Gearing up for a JANUARY start!

[FatGirlDosing]

Just approved and am assuming that the pen won’t arrive until after Christmas so will start the new year with a, er, prick.

Anyway, thought I’d start a thread for anyone else planning on a slimmer 2025!

I thought this today. I weighed this morning and it took me weeks to lose as much as I have since Thursday.

today is day 6 and I’m hungry for breakfast today. I’ve found that after meals, I’m still wanting something sweet but I’m just not having it. Someone upthread called it liquid willpower and that’s very true for me. I don’t think I’ve ever done 5 days without a chocolate bar before 🙈

Reading your second post I realised you had meant January, when you said December - I thought it had been way too long!! Glad it's on its way

Today my weight is 16st 4 1/2lbs
5 1/2lbs in a week, and I only felt hungry yesterday but I didn't reach for chocolate biscuits or crisps, instead I had loads of fruit and a bowl of shreddies.

22st 8lb this morning.

Started at 23st 2lb on December 29th.

This is giving me so much hope that I can be 20 stone by my anniversary in March. I know that feels like loads and it's higher than many people's starting weight but it'll be the lowest weight I'll have been in about 6 years.

It's a big goal to get 2st 8lb off in essentially 2 months but it's something to work towards.

Hi everyone
waiting for delivery from Med Express ( approved 31/1 after a disaster with simple online pharmacy!). Due to be delivered today but RM sent to wrong depot so now waiting for revised delivery time!
I’ve been calorie counting and off alcohol since NYD and am down 7 pounds in a week so v excited to see what MJ will do!
mum planning on injecting on a Wednesday evening as I wfh Thus and Fri so hopefully manage any side effects better!

Sw 16 stone 3 1/2
CW 15 stone 10
GW 11 stone 10

So ‘only’ 4 stone to go 🫣🤣

@VelvetWildflower congrats, that's a great loss

@VelvetWildflower well done! That's really fantastic & a great goal to aim for; good luck!

I did the Yoga with Adriene Prana day 1 this morning. It's been an absolute age since I did anything like that due to joint problems, but hate feeling so stiff and inflexible so thought this would be a good start. Thanks to menopause/weight/age I've shrunk by at least an inch over the last few years so really in need of some stretching!

I’m still waiting to have mine approved, I placed the order on 2 Jan and iv chased several times only to be told “ they are working on it”

im thinking they have run out!

First dose went in this morning. I’m weighed, fitness watch is on and here we go.

How long before the full effect of the dose is felt?

Is this for your starter dose? Have they not approved the prescription yet? I ordered mine after that and it's arriving today!

Yep starter dose - I’m getting annoyed. They wanted more pictures, I had to send them in my knickers and bra in the end - yum!

Oh no that is annoying! Fingers crossed it'll be sorted soon, it's annoying waiting when you want to get started.

Very! I have started by calorie deficit diet this week, obviously my stomach thinks my throat has been cut ( starved 😂) so hoping that the MJ will help with the constant food noise! Fingers crossed it’s soon -😆

Just taken my first dose!! Was so nervous and it didn’t help my DH was watching me throughout and when all was done he looked at me like I was about to explode out one end or the other 🤣

SW 15.7st
GW 11.5st

No going back now!!

Iv just had it approved - yay - now to wait for dispatch and delivery ⏳

So the slowed down digestive system was really noticeable this morning - took a collagen capsule before bed last night. It has a horrible taste to it - It was still repeating on me at 10am this morning 🫣

I'm on Day 3, week two. I've had around 1000 cals each day of this week (Sun,Mon,Tues) and exercised every day too. With the idea if I want a glass of wine on the weekend, when suppression has eased I can.

Liquid willpower is exactly right 💯

Hi all,

I'd love to join - hope that's ok?

I was 17.3st on Sunday, took my first dose that night. My end goal is around 12.5st.

On a calorie deficit trying to limit myself to around 1000kcal a day and going to try and walk lots more than I do.

Wishing us all the best of luck!

Yea to the slow digestion! Without being gross, I have always had food regurgitate and I am still getting last night’s dinner!

Today I have just had a Tesco wrap. I was at work and could easily have just gone without but I’m trying to be mindful of actually eating rather than turning it into a competition with myself about how long I can go without food. I have OCD and this could easily turn into an obsession. That said, I had it at 12 and I’m still full now. I think if this is how it is - feeling fuller for longer preventing over eating, with some work on the emotional eating - I would be very happy with the outcomes.

Big congratulations 👏 that is so brilliant!
20st definitely doable for you by march!
I started in 20st bracket too 🙂

I have finished week 1!! Had jab number 2 this morning! V excited that the week has gone so fast!

So far no side effects except low blood sugar, so all good (as long as I eat regularly and have some dextrose sweets to hand)

I'm not going to weigh myself more than every 3 weeks so I have no idea if and how much weight I've lost!!!!

For those with slow digestion issues - Biomel is a god send. I blend it in with my protein shake or mix it into yogurt.

We're jab buddies @MjMadness I've finished week1 today and will do my 2nd jab later tonight. Fingers crossed the nasty side effects stay away, I've not had a lot of problems so far. Weighing tomorrow morning 🤞🏻

Just done my first injection and imagining side effects left right and Centre!!

How do you know what dose to order after 2 weeks? I'm worrying about when to order now 😅

@Dunkou had a good recommendation further up thread. 5mg is the same cost as 2.5mg - and you can choose to have less if you don't think you need it all by counting the clicks in the pen. So, you could just order 5mg and have less?
