Blondeshavemorefun · 14/06/2025 22:47

Same as me. Not sure what I want tbh tho obv ideally to be off it for costs 😂

so I’m reducing and seeing /hoping I won’t gain and be on 5 for a few months ideally if works

Nice issue to have though!! Who would have thunk all those months ago at the very start of this xxx

morbidcuriosity · 15/06/2025 08:50

I'm gonna use my 5mg to take 2.5 top up, I've decided.. my question to you lovely lot is as I'm going to keep it in the fridge as will go over 30 days.

Anyone inject straight from the fridge? As in cold, or do you let it set for a bit then put it back in the fridge? . I've never injected cold before.

MrsHerbs79 · 15/06/2025 09:48

I’ve injected from the fridge from day one xxx

FurForksSake · 15/06/2025 11:33

I’ve done both; I tend to stick it up my top to warm it up a bit! Cold can be a bit stingy.

20bloodypounds · 15/06/2025 12:52

@MrsHerbs79 I tried to book a maintenance call with Oushk as I was approaching 'normal' BMI, but the first appointment was 4 weeks away (beginning of July) so I'll be nicely in top of healthy BMI range by then. I'm still only on 5mg, so my plan is to take that for the next pen, spreading the doses out a bit, so taking them every 9 or 10 days. I'll see how that goes with regards to appetite and making good decisions. Then I'll go down to 2.5mg - taking it regularly for one month, then try spreading the doses out again. If that's all OK, I'll stop.

I'm a wealking MJ, but tolerating 5mg well. However, I find that I can easily feel nauseated by things. Today I was chopping some cooked chicken for a salad, I popped a bit in my mouth and it had a gristly bit. I was nearly sick and I'm now put off the rest of the chicken :(

I was the same last week with some fish.

Although I'm scared about coming off MJ completely, I am looking forward to having none of these minor side effects.

Aww that’s not good re the nausea. I’ve been with Oushk since almost the beginning but I see they’ve become mega popular as one of the few that do maintenance. I’m on 10mg again. I did one pen of 10mg initially and when went back to 7.5mg as I had horrible side effects. The 7.5mg just wasn’t working for me though so after a month off altogether for my surgery went back to 10mg for my ‘last push’ and have felt fine this time round xxx

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/06/2025 15:43

I say I don’t have suppression but went out for lunch and left well over half of it as was full up

I left half my starter as well. This eating out is getting costly as could prob eat a kids meal for half the price but obv restaurants don’t allow that

but looking back I would easily eat a starter and main as normal but can’t now so guess I do eat less/have suppression

but downfall. Not sure if too oily for me. Had Halloumi Chips not many and shared them but when driving home I knew I was going to be sick and literally had to stop the car .

Open door and 🤮 in the hedge - once sick felt fine. Very strange for me. Haven’t been sick for months - grapes used to do it to me and then the odd curry has disagreed with me.

Oh no…….i love halloumi 🙈

morbidcuriosity · 15/06/2025 13:47

@20bloodypounds I emailed OUSHK asking how i book maintence and they emailed back asking when i was free over the next week between 12 and 2 and they will book.. maybe try emailing them??

And thanks for the tips re cold pen, ill give it a go cold and see how stingy it is. lol

I always inject straight from the fridge, but I do live in a very hot country so most liquid meds live in the fridge. I take the pen out, inject maybe 2 minutes later then put it straight back in the wee fridge in my wardrobe area. I suppose I could leave it a bit longer and let it warm up but I’m not sure how big fluctuations in temp would affect it even though it would never be colder than 24 degrees C as that’s the temp my bedroom Ac is set on. I don’t find cold jabs stingy.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/06/2025 16:49

sorry I’ve been MIA. Haven’t caught up on the rest of the last thread but caught up on what’s on here.

well done on reaching goal and being in the 10’s @Blondeshavemorefunlooking fab in your before and after.

also well done for being a normal bmi @20bloodypoundslooking fabulous!!

@Azuresky68glad your mind has finally caught up with your reflection because you look amazing!

well done @Makelikeatreeandleafalmost there!!!

looking really great @MrsHerbs79well done!

I’ve just got back from a girls trip abroad for a friends birthday. It was so nice not worrying about everyone taking pics. Especially in swimwear. And just feeling super confident. There was 34 of us so plenty of pictures being taken!! It would have been a literal nightmare before worrying what to wear and hiding at the back of photos. So definitely a NSV. Was 2kg up yesterday but that’s gone already so back to my goal maintenance weight so keeping going well!

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/06/2025 22:22

Thanks @owlyboo. I will prob be back in 11 this week 😂

@Blondeshavemorefunthats why it’s nice to have a stop
gap though isn’t it. As long as you’re within your weight window it’s okay to go up and down!

yes it was lovely! 33 girls and one guy. Really nice time. Nights out, dinners, beach day, boat trip… lots of lovely memories! And for once in a good few years I have photos to look back on with fondness!

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/06/2025 00:27

been sorting out my drawers and stuck more stuff on Vinted but nobody buying now

prob with Vinted is that stuff can be there for months so still cluttering up my house

eBay you Hope will sell in 3/5 days time But May sell for 99p but then it’s gone

people do not want to pay a lot

I did well with my 20 stuff

harder with 14/16

that ordered over £100 on Temu for dresses /tops and arrived today

all fitted 😀 tho some I wasn’t sure about the style so returning think 4 but keeping the other 6/7

I’ve said a few times I like Temu. The price and also quality seems ok

got more stuff for dd as well

obv feeling emotional today as watched Fri ee and ended up blubbing over kat and alfie. Not sure why

just about true true and Being together and having a partner in life

which I don’t have

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/06/2025 20:35

Helloooo! Hope everyone’s ok? Well I seem to have a problem….
i went away on holiday on the 26th on May. I jabbed on that date. I’m at target at this point 9”12. Go in holiday gained a pound got it off in two days.
Got a bit cocky didn’t I? 🙈 decided to just stop as I’d run out and was planning on reducing down the doses (was on 12.5). But instead I thought I would see what happened.

6 bloody pounds I’ve put on!!!! 6!!!!!

so I’m going back on the jabs and reducing slowly like I should have done. But what dose do I order?
its been a few weeks so maybe 10? Or 7.5? I need to shift these pound so I do need it to work a bit. But preferably without feeling too ill.

I also can’t poo. I’ve got some dulcolax but I’ve been too scared to take it as I’ve had a couple of busy days where it would be tricky to have an upset tummy. I have a day at home tomorrow so it would be less of an issue if I stuck in the loo. Has anyone taken it and how bad is it likely to be?
