Weigh in and 2nd job for me tomorrow, really nervous and have manage to resist the temptation of sneaking on the scales. So far so good, appetite really suppressed so eaten very well this week and managed so much more activity/exercise. Only side effect I had was Sulpher burps on day 2 but by day 3 they were gone. Fingers crossed to see some sort of result on the scales tomorrow 🙏

3 KG in a week is amazing!!! Well done.
Did you have the same success week 1? Sounds like 2.5mg worked well for you. I don't understand how this is not a 'treatment dose' with loss like this.

I am hoping that despite a great loss week 1, I hope I continue and don't stall.

Chylde · 29/01/2025 09:27

So just had first check in and lost 5lb so I'm very chuffed. About to take my 2nd injection ... onwards and downwards 😁

Kebabo · 29/01/2025 10:57

Do you weigh in when u take blood test ? . Then do you weigh in again when u get sent first pen ? as that weight could easily be different depending on how long to blood results plus how long till pen arrives ?

Yes you weigh yourself at first then when you check in to take your blood test you weigh again, it will show in the app any difference between those weights, it doesn't take too long between bloods and meds x

So it's the night before Jab 2 and for the first time this week I'm in danger of eating something naughty.

Desperately trying to resist whereas all other nights I've not even thought about food.

Early night tonight so I bring on my second jab more quickly!

Anyone else had this?

Yep me, I found by day 6 I was running purely on my own willpower, I am hoping the move jabs I have my body will eventually get a build up and it not feel like it's wearing off x

@ChyldeI gather from others that’s what happens. Of course, I’m still on the 2.5mg dose at the moment so maybe it doesn’t happen on the 5mg dose.

I’ve checked in and I’ve lost 5.6lbs in my first week. I’m very happy with that! Clothes just a teeny bit looser than last week. I’m so glad I had the guts to do this! x

Great to see the losses some are getting. In 2 weeks I have dropped 1 stone 4lbs. They have issued a new pen. Beware, they take payment on your 3rd injection check in. They are moving me onto 5mg. Been side effect free, hope going up doesn't start them!

WOW! That's an amazing loss. Well done you.

Thanks for the heads up on when they take the next payment. On the upside it means that we won't be worried about running out of MJ x

Sorry can't remember how long after u posted bloods did u hear back and to recieve first pen

Kebabo · 30/01/2025 12:58

Hi, I'm currently on 2.5 which I will take the final dose of next week. Then 5mg dose. It was very quick from blood results to getting a pen. I think it wax 2 or 3 days. Good luck to all of us on this journey

BestDIL · 30/01/2025 15:30

@Shazzabelle Everyone starts on 2.5mg for your body to get used to the meds. I've read on other posts that unless you have really bad side effects everyone moves to 5mg for the second pen ie four weeks.

I only had to wait a couple of days from getting blood results to receiving first pen.

Won't be long for you now!

Thanks, my test has arrived so will do it in morning as I won't have eaten for hours then post it back if I manage to get it done lol .
Ps I suppose it rules out a last sneaky wine the night 🤣🤣

You don't need to fast for the bloods but you can't do it on a Friday. If you can do today do it for you'll be waiting until Monday. The labs are shut at the weekend so blood sample will have degraded too much. C

You can still have a drink though x
