Welcome to friends old and new!

I’m W9D2 on second pen of 5mg
SW 13stone 12lb
CW 12st 6.2lb
GW 10st
H 5’5.5”

@WoodsWanderer well done thats a good loss 👍🏻

I'm with Asda but I've just discovered that they use Zava UK as their provider and looking at their website they are much cheaper than Asda! I've just ordered my next pen with Asda (typical) but I might try to switch to Zava for the following month. The only thing that is worrying me is that I am now in the overweight category as I have lost a stone, so I'm not sure whether they will accept me. They don't have any FAQs on their website so I may just have to give it a go in a month's time.

@KeepCalmandGiveItaGo I’m with voy i went to end subscription and they knocked £50 off immediately when I clicked through the options. I’ve seen someone mention they might even price match now, and another post that said they took £50 off for 2 months.

someone has used my code (whoop) so that’s my next one covered too.

50ish pounds so I’m aiming for June but would love it to be sooner!

Just done my 7th injection (2nd on 5mg - I’m doing the 5th doses)
Lost 6lb this week, can’t believe it, I did have a few days feeling sick after moving to 5mg last week, and so had trouble eating much those days, but rest of week great and I ate well and had good food, drank plenty of water.
Also been on 3 nice walks (bad knee now allowing me to walk more), so maybe that also helped.
So my total weight loss is 21.5 lbs, I am so happy and am feeling so much better, more energetic and positive.
I know I have a lot to lose and I am in this for long haul, but it feels so good to be working hard at getting healthy, and I’m seeing positive changes.
So I’m looking forward to what my week 7 has in store for me….
Love being part of this group and sharing our experiences, only my husband and daughter knows so I’m sure they are sick of me talking about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been able to stick with the slimming clinic as they have now added both codes to my order. One of the added bonuses of using TSC is that you can get 4.25% cash back with them through TopCashback - every little helps!

The doctor whose health plan I am on has said I can take two 2.5mg doses to finish my 2.5mg pen this weekend, as long as I do it as two separate injections with 2 separate needles, so I am going up to 5mg this weekend.

Just the injections without anything additional. It was an eye watering price anyway but being a yokel and not London prices (as well as 20% off) it was less than half what I’ve seen advertised.

It took a few days for my face to settle, not something you could have done mid week and then go to work!

Waiting to see the results over the next month!

Good luck

Second day on 7.5mg and suppression has been strong all day. Had a bit of brekkie but no lunch - ended up with a coffee and an actimel. Drank lots of water.

After no experience to date of the dreaded ‘eggy burps’ I can finally report they arrived! Felt a bit like I’ve had a hangover all day which isn’t the best tbh so definitely will be leaving my pen at home next week to hopefully jab when I get back.

Guess what I did today and I haven’t been able to do it for about 20 years because I was , note past tense, was!! so fat, I couldn’t do it without potentially causing myself an injury….

I got on a moving escalator as I could actually look down and see the moving step, rather than looking down and seeing only boobs! I felt so liberated. I got on an escalator. Yay!

it’s the small things 💪

Will not lie - am slightly anxious about it

Love this @lovealongbath. I worked out that one reason I've been able to be in denial about some of the issues with my body is that I can't see much of it past my boobs!

I have lost 18lbs, but I think I have lost all 18lbs of my face and boobs.

I have been working today and I have to shower when I get home so am now in PJs and I don’t have the gorging red marks in my shoulders that bra straps leave.

I have to admit, I am missing my “shelf” that I could put a plate or book on.

Interesting as I'm asda too and just ordered my 2nd 5mg. I wonder do zava have a maintenance plan - off to Google!

Watching all with interest who are thinking to switch from Asda. I’m also Asda but it’s super pricey isn’t it? I only chose them as couldn’t get accepted by anyone else as bmi was just under 30 when I started. I’d love to defect to a cheaper option so please all feed back if you have any wins switching whilst in the “overweight” rather than 30 plus bmi category.

Just done my first successful bonus dose. By the forcing round method. No idea what i did differently to my failed attempts but it seemed to work. Also no idea how much I actually got as didn’t count the clicks -I’m not that technical. But if I feel suppression waning may inject from the new pen a day or so earlier next week as need be.

Ooh let us know how you get on! I’m considering the polynucleotide treatment which is essentially salmon sperm 😂

Woohoo!

Nuface in action here also!

Well done!

And happy birthday!

Awesome!!

I will do, she seemed quite confident it will sort out my under eye lines so I'm looking forward to seeing the results. I mentioned the snail essence to see what she thought and she said she was on her third bottle 🤣 I really like the practitioner her work is very subtle and natural.
