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

Awww thanks. They are sucky in vests from Tik Tok - highly recommend as a base layer. Shorts are cycling shorts. Wouldn't wear these for anything but cycling though.
I got a fabulous pair of M&S white denim shorts in the sale £12.50
Even at my biggest last August I managed to disguise my tummy where most of the fat gathered!

Azuresky68 · 25/08/2025 14:04

The mistress of disguise! Hiding my tummy here! Last year in September so will have lost a bit by then...started 24th August so will be a bit under 11 stone here.

I am wondering if they will allow maintenance plans in the future?

MissFancyDay · 25/08/2025 14:10

@Azuresky68 you look fabulous.

My BMI is 26.1 at the moment and when all the fuss dies down and everything is running smoothly again I will switch supplier for reaching goal and maintenance. I've got another stone and a half to lose.

Is everyone on here that is planning to maintain for a while still using Oushk? Or are there other pharmacies out there with flexible plans. I'm going to start my research.

Azuresky68 · 25/08/2025 14:11

Its so annoying that people have to go through verification process before getting turned down 😡

Thank you. I realky hope we can get it on maintenance. It would be great if we can share our research. I am BMI 24 now.
I am going onlookers on the long running thread that started before us. Maybe they have figured it out or maybe they will be gatekeeping
Can't say I blame them!

1clavdivs · 25/08/2025 14:17

@20bloodypounds you must be buzzing! I can imagine how amazing that feels.
@Azuresky68 looking damn good, you must feel amazing too.

I hit a major goal today by getting in under 10 stone. Single figures is a big moment for me, I'm not sure I've seen that since secondary school. Only about 3lbs from goal now.

Azuresky68 · 25/08/2025 14:19

@1clavdivs that so exciting 😊 have you shared progress yet? Well done 💐💐💐

1clavdivs · 25/08/2025 14:19

@MissFancyDay I've been a long time Oushk user, though I've also ordered from Pharmulous a couple of times. My plan is to stick with either of those for maintenance (planning to move down to 5mg to make it affordable) but I'll wait to see the prices settle before deciding. My hunch is that once the pharmacies have negotiated and figured out what discounts they can given, the increase on lower doses won't be as preclusive as first thought (fingers crossed).

Azuresky68 · 25/08/2025 14:21

@WorriedRelative great news!

Azuresky68 · 25/08/2025 14:26

So for a recap anyone had success ordering at 24 BMI or under please? Looking at 10 mg but wanting to pay more than £170.
I might order 5 mg instead if I can't get under £170
Many thanks in advance

Lots of lovely progress! I forgot I took progress photos of getting my rings back on! I only started in October I think, but I now can wear them and they spin!

@1clavdivs you look great!! I love the outfit too, it’s so obvious how much style has changed and how much freedom we have now to dress.

PoemsForTea · 25/08/2025 16:40

@FurForksSakeYour ring/fingers photos made me look out an original photo from last august - apologies a Trigger warning for anyone that detests ugly feet - move right along - do not scrolly scrolly!!!
Anyway, I quite like my feet now 😆

Wow! What a difference!

i no longer have swollen ankles, which I had most of the time before. And days like today that are hot don’t massively bother me in the way they did last year.

just went to order another from Simple Pharmacy as a returning customer, but they only offering me Wegovy after I've filled in the form.. do you think its cos of BMI.. even though I've ordered from them before.. how annoying.

I'm still trying to have a little faith my IQ Doctor get shipped tomorrow but i aint holding my breath.

I bet it is due to their stock
