Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 🎄🤶🏻❄️🎅🏼

Now to continue the weight loss….

Happy new year, everyone. My first weigh in of 2025! Only lost half a lb this week - disappointing but not a big surprise as my appetite shot up. So I’ve increased my dose slightly again.

13th dose today is 4.5mg

Total weight loss now 2 stone and 4.5 lbs in 12 weeks.
SW 15 stone 1 lb
CW 12 stone 10.5 lbs
GW 10 stone 3 lbs

Well I can report, 3rd day since my first 10mg, and still feel amazing.

back to work was a little stressy when I logged on, but still found half an hour or so at lunch to go to the gym, ( have a full home gym in an out building, not the prettiest but fully functional with all the equipment )

suppression is high, but still ate as normal, as I know if my cals drop too low it’s coming back on fast and furious when I titrate down.

just placed my next order with cloud, moving from medexpress, so will see how that goes.

I buy from Cloud, they’ve been excellent so I hope you have the same experience as me.

Thank you and they just approved, I am impressed, hopefully the delivery is smooth next, if so, I intend to stay with them long term, as they seem open to maintenance.

Hi all, has anyone had terrible stomach cramps and wind on their last 7.5mg jab? It's awful. My period is also two weeks late (not pregnant). Is this a side effect?!

YES! I had exactly this and still struggling with is hugely. Snacking far more often that I used to before Xmas. I'm hoping once I up my dosage next week it'll stop

I was trying some new clothes on and my youngest just said "you used to be really fat mummy but now you are not" Thanks darling!! 🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations I've had a similar comment from my overly honest 6yo

Aww, that’s very sweet, and also a bit motivational!

Me too, I think it’s because I’ve been off of work for so long due to the Christmas break and my usual routine (especially around meal times and food that’s in the house) has fallen by the wayside, Saturday and Sunday I really struggled, gave in to a few bad choices too easily on Sunday but I’m back to work today and have felt good about things again. I never thought that I would be happy to get back to work though!

I did it lost my gain over Christmas and more!

Jab 14 done;
3x2.5mg
5x3.75mg
6x5mg

Weigh in number 13
SW 21st 9lb
CW 19st 6lb
GW 11st 9lb
-5lbs this week so really 2lb off after my 3lb Christmas gain
Losses so far; 4, 1, 5, 1, 3, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 1, +3, 5
Total of 31lbs. I've lost 10% of my body weight since starting and my BMI just dropped under 40 from a start of 44.8

Next mini goal 17st 9lb by 18/3 - total loss 4st. 18th March is the weigh in before my birthday and this would mark the lowest weight I have on my weight loss app from September 2017.

Well done everyone for getting back into it. I’ve just dropped back to 2.5mg after my two weeks of illness after increasing over Xmas. Pray for me that I don’t bob myself today 🙏

I have a dilemma.

On MJ since 10 October, I have lost 2 1/2 stone so very pleased 2 1/2 to go. Only side effect has been constipation.

I have just had a wardrobe clear out and I have loads of too big clothes (hurray). I have them all washed and ready for the charity shop but can't stop thinking of all the times I have done this in the past and had to buy new everything again. Should I hang on to them just in case there is a MJ famine as I know if I stop taking it my weight will go up again.

I have gotten rid of all of mine because for me this is the first time I can see myself being and staying skinny.

I think if I left them in the attic it would be at the back of my mind that this will fail too

I don’t intend to put the weight back on and recognise I am going to need some type of maintenance dose for the foreseeable to maintain my loss. Saying that I have stored my old clothes in the ottoman under my bed, just don’t feel ready to let go of them just yet.

What is your plan to maintain, do you intend to stay on a low dose, or do it with willpower?

I know I will have to stay on a low dose to maintain. I have been losing and regaining weight for 50 years.

Then get rid of the clothes, and enjoy doing it,

My arms are getting wobbly so am starting weights tonight!

I am trying to enjoy the exercise. I would be lying if I said I did enjoy it.

When does exercise stop hurting the next day? 🤣🤣

Well seems the lower dose isn’t great either, started this afternoon with a lot of wind, then runs, eggy burps and just finished up throwing up. Which is what happened last week. Feeling better to get it out of my system though. Does anyone know if I came off it for a few weeks and then wanted to start up again whether I’d be able to order again? I know I could order a pen to store but feel like I’m half way to target so have no choice other than do it by myself for a few weeks and see how I get on.

Suspect so, but you need to ask your supplier. I think if you can’t tolerate low doses, I’m not sure it’s wise though. Maybe try wegovy?

That’s a good sign though, it means you’re doing it right, 😂

I’ve been mixing mine up, treadmill, elliptical, bike, climber, rower, all on hardest or highest setting (incline on treadmill) and usually feel fine. But today I did thirty low/deep squats. Fuck me. My thighs are sore. And it’s not even tomorrow yet. I only did 30 too.

It’s just strange though as I did the first 11 jabs, including a 3.75 with no side effects at all

Sorry, remind me, what happened to cause the two weeks of illness?

Edited to add did 10 jabs of 2.5mg from the start of October. Started the 5mg pen before xmas with a 3.75 dose, no side effects, 23/12 upped to 50 clicks (about 4.16mg) and was sick xmas eve night. Then Boxing Day and day after had bad diarrhoea and couldn’t get out of bed otherwise. Then did 3.75 on nye, within 7 hours I had eggy burps, diarrhoea and was sick than night but fine afterwards, took 2.5 today and the same has happened within 7 hours of the jab. Been sick tonight but feel ok again now. I’ve emailed MedExpress to see what they say. But if I have to stop that’s fine, I’ve lost 30lb and happy with that. I don’t really want to start switching to different products. I’ll have to see how I get on doing it alone!
