Hi all,
Im due to take my first injection on Friday night.
I figured doin it over the weekend might be best if I experience symptoms etc.

I recently lost 3 stone on a calorie deficit but its been hard. I am not doing well to shift the last 2 stone and I have started bad food habits again, binging etc so I am hoping it will help with food noise.
Im anxious about starting with only 2 stone to lose though.
Anyone else been in the same boat ?

can you articulate why “only” having 2 stone to lose is making you anxious?

if it’s enough to make you eligible, you’re just like everyone else - in the nicest possible way.! Just get started!

i had 2 stone to lose and have lost a stone so far, am on week 2 of 5mg after using 2.5 for 4 weeks. I had terrible food habits before starting and the medication has helped me stop binging etc. I have high cholesterol so am hoping when I get into the normal weight BMI my cholesterol will reduce. I had no side effects taking the 2.5 but have felt a bit nauseous since starting the 5mg. Have found drinking peppermint tea helps

My BMI is 27,2. I think I stone would pretty much bring me into a healthy BMI. 20lbs would be me slimmest in years!
I'm on week 2, and think I've lost 2-3 lbs. I'd be very happy with 1lb per week loss as I do not want to lose muscle mass
