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

Really haven’t a clue @morbidcuriosity

the £114 is only cc and obv will go up to the 10 price

Was it £114 after first time user code @Blondeshavemorefun? Was that for 10 mg

morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 09:38

@Azuresky68 If i remember correctly its £154 for 10mg. you pay £114 then once they have approved you pay the rest, its an odd way they do it, but i thought well if i can get another 10 for that price i dont mind jumping through the hoops!! but getting close to sept 1st now, so bit worried tbh..

This

so I think the 5 is £114 with code @Azuresky68

juniper replied saying front naked tummy pic is ok and someone will be in contact

morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 10:37

@Blondeshavemorefun I keep checking my messages to see.. If they dont accept my ones im gonna say dont worry about it then. I don't want it to get to monday and they say, approved you now owe £200.. so fingers crossed they look and approve today, then ill have to see how to cancel the subscription.

morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 10:53

So they have replied saying I would have to lock into their maintenence policy as bmi is low.. I've messaged back saying if I can't have a 10mg pen at price quoted then refund me, I need more time to think about it before the Sept increase. So looks like I will be getting my money back from them. I'm not saying I consent to anything I've not read the terms and conditions too..

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 11:02

They text @morbidcuriosity and send you a link. Which you reply on like a wats app

They said as im healthy bmi of 23 they would prefer me to be on 7.5 to maintain even tho i may still lose weight

he asked if i lose weight at the moment and i said i had been losing alb or so a week usually or sts

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 11:04

So now do I take a 7.5 off then and get a discount and scales lol - as was going to try and drop to 7.5 hip depending

or cancel. I have a new 10 I start Tom and have an iq 10 on the way apparently

so that’s 2mths so maybe a 7.5 wouid be ok

what do you all think

OP posts:
morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 11:10

I have my 2 x 10mg pens now from IQ, just being greedy wanting another.

he said i should do 1 x 5mg then 2.5 going forward.. I just said if I cant have the 10mg now then just refund me my money., my bmi is 22.5 i think

If i was you I would get the 7.5 i think.. I forgot I ordered another 7.5 from Oushk coming on 9th sept that ive paid for, so im all good if juniper start to play games with me..

i just wanted a quick easy extra 10mg before the price increase, turns out not so easy.. lol

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 11:27

Same lol. Plus if get an extra 10 I do r mind micro ans using as a 5 - but j didn’t say that ha ha

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 11:28

As I seem to be losing weight as I was happy with 11s and now lower at 10.7 that’s half a stone diff when not really trying

happy to be on a lower dose financially but it’s still more the pain issue for me. It really helps. It’s weird

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 11:32

Iq arrived via Royal Mail. So that my spare 10 so happy now that I’ve agreed 7.5 then if pain is bad I can go back up to 10 surely …….

@Blondeshavemorefun @morbidcuriosity I have jumped on your juniper bandwagon this morning!
I hope they sort it before the price rises kick in, then I will also want to cancel the subscription as I wont need another pen for a while being on my mini doses😉

morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 11:36

@MabelSpan send half naked belly out pics straight away, saves delays..

My original plan was to maintain on 10mg for a few months before trying to do less, but i may save a 10mg pen and do 5 from it after my 7.5..

I used a 5mg pen for a 2,5 top up to 12.5 last month and did 10 weeks out of it, kept in fridge, didn't care! was all good!

MabelSpan · 28/08/2025 11:40

@morbidcuriosity I did! Someone somewhere on MN said these belly out pics should be thought of as a punishment for them to look at or something like that, which made me laugh and I felt quite good as I sent them my awful jelly belly pics in! Hahah!😄

morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 11:41

Been refunded as i wouldn't consent to their maintence plan, they said consent and it reviews in 3 months.. I was thinking if I consent to that they may screw me over for 3 months at sept prices... Im not risking that.

That's fine, I have my 10mg pens in my fridge, my one I'm using and 3 new ones in total, and a 7.5 from oushk coming sept.

I said that! I definitely see it as a trade, they have to see me stood in my granny pants pulling a daily mail sad face and for that they get to get rich, that seems fair 😆 it’s danger money or a trauma payment.

What you said really tickled me😅, so when I took my pics today, I made sure to do my best most flabby, wrinkly, saggy pose posssible.
Trauma payment - perfect!😂

FurForksSake · 28/08/2025 12:03

Oushk have just approved my prescription. I thought I had two due now and one in October but it must be the other way round. I did get a separate email about continuing on the same dose.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 14:10

@MabelSpan def send naked belly pics 😂 but they are quick in replying and will see how quickly I get my 7.5 now been approved

yes def better belly pics now then last year

@morbidcuriosity it does say you can cancel anytime so …….. and you do have a good stash 😂

juniper have done me a plan saying 7.5. Then 5. Then 2.5. I will prob cancel once got own

OP posts:
morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 14:22

@Blondeshavemorefun that's good you've seen you can defiantly cancel. they wouldn't let me have 10mg though, they said with BMI I need to start going lower, so 5mg, then 2.5 then 2.5 . So waiting for refund now. oh well. was worth a try..

Its nice not to be fat enough though!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 14:23

Why wouldn’t they give you 7.5 like me ?

OP posts:
morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2025 14:35

not too sure, didn't question it, was worried as wanted it all done and dusted by tomorrow as didn't want it trekking on into september.. too late now anyway as refund is processing. I didn't like the wording when he said about the maintence plan and confirming I consent to it either. just over cautions i suppose.

I have enough to see me a while now though and can always get 1 or 2 more from Oushk if needed.. but these prices im looking to come off now, I would of stayed on forever otherwise!

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 14:42

Yes they may find many will come off /drop to Low dose as just can’t afford it

thank god we did it a year ago and met you all 🥰😘

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/08/2025 17:26

Worked out my costs for the last year

to lose almost 7 stone

15/8 131 med e - 2.5
30/8 154 med e - 5
15/9 164 med e - 7.5
24/10 194 med e - 10
24/11 193 med e - 10
29/12 158 iq - 12.5
7/2 162 Ousch - 15
19/3 162 iq - 15
23/4 174. Ousch - 15
3/6 144 Ousch - 10
23/6 144 Ousch - 10
11/7 144. Ousch - 10

1924

£1924 / 365 -= £5per day - £160 a month - or £37 a week

£37 a week doesn’t sound bad does it when you add it all up

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 28/08/2025 17:52

That sounds more than reasonable really, you’ve done well!

I stayed with Voy for far too long, which does have the bonus of making the price rises seem not so awful 😆
