I took my 3rd dose yesterday. No side effects except suppression. I’ve lost 4 kilos.

today I bought some chocolate marzipan from Lidl. It’s normally my favourite thing ever, but just around at Christmas. I put 1 in my pocket to have while I was working, and it just fell out of my pocket when I put my Pjs on. I’d forgotten about it! I have never not binged these marzipan things before, and I totally forgot I had it!
I then picked the broccoli from my stir fry to eat first tonight. What is this witchcraft!!

That's really interesting, when I took my first bonus dose last week the bloody pen broke and wouldn't depress, so I tried to turn it again and the dial/plunger fell apart, luckily I'd bought some needles from the medical supply shop that was linked here, just in case, so I was able to draw it out.

Have people started moving up the doses yet? My 5mg pen has arrived, and I was going to use my golden dose on my 2.5, but I’ve woken up hungry today so I think I’ll just move up. I don’t think I’ll go straight to 5 but need to work out how many clicks to do for 3.75 - I think I’ve seen a table with the clicks on for each dose somewhere.

I'm not there yet - but had an email yesterday encouraging me to order my next pen. I do want to have it well before Xmas in case of delivery issues so will order soon.

I'm probably going to order the 5mg too, as I don't seem to be losing much weight. But the same as you I'm going to go up to 3.75mg by counting the clicks. I feel like that will help my body adjust.

I believe it's 45 clicks on a 5mg pen. A full dose is 60 clicks.

5mg - 60 clicks
3.75mg - 45 clicks
2.5mg - 30 clicks
1.25mg - 15 clicks

I went straight to 5 and it has been fine, week 4 of 2.5 I had very little suppression so I was ready. I was really worried about going up as I had read a lot of people had bad symptoms but it has been fine and kickstarted my body again. 2nd 5 jab tomorrow:)

Hi just quick update wk5d1

Sw: 93kg
Cw: 85.5kg
Gw: 60kg

Still on 2.5mg as the suppression is so strong.

Hi all, I'm new here. Started on Wednesday so I'm W1 day 3 and have lost 3lb already...I'm looking forward to reading all about everyone's journeys.

Based on this theory of 30 clicks is 2.5

could you buy the 5mg pen, only use 30 clicks to stay on 2.5 and the pen would last longer, thus saving money ?

End of week 2 and Ive just taken my third dose. Ive lost half a stone in 2 weeks which I think is ok.
Im almost completely immobile waiting for hip surgery, working from home. So I cant exercise.

Ughhh I am so annoyed with myself. I was doing so well yesterday, and then late last night I ate a load of chocolate. For no other reason that I was exhausted and depressed that my kids wouldn’t sleep 😭. I wasn’t even hungry really just wanted to feel better. Weigh in day tomorrow 😣

Drum roll please….i stepped on the scales this morning and my weight starts with a 12 for the first time in about 10 years! 🥳

(Tbf 12st 13.8lbs but I’ll take that 😂)

I’m not off to eat chocolate or drink wine in celebration either - I shall be playing tennis instead 😉

Don’t beat yourself up. Could be hormonal?

Morning all, I’m on week 5 of my first pen, having taken the bonus dose. I’m definitely feeling less suppression this week and it’s been more will power that’s pushed me through the last two days.

Im glad I decided to go for the 5mg pen to give me the choice of staying on 2.5 or moving up. I haven’t decided yet if I want to do 3.75mg on Monday or 5, I’m leaning to the lower bridging dose as the idea of doubling in one jab makes me a bit nervous of side effects!

Yes, although it would take you over the 30 day limit.

I will be extending over 30 days if I don’t go up to 5 straight away x

Morning all. Officially joining this thread, I did the first jab last night so I'm on W1 D1. Feeling very full after a yogurt and coffee this morning so I'm guessing the effects are kicking in! I also feel really thirsty, a reminder to drink more water.

It's great to have this thread, apart from my mum I'm not telling anyone so this is really helpful.

SW 12st 10lb
GW 9st 7lb

I’m the same, I’ve got the bonus next week so see how much I get out of that and see how I react.

Good luck x

Amazing @Mounjaropen what a lovely feeling
Good luck to all the new starters

I feel like there’s something bubbling inside of me today! It’s not my stomach growling or gurgling, but feels higher up. It reminds me of when I was pregnant and could feel the kicks.

Congratulations!!!!

I'm on day 3 of my first week and feeling a bit peckish this morning... trying to ignore it! I have lost a couple of pounds so far, but was slightly up this morning from yesterday's weigh in, which I guess is probably the natural fluctuations you see over a week of dieting. I felt so wiped out and nauseous on day one, day 2 I felt like I had morning sickness... today I'm hungry . I don't think it has really stopped my cravings because I feel like I did when I was pregnant... I am craving things like crisps and toast to settle the nausea, and am having to use a lot of willpower to resist. Has anyone else felt like that?

I’m on W3D2.

will update as at the end of W2

SW 90
W1 87.7
W2 86.1
so 1.6kg down last week and a total of 3.9kg down

the suppression definitely wore off towards the end of W2 but I have managed to avoid anything naughty.

i can normally demolish galaxy chocolate without noticing and I really don’t fancy it now at all

I’ve been a bit constipated so am looking to increase my fibre intake

definitely feeling less tired and I have been sleeping better which is good

love seeing everyone’s progress, keep it up guys 💪

I always get really nauseous on jab day so my GP gave me omeprazole, I took one before todays jab and it seems to have done the trick.

Took my 3rd 2.5mg jab last night, weighed in this morning at 15st 6lb so 10lb total loss now. Really happy, nice consistent loss.
Suppression surprisingly is quite good today but I don't know if anyone else gets this but the night after I jab I always wake up at 3:00am thirsty and have some weird dreams?!

I did notice at the gym yesterday I was starting to run out of energy on the cross trainer where I never have done previously.

Reporting in.
W3D7
SW: 19st 9lbs
CW:19st 1lbs
1st GW: 17st 13lbs
TL: 8lbs
Two pounds off again this week and I should be back in the 18s next week. I hit 18st 9lbs when my mental health tanked in the 3rd lock down, so seeing my previous worst weight in sight feels good. I can see the damage I've been doing to myself unrolling.
As much a I'd love to have a big loss one week, if it sticks at 2 then that'd be doubling the speed I've lost a large amount of weight before, which is good.
