I reached my dream goal!

I had a realistic goal and a dream goal 😅

I got close to my goal and couldn't lose anymore on my own nd took MJ to reach my dream goal.

I have 2 x 5mg jabs left and I'm not sure whether I should take a few 2.5mg to taper off? But I don't want to go any lower but worried about stopping cold turkey.

I reached my dream goal!

Congratulations 🎊 what a fantastic result! Hopefully I'll be able to celebrate similar achievement one day. I personally would try to go cold turkey and keep 2 pens as a back up plan if the things go downhill at any point. Providing they have a long enough shelf life obviously...

HansHolbein · 24/01/2025 18:57

Incredible! I am so happy for you. This makes me feel like I can achieve this too, thank you.

A number of providers Oushk, Cloud, Pharmulous and Simple Online Pharmacy (to name a few!) offer maintenance. I would drop them an email and see what they say.

Congratulations on such a wonderful achievement 🥳

HansHolbein · 24/01/2025 18:58

If you want maintenance that is…

Sorry it's not 2 pens, it's just 2 doses of 1 pen.

I don't want maintenance, I can't afford it for one and the side effects have been pretty full on for me even staying on the low doses (especially insomnia!) so I'm looming forwards to coming off it.

Amazing - congratulations! 😊

coolcahuna · 24/01/2025 19:16

Can I ask what the maintenance is? I'm hopefully starting my last full month now and wondering about what next.

Wowsers!! That's a huge achievement - well done.

You are the living proof that it's a marathon not a sprint 👏

It makes it so much more likely that you'll keep it off too as you've obviously had to learn a whole new way of eating over time. Fantastic!

nzeire · 24/01/2025 20:17

Well done!!!

MounjaroOnMyMind · 24/01/2025 20:19

That's incredible - congratulations! Did you really lose over 8 stone? Have you got a headless photo? I dream of being 9 stone!

JoanCollinsDiva · 24/01/2025 20:20

Yes, show us a before and after OP (headless of course) give us some inspo!

I love before and after photos, I tried to start a thread with them but no takers unfortunately!

LyricalGangsta · 24/01/2025 20:29

@KitMg This is amazing!
How tall are you please?

Sorry, I thought you meant 2 pens (some peopleseem to have a stash). I would taper it off but if the side effects are making you miserable then I am not sure if it is worth it.

@KitMg This is amazing!

I have a new phone so all my old photos are on my laptop so will have to find a before one

I didn't like my photo being taken back then.

Wow well done! How much did you lose before MJ? You said you got nearly to your goal before you took it?

HousePlans · 24/01/2025 20:41

Amazing! 🤩

I was quite happy with the 80lbs but still felt quite chubby as I was all belly.

I know all but nothing about weight loss have, but I'm curious.

Can I ask if you were on them for 2 1/2 years?

The photo says July 2021, is it a typo?
