I'm wanting to move from Voy to Medexpress. It's asking me for a prescription. Is a screenshot of my previous order with Voy enough to send them? I don't have anything else. I've thrown away the packaging from my last order.

Happy Birthday @JasonTindallsTan 🥳
Birthdays are definitely days to just embrace the cake and Chinese. That's all part of a healthy approach to food

Thank you all!

Happy birthday, @JasonTindallsTan !

Happy birthday @JasonTindallsTan

@JasonTindallsTan Happy birthday!

Happy birthday @JasonTindallsTan

just ordered pen number 2 - 5mg. Current 2.5g is working well so far but reading on here, that’s likely to reduce and I’m only on week 2. Definitely not affected how I feel about alcohol but I’m not a massive drinker. Nice to still enjoy a gin and lemonade. But, I have completely stepped away from Pepsimax and don’t miss it.

I’ve had good losses so far (early days) but I’m eating totally differently - smaller portions and less carbs, fruit instead of a chocolate bar etc. need to up my exercise and stop just making a monthly donation to the local gym. Plan for next week!

Sorry I’ve only ordered from the desktop site not the app.

You can print a receipt go to accounts orders receipts.

@November2024 Thank you

@JasonTindallsTan
Happy birthday! Enjoy a guilt-free day as best you can!

@JasonTindallsTan Happy Birthday! Enjoy your chinese!🍻

I’d stick with just the website. I can’t see any obvious mentions of an app on their website so better to be safe.

Thank you for this. It took a couple of attempts but they're crediting me with £48.

My gifts of perimenopause, so far, have been a round apple stomach that I never have had in my life before, and weight that just won’t shift. Oh and terrible indigestion (in fairness, it was always much worse after scoffing half a pack of biscuits in the evening, which is clearly not going to benefit the aforementioned big stomach). Hope the new dose works well (with little or no side effects).

This is such a fabulous mindset shift! I need to accept that I can no longer eat the sugar or quantity of food I used to. I need to get back to exercising, because I am totally at the use it or lose it forever age, but I am currently so busy at work I can’t. However I have made changes so I am hoping the new year will see both less weight and more mobility!!

I'm nearing the end of my first week and starting to feel hungry again. But, honestly this has been a bloody revelation. Is this how normal people eat? I know so many people who find they are half a stone overweight, 'cut back' for a few weeks and lose it with ease. If they feel like MJ has made me feel, I kind of get it for the first time.

2lb a week is an amazing weight loss though - you’d be happy achieving it on a diet and exercise regime, wouldn’t you?

Usually it’s said that any more than 1lb a week is too fast and not sustainable. Obviously seems a little different on MJ…

We also know scales lie sometimes, eg water retention.

4th injection yesterday and it went perfectly…no leakage or blood like the last 2 weeks. Wow I feel like it’s worked better than week 1.

I nearly forgot to eat lunch today. Picked at tea and a lot went in the bin!

I was thinking about moving up but but if I got this feeling again, I wouldn’t need to!

This is how I've been feeling - craving vegetables and not even fussed with the chocolate/treats that's been in the staff room which normally I would be dipping into! Hoping the ability to resist sticks around 😂

Exactly the same for me to, for the first time I had rumbly tummy noises and felt hungry today, I am W1 D6 so its injection day tomorrow, and I can't bloomin wait !! My husband is one of those annoying cut back people 😡just looks at a lettuce leaf and loses 3lb. Many times this week I have thought to myself "why the heck did i wait this long to do this ?"

W4D1
SW 91.4 kg
CW 86.7kg
GW 70kg

weight is coming off, today I hit a bmi of 30 hoping the next week will bring me to just ‘overweight’ rather than ‘obese’ managing to stick to healthy habits of breakfast, no cheese toastie lunches and no snacking. Suppression isn’t what it was so think I’ll be ready for the 5mg next week

Yup! My second jab tomorrow too! We've got this.

@LindtCurves you're quite right, thank you. I have never stuck to a diet for 6 weeks before so MJ is a fantastic tool. It’ll be interesting to see if once we all come off MJ we no longer want to eat as much because we’re so used to eating less. Someone up thread said ‘this is the last time I’ll ever loose weight’ - I love that and find it a really exciting and positive outlook

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I’ve had Chinese and a slice of cake and honestly I feel like I could vomit. I’ve taken jab number 3 and here’s hoping the next week will FINALLY see me down into the 15’s.
