I've just had that email too @WitchDancer . Bet mumsnet is about to be inundated with requests to delete the hundreds of posts about all the credit.

qotsa · 23/04/2025 15:21

Haha. It’s not rocket science is it. I’ll await my email. Like I say I’ve literally only shared it on here, and not many times. Just thought I’d give it a go.

qotsa · 23/04/2025 15:33

I’ll be keeping a copy of that with the wording ‘new’ and the date of the screenshot.

@qotsaweird this just popped up on my tik tok! But from what I can see you balance willl be fine as long as you delete your previous posts with you code. If you don’t remove it by 25th April you’re then breaking the rules and they can block your code/and or remove previous credit.

qotsa · 23/04/2025 15:55

@owlyboo I’ve reported my posts to Mumsnet but they’ve replied saying there are so many requests it’s impossible for them to do it especially by the 25th. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m not really bothered tbh as I have another pen on the way and enough to finish now. I do actually think it’s a bit rich of Medexpress as I’m guessing they haven’t minded the two hundred plus customers they have now that have used said code 🙄

qotsa · 23/04/2025 15:56

@owlyboo I only use the app on my iPhone. Is there any way of me deleting them if I use the browser instead?

owlyboo · 23/04/2025 15:58

Yes @qotsai think it’s unfair. They get the money/new customer whether it’s from a close family friend recommending it or a influencer sharing their code on tik tok 🙄

I have no idea how/if you can delete posts! Sorry! Someone more helpful will come along!

owlyboo · 23/04/2025 15:59

@qotsai would screen shot the messages between you and Mumsnet as it shows you’ve done all you can to remove your posts if it’s not done in time

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/04/2025 17:45

Ditto with the email and text from med express. You have 48hrs to remove

Evening!

I’ve stayed with Voy for the whole time as I’m scared to move to another provider. I think I want to stay on longer term and Voy don’t offer that (and it’s expensive). Do I dare try to move to oushk? I’ve heard there is a long wait for approval appointments. I’ve got six weeks of doses at 12.5mg left and then want to start a taper down and then probably settle on 5mg or 2.5mg for a while.

im scared I’ll suddenly be left with no provider when I hit goal and really don’t think I’ll maintain easily without.

Usernamechangeforthis12 · 23/04/2025 19:00

@qotsa - can you go in and edit the messages you’ve posted? (Never done it do not sure if it’d work?)

I’ve been notified that someone has used my code so will get a discount if I order another pen. I’m pretty much at target but thinking I need to stay on it for a while to make sure I maintain.

Increased back up to 3.75 last week after a couple of weeks on 2.5 whilst being kind and struggling with my MH but old habits were creeping in.

@NippyNinjaCrab when are you off on your holidays?

Ive had to update my wardrobe too but have mostly bought a few bits from Vinted. I had a last minute surprise trip overseas late last year that I had to buy clothes for which are hardly worn and now too big so hoping to sell them on.

I need clothes that will hide my awful arms. I’m so self conscious of them. I need 3/4 length sleeves.

I’ve got some size 12 trousers which seem too big for me but couldn’t get the 10 jeans I ordered done up! When I was this weight before I was a size 8/10 but clearly my DCs have destroyed me!

Anyway, I’m just thrilled to be where I am today (apart from the saggy-ness!) I really wish I’d taken measurements now but didn’t ever think I’d actually get to this point.

FurForksSake · 23/04/2025 19:15

Well I’ve bit the bullet and ordered with oushk. Not sure it will get approved. I’ve ordered it for a couple of weeks. I figure if I’m a customer going on to maintenance with them will be easier and it seems a good price.

qotsa · 23/04/2025 19:45

@Usernamechangeforthis12 ah thanks. I’ve tried that but they must be too old to edit now. Mumsnet would probably do themselves a favour if they enabled it tbh as I’m guessing there will be lots of people asking.

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/04/2025 19:54

That’s why I moved to them a while back @FurForksSake

to get a foot in the door

I’ve done all the bits and pieces but imagine they won’t review it for two weeks until the delivery date. It feels really scary.

did you have to have a video consultation?

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/04/2025 21:01

No. Just had to send pics. This was in feb

@Usernamechangeforthis12 @Azuresky68 we are going to Mexico, I've never been and either has DH. It will be a last big holiday for a couple of years because it's so expensive with dog boarding etc. We go for 2 weeks wooohooo. I'm excited to get away and see somewhere new. I prefer the canaries in particular Lanzarote because of the wind for me. We went in 2022 but the humidity was particularly high so wasn't very nice at night. It's the only way I can lie in the sun with Factor a million on haha.

Isn't it weird how the weight comes off in different places depending on age? Or is it the tools we have used that makes us get the flat arse and skinnier legs 🦵 🤔 i do walk a lot when I can but my legs have not been this shape.

I feel bad thinking these thoughts but when I see a young woman who is particularly heavy, I want to say to her please don't be like me and yoyo, get a grip of it now and your body will thank you. Please don't misinterpret this as fat shaming or a misunderstanding of any medical/medication condition. I see so many young beautiful women overweight. My Sister once said to me, what you eat now will soon catch up with you in later life and she was right, I took everything i had for granted and I always say have no regrets in life but this is a regret. Xx

Timetochange24 · 24/04/2025 10:26

Mexico is on my bucket list @NippyNinjaCrab - hope it's an amazing trip!

You make a good point on no regrets when it comes to health. It's all very well encouraging body confidence, but I think normalising very high weight is going to have consequences (for some people) in the long run. Curvey is different from lugging around an extra 4 stone and living off carbs and cake...

We've been having nhs health checks in the office this week and even after losing all the weight it's still not perfect. Unfortunately the computer doesn't log the 4 stone lost, just the 1.5 measly pounds that I'm still sitting above a healthy BMI 🙄

It showed my cholesterol being slightly higher than healthy too, which confused me, as it feels like I'm eating nothing but fresh veg and lentils most days, but Dr Google tells me this is (hopefully) due to fat exiting my body. I've printed out a list of cholesterol-busting food to keep on my desk though, so that as I start to increase calories slightly I'm doing it with all the good stuff. No regrets from this point on 💪

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/04/2025 12:43

@NippyNinjaCrab Mexico sounds fab. Couldn’t step son dog sit ?

@Timetochange24. That’s a bit naff tho think if you hadn’t lost the 4st it wohid have been much higher

and waving that Enormous elephants penis about 😂😂😂

OP posts:
NippyNinjaCrab · 24/04/2025 14:25

@Timetochange24 that's a whole other issue in itself with the 1.5 lbs, it's so easy to feel despondent and think wtf is the point when it's still an overweight BMI. They need to overhaul the BMI scale now to incorporate both genders and all ethnicity. Almonds are good for cholesterol so says my GP, when I had my blood results last week.
@Blondeshavemorefun gosh no, i wouldn't ask him or anyone to look after them. They are a lot of work, a lot!

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/04/2025 17:14

Esp knob dog eh @NippyNinjaCrab

Timetochange24 · 24/04/2025 17:38

The healthcheck didn't log allotment digging or small child wrangling as aerobic exercise either.

They've clearly never met my children or seen the state of my allotment 🤣

SilverSprings510 · 24/04/2025 19:55

Hey ladies - hope you’re all okay! Good look to those WWJ tomorrow, I know we have a lot of Friday weighers. I have a NSV today - I’ve had to remove my wedding and engagement rings for now as they’re so big they’re flying off my hands! So will need to order something to help keep them on. Don’t want to have them resized just yet but it’s looking like I’ll definitely need to at some point!

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/04/2025 20:03

My rings are loose as well but as they will be removed soon not a big issue

thibk I mentioned a while back they I retried my first dh wedding /engagement ring and they fit now. They didn’t a few years back - took them off in 2013 about 18mths after dh 1 died

never fitted after I took them off

I think I will exchange my now wedding /engagement ring for either
my mums wedding /engagement ring which never fitted me

or

the ring ma and pa got me for my 18th which I too off years ago as fingers too fat then wore dh 1 ring
