What are you going to do when you are 60 and can no longer use your facial muscles due to muscle atrophy?

What's OP gonna do when she's 50 and her nose has grown a foot long from all the lies she tells

Expect she is also losing work through the WLI. Hence her entrapment attempt to sabotage a fantastic treatment for millions.

Thank goodness no one will take any notice of her!

OP, if you sent them a photo, they must think you look overweight. Sorry. Maybe it's the way you carry the weight, rather than the BMI?

This is possible. Especially for short women.
Im 5' and at 9st 3 I was only a bit overweight but looked quite big in photos mostly in the face and waist.

I lied about nothing!
Kind of the point.

Hang on, so you weren't asked why you wanted the jabs? You weren't asked any questions about previous attempts to lose weight? If that's true (which I strongly doubt) then yes, of course you should report the provider for not following the required process.

I think the toxins you have been injecting into your face have gone to your brain. 😬

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.

Your BMI is in the overweight category though, so I'm not sure what is so corrupt - how would they know that you aren't buying the jabs in good faith? You say your weight is muscle mass but how would they know that? Why are you trying to bring the WLI industry down, just live and let live would you?

FreshInks · 11/03/2026 20:31

She knows she can’t bring down the WLI industry.

Her real issue seems to be with people who use WLI, and this is a rather nasty attempt to stir up fear while taking a swipe at those users.

Do you not have a life?

Me?

This is just weird.
My cardiologist was really happy I had used the jabs

YerMotherWasAHamster · 11/03/2026 20:55

Tbh fair enough if you were able to get the jabs when you have been honest about your weight and according to guidelines should not be prescribed it at that weight then that should be reported.

cantthinkofagoodusername1 · 11/03/2026 20:57

I think you are being really nasty and vindictive. What’s it to you how other people lose weight? I don’t see an issue with losing weight to go from a BMI at the top of the healthy range to a BMI at the lower end. Lots of people use the jabs alongside strength training. Leave them alone.

Bollixtothat · 11/03/2026 21:02

You are slightly overweight but not enough to need weight loss medication. Why did you apply ?

Feck me. This is exactly my point and the.problem.

Nobody. Because it’s all rubbish.

Why are you asking with such surprise when the whole purpose of your thread is that you’ve supposedly bamboozled a prescriber for prescribing you it with a healthy BMI?

Ozgirl76 · 11/03/2026 21:14

What an odd thing to be worrying about. I suggest you get a hobby or concern yourself with real problems rather than going looking for them.

You probably look a bit overweight (I’m 5ft2 as well, and around 7stone 10 and even I can still look mildly chubby from the wrong angle and with the wrong outfit and I would definitely be too big at 9 stone) but don’t let it define you if you’re happy as you are.

FreshInks · 11/03/2026 21:16

I notice OP continues to avoid answering questions about the Botox she has every 6 months and how that makes her a hypocrite

Im not shocked that is the point! You can do it and its clearly a thing.
Ive just found a site where women and girls are 6 and 7 stone and are trading these jabs to each other! It is an outrage!

“Who the heck is your prescriber” sounds pretty shocked to me, you’re not staying very consistent in this thread.

What that got to do with your allegations of mis-prescribing?

Shall we stop your Botox because of the instances where people became very unwell after buying it from dodgy sources?
