New thread as I am sure we will fill thread 2 up by the end of today! Welcome back everyone and well done for all the losses. Some have 5-6 stone to lose, some have 2 stone and me I have put 4 stone but looking at the BMI chart I could lose 6 stone and still be in the healthy range.

@Bipaloss yes me 👋

I was with Asda, paid £140 for first pen. They wanted £180 (-10% discount they sent me so ()162) for the next one.

I just ordered off zava on Friday evening . I paid £108.30 with postage. I’ve received it today (they tried yesterday) with Royal Mail.

i prefer the convenience of ‘click and collect’ but £54 discount is too good to ignore.

i have a 25-% off code if you p.m me (if also get a discount on my next one).

You can use it on 2.5 or 5 for the same price.

How did you get the discount for Asda please on your second order?

Also was your pen still cold despite the delayed delivery

Sleepeazie · 02/04/2025 19:46

@Fatmumslim01 they sent me one after about 2.5 weeks when I hadn’t re-ordered. It was then my birthday (26.03) and they sent me another for that.

I was worried about it not being cold enough, the ice was melted in the blue bag around it- but the water was still fridge cold. I’ve just popped it straight in the fridge and I’ll take it tomorrow.

i had read a thread on Reddit about how long they stay cold etc and efficacy, and I think it has more leeway than we are led to believe. Im sure if it was dangerous they’d not use normal postage.

Thank you for the new thread👍

WK 2 Day 5, still have good suppression and no food noise (weigh day Friday).

Sloelydoesit · 02/04/2025 20:06

I did jab #3 on Monday night. Definitely not as much suppression since as the first 2 but enough toake me not want to eat bad food!

I have started a new job this week round the corner from an amazing food market. Going to be tough to not be tempted but there are some good options. Plenty of grilled meat and salad boxes.

Weight wise - I'm not weighing but I'm measuring. As of Monday I am down 6cm from bust and waist. 4 and 5 off left and right thigh

No movement across hips and about 1cm off upper arms.

I am pleased with that!

Edited

I got my TOM a few days early on first dose of 2.5 . I tend to gain before the flow but actually lost 2lb in the 10 days from ordering first jab to taking the first (I normally loose 2-3 lb as it arrives from gaining that the week before). I normally have it only for 2-3 days (always have), but was heavy a day and a half (4 days into jab) and lost 4.8 lb that week. Due to take first 5mg on Sunday and already started bloating this week (dosnt show on scale but feel it on the jeans etc) , and expecting it to show early again, hopefully after taking the first 5mg

Hi lovelies

I’ve had to screenshot some of your messages so I can remember who to tag 🤣

@taylorswift1989 So so glad we’re in the same boat! I know this is going to be a long slow process but I’m definitely here for it 🙌🏼 seems everyone has different experiences on MJ and I wouldn’t rush to the next dose just yet. It does build up in our system but on research it says it’s most effective after some time (I can’t remember the number of weeks/months) Try to be patient and the results will come 🙏🏼 I’m having 0 effects, good or bad, trying to eat better and more regularly as I’m definitely in a restrict/binge pattern. Still having naughty food each day but keep telling myself it’s ok I can’t control it and in time MJ will help me knock that on the head! Get ready to be a skinny minny!🤣

@FrozenFractal I also went with WePrescribe as they were the second cheapest, if they price match I’ll definitely be sticking with them! If not, I’ll be swapping providers every time I order a new pen depending on who is cheapest 🤑

@Whereissummer24 Please let me know how you get on with the Polynucleotides for your under eyes, I’ve never heard of it but would love not to have to wear concealer everyday to look alive 🙈😂

SW 201lbs
CW 192 lbs
GW 160 lbs
5 ft 9, 59,
Lost 4 lbs week 2, so a total of 9lbs over 1st 2 weeks.

Enjoying not mindless eating, no snacking and small portions.

Screamindreamin · 02/04/2025 22:13

4th jab tomorrow, still not snacking or drinking, eating well , but this week has been the most difficult, I've not lost much so that rush from losing loads in the first weeks has gone. I am hungry but when I actually go to eat it repulses me, sticking to 2.5 and doing golden dose next week. I was a terrible evening snacker and mindless wine drinker all that has gone, it was a shock as this has been my mindset for many years and for it to just disappear was miraculous. I've lost 9 lb in 3 weeks.

soupforbrains · 03/04/2025 00:51

@TheSpoonyNavyReaderthanks for the new thread.

welcome all recent joiners. A little re-introduction/recap of my e Perrin e so far for the new thread.

I am 38 and 5’7. I’ve been very slowly creeping up in weight for the last 18 years and it sounds stupid but I only really realised how big I had got 5 years ago. I lost 3 stone through a very tough diet and exercise regimen, and then covid happened. I regained all I had lost and a bit extra for ‘good’ measure. I am not inactive, I walk my dog twice a day (20-30 mins but 2-3hours on weekends) but I have a VERY sedentary job and because I am carrying injuries from my ice skating career more strenuous exercise is difficult (especially with the extra weight I’m hauling about). I am determined to get to a healthy weight before I turn 40 next year so I’ve opted for MJ.

I’m currently at Week5 Day5
SW:19st10
CW:18st8 (official end of week4 weigh in)
GW: 11st7

I have experienced huge appetite suppression (I’m basically never hungry at all) and the food noise is silenced. I don’t fancy any of the things which were always my weakness (gin, wine, cheese and crisps). I have had to set alarms on my phone to remind me to eat and I keep tiny snacks in the fridge or take them to work so that I have things I like which are small. I am eating between 4 and 6 teeny tiny ‘meals’ a day because otherwise I feel uncomfortably full.

I have been largely side effect free, in the sense that 6 days a week I have zero side effects. HOWEVER, I found that the day AFTER my dose (I dose first thing on Saturdays) I had horrendous side effects, nausea, indigestion, heartburn and churning stomach all day culminating every week with vomiting and diarrhoea in the evening/night.

As a result of this I opted to stay at 2.5mg for my second pen AND I bought additional needle tips so that I could micro dose. This week I have myself a half dose (30 clicks) on Saturday and then a second half dose on Tuesday. This has been massively successful. On Sunday I had a bit of a churning stomach and nausea but nothing else. And today I have a little heartburn this evening but have been otherwise side effect free all day. 🎉

I should also add that I am an emotional eater. I eat for comfort when hurt, angry,stressed or sad. I lost my dad 2 weeks ago and on MJ despite this huge loss and the grief and all the emotions. Aside from one day I've not felt the ‘call’ of any snacks/treats or comfort eating. Which is frankly extraordinary.

should also add, I have ADHD, and for me MJ hasnt just turned off the ‘food noise’ but an enormous amount of my other brain ‘noise’. To the extent that during weeks 1 and 2 I felt uncomfortable in my own head because it was so quiet that I felt almost lonely.

Paulahoust · 03/04/2025 06:32

Starting weight - 13st 4lb
Current weight 12st 10lb
Lost 8lb

2nd weigh in I lost 2lb so I'm really happy as moved my jab day so went 9 days in-between my 1st and 2nd, feeling better in myself but still can't get out and do any walking as still recovering from a broken foot 🙄

GameOfJones · 03/04/2025 07:44

@soupforbrains I'm very sorry about the loss of your dad. 💐

An early weigh in for me this week as I'm on holiday from next Friday so am going to move to a Thursday weigh in this week and next. I've lost 2lbs.

SW pre MJ: 15st 1lb
SW on MJ: 14st
CW: 13st 1lb

I've lost 13lbs in 4 weeks on MJ which is amazing! It also marks being 2st lighter than I was last summer. But the thing I am overjoyed about is that I'm now officially overweight rather than obese as my BMI has dropped below 30 for the first time in 5 years!
