September 25 starters

[outofofficeagain]

Anybody else planning to start in September?

I’ve been procrastinating for months but decided to go for it despite the price increases. Waiting for my delivery from Medexpress and planning on 1st Sept start.

Why not just started when you get it?

Don't waste your money. Try pink salt diet

Because I’m away next weekend and would rather be at home for the first week in case of side effects

I only ask because sure given you admit to procrastination, it seemed likely were just doing more procrastinating!

Yes I am! Order due 3rd September. I was wondering if there was a starters thread….

Hurrrah. Yes can I join. Although I have started this week the August thread they are much more ahead of me.

I was a May starter and just wanted to say welcome aboard - it's been such a brilliant thing for my life.

Best of luck & support to you all!

Thank you. That is so good to hear.

welcome everyone. I’ve just had a message to say mine has been dispatched 💥

Hello! After at least a year of dithering, I decided to take control of my weight and go for Mounjaro.v
Boots have taken my money, so I'm now waiting for the text to say it's ready for collection.

@outofofficeagain

Just a thought but you might want to start another thread and call it September 2025 as there is already a thread with the people who started last September.

I’m starting - jabs arrived yesterday and are nestled in the fridge next to the carrots and onions. I’m going to start 1st sept. I’m not massively overweight (BMI 30 so I only just qualified) but I’m struggling with perimenopause and ADHD and I am putting on weight fast. I’m really hoping the MJ shuts out the food noise for long enough to reset me. There is some anecdotal evidence that MJ can be helpful with the impulsive / addictive side of ADHD. My life is falling apart and I’m turning to food for comfort. My diet is good but I have real issues with portion control. Especially with dark chocolate and nuts… I’m excited and I’m excited for everyone else who’s starting too :-)

Hi @Mermaidbutterwagon - I'm also hoping for ADHD improvement. I'm very aware that I use good as a stink and also as a quick diamond hit, so I'm curious to see how it will go.

I haven't actually ordered any yet - I'm dithering a bit about suppliers and price increases, and I wanted to get some health checks before starting, and I just got my blood test results back yesterday.

Can I ask which suppliers everyone had gone for and why?

It's been despatched!

I have ordered my 1st month from an online doctor thing, but going forward I would much prefer to be under my local pharmacist. Am I allowed to change?

How are everyone’s nerves/ excitement levels about starting?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I use Voy as you can get all sorts of advice 24/7 on there .
Pens arrive next day always cold , if you need extra needles they send out free of charge .
They even offer help with recipes .
They give you a referral code to that saves money if someone uses it £50.
I have one at the moment if you need one , you can pm me if you do .
I have been with them 4 months and no issues at all.
Questions answered extremely quickly .

Excited to be taking control of my health by losing weight. Nervous about injecting myself and side effects.

I'm nervous about the money. I dithered a bit about whether to just start on Wegovy, but decided to see how it went with Mounjaro. I feel that things are so up in the air at the moment that it's hard to have a real plan, which I find kind of frustrating. And I think it will take a while to get approved as so many people are doing multiple orders at the moment. It doesn't really seem real yet - I'm worried about side effects, too - I managed to work with hideous morning sickness, so I'm hoping this won't be as bad.

And I just read my first post and realize that it was autorrected into complete nonsense! I wrote it, and have only got a vague idea of what I was trying to write. 😳

Ah no @UnimaginableWindBird I was just about to ask you what using food as a stink and a quick diamond hit actually meant! Sounds like neither of us will ever know

Has anyone got any good meal plans and also an app to track calories and protein reccomendations?

Me too. I thought about Wegovy but if you’re going to pay that much money you may as well pay for the one with fewer side effects etc. Will swap if it doesn’t agree with me though.

I’m worried about side effects but intrigued about all the new articles on ADHD etc. Maybe this really could solve all my problems!

I think I meant that I have been using food as a stim and a quick dopamine hit.

Yes. But what happens without it!
