Hey all, nice to see everyone's updates. Good and bad. Slightly worried about the Wegovy feedback as I will be moving onto that soon.

I am on my last 15mg pen and decided the last month to just go for 15mg to try and lose what I have gained. I have actually started losing again and before easter got to 11st 3lbs. I believe after Xmas I was up to about 11st 10lbs. (From trying to reduce down to 10mg). So glad that I am able to lose. But also gutted that I only have 3 doses left of 15mg then I am switching to Wegovy. Only 1mg as that's what Zava would sell to me. My lowest weight was about 10st 4lbs.

I am hoping I can titrate up on Wegovy and start losing again. I assume that I will need to get to at least 2.4mg to start feeling much on it. Hoping I don't get bad side effects from it. I did start on wegovy back before MJ for one pen and mostly felt ok. So hope it's ok for me and I can lose.

Will see how it goes and will report back once I have started on wegovy! I am maid or honor for a wedding in August, so want to get down a bit to look nice in a dress. That extra Stone and half did really make a difference to how my body looks. Funny how that happens the lighter you are!

When I had a brief flirtation with wegovy after the MJ price rise, i was put straight on to 2.4mg. can remember the supplier though.

I am maintaining at 7 1/2 stone, BMI 18, on 45 clicks of a 15mg.
Thin I know but i am broad and boxy otherwise. I have an embarassing stockpile but cant bring myself to drop out of reordering .
Very interested in the low dose theory. Might try 40 clicks next week!
My clothes obsession has not subsided . For so long I was dressed in giant sacks and never had anything nice so i am making the most of this .
The other day I tried an experiment. I loaded weights in a rucksack to take me to 10 1/2 stone. I could hardly walk across the room.
My plan was to try 15 1/2 stone which was my starting weight 2 years ago. I actually physically couldnt get into a standing position from my stool😳. Couldnt do it. Couldnt get up.
But that was my daily life back then. How did I do it? How did I survive?
I think I know how astronauts feel re experiencing gravity😂

@Smallsalt I have 4 full pens in the fridge and ordered another this morning. I won’t stop ordering until they stop sending out 5 dose pens. the price per dose gets 25% more expensive after the bonus dose is removed so I keep ordering.

I’d hate to walk around all day carrying weights to take me back to my old weight. But we did. This drug is amazing!

Can anyone recommend a maintenence supplier please?

I'm on 5mg and bmi 23, but am tired of how hard it is to order via Oushk, especially as they are no longer well priced.

SwiftDoctor or Pharmulous. I'm on the verge of moving from Oushk to Swift, but just going to go up to a 5mg pen from them first.

ThirdStorm · 23/04/2026 08:43

@NextPrimeMinister I'm with Oushk (also with BMI 23) and admittedly the first order was painful and they made me go back to 2.5 where I had been on 5 but the last two orders have been very straight forward and I did my ID and weight check last weekend which took 90 seconds and was very easy! I hadn't appreciated £164 for 5mg wasn't good?

I paid £174 for my last 5mg pen, and that was with a promotion they were running. I was hoping to find cheaper, especially as the pens are now 4 doses rather than 5.

Was 164 a promotional price, do you know?

Anyone used lotus? I’m thinking of going to them at some point as I’ve run out of pens and bmi is now 22

No, that's my maintenance price as I'm on the "conti plan". I get £20 off every order automatically. You can't add more discount codes on top though.

Twasasurprise · 23/04/2026 09:21

Nulife is £158.99 for 5mg delivered. I could choose a delivery date, mine came DPD.

Cloud was £169.28 for 5mg using their cheapest delivery (always comes RM Special Delivery in my experience) and their advertised code of Newme10 for £10 off.

Both accept me as maintenance BMI 21, although possibly due to lower threshold for mixed ethnicity. I've been with Cloud for over 18m and Nulife I've only had one order, but all was good and happy to recommend.

I used Lotus for my last order after being turned down by the Independent Pharmacy.

Was trying to order a 15mg pen and they wanted a print out PDF from my DR of my medical history as they were not able to access it themselves. Anyway, there was no way I was going to get that from my DR surgery so they cancelled my order.

Lotus was 2nd best value on the list so went to them and I have to say the process was really easy.
ID and photos uploaded day 1, order approved and shipped day 2, delivery with ice packs still frozen on day 3.
I was very impressed.

Just to add, I had to provide proof of my previous order. It has been 8 weeks previous but they accepted that I'd still had a few doses in the pen before.
All very smooth.

imnottoofussed · 23/04/2026 10:18

Ok that’s useful to know. I’ve not ordered since sept. So am hoping lotus will take me on for maintenance and start me on 2.5 . I’ve previously been with family chemist for the whole journey but they probably won’t let me order again as I don’t think they support maintenance as such.

Flapearedknave · 23/04/2026 10:39

Thanks all!

Will contact the places mentioned!
