Following on from thread 1 - !

w1 D1
Just done it - not skinny yet
Actually doing it was much easier than injecting my diabetic dog. Much easier than I thought it would be too. I was surprised at how far I had to spin the thingy to get the 1 to appear in the window but it makes sense now.

I went for tummy in the end - was going to do thigh but my tum was saying "use me while I am here"

I lost 3.5kg in 36 hours after peeing for Britain. There’s no way it was fat in that short amount of time. Plus my after work cankles are a lot less swollen

I have a question, maybe I am being dumb here.

So on Monday I twisted the dial all the way to the 1, then pressed the plunger in and it went all the way back in. So on the next dose do I twist all the way to the 1 again (for 1 dose) or do I twist it to a 2 (for second does)

@tocktik I hate to be the one to tell you but your lbs to stone conversions are incorrect. I only noticed because your starting weight is where I am now.
Amazing losses I hope I follow the same trend.

I was thinking the same when I started, so not being dumb!!

it’s to the 1 everytime - 1 = 1 dose.

Thank you!

Got approved Sunday from Med Express, still hoping it’s going to arrive before the bank holiday 🙏

What did it feel like?

Nothing! I do have a huge tyre for it to work through ...
2 hours later I have a small red dot where I injected so I can see where that was but not even as irritating as a gnat bite
Although at the very word injection my left upper arm is aching and it was nowhere near there - aren't brains incredible

W1 D4 and I am starting to feel the appetite suppression more. Have only managed half a protein yogurt and some granola, and coffee. Have 2 eggs ready to boil in the next hour. Only SE has been tiredness in the evening so I'm going to bed earlier and waking earlier. Maybe MJ has finally made me into an early bird instead of a night owl! A few headaches but nothing major... Probably dehydration. Mood is much better... But then I'm on the 1st day of school holidays (am a school counsellor). Happy enough so far.

oh - I have a MedExpress £40 voucher code if anyone wants to pm me for it. 😁

I’ve been peeing for Britain too! The consequence of this on W1 D5 is a loss of 1kg (2.2lbs).

I have only done my first dose too, so I’ll be interested in the replies to this. That said, I expect will go to a number 2.

Yes twist to 1 again for next dose

Oh really. I’m surprised. I think 1,2,3,4 would make sense 🤷‍♀️

It’s one dose. The dose dial only goes up to 1 as that is the full dose. I don’t know whether the pens are different depending on providers but mine isn’t a digital read so I don’t understand how you can think the dial can go all the way to 4?

My first dose (D6) has definitely worn off today. I had to have an ‘emergency’ Mars bar. I wanted it and it didn’t taste peculiar either.
I’m tempted to take my 2nd dose tomorrow morning instead of tomorrow evening. I’ll try to hold off.

@NotsosunnyShropshire there's no particular reason to..I took mine 12 hours early as I could feel the old urge to snack and didn't want to blow it.

Re the dial thing .it's a manual device..as you wind it up, it tells you when you get to the full dose. It can't register 1,2,3,4 because each time the plunger goes back to when you push it in.

I’m less than 24 hours in admittedly but I am pretty astonished so far. I feel like a different person food wise.

Wow! Great going! What are your plans re dosing now ? Have you had many side effects on 2.5mg? Are you going up to 5mg? Im finding I have a day feeling sleepy and achy, then 2 days of suppression then begin to want to eat a bit more so noting really bad , therefore feel I should prob go up - just not sure if I should try 3.75mg first! 😬

I’ve ordered the 5mg however they sent me 6 needles with both pens so I might try to get the “golden dose” out of this pen on Sunday/Monday before I start on the stronger dose.
I have had very few SE on this but I’ve been avoiding anything spicy or too rich as that gives me really bad diarrhoea. I’ve also had the weird achey neck thing and been a bit more keen to get to bed early which I don’t think is a bag thing for me!
If I don’t do the golden dose I will need to hold off until weds PM to do the 5mg shot next week just so I can wfh for a couple of days as a precaution!
I do float around the March thread and most who have moved up to 5mg seem to have quite positive experiences.

I’m wondering if it’s worth taking my second dose a bit early 🤔 my thinking being that if I’m someone who’s not very responsive to mj then I’ll want to move up to 5mg a bit quicker anyway, and at the moment I don’t feel it’s doing anything for me. I might weigh early and if I’ve had a (would be very surprising) loss then I’ll just wait til my planned day, and if no change then maybe I’ll take dose 2 tomorrow night/Friday morning..

I can’t decide if I should go straight up to 5mg or try 3.75mg either. I’m similar and have so far had ok results slow and steady (4th does this Friday) but I do notice hunger returning so think I do need to move up. I’m nervous about it not agreeing with me but the reason I think i want to go to 5mg is so I get the full effect for a few weeks before I go away but I can’t decide

The March thread is one I watch too! I've just looked in my diary and there always seems be to an event to get navigate that makes me a bit nervous of increasing my dose! I think I'll do the same as you but I've read that some have managed to get 0.9ml out as a golden dose from the first pen which would be 3.75mg (I think!) - so that might be a nice stepping stone dose to see how well I tolerate it!

@TC4 @Ofcoursehesthefkingfarmer Keep me posted ! xxxx
