Week 2 day 1. Had my second 2.5mg earlier today and now got some pretty bad bloating. I didn’t get this last week!

You need peppermint tea!

Yes, I do! Unfortunately I have none in the house and it’s a 15 min drive to the nearest shop that is open at this time of night. I can’t face going out!

Lynca · 24/01/2025 20:24

Evening all!

I've just taken my first jab. Feeling slightly nervous at potential side effects but also excited to get going on a journey to a slimmer, healthier me!

I've got about 5 stone too lose, though happy for a slow and steady loss, 2lb per week would do me just fine. I've already started trying to get into better habits this past week by upping my water intake to 2l a day, fasting between 7pm-11am, and I also bought a walking pad to help me up my steps as I have a sedentary job. I'm going to aim for around 1200 calories per day.

Great to join you all!

Seaitoverthere · 24/01/2025 20:25

@mince3point14159265 , thank you very much 😊

Thanks for the new thread.

@Snoopibird saw your post on the last thread. I only had one day (so far?) of feeling cold thankfully, I hope you're warm again now! I had a quick scroll back to see if I could see your post/stats but couldn't find you. Is it your first week too? Hope it's going well.

Great loss for 3 weeks. Well done. 👏

Peppermint tea, yes! I usually fancy one about once a month. Have had a few a day every day this week.

Snoopibird · 24/01/2025 20:44

@HousePlans thanks for tagging me! Didn't see the new thread! Yes I'm on week 1 day 4.

I started on 94 kilos I weighed myself today and 93.2..so nearly a whole kilo.

Still up and down cold and hot. Hoping that wears off!

DGonMJ · 24/01/2025 20:56

Thankyou @mince3point14159265

DGonMJ · 24/01/2025 21:00

eek, I thought my next pen would be delivered in ice and so left it in my unheated front porch for about 36 hours as I had a bit of a family emergency to deal with. Just opened it realised it wasn’t ice wrapped, aaaargh! Have I wasted it? I’ve popped it in the fridge anyway.

Thelittlestranger · 24/01/2025 21:37

@mince3point14159265 thank you!!

@JoanCollinsDivaI would like to have something to say to you, but it wouldbt let me delete it from my post 😂

@DGonMJ I would just use it ...up to how safe you feel though ❤️

My first pen was sent on Friday and arrived on Saturday but I was out. It was redelivered at 7:30 on the Monday evening. I was concerned too about it not being kept cold. I rang Med Express and they said it would be fine...

I jabbed on Monday night and have had both suppression and side effects, so seemingly all fine.

Thanks so much for sorting new thread and tagging in! It's never felt so good to be a loser 😉

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 24/01/2025 22:20

Wow thread three!
Thanks for the tag.
I am attempting a weekend away after taking jab 4 yesterday.
Good so far, on track with food and have just been drinking water compared to everyone else's copious amounts of alcohol!

mince3point14159265 · 24/01/2025 22:24

@DGonMJ presuming you're in the UK it should be absolutely fine as it just needs to be kept under 30deg.
Hope all ok with the family emergency 🤞

Lesson learnt tonight; rest of family voted for fish & chips for dinner and I thought maybe I could get away with just eating the fish. After a lengthy appointment with the toilet I now know that was a mistake! 😬

W3 D1 I've jabbed and weighed and am down 10lb in 2 weeks (I think...get confused remembering how many lb in a stone). Still feel a bit hungry here and there, will move from 2.5 to 5 for next one I think, but the revelation has been that I don't find myself wandering off for a snack all the time. I can think "I feel slightly peckish" but I don't then make a beeline for the fridge, I can sit it out without constantly telling myself I need to eat.
