I dropped down to 7.5 after really not getting on with the 10 and am much happier and feeling “normal” again.

Hi @MathsMagpie , yup , still going strong indeed ! You are now where I was when I restarted in January , you are pretty much touching your goal ! 😊

I’ve struggled on 5mg , to much hunger so I have asked my prescriber to go back up to 7.5mg . They have agreed so long as I maintain and not lose . I’ll finish this pen so as not to waste it but i don’t like the food noise. I’m a bit concerned the pen may be a dud as I’m feeling no suppression . Annoyingly , our fridge ( garage ) was accidentally switched off for 6 days so this oen wasn’t stored at 4 to 6 degrees . But according to the internet , it should have been ok for 21 days . Arrrggghh .

@Souredgrapesthat’s so frustrating! I’m glad they’ve agreed to boost you back up to 7.5mg though if you feel you need it. Did you enjoy your holidays (and the food)?

Hi @MathsMagpie , I did enjoy the holiday . The food selection was amazing and I was able to pick healthy options without feeling deprived. Lots of unusual fruits / fish and veg . I drank in moderation too which meant I really enjoyed everyday without food bloat and a hangover until midday 😁. It was the best holiday I’ve had because I felt great and controlled myself around the buffet. Enjoyed the sweet stuff too , I bloody love baklava ! But didn’t eat 5 or 6 bits a day like I normally would .

it just feel so good to be normal around food and drink so I’ll be taking the 7.5mg for as long as they are happy to let me have it .
Have a good week !

I’ve been poorly and off work stuck in bed nibbling on Walkers crisps all week and gained 1.5lbs! Oops

Hi @MathsMagpie . Just realised I didn’t hit the post button when I replied last week . Ah well , I hope you are feeling better. Another loss so all going well for you . I’ve lost my holiday weight gain so I’m happy with that .
Hope everyone has a good week .

@Souredgrapeswell done you! I’m glad you could enjoy yourself and keep going!

Very quiet here! Just checking in on my 6 month anniversary to report total loss of 3 stones 1lb (43lbs). 2 stones still to go. Just coming to the end of 7.5mg and moving up to 10 next week. I am loving this! After decades of struggling I now have confidence that this weight is coming off and staying off. Would be very interested to hear how others have done.

Hi Tubbytiger I’m down a similar amount 😊 with another 3 and a half to go. Also on 7.5mg now. It has been a fantastic improvement to my health!

Hi @Tubbytiger im still plodding along. I’ve lost 45lbs so far. Been on 7.5 for 3 pens and it’s definitely losing effect so I’ll move up to 10mg when this pen is finished. Haven’t been in a rush as wanted to enjoy the lovely weather we’ve been having. Had tons of social plans which always involved food and drink. Mounjaro has stopped me from being greedy but I’ve definitely not lost any weight for a few weeks. Currently on hols but looking forward to getting home and back to a healthy routine. Well done on your loss! I’d like to lose another 3 stone

That is good to hear @sofabear! My health is better too.

Brilliant thanks and sorry should have said well done on your loss! It’s fantastic progress!

hi @pastthelinesame here with slowing weight loss. This is the point for me in the past where feeling comfortable with a decent loss I would have a sod it moment and throw myself into social eating and drinking but I am able to enjoy life with a lot less now! Hoping the ten pen will help to shift a few more pounds. Not sure exactly how much more i am going to lose as I havent managed to get to a goal weight before! At my age there’s a risk of going too far and looking like an empty handbag.

Started today! Not sure what to expect. My starting weight is 16 stone 5lbs. Feel absolutely disgusting but hopeful!

I think you are looking for the Jan 2026 thread?

DOH! You're right, apologies!
