Just being nosy, but how long did it take you to lose a stone?

[TodayandThursday]

I've just lost my first stone. It's taken 5 weeks.

I started at 12 stone 4lbs and am now 11 stone 4. I'm 5 foot 5 and 59.

I still eat too much chocolate, sadly the urge to stuff it all in hasn't disappeared yet.

I was a month on the low dose which I took about every 5 days as it don't seem to kick in much after a couple of days.

I also took a double dose on week 4. I'm now on 5mg but it seems to stop working after about day 4.

I'm pleased with losing a stone (of course) and I only have another 1stone 7 to lose.

But I'd love to hear how long it's taken everyone else.

Do you think your age (post menopausal) and how overweight you are in the first place make much difference on the speed you lose?

Yes private. I got a code off here so it was about £113 for the month. One of friends used my code so again got £40 off for this month.

I think the last one and half stone will be the hardest so can't wait to move up a dose. Just wish the chocolate craving would disappear completely!!

I think she means: How did you get it prescribed when you were well under BMI of 30?

Ah sorry misunderstood My BMI was 28.5 and my pictures showed I looked very overweight.

Are you in one of the groups of people who can be prescribed it at a BMI of 27?

This is all so encouraging! I started mine yesterday after delaying it for weeks over a year that the needle would hurt! Great work everyone xx

5lbs off today… so a stone and a half in 4 weeks 🤩 got my review with the pharmacist today. Unsure if they’ll keep me on 2.5 or move me up x

About a ,inth same height as you was 18 stone to start with,
