication like painkillers or sleeping pills.

Hmm.
”work in the health industry”
Suitably vague. Are you a pt or wellness person of some sort?
You certainly don’t sound like an actual medic to me.
I’m sure Eli Lily and Novo Nordisk are trembling in their boots.

OP I think others are misunderstanding your first post.
FWIW I completely agree with you, these jabs are being abused now - half of Hollywood is wandering around anorexic. Oprah Winfry looks like a hip might snap at any second.

No. I understand perfectly. Op does not understand that prescribers take money then do the final checks to approve if they are registered pharmacies. There are published and very clear prescribing guidelines. US celebrities are completely irrelevant to prescribing practices in the uk.

I think people completely understand the first post, but either don't believe the OP is genuine, or think that the OP has misunderstood how the online pharmacies work, and are trying to explain that to her.

Why is Hollywood and Oprah Winfrey relevant? They aren't getting WLI from UK online pharmacies under UK rules and regulations. Totally different system in the US, clearly.

I suspect OP hates to see fat people “cheating”. We are morally bankrupt and deserve to suffer for our greed. Meanwhile, I just fit into a lovely pair of size 12 jeans for the first time in 20 years.

Boomer55 · 11/03/2026 16:40

Every industry, including health, has those happily making money, regardless of morals.

With beauty, we’ve had butt lifts that have ended in chaos, Botox that’s gone wrong, lip treatments that have ended up with a trout pout etc etc

But adults are grown ups, and need to do their own research.

Fat jabs may or may not be good, in time, but people need to take their own risks.

Your thread won’t change a thing. 🤷‍♀️

What is the point of all this "Wow, wow, just Wow" OP? None of this is that amazing really, is it?

Have you sent them photos? BMI 24.9 is borderline overweight. It's not as if they're prescribing them to you with a BMI of 20. You do realise you don't actually have to buy these jabs? 😁Why did you apply if you don't want them? I'm 5 ft 7 and weigh 9 st 7 also and I'm not exactly skinny. Prob I could go on them if I wanted, just for a month or whatever. Why the outrage?

Why do you feel that way OP?

I take 'fat jabs' because at 51 and menopausal it stablises my mood, cured my joint pains, stopped my migraines and gives me loads of energy. (Can't take HRT.)

Personally I'd pump it into the water if I could.

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

I don’t believe this , as any company I’ve dealt with and there have been plenty ( been on MJ 18 months ) have always taken payment upfront and then refunded
if meds are not approved & prescribed .
Care to name the company OP? Otherwise I call bullshit!

MrsArcher23 · 11/03/2026 16:35

why won’t you answer what pharmacy you’ve used? And if they are really charging that much for a starter dose, you should have tried elsewhere!

Nanda66 · 11/03/2026 16:32

Unless you name the pharmacy I don’t believe you.

OhWise1 · 11/03/2026 16:31

LittleMonks11 · 11/03/2026 15:58

OP is afraid of litigation I suspect and won’t name the company.

she's bullshitting!!
she didnt understand that pharmacies don't review and prescribe until they get your payment, and now instead of admitting she was wrong and potentially looking silly, she's doubling down.
Why would she care about get sued if what she was saying is the truth?

@PuzzledObserver

"... someone who wants to go from (BMI) 25 to 30 ...".

How many people do you know who want to do that?! 😉🤣

Indeed. And I can’t think of a much cheaper and more pleasurable way to put the weight on than injections!
