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.

I prefer Voy over juniper myself .
I have a code for Voy if you send me a pm for £50 off .
Their chat seems be be 24/7 and very good too.

I have been with them a while.
Juniper doesnt even have a chat , well only a robot that cant answer questions.
I was not impressed at all .

Voy have been excellent all the way through .
Next day delivery and always cold.
Also,will send extra needles and swabs free if you need them

Ahh bless you, I understand what you're saying. The thought of the symptoms is what scared me last night as I was about to do the injection. I wish I'd started at the beginning of summer too whilst I've been off for 6 weeks. This morning, I dont feel any different which is making me think I did it wrong or injected it in the wrong site 🫠 so take that as a positive. Not reporting any major symptoms yet! Maybe next friday is the right day?

I’m tempted today….however we’re off on a ‘night out’ next Saturday for a Italian and drinks with friends (first mummy and daddy night out of the year!) and not sure I’ll feel up to it having either just injected for the first time or be due my second one 🙈🙈. So glad you’re feeling okay - no side effects yet? X

When did you order it?

I can't say i feel anything at all at the minute! Convinced I've injected it too close to my belly button 😅 we'll see what happens. I'm starting the healthier eating today either way!

Hmm I wonder if tonight might be a good time to do your first dose? Then next Saturday once you're back from your dinner. From what others say, it starts to wear off towards the last couple of days so you may be able to enjoy your meal as normal!

I did mine yesterday and don’t feel any different either. I’ve definitely administered the dose correctly - the pens make it difficult to get this wrong. Apparently effects can kick in when you go up a dose, though.

I totally get the fear about the side effects and am still feeling a bit apprehensive myself!

Thats interesting, maybe it takes a while to kick in! Not that I want any symptoms 😅 I'd just like to know I've done it okay. It looks like a dose has gone and its definitely more than 5cm from my belly button - this was my worry this morning 😅 whacked the tape measure out and it certainly looks more than 5cm! I'll go further across next time!

I've felt fine since I had my dose on Thursday... did have a little soreness where I injected for a couple of hours afterwards.

I went to the gym yesterday evening... bike, weight machines & cross trainer... felt a more tired than normal, so went to bed earlier than I usually do.

When I woke up in the early hours of this morning to go loo, mt felt funny... I think I had dry mouth. I had a couple of sips of water and felt fine afterwards.

@Absolutelycluelesss you're always going to have activities / events in your life, so I think you should just bite the bullet and get the first dose over & done with. Let it become part of your normal life. Remember side effects can happen with any medication.
Also, from what I've researched (MN, Facebook groups, reddit) it seems that a lot of people have a reaction when they move up from 2.5mg to 5mg.

Here are the videos I watched:

This one is good too, because it shows the placement of the pen against the tummy. But it is missing the step that the needle needs to be screwed on to the pen

Well I guess I better join as I’ve just done my first dose, approx 30 mins after it arrived 😂

Ordered with Juniper on Tuesday night and delivery today. Really impressed with them so far, feel free to PM me for a discount code or more info.

Starting weight 14st 9, height 5ft 2. Lost 2 stone 18 months ago but it’s slowly gone back on with some medical problems that got me out of my gym routine and binge eating as the thought of a diet loomed. Hoping the food noise will quiet to view food as fuel, not a treat, and to cut snacking habits I’ve developed at work.

I only had side effects (mild nausea) on day 1 and nothing since this week. If that makes anyone feel better about side effects. None of them are worse than the daily trials of obesity! Haha

I had a sneak peak at the scales this morning (W1D4) and was down 3.25lbs 👀

That's brilliant! Congratuations.

I'm hoping the scales will be kind to me next week. I tend to lose a good bit of water retention at first, but it's been ages since I've seen any significant losses, hence why I'm now on WLI.

Sneaky scales peaks have derailed me in the past, though! It can get so dispiriting when you plateau.

I am the opposite, not impressed with them at all.

They have messed my order about for 3 days now.
Told it was dispatched, no tracking.

Another said it was being processed and was at the chemist ..no tracking.
Two days to respond to emails.

No chat to use except a useless robot ., it useless and does not answer questions properly
Finally today i get another email….not been dispatched yet.🤬
So i got lied to twice
Will be done Monday and should be with me Wednesday .
Once i get this pen i am cancelling .

I am still with Voy and they are heads and shoulders about Juniper .
A proper chat you can use 24/7 .
You can change order dates and doses , and next day delivery always been cold.
Also can have more needles if needed and sent free .

I am sticking with them.
Anyone want a code for £50 off with them, please pm me .

I

Ah fingers crossed the scales are kind. I sorta like frequent weighing as it is a good reminder of natural fluctuations for me

Have you just started this month like the rest of us or are you just in this thread to promote your Voy referral code?

Because every comment you make you mention your referral code🤔
I think we more than get the point that you have a Voy referral code

RUDE…HAVENT SEEN YOU SAY THAT TO OTHERS THAT PROMOTE THEIR CODES ‼️🤬

HERE ARE A FEW MORE PEOPLE YOU CAN HAVE A GO AT AS YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOD ALL ELSE TO DO 🤬

PLUS I WAS MAKING THE POINT ON HOW JUNIPER HAS MESSED ME ABOUT AND LIED.
MAYBE MIGHT HELP OTHERS ‼️

I'm direct...
I haven't said that to others because they haven't posted it 4 times like you.
I notice that you haven't answered my question.

Maybe as its none of your business

But each time you do... you make sure you mention your referral code from Voy.

If you were truly trying to offer advice to help, you wouldn't be mentioning your code each & every time.

Dear me, its obviously really bothering you 🤣🤣🤣

Cat lady was also on the June starters thread, but other places she has said she’s been taking it for 4 months, so who knows.

For clarity, I started in June, and initially commented here to reassure some Sept people. I have no codes to share!

It is... because this thread is about starting at the end of August & September.
I'm hoping that the group can share likeminded experiences along our journey, unlike the Facebook group which is overrun by people to promote their referral codes.

Personally, I hope I can avoid using any of those companies that provide them... it kind of feels like MLM.

Me asking you the question obviously bothered you...! 😂

Has everyone took there first jab yet? I picked mine up yesterday but thinking about waiting until Monday to start.
