Thanks for the new thread. It's Friday jab and weigh-in day!!

Jab 4 of 2.5mg so three weeks in so far.

SW. 16st 12lb
W.1 -3lb
W.2 -2lb
W.3 -2lb
CW. 16st 5lb. Total loss 7lb

I'm so pleased, loss of half a stone in 3 weeks, I've had minimal suppression but I've felt full very quickly and left food on my plate, which is a first in 60 yes or so!! I've ordered my 5mg pen. I haven't decided whether to do the bonus dose yet.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2024 15:19

Lots of us on a Friday. I've always weighed on a Friday when dieting as if had a takeaway etx then 4 days to reign it back

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2024 15:22

I've just started 10mg. I'm still struggling with feelings of nausea and the insomnia is a killer. I'm 2 stone down which seems so slow. I've another 2/2.5 stone to go but not sure if I can afford to keep going or the tiredness

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2024 15:45

@TwoHoots74 ikwym with the tiredness and nausea - I'm the same and also why I jab Fri so not working at the weekend /next 2 nights

2 stone is a great loss. Well done

Tho why are you on 10mg - we are all either about to start 5 or heading up to it as started in sun so all on 2.5

or did you start before aug - obv you are welcome on this thread regardless 🙂

Found you, thank you for starting a new thread

Checkthemeaning · 30/08/2024 15:59

I just did my bonus dose of the 2.5mg pen today but can't work out if it's worked or not 🤣

I've lost 7lb in total & need to lose another stone. The 5mg is sat in my fridge.

troppibambini6 · 30/08/2024 16:03

Hi I was on the earlier thread but dropped off a bit.
I've just done my first 5mg.

I'm in week five and three of those have been on holiday. I'm 6lbs down which I'm delighted with especially due to hols. Now I feel like I'm going to get my head right down and shift so weight before Xmas.

Didn't really have any side effects from sceptics for mild nausea. Although.i haven't been sleeping brilliantly I didn't realise this could be down to the mounjaro!
I've had some appetite suppression but not loads.

Really hoping this higher dose isn't going floor me.

TheShellBeach · 30/08/2024 16:10

DS has just been approved for his first pen.
I recommended Voy to him, and discovered that they've suddenly dropped their prices.
He was automatically given a good discount and his next pen will cost the same.

Perhaps they've realised that other pharmacies are selling MJ more cheaply, and they're losing customers.

Willowy1982 · 30/08/2024 16:53

So a bit of a strange one....maybe. I'm on injection number 2 of 2.5mg. I've found food noise has completely stopped or significantly reduced....but also....ALL noise! I'm a creative person and frequently have inspiration throughout the day to write etc but since starting the injections...nothing!!! I also have no depression, anxiety, over thinking etc. Now as someone who has suffered with depression, anxiety and probably undiagnosed ADHD my whole life, this is a welcome break...but also very quiet in there! 🙈 Anyone else?

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2024 17:04

That sounds fab @Willowy1982 I don't suffer from depression but know many who do so if this helps you nature demons as well it's a win win x

I've had the exact same. Nearly all chatter has gone I'm doing second 2.5 today.

HereIfYouNeedMe · 30/08/2024 17:44

Joining the thread if that's okay

Week 1 -5lbs
Week 2 -4lbs
Week 3 (today) -2.5lbs

5mg next week!
11.5lbs loss in total. I've had trouble sleeping too which is unheard of for me. I hope it settles down 😴

Glad it's not just me!! It's very strange though. My whole brain has gone on holiday. 😅

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2024 18:04

Welcome @HereIfYouNeedMe

You don't get the tiredness then. I can't wait for bed most nights

NippyCrab · 30/08/2024 18:09

Thanks for the new thread 😊
I'm not feeling good at all but it's not MJ related so I'm in bed. Hopefully I'll perk up tomorrow for jag number 5 of 2.5mg.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2024 18:09

Got a lovely email reply from med express saying so sorry I had issues with the pen jabbing /releasing but glad I got there in the end and £20 discount off next pen for inconvenience

Which was nice

They also said if any hassles with 4th dose next week to let them know

How much are Voy charging now?

GoodLuckBabe · 30/08/2024 18:17

hi all, I had an email from Voy offering 44% off treatments for a short period. Anyone else? Bit disappointed as seems to just be for the 2.5mg starter dose ☹️ and I am interested in a 5mg pen..
