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

@poppym12i couldn’t survive without a roast dinner! It does sound frustrating having a limited range.

I weigh about 8st9 and want to get to 8st7 or a bit below. I am only 5ft2 so not underweight at all. A little bit of me would like to get to 7st13 just for the thrill of it, but I’ve been bobbing around 8st9-11 for ages and I cannot see me being able to lose much more my body just won’t allow it. One of the reasons I’m aiming low is to give me more wiggle room within the healthy bmi range. Also my knackered hips and joints and spine definitely benefit from carrying as little weight as possible.

I injected 0.75ml of 12.5mg yesterday on day 8, I barely ate anything yesterday and have struggled today. No interest at all. I’ve been on 12.5 for ages so it’s a real surprise to have high suppression again; I’ve also got some heart burn and mild nausea, but that might be a change in painkillers.

I didn’t sleep at all well last night, so not doing my arm exercises today, just resting quietly.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2025 15:11

@poppym12the 8s people are short arses 😛😂

sounds like 15 is too high for you if you can’t eat

@Blondeshavemorefuni identify as a hobbit, my hairy toes are my proof.

I think I look shorter now that I am slim, but that might just be me.

I really struggled just then writing slim, I still don’t associate words like slim or thin or skinny with me.

morbidcuriosity · 26/08/2025 15:21

@FurForksSakei know what you mean when you say you want to see 7.13.. I'm the same.. I want to see 10.13 just for the hell of it, but I'm happy with my weight now, it's between 11 and 11.3 . Think I was 11.1 this morning.. I will go for the 10.13 but want to maintain under 11 and half..

@Blondeshavemorefun yes as soon as you got the pen just cancel, that's what I'm gonna do..

Weepixie · 26/08/2025 15:27

Poppy you’re rather lovely yourself 💐

So much of what you’ve said resonates with me, I’m also bored with it now and wanting onto the next stage of life.

Im at target now but I’m going for another 2kgs off, I’ll go down to 83 and even at that I’ll still be 9kgs above my upper BMI. I think thats about a stone and a half but it’s as slim as I want to be and it takes my muscles into account. Not that I’m like Hercules but I do have muscle.

We can set up a wee club together - ‘I’m told I still have a bit more weight to lose but I can’t be bothered’ Im healthy. Im fit. I’m gorgeous! I’m done! 🤣

And what you’ve said about food - I went out for dinner with my children recently and they’d really put thought into where we went but I had to really work hard to show enthusiasm for the menu. I was excited to be there but left to my own devices I’d have said to the waiter - just bring me anything. The kids were saying, ‘we can go somewhere else mama’ and that’s when I had to give myself a shake and get on board.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2025 15:38

Ok done juniper. Even showing a naked belly shot ffs.

used code so got £75 off and a free pair or scales

let’s see what /who gives me a pen first

poppym12 · 26/08/2025 14:56

I'm amazed at the low weights you're all achieving/hoping to achieve! I'm not sure I've been 8 stone anything since I was at school and I never thought I was overweight during most of my adult life (usually btw 9st12 and 10st4) - but maybe I was and never realised......

I still don't have a target apart from 'a few more pounds' which will keep me at or slightly under 11.5stone. I'm concerned that this won't be sustainable, nevermind getting and keeping another stone off.

I'm not able to order any more pens so after 4 more weeks at 15mg, I'll be working down through the pens I have left.

I've been kinda bored with it for a while now too as I never really fancy any particular food, nor do I enjoy it when I eat it. I'm currently only enjoying rice, fruit and chocolate toffee. Obviously that's not all I'm eating but I've gone off cheese, don't eat bread much, the thought of a roast dinner makes me feel sick and I've eaten so many salads I can't be arsed anymore.

You lot are bloody lovely though ❤️.

Sounds as though your dose might be a bit high Poppy.

I often struggle to know what I want to eat when faced with cooking or shopping but normally fancy something when faced with a restaurant menu! Struggling to finish is an issue. I left the bun from my (posh handmade) burger yesterday and DH had to help me with the salad and chips. I made sure I ate the protein though!

Are those prices better than or worse than people were hoping for?

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2025 17:08

So 259 for a 10
tho says get £20 discount but no more free p&p and they were the most costly at think £699/£7 so guessing £245 ish for a 10

I think the new Oushk prices above are with the discount/maintenance code already applied. The prices listed on the website are higher.

Addictedtobeauty · 26/08/2025 17:25

It’s worse than I thought and I think they are really pushing the Wegovy side of the business which I don’t think I’m interested in. They had estimated about £320 for a 15mg on the day tbe news first broke, as a ballpark figure. Without discount it’s coming in at £325. Since then, there has been talk of rebates which do not seem to be reflected - perhaps that’s why the Wegovy is being pushed.
This will give me the kick to start weaning off now- it’s a lot of money.

owlyboo · 26/08/2025 17:25

Ha ha thanks @FurForksSakeim definitely beating my 14yo in stamina this trip so still life in me yet!

@Azuresky68sorry for late reply just checked and they’re denim from George at Asda but I got them from vinted so who knows if they’re still in this season! Well done on reaching target.

sorry life’s hard at the minute @Usernamechangeforthis12 Flowers

another full day today. Already at over 20k steps back to the apartment to shower and then out again! Our poor little legs!

WorriedRelative · 26/08/2025 17:56

I think if that's the best oushk can do they may lose some customers.

I have a decent stockpile and oushk won't expect me to order for 3 months so I can afford to let things settle a bit before deciding for sure.

I'm not switching to Wegovy and the way Oushk and a few other providers are pushing it makes me think they know they aren't competitive on MJ. I suspect the bigger pharmacies will have economies of scale and better negotiating power so may have better deals.

I'll see how the land lies late September and consider an order from another provider that does maintenance. I may consider oushk again when I get to the stage of wanting to come off entirely, as I want the option to go back on, but I plan to taper down and see how I get on first.

Wingingit11 · 26/08/2025 18:12

Oushk have made a lot of money and been good for me but yes suspect the gravy train is coming to an end.
@Blondeshavemorefun are you talking about oushk for that price ?

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2025 19:19

Yes @Wingingit11

prob is not many will do maintenance of 23 or even start again on a healthy bmi

bur if I can get one more pen that they will be 2mths worth and see how things settle by then

poppym12 · 26/08/2025 19:56

I don't think 15 is too high @WorriedRelative. I've been on it a while now and I do get hungry, I just can't think of anything I fancy eating (although I've really enjoyed a curly wurly tonight).

I'm with you for that last couple of kg @Weepixie 🌺. Just seems to be taking ages considering how relatively easily the first 30kg went! I'm not a patient person unfortunately so I'm finding this stage quite difficult.

I'm only 5'8 @Blondeshavemorefun so I doubt 6inches equates to 3 stone in weight!

I'm sorry you're having a rough day @furforkssake. hope tomorrow is better for you.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/08/2025 20:54

Poppy I’m 5 foot seven no way will I ever be 8 stone?
