Hi all, I ordered from Voy and it was delivered yesterday. I'm waiting to start first injection tomorrow morning as wfh then have the weekend with no plans in case I get all the side effects.
I've got a lot to lose, around 100lbs but it's comforting to see some of you have the same to lose too. Going to set myself small goals though. I go on holiday mid July so would be great to be down a stone by then.
I also have a coaching session tomorrow so will let you know how that goes.

Here we go! Good luck everyone :)

How are you 24 hours on? I did my first at about 3 today and am fine... went cold for an hour but that could have happened anyway🙃

Felt fine most of the day.
Feel a bit achy and tired now and the glands in the back of my head/neck are sore. Not the side effects I was expecting so don't know if related to this or if I'm coming down with something.
No stomach issues so far and not noticed any appetite suppression yet. But I have eaten healthily today as a start. I've made a conscious effort to drink more water and upped my protein intake.
Let's see what tomorrow brings!

I've not told dp yet as I'm not sure how he'll feel about it. He's slim so thinks it's as easy as just eating less, he has no understanding of the struggle.
I'll have to confess soon as it's in the fridge so he's bound to spot it as the food levels go down. 😆 It's well hidden at the moment.

I started on the 2.5 pen last Sunday night and I've already lose 3lbs as of this morning. I am still eating fairly normally but but my cravings for cola, chocolate and other junk is just gone. My basic diet was fine actually and I am not planning to restrict severely unless I hit a major plateau but I have immediately been able to stop with my daily cola, chocolate bar and crisp habit which I previously found impossible to do! I Just do my main meals and maybe something like an apple or an oatcake if I need a snack and that is it. I am still feeling hungry as it gets to a mealtime but its been so easy to think lunch is only in 30 minutes I'll just wait until then, it doesn't seem like much but it is a literally miracle to me!

Taken my first dose this evening 😊. Injection site getting a bit achy but nothing terrible so far.

Hey all :)
Started my first injection this evening too

It's so nice to be with other new starters :) I won't be sharing this with anyone in my
Life so grateful for this :)

I had my first injection yesterday. Very easy to inject, couldn't feel it. No side effects yet, bit of a headache initially but that could be a coincidence.

Busy morning so skipped breakfast. Had lunch at midday, felt full and satisfied which is unusual but not sure if it's placebo effect so soon. Snacked on cherry tomatoes and had a big salad bowl for dinner. My eating has been terrible for years so this is much healthier for me. I can eat several packs of crisps per day on top of my meals usually.

I used to eat very healthily so really want to get that back. I've haven't enjoyed eating healthy foods for a long time but today was nice enjoying my old favourites.

Good luck everyone!

Best of luck!
commenting because I actually feel really jealous of you all - would be so keen to do it by my baby is BF and only 6 months old so I can’t take it at the moment.

Obv I could stop BF but it’s going so well and was hoping to get to a year. All I can think about is how much fatter I may get in the next 6m…

Appreciate this is a defeatist attitude and I need to start making healthy choices now to make it a long term lifestyle, but can’t help feeling jealous!

good luck everyone x

Day two and feeling a little queasy this morning. Glands in neck are still a bit sore and I have the horrid tasting mouth again that I had yesterday morning too.
Hoping the appetite suppression is on the way.

I took my first dose yesterday and definitely have that weird taste in my mouth
Haven't felt hungry at all today though I usually wake up and want some biscuits with my coffee
Of course it could be my mind thinking I don't want it but I'm hopeful it's the appetite suppressant kicking in

I'm definitely noticing it today.
Didn't eat all morning, had a small lunch and tried a small apple this afternoon but I was so full I couldn't finish it!
This is unheard of for me. I can eat endlessly usually.
Queasiness I had first thing didn't last and aches have gone too.
Looking forward to this continuing and buying smaller clothes soon!

Day 2 for me. I'm eating healthily but tbh honest that could well be the fact I've spent £150 to lose weight. I've never been one to go to the gym just because I am paying for a membership, but any junk food thought temptation today has quickly diminished when I think of the money I've spent

I'm having zero side effects so maybe it'll take some time to kick in.

Magic stuff. No side affects so far but definitely easier to just eat 3 meals a day iyswim. Amazed that this might be how slim people feel rather than the constant hungry.

Possibly a headache but it's annoying not awful .

Today 2 pieces gf toast
Individual pizza 3/4 plus the leftover baked chicken topping
Small kid box of raisin and apricot
Gf noodle pot

Did the first dose this morning but a couple hours later was feeling hungry, hadn’t eaten yet so had a boiled egg and slice of toast which I usually have with lashings of butter but the fear of that making me feel ill stopped me at just a smidge on the toast. Strange thing was, as I was eating I sort of felt indifferent, it wasn’t giving me the usual oh yum this is so tasty feeling, it was like okay this is food. Odd but not in a bad way. Filled me up and didn’t want lunch until 4pm.
I had leftover homemade chicken soup and again felt full and satisfied, but since then I feel like I have some heartburn coming on. I don’t know if it’s just psychological or the medication but I’m relieved it’s working to be honest.

Took my first dose this morning and couldn't finish a small bowl of vegetable rice this evening. All I'm craving is fruit - again, not sure if this is me forcing it subconsciously.

I also didn't even feel the needle go in so I'm scared I didn't do it right. I didn't even feel a pinprick

Hi everyone, my pen came this afternoon and I am so excited. I just wanted to know if anyone takes it at night and if they take it after a big dinner 🫣.

I was dithering about ordering it but I've lost 1st 10lbs since January just by eating better and exercising but it's slowed right down and I've realised I'm just constantly thinking about food. It takes over my life. I can't go anywhere without wondering when or how or what to eat... so figured this might be a great help to me. I also have my first ever run coming up at the end of the month and I've been training so hard. Would be amazing if I could lose a few more pounds before then to help me feel lighter on my feet.

I'm just trying to figure out the best day of the week to take it... does it suppress your appetite straight away? As we've just had dinner and I'm wondering if I can still take it tonight and if I do should I expect you to feel hungry again by next Friday...? Sorry might seem like a really obvious question but I looked in the box and it just said same day and time each week.. so trying to find the best day. If there even is one?

Very excited and can't wait to get started. Goodluck to everyone else on it too 😊

Day 2 here, injected yesterday morning after breakfast, found it easy to do, felt a bit groggy yesterday but that can happen on a Friday. Food wise I wouldn’t say that my appetite had gone and I still had some cravings but I didn’t succumb to them as I am not spending this much to give up on day 1.
Just woken up and feel the need for coffee, will also have a bowl of cereal as I want to get to a healthy eating plan asap.

I took my first injection yesterday. Definitely already having less cravings. I went to bed last night with a mild headache and have woken up with a much worse one. Hopefully this isn't a regular occurrence. Had very mild nausea but had anticipated worse so I'm pleased with that. Hoping to lose 3.5 stone. Good luck everyone.

Morning all :)
@Newme24 I started Thursday evening it was fine all night for me
I don't think it matters what time you take it I just thought if I were to get side effects I would rather them start when I wasn't at work or out and about in the day

Thanks for replying. I was going to do it last night and chickened out as we had a takeaway and didn't know if it would make a difference.

This morning I did it though 🥳 I took
It at 9ish and actually a Saturday will work quite well for me. Football season is over so less likely to have to leave super early and most my evenings out tend to be a Thursday or Friday night so if I have any unwanted symptoms I can hopefully deal with them at home over the weekend before work Monday. 🤞

When I go upstairs next after my coffee I will weigh myself 🫣 get that starting weight written down. Really hoping this is what works. I'm trying everything to not have bariatric surgery as I feel like it's too much of a whole life change for me right now although that option is very much still on the cards.

Goodluck everyone x

I've also taken my first one this morning! It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I injected into my stomach. Just a waiting game to see if I have any ill effects.

Signed up a few days ago, just waiting for approval. Scared, nervous, excited, embarrassed.....already a rollercoaster of emotion.

Ordered yesterday and just been delivered - going to inject before bed tonight as that’s when I take other meds

Got a 2.5mg and a 5mg deal from health express - used my quarters bonus from work

@vikingpooboat oh yay someone starting the same time. Have you felt anything yet? I've been drinking so much water as I suffer with headaches anyway and trying everything I can to not get one. Just had a protein bagel with soft cheese for lunch and a pepperami. I really hope this works 🤞 so far no symptoms yet. I've read a few people feel headaches & nausea the next day so we shall see...
