Late April ‘25 starters - thread 5

[wlinewbie0425]

Creating this in advance, as the old thread is suddenly moving quickly due to recent events. No matter what challenges lie ahead we are still making amazing progress - so let’s keep supporting one another along the way as we approach 4 months ‘on the pen’.

I think this is a good idea and also have this in the back of my mind!

My plan for this is that I’ve moved to Swift doctor as their maintenance rules are that existing customers who move to maintenance and come off MJ are allowed to come back and order another pen so long as it’s within 12 months and they are not underweight. (Only at 2.5mg understandably) If my weight starts to creep back up when I try coming off I don’t want to have to wait until I’m obese again to be able to access MJ.

Great loss @Crunchymum 🎉

My pens are all long dated 01/27 mostly, I think one is 11/26

Once it all calms down I'm going to ring my usual pharmacy, explain my extra pens and ask for the 12 month break to see how I go. Within those 12 months I can go back without my BMI being over 30 again.

@wlinewbie0425 thanks, that’s good to know as I’m with Swift now too 👍🏻👍🏻

I haven’t tried to order pens since the announcement. I’ve been getting my pens from Expert Weight Loss, quite expensive but it included a frog consultation with my wonderful local pharmacist every month. I’ve just ordered my next pen and it was £297 for 10 mg. Huge price hike. Can someone help by RT as s

Sorry my keyboard keeps moving around the screen. Can someone please post the name of the comparison website and the link for golden dose pens. I need to change my supplier and make this gold dust pen last!

It’s https://monj.co.uk/discount-mounjaro-price-list/

And these are the ones often recommended but any 1ml syringe with 8mm needle and 30/32g thickness seems to work.

I love the idea of a frog consultation @Zebracat 🤣🐸

But hope you manage to find a more suitable price through monj 👍

Well done @Crunchymum, @toobusytoclean and @Chunkysewist, great losses 👏

Great loss @Crunchymum

@GoGoGovy I've got November and December 26 and February 27

@Zebracat I use the ones @wlinewbie0425 linked, as she said any similar will work just make sure you order from a pharmacy or medical supplier. Don't order from amazon or ebay they are not sterile and not human use medical grade.

Morning lovely losers. Weigh in day for me and I’ve lost 3lbs this week. Fist time in a month or so that I’ve lost a decent amount. I moved up to 6mg last week, so that seems to have worked.

Starting Weight - 12st 7.5 - BMI 31.1
Current weight - 10st 0.9 - BMI 25.0

% age of me gone - 20%!

Well done to everyone on the losses. It’s a privilege to share this life changing experience with you all.

I ordered what would be my normal pen from pharmacy2u. It went through to consultation and has Sat there. I got a email saying it would be longer, but nothing yet. Then I realised that the payment which is always pending until they have actually sent the pen had disappeared from my bank account.

Does this mean that they won't be sending it? Do you think they have cancelled it?

My 10mg pen arrived today from chequp.
Now waiting for SheMed to hopefully ok my early order so I can get the pen before price hike. Then I'm hopefully done buying mj.
No weight loss this week 😔 first time on my whole journey. But I'm still over 3 stone lighter so hopefully I'll be in for a whoosh next week. This is the weight my body is always stubborn at. I was hoping mj would change that. My body likes this weight but I don't 🤣
Well done everyone on your losses.

@AbundanceofKatherines Fab loss!! 20% is a huge change and wow you're so close to being under 10st!! fingers crossed you hit that next week!

@Megsdaughter my order was from pharmacy2u and it did take a while. Keep an eye on your account, I didn't get any emails for a while from them and only noticed the order progressing and them asking for more photos on the account. Then got a bunch of emails all at once so I think their system was overwhelmed with all the orders.

@Merlin23 yay for pen arrival! mine also has a weight it likes to stick at and bounces straight back to after previous weight loss attempts. It's not going to win this time, I am determined to take back control

Hi everyone checking in since the big price update, I was paying much more than many of you as was through a private GP( £150 for 2.5mg and £160 for 5mg) so didn’t get any offers. As I’m now under bmi 30 I dont meet criteria to move online, however my Gp did state they will try to keep the price frozen for as long as possible but no clue if that means beyond the 1st sept. I only lost 0.5lb this week , it’s really slowing down for me now ( 5.5lb in total last month) but my calories are ok so not sure what’s going on. I have massive suppression on 5mg, I’m due a dose tonight but going to put off to tomorrow or Sunday as I have no urgency to eat ( although I am) and I’m out for food tonight and would like to enjoy some without the sick feeling Iv gotten last few weeks on day2/3 after 5mg.
not sure how many more pens I’m going to use, ideally another 1stone to lose but it may be snail pace at this rate now which could be very expensive! I did the golden dose on last pen and will do on this pen too to get another week! Such a shame the price is going up as it’s really at the maximum of what I can just about afford as it is now. I could be finishing much earlier than expected now as I know are other people’s thoughts too. So appreciate of everyone’s journey on here and so proud of all your success xx

Bonjour!!!

Thanks for the new thread.

I got an email from MedExpress re new prices. I will share the pic.

Not great, but also not as scary as I thought. Looks like I will be paying £200 rather than the £150 I’ve been paying so far.

@cannyvalley thanks for posting those.

I've had my pen delivered from pill sorted, so I'm ok for another month but my Your Medicals one is nowhere to be seen and have seen quite a few bad reviews since ordering 🙈 I go on holiday next week so I've messaged them to just cancel as nobody will be here to accept the delivery. They haven't responded to that yet. Think I'm going to be in the situation of having a pen I can't use and wasting the money spent on it ☹️

These were the confirmed prices as of the 19th. Don’t think it’s already been posted, sorry if it has.
Still waiting for SheMed who I am with to say what they’re doing.

Like @nearlyhadenoughposted, Reddit is good for updates across all pharmacies ahead of new pricing. They’ve got loads more on already and updating as they are announced.

SW 17.7

wk 18 loss 2lb
total loss 2st 12lb

Another 2lb off this week and I can really feel it?!
Had lots of compliments this week which is lovely ☺️ and trousers I only managed to get into a few weeks ago are getting very baggy already!!!
My pen from Medexpress that I ordered last Friday is still saying ‘awaiting clinical review’ so I’m hoping 🤞🏻 for an update on that in the next few days!!!!
I’m still on 3.75mg from the 5mg pen and that’s giving me plenty of suppression so I’m hoping to stay on that for the foreseeable future!!!
Well done everyone on your losses and NSV’s!!
Have a fab week everyone 🤗

Also Medexpress offer a 35% discount on your first order if you have a Blue Light card - I discovered this AFTER I’d placed my first order!!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

That is good info If i need to use it i will

Really poorly tummy since 5 am.
On the plus side I'm 2lbs down. 😆

Whaaaaat I don’t know this 😭😭😭😭😭

I looked at this when making first order but it ended up slightly less of a discount than just using a friend’s code so I didn’t. Might be more advantageous when new prices kick in perhaps if it’s still a %.
