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

A company called pharma something their prices are much lower than O.

I am wondering if they’ve put up their prices a little high to then drop them in a month or so and regain lots of old customers back

It depends so much on your build too though. Dd is on track to be about 5 foot 10 and 9 stone if she carries on her current trajectory. I'm 5 ft 2 and haven't been that weight since I was about 12. It's not because she eats well or exercises, that's just the way she arrived. It has its own problems though. Her trousers don't stay up and she hates wearing belts.

Timetochange24 · 26/08/2025 21:04

I wonder how long the price hike will last. If people stop ordering, the pharma company is going to want them back!

I'm feeling back on the MJ wagon today. Went back up to 11.25 and even after some horrible days at work and home I can't comfort eat. My sad brain is really fighting to tell me chocolate will help but my food brain is definitely in charge.

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

I looked at Juniper but couldn't figure out how to order? It asks for £189 payment before you have the consultation and before you say what dose you want...confused.com!
Cloud, Pharmulous and IQ Doctor shows out of stock in 10 mg on Monji
Lotus and Curate look to have stock in.

Will have a look in the morning 😱

FurForksSake · 27/08/2025 00:32

So they charge you for 2.5 and then change it after consultation and charge you the difference

Weepixie · 27/08/2025 01:02

@poppym12 I'm with you for that last couple of kg 🌺. 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

Ive gone back to basics thinking I may have become complacent about some aspects of my ‘new way of living* but there’s nothing I can put my finger on. My meals are cooked for me, also weighed so I know exactly what I’m getting. I’m active, and now schools have been back for about 10 days I’m out of the house at 6.20 for the school runs I do then again in the afternoon. Granted I’m driving but I do walk/move as well, it’s not open the car door and get the kids to jump in or out type of drop offs and pick ups. It’s different to being at home because at those times of the day I’d normally be watching tv or reading. Anyway, my treadmill gets fixed this week so that’s something and for a change of scenery I started using MFP yesterday rather than my current app. I was never one of the users where the weight just slid off me, it’s taken a very concentrated effort to lose my pound a week and although I’m now bored with it, it’s proved to me I could never have done it alone. I always knew I couldn’t and it’s got me thinking if you now know how difficult it is for you to lose weight, you also have to accept that you’re right about it being very easy for you to gain it, which is why I know that going forward I have to be strict with myself as a way of life.

Ive just sent an email to my prescriber asking when my order was supposed to be dispatched. I thought it was today and was a bit suspicious when I didn’t have a message on my bank card saying it had been used, it’s usually a few minutes after midnight when it happens.

Anyway I sent an email asking about it and checked previous emails and it seems it should have been dispatched on the 24th.

Needless to say I’m wondering what’s going on as the last mail I had was received on the 18th and it was to confirm tthe pen due for dispatch on the 24th would be at the price I’ve been paying since last year.

So let’s see what today brings even email wise.

FurForksSake · 27/08/2025 09:30

Complete change of topic - dry mouth! I mentioned using xylitol melts and I’d report back, well I’m back!

they stick to your gums and I’ve found one either side is needed for all night relief, but they very much do work.

I’ve got some mouthwash to try now too

Weepixie · 27/08/2025 09:52

I had a reply from my supplier - they said they’d been trying my card from the 24th and it was repeatedly declined. Of course it’s nonsense and not just because I’d have been informed by my bank via a text and email of any attempt or actual transaction on my card immediately - and there wasn’t any.

I was then sent an invoice and paid immediately online and I’m told the pen will be dispatched asap. But I tell you this, it’s my last - I’m so over this and I’ll get my son in law to start titrating me down on my next dose. I’m planning on going down every two weeks and will then spend another 2 weeks on the last dose.

And I’m sitting here laughing because I’ve been having palpitations since the price rise. Not because it was going to be a problem for me even though I was a bit peed off - I was having palpitations reading about you lot trying to get pens and being worried about coming off the Mounjaro. 🙈

My IQ just says pending? It’s went from red pending to green pending but can’t see anywhere that it says anything else? Xxx

PoemsForTea · 27/08/2025 13:37

The 3 x 10's I ordered from Oushk on the 14th have just been approved. So my plan may work!

morbidcuriosity · 27/08/2025 13:39

IQ Doctor pulled through in the end.. ordered a 2 x 10mg bundle 10pm thursday 14th.. sent out yesterday at 14:20, just picked it up from post office now, had to redirect to post office as am all day at work, but managed to grab it on my lunch break.
so anyone waiting on IQ, looks like they are going through the back log!!!

WorriedRelative · 27/08/2025 13:55

So after apologising for not dispatching my order and asking when they can rearrange for, oushk have now told me it was sent out already and will arrive tomorrow.

I need to be in another city for work. DH has a doctors appointment and a vet appointment so can't wait in.

Which is why I had done specified date delivery!

morbidcuriosity · 27/08/2025 13:59

@WorriedRelative can you redirect it to post office, this is what i have to do for most of mine as i work full time, shift hours so never really home to get parcels..
