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

@FurForksSake you look stunning, it's incredible.

My Dh keeps looking at me and saying "you're so pretty" I'm not, I'm 67, but it's so lovely. I know that he is also excited with the prospect of a more fulfilling and active retirement. He said to me the other day that he was secretly worried about my health before, but bless him he never said anything.

Like everyone else I'm so happy that we started a year ago, and gutted for newbies. With the talk about the manufacture reducing the amount of liquid in the pen to stop the golden dose, as well as the price rises, the cost would have been prohibitive for me.

I'm still waiting for Zava to announce their prices in the hope that I can limp on until after Christmas when I should be at goal. Another 1.5 stone to go. That will be 7 stones off, a whole person. It's a miracle, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Weepixie · 24/08/2025 05:07

@MissFancyDay - re not being pretty.

Listen to your husband and start to believe him.

And as for being 67 - like me and AzureSky - your just a young thing ❤️

Addictedtobeauty · 24/08/2025 06:46

@Weepixie I think the information you are referencing is for the vials of Mounjaro which are single use only. The pen is a multi use device and has different storage requirements.

How should the Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) KwikPen® be stored?

@FurForksSakeYou look totally fabulous ❤️

Azuresky68 · 24/08/2025 07:33

@MissFancyDay how lovely that your husband voices his appreciation...we are never too old for that 😍

Azuresky68 · 24/08/2025 07:38

Ooops... I didn't mean to cause confusion about pen temperatures! I did say 'it was my understanding' so it sounds like i understood wrongly 😟

Azuresky68 · 24/08/2025 07:50

@FurForksSake I love your outfit! The cropped checked jacket is so cute and the denim really is a great wardrobe basic. I've got some stuff arriving from H&M soon plus some Vinted items...Cropped fuschia Monsoon cardigan for £1.50 and cornflower blue M&S cardi for £3.60. They are for cooler evenings on our winter sun holidays 😎

20bloodypounds · 24/08/2025 08:17

@FurForksSake you look amazing, but importantly you look really happy and confident - glowing!

Azuresky68 · 24/08/2025 08:22

It's my one year anniversary today and I am .6 of a pound (point 6) over my revised target of 8 stone 7.
I got to 8 stone 7 in June for my daughters wedding but didn’t stay there.
It's been so hard getting these last pounds off.

My original target was 9 stone.

Wish I had listened to you @Blondeshavemorefunand increased to 15 mg ages ago!! 😢
I managed to stretch to 8 days before jabbing too. Before I was jabbing every 6 days.
No point in having regrets though, every day is a new day.

Will post some before and after pics this week.

Happy Sunday everyone x

lookathatbookcase · 24/08/2025 09:32

Just a note to say that I have been going hog-wild on Vinted, stocking up on some size 14s whilst stalking some 12s. Really nice to start building a new wardrobe whilst thinking about what suits my new shape.

On NSVs - I'm also hitting a sweet spot in weightlifting where I'm losing weight but getting stronger. After struggling with dead hangs (just hanging from a bar) for ages, i finally got the hang of them this week and managed to do repeated knee raises too! Maybe not very interesting unless you're my personal trainer, but I'm so excited to get even more stacked and eventually be able to do full pull-ups!

FurForksSake · 24/08/2025 09:50

@lookathatbookcase I am very impressed and jealous of the weight lifting! I wish I’d done that before I knackered my body this time. I really hope in time I can get my body fixed and then I’ll be brave and get back to the gym and get sorted.

MrsHerbs79 · 24/08/2025 09:50

So just tried to order a new pen with Oushk……….who I’ve used from more or less the beginning and nothing in stock 🤯🤯🤯

lookathatbookcase · 24/08/2025 10:25

@FurForksSake Honestly I love it so much - so exciting to see your body change and tiny biceps become slightly-less-tiny biceps. I go to a gym which specialises in female training, so are all clued up on peri/menopause, how our bodies shift over time, and so on. Hope you're able to find some time in the gym when the time comes!

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/08/2025 12:21

Happy anniversary @Azuresky68 and you got to 8/7 then using 15?

@MrsHerbs79 are you on their Circle community/forum/thing? They've been updating on what's coming in and out of stock and if you set it to get email notifications you should hopefully get an email when/if they have more stock this week.

@MrsHerbs79 what strength was that ?

Hi Addicted and thank you for that.

Truth be told I think they’re very much erring on the side of caution, that the guidelines have been set to cover the manufacturer and they know there’s leeway within it. I don’t think it’s feasible for suppliers to ensure the conditions laid down re temps are met during delivery though I will admit I think it strange that DHL can get mine to me in 48-60 hours after dispatch and that when it arrives the ice blocks are still have frozen - yet RM seem to struggle with getting it a hundred miles up the road at times.

MrsHerbs79 · 24/08/2025 16:46

Wingingit11 · 24/08/2025 16:00

@MrsHerbs79 what strength was that ?

7.5mg……I’m on 10mg just now but only 5lbs away from target and I’ve got a full 10mg to use. Hoping to be at target by time that’s done and then move down xxx

Addictedtobeauty · 24/08/2025 16:53

I completely agree with you @Weepixie - over cautious to protect themselves- and I don’t blame them. In reality, we’ve all had a great experience with this amazing medication and I’m sure there have been many rules bent along the way. I’ve definitely used every drop of medication and extended the life of pens due to microdosing with absolutely no ill effects. Not advocating for nor judging anyone else doing the same. We’re all adults. And very supportive ones at that.
