Roll up, roll up June Jabbers!

Let's become true losers!!

Hi Everyone! So I’m on wk5. I ordered a 5mg pen but only did 2.5mg at the weekend (30 clicks) and today I’ve been hungry so much so that I’ve just eaten a bag of ready salted crisps! 🫣 First pen, I was struggling to eat and now I’m hungry. No idea what’s going on!!! Tempted to take 3.75 this weekend but worried about SE. I don’t understand how I can go from extreme suppression to hunger so quickly. 😬

Well done! Always a good feeling when you see the big numbers move!

Well done! I’m hoping that I can come
down a bracket week. Enjoy celebrating!

Just done my 4th jab of my first pen and there’s no liquid left in it! I thought there would be a golden dose’ or have I done it wrong?

That’s strange. Most people have about 3.75mg left. But I had about 6mg left. People said I must have missed a jab, but we don’t think we did. Perhaps there are some misloaded pens out there! Did you let a lot of liquid squirt out when you primed?

Hey all !
I had my 3rd 2.5 jag on Sunday - and I am literally STARVING !!
had anyone else found it tapered off this quickly ? ost half a stone and I bet it’s all back on !

should I move up to 5 I’m due it next week :)?

I’m also on jab 3 at 2.5 and I’m finding I’m definitely eating more. I am not finding I am more hungry, but I am finding I’m eating larger meals again. I don’t feel as full quicker. I bet I won’t lose anything this week. I’m considering 5mg next but worried about SE. I suppose I could get away with WFH for a couple of days to avoid the 1st 2 days.

I am the same .
i can feel myself reaching for the kids snacks lol .
im worried also but i have only lost 7lbs on this im trying to drink a lot more water as I know this helps but its hard i think I may take the hit and try 5mg x

how do you do the 3.5 anyone able to
help incase the 5 is just too much

I do think that’s it’s important to want to eat something and to also have to use a bit of willpower and aim to develop good habits, and not expect WLI to do it all for you. Total appetite suppression, grim side effects and changing one set of not great eating habits for only eating crisps as a meal are definitely not good foundations for long term sustainable weight loss and change in approach!

I did my 4th injection yesterday, brought forward a day for convenience as I was out all day today. Felt nauseous on and off but did eat fine - overnight oats, chicken salad, some trail mix and a couple of oat milk coffees and didn’t fancy dinner.. I’m staying on 2.5mg. If I can lose 10lb over the next 5 weeks I’d be super happy.

Are you getting enough protein? I generally aim for around 1.2 to 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight per day depending on how much I exercise .Protein reduces your appetite and also makes you feel fuller for longer.

Yeah I would say I am .
no I totally get not to rely on it as much as I could go and eat the fridge I’m not I’m sitting with a cheese string and water bottle lol so I am trying to change my mind set that I am actually not starving it’s just my mind

@Gingercar yes, a lot did come out when I primed it this time. Maybe that’s where it went? Oh well, doubt I would have been brave enough to extract it this time around anyway. Thanks

For those of you considering the golden dose, I've just done mine.

Dead simple. Nowt to be fearful of. I was apprehensive, but absolutely fine.

5mg in the fridge ready to go. I'll be taking half doses, as I'm traveling to the boyfriend's home town and meeting friends and family for the first time in 3 weeks. Can you imagine SE kicking in when staying at his mum's house? 😳

Those who have done the extra dose, how long are the needles you use? How do you make sure you only inject by a few mm like the needles that come with the pen and don’t accidentally go too far and cause issues?

Choose a fat part and inject at an angle if worried. I know my tummy blubby enough for me to inject straight in

Hello! I’ve not posted on this thread before but did start in June.

Did my 3rd jab last night and weighed in just now. I’ve lost 3lb TOTAL - 2lb in week 1, 1lb this week. 1lb is basically nothing, I could put that on in the course of a day I reckon! Anyway I’m not giving up but was certainly expecting a bit more drama in the beginning, particularly has I have to lose half my weight to get down to a health BMI. I think I’m going to stick with 2.5mg though as I am feeling suppression and slight nausea but not an extreme amount. I don’t want to feel sick on 5mg.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Also, jab 5 is scheduled for when we’re on holiday and jab 6 the day we get back. So I was thinking of doing jab 5 two days early so I don’t have to take the MJ with me. Should that be ok?

Thanks!

14 pack 1ml dispensing... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DL38SPTZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have these-recommended from some MN thread @MissMogs

I think I'm only going to use in my tummy blubber for the very reasons you describe.

Joining the under 100kg club 🥳

I had a ‘whoosh’!!
I’ve been alternating between 200-201 pounds for the last 10 days (daily weigher). Today I was 196.5
Half a pound until I’m out of the 14s!
Jab 6 for me tonight. First from my 5mg pen and feel pretty certain I’ll go for 3.75.
Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences (good and bad) - as a secret jabber it’s so helpful to read this thread everyday.

I got these originally but they’re not sterile so ordered these new ones instead ukmedi.co.uk/products/fms-micro-syringe-32g-8mm-1ml-fms-fms-32g-10ml-ukmedi-co-uk?variant=53484951077243

Wow so you’ve lost 13lbs in 2 weeks!? I’ve lost 3lb in 2 weeks. What are you doing differently to me I wonder? I’d be interested to know.

I’m eating vastly less than I was but still eating anything I fancy - I just don’t fancy much.
Doing Slimpod.
Not exercising other than my weekly PT session, that’s down to time but will try and run a couple of K a few times this week I think. I was of the thought that weigh loss is all about food but the only time I’ve ever successfully lost weight before, I was exercising 2x a day without fail so maybe I personally need it.

I do feel smaller and my face is less puffy, I’m pretty sure of that. Might take measurements later but can’t face the disappointment if not much has shifted!

Keep reminding myself it’s a long game 💪🏻

Just need to reorder and don’t want to waste a month on 2.5 if I need a 5… can’t decide!

Also worrying I lose a lot of meds in the priming and my 2nd jab I did standing up and seemed to have leakage out of my body! Jab 1&3 I did lying down which seemed better.

Doesn't that take you waaaaay beyond 30 days, though? More like 60?

I took my first golden dose last night (it was easy!) And there was STILL liquid in the pen afterwards, but I binned the pen because I'm almost at 30 days

Me too!

W5D1 for me.
I'm 0.8lb off losing a stone, going down a big number and having a bmi of under 30.

Very pleased.
But although I've had some NSVs, I seem to have lost almost nothing from round my middle. We go away in less than 3 weeks, so i guess I'm destined to be the fattest bitch on the beach, again 😞😞🥹

Congrats and welcome to the club! 👏
