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

@PoemsForTeacute purses! I know what you mean about cooking 😱

Azuresky68 · 21/08/2025 18:56

@FurForksSake good news about appt! Tomorrow is my official weigh in but looks like I might be 8 stone 9.5 which means 2.5 to go...but who knows what the scales will say tomorrow!

Azuresky68 · 21/08/2025 18:57

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry to hear about the blooming minefield of getting a pen 😱

Azuresky68 · 21/08/2025 19:04

My friend warned me about price rise and luckily I had an active code so I ordered 3 pens x 10 plus I have a new 12.5 ordered a week or so ago. Using up 7.5 but double dosing to 15 to try and lose 2.5 pounds get to 8 stone 7 pounds BMI 24, would like to be 8 st 6 BMI 23.8 or 8 st 5 23.6
Tempted to try IQ now 🤔
There were a few angry people on Oushk FB saying anyone trying to order 3 were greedy 😱 I thought that using the word greedy was pretty insensitive!

Azuresky68 · 21/08/2025 19:05

@Blondeshavemorefun forgot to ask - are you staying on 10 or going down or undecided?

FurForksSake · 21/08/2025 19:09

How are you finding 15? I’ve never gone above 12.5 and like the fact I have almost no side effects. The days of nausea, gas and sulphur burps are gone but not forgotten!

I feel odd that I’m not jabbing tomorrow, I’ve got to 8 days and last week was 9 days. So my day next week is Monday.

ive just taken my lactulose, I keep forgetting until im very constipated. I need to do it daily and just make it part of my routine.

Azuresky68 · 21/08/2025 19:12

Has anyone looked a the thread called 'A calm and supportive thread....about MJ. So many posts about the new price rises. I tried copying the link but it didn't work.

Weepixie · 21/08/2025 19:17

@PoemsForTea your purses are lovely. Do you sell them or are they for your personal use? I find that keeping myself busy helps with my calories and whilst I’m hopeless at sewing, Ive started knitting again and I can sit and do 3 or 4 prem baby hats in a day if I’m not going out or have something else to do.

I also like cooking and I’m looking forward to it cooling down here in about 6 weeks so I can get my veggies started in the garden.

How can your order 3

mine will only let me do 1

I can’t edit it delete the 1 and if I add 2/3 it’s says 12-13 and won’t work

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 21/08/2025 19:39

You can usually then delete the leading one, I think that’s what I did. Apparently you’ve always been able to order 3!

15 was fine for me - did I think 3 x 15

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/08/2025 20:02

They have no 7.5 or 10 but did have 12.5 so I have ordered that but as it’s one up they may say no

can’t get it delivered till 5 sept earliest

I thought maybe I could do 6 x 10 from it so helping save costs

lets se what they will say ……..

@Blondeshavemorefun thats what I did too. Took me a while to work it out though.

I took 15 for the first time last week (2×7.5 jabs) and had no side effects apart from feeling tired. I can remember feeling sick all the time in the early days. I do get constipation but that's from codeine. I take fibre gummies every day but only take lactolose if really bad.

What did you write @Azuresky68

OP posts:
Timetochange24 · 22/08/2025 00:26

Same here @Blondeshavemorefun . It's given me the push I needed to try one last hop upwards to see what bmi 22.5 looks like on my 40+ body. 23.5 is starting to Then over to Wegovy for maintenance and... then we'll see.

Pretty sure it's a year today since I started. 30% of my bodyweight gone, which is more than dd (nearly 9) weighs. It's been a pleasure travelling this far with you all.

@Azuresky68 also intrigued about what you wrote!

Weepixie · 22/08/2025 03:27

@Azuresky68 have you been posting very nice pics of yourself in your shorts again? 🤣

Not this time! I was talking about constipation and mentioned chewy fibre sweetie type things 🤔

Azuresky68 · 22/08/2025 07:18

And to think of all the things we say and talk about on this thread on this thread. It was about constipation!

@Timetochange24 you would think of moving to wagovy? What happens if those prices go up ?

happy one yr

its Amazing to think we have lost a child +

dd is 8.5 and weighs 4.2 and I’ve lost 6.11. Crazy !

OP posts:
Azuresky68 · 22/08/2025 07:31

Anyway I ran to the scales and gingerly got on...drum roll 🥁🥁🥁

I have lost a pound despite being constipated. 1.5 pounds to go. Going up to 15 mg helped me to stick to under an average of 1000 calories this week.
My MJ anniversary is on 24th August..how scared was to do that first injection!
Good luck and best wishes to anyone with Friday as their weigh day. ❤️
Lots of love and appreciation to everyone on the thread 💖🌞💐
