Jabs to lose 1.5 stone?

I am sick 2-3 days a week too, just nausea fortunately not actual vomiting, but it’s not nice. I have 850-1000 calories but my one vice is Coca Cola, I have 2 cans a day so this is 258 of the calories gone.

I’m down 3 stone in just under 3 months. Still obese but getting there. Good job on your loss too 🥳

I can relate to her. I feel gross at 11st 3lb and struggle to think I was once 14st 2lb!

Of course she will qualify, she is overweight? Her BMI is 27.

Save £2000? That is 10 months worth of jabs, not 10 weeks. It would take 2 jabs (with golden dose) to cover 10 weeks so is only £400.

It really seems to be to be fair.
These threads about these drugs is consistently full of people saying that they had zero side effects & that stones dropped off them with no effort at all. I am super envious of these folk.

I am surviving on 700-900 cals a day & tracking every single morsel, carefully tracking nutrition, fibre, protein, fats etc. 3 litres of water, zero alcohol, zero UP foods.
feeling nauseated constantly for 3 days after each jag, heavy headache, feeling very unwell.

This can be intolerable as I am never ever unwell. I take it on a Friday evening so i feel like death over the weekend and not on work days. I dread every jag day, knowing what’s to come.

In 11 months I’ve lost 2.5 stone but I’ve lost zero in the last 9 weeks… even continuing to do the work. It’s shit.

Indeed. I’m sure she’s never thought about “adjusting her diet”. Groundbreaking stuff.

OP hasn't ask for alternatives to losing weight. She is specifically asking about the jabs and anyone's experience.

When I went over 25 BMI recently, I felt I have a stone to lose and I lost it in 12 weeks by not snacking, being conscious of what I’m eating, drinking lots of water, and doing 40 minutes of grow with Jo exercises 5 days a week.
I’m not saying it’s easy but you can try it.
If money is not an object though, I’m seeing lots of adverts of companies like Voy, Bolt, etc saying they’ll prescribe the jab for BMI of 25 and above so you’ll definitely qualify without lying. They even have the pills now too.
I thought about it too but decided to give it a go first and I’m now in a healthy range.

oh this old chestnut again. WLI work in multiple ways such as balancing blood sugar and reducing inflamation. There are many people for whom 'oh just eat less' does not work.

Have you tried adjusting your diet? If not. I’d try that first. I’ve lost 6 stone that way. (more veg, more lean protein, more nuts, seed and olive oil, less red meat, far fewer carbs, far fewer sweet treats.) I do not exercise.

Exercise will help MH more

You can lie easily and get them online. I did to lose the last of my baby weight and went from a large size 8 to a size 4. Came off them after a few months and settled as a 6 (5"4).

Indigestion is what worries me. Did you take anything for it?

I lost nearly a stone on Mounjaro which I did for a month. I did have bad indigestion etc but tbf, it’s totally changed my eating habits and I’m much healthier now. I would do it again if it crept back on.

Poor you, that’s quite unusual I’d say, but some people don’t react well with the drugs, you must be one.💐

I think you just need to look at the monthly threads on here or Reddit to know that’s highly unusual and certainly was not my experience, I’ve had no side effects, neither does my husband, like 80 percent of people.

so either you made that up, don’t really know anyone on it, or have an unusual cluster of reactions in your friendship group,

If you have had mental health issues then I think you need to think seriously about whether they are right for you. It doesn’t happen to everyone but I found that I felt very low the day after the jab, my mood was very flat and over the months I felt my senses were dulled. Although slim I felt quite depressed. It probably won’t happen but for you but for a couple of stone you should consider this a possibility.

All very well saying try the conventional way. I've been calorie counting and doing tai chi and strength training. I've managed to lose a bit of weight but the belly fat won't shift. I've reached stalemate. Great if you're not middle aged. I can afford the jabs so I'm going for it. Best of luck @torquayturkey

Gosh, what a coincidence. I signed up last night with Voy. I'm doing Wevgovy to go from 12st to 10.5 St. I'm 5'5. Expecting my first package in the week. have been getting depressed with the monthly menopausal bloats and my stomach area in general. I'm a good size 12 but want my clothes to fit better and not have to keep breathing in. I'm also worried about side effects but hopefully it will be worth it. We might not even get them!

Edited - wegovy!

Because you must be PUNISHED for your lazy gluttony!!

Why can't lazy people buy the jabs? How does this affect you?

I'm lazy when it comes to food and wegovy has worked wonderfully for me. Once I'm at my ideal weight I'll stop and maintain my weight because I was never an over eater in the first place. Why does losing weight need to be a struggle?

That hasn't been my experience at all. I lost a stone in 2 months without changing my diet, it just reduced my appetite and stopped my chocolate cravings. I don't feel nauseous or have any other side effects. I think it's bloody amazing!

This isn't my experience at all. And as to coming off them - I'm slowly titrating down and monitoring my calories and weight. I've halved my dose so far. I'll keep going until I am confident I'm at my lowest maintenance dose and then will stay there indefinitely. If I manage to come off them completely then awesome. If not, I won't.

Na that’s daft, they’ve probably jumped up the doses too fast. I’ve just stayed on a low dose, I still experience hunger, I still really enjoy my food, I just don’t seem to eat out of boredom anymore or look to use food as a reward like I used to. I’m satiated faster so eating smaller portions.

I have been on WLI for almost 2 years now and never experienced anything like you describe. As for what happens when you start ‘eating properly’ - how odd, I have never eaten so ‘properly’ in my entire life as I have since starting WLI. I don’t intend to stop using a medication that has such a positive impact on my health though, that would be plain stupid.

I took manjaro for 3 weeks a couple of years ago, and I felt horrendous on them. I was re
ally unwell, nausea, feeling uncomfortably full, sulphur burps, stomach pains, and diarrhea the 3rd week. I've strarted the wegovy tablets, and so far have been fine so I am have ordered the injection, which I will do once I have finished the tablets. It's definitely helped with my sugar cravings. I've lost 6lb so far, and I'm 2 weeks in.
