On 25th October I weighed 11 stone 7 pounds.
I stayed that same weight for weeks. Wouldn't budge.
Then eventually a month later I went down to 11 stone 6 pounds.
Then magically last week I dropped to 11 stone 3 pounds.
Hooray! I thought. The looooong plateau has gone. I'd dropped 4 pounds.
Got back on scales today and I weigh 11stone 6.5 pounds.
So in 6 bloody weeks I've lost a grand total of 0.5 pounds.
This is on 15mg mounjaro and 1,200 cals a day.
I weigh myself once a week, no more.
I track my calories carefully.
No I'm not an idiot who vastly overeats more calories than I think I'm eating. (This seems to get trotted out a lot on MN).
I am SO SO SO pissed off.
0.5 pounds on 15mg MJ in SIX WEEKS!!!!!
Humph.😡

Is this a serious post?! A complete stranger telling a professional what they’d expect their CPd to be?! Bloody hell 😭😭

It is estimated that 1 in 20 UK adults are currently using WLI. It shouldn't need a stranger on the internet to tell a GP to do some CPD on it, because they should have already done it!

Well then you going to think I'm equally arrogant for saying that i get exasperated with female GPs in their 30s who aren't shit hot on the menopause and HRT, you'd think they'd prioritise their learning time on it as it will be them in a decade or two (or less if they are unlucky).

Maybe they’re too busy looking after all the heart disease and inserting coils and training new GPs and high blood pressure and diabetes ECT ECT although I’m sure if you were a GP you would be perfectly organised and times rich, easily able to prioritise whatever personally impacts you the most

The 50 hours is separate to clinical duties and a non negotiable part of being a health professional.

Well that is an interesting insight into the thinking of gps about their relationship patients.
As for charging you probably can’t because patients have no control over them being sent out. I really don’t care if my gp is told because they know less about the jabs than I do.
The fact gps would want to make it harder for patients to get healthy is astounding. But it says a lot about them:

It isn't a GP proposal re charging for the admin involved, not at all. It is a business proposal being made by non-clinical staff at my practice.
