We have all been on for over a year now

Last month the year before , we gathered our courage and started what would be a memorable journey for us all - made some hopefully forever friends

Gather round my little auggies 😍 and we are all doing amazingly so be proud of yourselves

The amount of weight per person lost varies from 1-2stone - 3-4 - 5-6 - 7+
in a year

We are amazing !!!

All of us have totally changed our body shape - reduced our bmi and weight and hopefully improved our health

Some are at goal - and working out how to maintain - some nearing it
And some still have weight they want to lose

We are still here cheering you on till you get to your happy weight so please do carry on posting

Some have stopped for cost - esp after the aug announcements - still so thankful we started it when we did

Imagine Aug 25 and being told 2/3w later prices were increasing lots - I def couldn’t have managed a year of mj at new sept prices esp as doses didn’t really effect me even 15 !

Blowing baby dust your way to those who are ttc

ALL of us have lost weight and I love the fact we are all so supportive to each other over weight and our general day to day lives

This year will almost be harder. To keep the weight off Esp if reducing dose or off completely

But add on the bowl of salad with blue cheese dressing, potato salad and coleslaw 😆

I’ll concede it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

You can always return them if returning is free and buy them again if you change your mind?

owlyboo · 08/09/2025 14:23

Thanks @Motnight@Weepixie(well done on the shoes!you can use them to break people’s legs!)

thanks @Blondeshavemorefunso sorry for the loss of your mum. Legs look fab. Not chunky at all.

thanks @20bloodypoundsyes you make of it what you want don’t you. I’m sure some have lost barely anything on them if they have changed nothing.

lovely pics @Weepixie

Azuresky68 · 08/09/2025 15:18

Just having a catch up while having a coffee break. I am out shopping. Loving the fact I can wear skinny rib tops and jumpers in size XS Primark!

@Blondeshavemorefun your jeans look great!

There's a few people on Oushk page who definitely look too thin in my opinion.

Sold loads of stuff over weekend on Vinted but of course I have already spent the proceeds 😅😅😅

Sorry about your mum @Blondeshavemorefun
It's so hard losing those you are close to.
I lost my mum 10 years ago ago. I just wish she could see I am happy at long last.
@Weepixie that interail trip will be wonderful. Great news about shoes too. I did the boat trip and snorkelling in Oman too... fabulous 👌
Best wishes as always to everyone.
I jabbed 15 last week on Sunday and I still have suppression.

FurForksSake · 08/09/2025 15:20

I do wonder if the looking too thin is in someways about muscle loss from losing too fast? So you don’t look the same at the same weight maybe. But also some do go for the very bottom of healthy bmi. Mine is 21 and I want to go a touch lower, but not below 20.

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/09/2025 15:58

18 seems crazy to me. Far too low x

Good evening you slender lovelies!

I've had 2 unsuccessful shopping trips looking for something to wear to the family celebration at the weekend. I spent yesterday going through my wardrobe. Lots of lovely things, all a bit too big so I just looked dishevelled.

I had to take my car in for service today so trudged around a bigger shopping centre. With the exception of m & s, I didn't see one thing I liked. Horrible fabrics around with awful prints.

I've just done an online m & s order (my size not available in store) so if this turns up nothing I'll be going in cargo pants and an oodie!!

Fingers crossed @poppym12shops seem to have become showrooms now with selected things in selected sizes only. Hopefully you’ll find lovely!

we are going to the theatre at the weekend but I think I’m going to go for Comfortable as possible.

FurForksSake · 08/09/2025 18:37

I ran out of oushk codes, how do I get my £15 off

FurForksSake · 08/09/2025 18:37

I also can’t find the oushk WhatsApp number, I’ll order for November or December as that’s a good price.

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/09/2025 18:38

Tho seems it’s £5 off lower pens so actually not £50 a pen. It’s 50 over then all.

Thats sneaky

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 08/09/2025 18:46

Well I used the new discount code as I didn’t use it before. That’ll do. I’ve ordered it for November. I’ve got two coming at the end of October and I won’t need to buy more till January to keep my prescription within six weeks.

FlappingMadly · 08/09/2025 18:47

I have given up on Oushk. They mess you about, keep these panic emotions going.

MabelSpan · 08/09/2025 18:50

I had a pen with Oushk scheduled for late October, but now that we know the pen doses are being reduced I have brought it forward to next week.

Weepixie · 08/09/2025 18:52

Manelspan I wasn’t aware pen doses were being reduced.

FurForksSake · 08/09/2025 18:52

I’m going to try and keep it as is, but that is at the back of my mind now! I’ll deal with it. I’m jabbing every 8 days and when I start my next pen I’ll count clicks to go down to 10 from a 12.5 pen. I want to try and work down to the lowest dose I can maintain on.

FurForksSake · 08/09/2025 18:54

@Weepixiepeople noticed that wording was being changed on the patient leaflet about dosing or volume that indicated it would very much be 4 doses. The company confirmed today that yes, they are reducing the amount in the pens so that after the 4th dose it will be close to empty.
