When to start - holiday in 3 weeks.

[YummyBelicious]

After months of deliberation I've decided to go for it and try WLI.
I do go on holiday 19/7 for a week.
Should I just wait till I get back, or start now and take one dose a few days late on return from holiday.
I feel nervous to start but also now I've decided feels like I want to just get going - any and all advice welcome - thank you

Personally, I’d get started as soon as. I only wish I’d known about it the second it was licensed in the UK!!

You won’t know how you will respond until you get started but I actually lost a stone in my first 3 weeks. You can take the pen on holiday with you or move jab days around slightly.

The only thing I would say though is, if you’re going to start asap, order NOW as some pharmacies take aaaages to get your first dose out due to the extra checks needed and then it would be getting close to your holiday.

Good luck and well done for making the decision to change your life!!

I started a week before my holiday and was really glad I had. I was able to keep a lid on my eating and drinking, which actually enhanced the whole holiday experience. I also came back from holiday (2 weeks) half a stone lighter instead of half a stone heavier!

I would just get on with it asap - you’ll know by then whether you have any side effects and whether you would prefer to take a break for the holiday week.

I am now in week 10 (9 1/2 weeks in) and have lost 1st 10lbs with minimal side effects and a lot less effort than conventional dieting. I hope it works as well for you.

I started a couple of weeks before my hols last year and I am so glad I didn’t wait. I still ate and drank but in moderation and even lost a couple of pounds whilst away. It was quite easy to take my pen on the plane.

Just go for it!

If you’ve got it now then why not! :)

Not WLI’s but I started intermittent fasting a week before a 2 week holiday. It was actually the best decision ever because I kept it up while away, continued to lose weight and now I’m more than two and a half stone lighter!

If you are keen to get started and concerned about gaining more weight, go for it!

I’m in the just get going camp too. I knew I was going to be on it for at least a year, so I’d have to navigate holidays, birthdays, Christmas etc whilst taking it.

I would start now but I wouldn’t take a dose late I would just take it weekly from the beginning.

Start now. There is always a holiday, a birthday, Christmas, another excuse not to get going. that’s just life!
I lost weight on a recent holiday and didn’t gain anything on a business trip with many meals abroad.

I started one week ago and leave for holiday on the 18th. I’m 3.5kg down, and hopeful to lose another couple of kilos. And keen not to go mad on holiday! Go for it.

You could be half a stone lighter by the time you go on holiday - just go for it! I’m going on holiday the same day and plan to keep taking mine while I’m away.

I’d start now. If you were going in 3 days, maybe not. But 3 weeks is plenty of time to find out how you react to the medication and get started with a new way of eating.

I started just before heading off to travel around South America and was delighted I did because I was already nearly 4kg lighter when I left and 7 when I came back - enough to be more comfortable on planes. And i had a lot of reduction in pain and inflammation. I also enjoyed the holiday more not being so hungry all the time.

Start now. You need to start changing your relationship with food - including on holidays.

I would start now. 3 weeks is enough time to get through any initial bad side effects. If your holiday had been in a week then I would have waited.

Now for sure! I’m two weeks in and maybe getting close to 7lb down. Minimal side effects and going to stay on 2.5mg next month as I’m off on holiday in 3 weeks from now. I don’t think it will impact holiday enjoyment at all. I actually feel pretty good on MJ tbh - better gut health, reasonable energy levels etc.
