Happy 1st birthday to us all - somewhere in this month we gathered our courage and started what would be a memorable journey for us all - made some hopefully forever friends

Gather round my little auggies 😍 and we are all doing amazingly so be proud of yourselves

the amount of weight per person lost varies from 1-2stone - 3-4 - 5-6 - 7+

in a year or for some 11-11.5mths - I was middle of August - we have totally changed our body shape - reduced our bmi and weight and hopefully improved our health

some are at goal - and working out how to maintain

some nearing it

some still have weight they want to lose

Some have stopped for cost / various reasons and blowing baby dust your way to those who are ttc

but ALL of us have lost weight and I love the fact we are all so supportive to each other over weight and our general day to day lives

maybe if brave - post your before and after pics to see how far we have come in a year

@Blondeshavemorefun oh no! Did you manage to stock up? You only need one code per order.

lookathatbookcase · 16/08/2025 10:07

@Blondeshavemorefun @Azuresky68 What lovely photos of you both!

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/08/2025 10:10

They won’t allow me to order another

Due to an unprecedented surge in demand, we are currently unable to make any changes to existing orders. This includes requests to amend quantities, switch products, or combine shipments.

Stock levels are extremely limited, and all available inventory has been allocated to confirmed orders. To ensure fairness and efficiency, we are processing orders exactly as placed without manual adjustments.

We understand this may be frustrating and appreciate your patience during this busy period. Please rest assured that we are working hard to fulfil all orders as quickly and accurately as possible.

I had a look at a few online pharmacies. We Prescribe has paused ordering for a few days and has suspended discount code. Asda only prescribing to existing customers. Chat GPT said you had to check direct due to latest situation re price and supply.

PoemsForTea · 16/08/2025 11:16

I just looked at pharmacies I'd previously used and ordered a 12.5 from Pharmacy2U. It had £20 off so was £179. Will see if it goes through and how long it takes!

poppym12 · 16/08/2025 11:49

I've been trying to work out when I need to move to maintenance. I'd like to lose another 2.5kg at least and looking at my recent graphs, it's taken me 3 or 4 weeks to lose 1kg.

I'd been on 15mg for a while but moved down to 12.5 last weekend and will do 12.5 again today (I had an old pen about to expire).

I've then got 2 x 15mg pens in the fridge but I don't know how to tackle the cutting down/maintenance issue.

Did those of you who are already maintaining carry on with your highest dose until you got to your target weight (or less) or did you start to decrease doses when you still has a few lbs to lose?

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/08/2025 11:53

I’ve just tried to order another 10 off iq. They won’t accept any discount codes so will be £169 I think

will see if get approved

FurForksSake · 16/08/2025 11:54

I’m 3-4lbs from target and on 12.5, I’ve been bouncing around a bit recently as I am so inactive. I am planning to stay on 12.5, I’ve been on it for months and now will start pushing out towards taking it every 10 days. If I can maintain on that I’ll then move to 10 every 10 days for a while and if I maintain on that for a good 4-6 weeks, go down again.

Azuresky68 · 16/08/2025 12:28

@FurForksSake you are similar to me then on your journey. All the best and fingers crossed. PS I sometimes dip into the clothes thread too..interesting to see what other people wear!

FurForksSake · 16/08/2025 12:33

I’ve been very boring recently, I really enjoy feeling a bit inspired by what other people wear. I’ve just bought some black barrel leg jeans from Sainsbury and some knits for autumn.

morbidcuriosity · 16/08/2025 12:58

@Blondeshavemorefunlet us know when you hear anything. I ordered 2 x 10mg from IQ Thursday evening, still says pending.. I've not ordered from them for a few months but hope they approve and send me 2 pens..

owlyboo · 16/08/2025 13:07

@poppym12i waited to decrease until at target.

Weepixie · 16/08/2025 13:16

@owlyboo Ive planned to start titrating down after I’d been at target for a couple of weeks but I’m thinking to maybe go for another 2 kilos first and not bother if I don’t lose anything on the way down. I want to be off it by mid December.

Also I had a look at my provider today and for Existing UK based customers (not me) they’re offering a bundle of 1x10, 1 x 12.5, 1 x 15 for 775 pounds. One of them is at the current price, the other two are at the new price.

As yet they’ve not told me if my order that was placed 8 days ago, and is due to be Dispatched on the 24th will be at the current price and not the new one. Not that I’m bothered. I’ll get the pen here if it’s the new price and it will be worth the extra 75 pound to say get lost to my supplier. In my mind selling current stock at the new price at all, let alone before the 1st of September is criminal as well as immoral.

owlyboo · 16/08/2025 09:43

@BettyandtheVetsI did two weeks of 15, 12.5, 10, 7.5 and all was good, then when I got to 5mg I did feel unusually hungry so I stuck at 5 for a about 4/5 weeks (I think!) then everything settled down so I switched down to 2.5 to finish out my pen. Which I think I’ve done for around 4/5 weeks (maybe a little more) I took my last dose on Monday so that’s it now. Apart from a few weeks at 5 when I guess the higher doses were all coming out it’s been fine. Haven’t been anymore hungry on 2.5 then I was on 15! So I’m hoping for the same without the jab and my body has adapted 🤞

well done @Blondeshavemorefunlooking lovely, enjoy your holiday and the fb compliments!

well done @Weepixie! I only ever count the whole number so you’re at goal to me!

Thanks @owlyboo ☺️

owlyboo · 16/08/2025 18:19

@Weepixiesounds like a good plan. You don’t want to be paying any longer than you have to at these awful new prices.

no worries @BettyandtheVetshope it goes well!

PoemsForTea · 16/08/2025 18:46

@WeepixieCan I just say you are always so measured and thoughtful. I enjoy your insights, challeneges and planning!

I’m sure there are others! There’s a woman on TikTok who styles a lot of TikTok shop outfits, I can’t remember her account!

Azuresky68 · 16/08/2025 19:41

@FurForksSake love bit of tik tok shop...what are your co-ords shorts and top like?

FurForksSake · 16/08/2025 19:47

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdCrmgPd/ I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to wear them out and about, but they are great for hot days and lounging.

im quite tempted by halara but think it feels over priced.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/08/2025 19:49

@poppym12 I waited till at target

will do @morbidcuriosity

med express have said no to me

Halara have some good sales

Azuresky68 · 16/08/2025 20:04

@FurForksSake liking the two piece...you could always wear top with plain shorts/trousers and shorts with plain top when out and about?

FurForksSake · 16/08/2025 20:08

Yes, they work nicely as separates, it’s surprisingly good weight and not shiny.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/08/2025 20:48

That’s nice but I would never wear horizontal stripes. Even now slim
