Anyone about to start their very first dose? ?

I'm feeling very full of nerves and butterflies this evening! I'm going to take my very first dose of MJ this evening before bed. I'm excited, but anxious too.

This isn't necessarily a thread about ongoing progress (as there are already a couple for people starting this month), but just maybe to support each other while we take that first plunge.

I'm going to wait until shortly before going to bed, and then I'll do it. I'm mostly nervous about how my body will react, and about side effects.

Best of luck to anyone about to start!

@Bigbus and @HighHeelsHurt Well done both! That's really encouraging. You're both doing brilliantly!
I just weighed myself this morning after 3 weeks, as I decided to only step on the scales every month-ish before I order a new pen. It helps with my motivation if I'm not weighing too frequently. I've lost 6lbs since then, so that's 16 lbs altogether. I'm very pleased. Not fast, but not so slow that I lose motivation.

I've stayed on 2.5 for the second pen, and I'll order another 2.5 for the third I think. I don't get side effect currently, and I do get pretty hungry for meals, which I like, as it means I'm enjoying my food, but also exercising a bit of will power. No cravings though, which is fantastic.

I'm in a strange inbetween size in trousers now. I've put out a few size 16s, as they are too big, but the 14s are too tight. I can get them on but they are not comfortable yet.

@HighHeelsHurt P. S. So we started on the same day, and have pretty much lost the same amount!
