I've just collected my first supply and wondered if anyone wanted to join in with the journey! I'm on 2.5 and I'm 14st1, goal weight is 12 stone as that is my pre baby weight and we'll see how I feel once I've reached it!

any tips on when to take it each week? I'm going to avoid alcohol and even though snacking is my weakness I think purchasing a supply is going to make me stop in a weird way. Any tips gratefully received and if anyone wants to join the journey for support and no judgment here's the place!

I've never been a big snacker but I've always been a "treater" i.e. I'll treat myself to a cake or whatever to go with my coffee. That's definitely stopped whilst on MJ. I just don't fancy it and I love that as I wasn't sure what the switching off of the food noise really meant but now I get it.

Good to see everyone doing well. I bought another 2.5mg pen for my second month but actually wish now I had gone with a 5 so i could do 3.75mg. My weight loss has really levelled off and it’s trending at about 1.5lbs a week with a lot of bouncing up and down. I’m finding it incredibly frustrating but also I have lost 15lbs in 4 weeks and my diet is not good. Lots of little bad habits sneaking back in, the suppression is def not as good as it was, Im having to rely on willpower a little bit more around snacking but I still don’t have any desire to sit and eat a meal. I’m going to relax and chill for now and see where we go but def upping the next pen!

Could you order another pen sooner and use more clicks on your 2.5mg and start the 5mg sooner than 4 weeks. I used another posters referal link and ordered one very soon after I ordered the previous one from a different supplier.

Well done on the 15lb though! That's a great loss!

TaffyTabby · 03/12/2025 14:03

@bakingmad123 I’m not doing anything besides lifting and caring for two small children, which to be honest has me at my strongest I’ve ever been. Regularly lifting 2-3 stone children!

I don’t think exercise is essential for weight loss. If anything, if you’re not managing to eat much on GLP then you could do more harm than good trying to exercise when you’re not well fuelled.

I’d suggest you’re patient and kind to yourself. Maybe further along you’ll feel more able and ready. Walking is always good though!

Fifiellz · 03/12/2025 14:07

@SexyFrenchDepressionYes I’m really tempted to do that, I have a referral code for another provider so that’s not a bad shout thankyou!

RoundandSad · 03/12/2025 14:07

@Fifiellz how has it levelled off if you've lost 15lb in a month? That is loads

I have only lost five and from getting on the scales early this morning, one one of those has gone back on, but I might be due. I'm not keeping proper track at the moment, I will start.

I'm finding it really stressful even thinking of upping my dose on Friday. I probably should, but I really hate that feeling of not knowing what's going to happen and how to plan the weekend

Fifiellz · 03/12/2025 14:54

@RoundandSadIm in my 5th week and lost that stone very quickly in the first 2 weeks so even though I know it’s amazing and I am so pleased about it, I have now watched the scales move up and down a pound for the last 3 weeks. I know it’s my body catching up and I def am still not drinking enough water which isn’t helping. However it’s not the weight loss that’s making me want to move up a dose it’s the fact that I am def feeling a lot less suppression now, and am starting to want to pick at things I wasn’t interested in an couple of weeks ago.

I’m in a very similar position to you, lost a stone in the first 2 weeks and although I’m still losing, I have also lost some of the suppression and can eat bigger meals now. I don't feel like I want to snack but am finding I am actually hungry at times. So I’m nervous about getting through the next month on 2.5.

Fifiellz · 03/12/2025 16:09

@TheP1per Yes it’s annoying! The suppression was too much at first and that the reason I lost so much - I literally couldn’t eat! But i’m also worried that another 3 weeks of 2.5mg brings me right up to Xmas and I don’t really want to have a whole blow out. I’m tempted to get another pen and go up to 3.75 for the rest of the month

Me too, which pharmacy do you think you will use? Have you heard of any that are better than others when you are already on the injections? I don’t much want to get turned down.

Fifiellz · 03/12/2025 16:20

I was just going to try simpleonlinepharmacy because I have a referral code for £50 off but I will have a better look about when I finish work

SexyFrenchDepression · 03/12/2025 16:28

@Fifiellz @TheP1per I have £40 referral for Lotus, I also have a £75 one for Pharmacy 2U. Both of these responding to consultation within minutes and sent pen immediately. Was really impressed. Simple online pharmacy refused me when I was trying to get my first prescription.

Fifiellz · 03/12/2025 16:31

@SexyFrenchDepressionOk sounds good, will try them first then, feel free to pm the codes if you also get a good deal on the referral!

Yes please, that would be great. Thanks very much.

JustBeach · 03/12/2025 19:22

I have a £50 off for Voy if anyone is interested .

I’ve done my last jab of the first pen and am just under a stone down! It’s amazing really. I feel so well and am getting back in some of my old clothes again. Another pound off and I’ll be my lowest weight in over 12 years! I’ve ordered a 5mg pen but am really undecided still how much to dose! Tbh 2.5 is still working well, but I don’t want to waste so much of the 5mg pen! I’ve also still got the extra dose and undecided on that too! There’s so much of it, it seems such a waste not to use it!

Burnnoticed · 03/12/2025 19:27

When I ordered with Niman they gave me a referral code for £100, a great discount but I've no one to share it with!

Burnnoticed · 03/12/2025 19:28

Sorry, Numan!

RoundandSad · 03/12/2025 19:33

@JustBeach I am with Voy
Would that get me money off my next one?

I would like the code, please. Unless someone else want it, I don't really know how this works.

Everyone is doing so well! I feel kind of embarrassed hopefully a dose increase will have a better result for me

OhCobblers · 03/12/2025 20:02

Just checking in as due to take 3rd dose tomorrow. Have lost 6lbs in 2 weeks but can’t see the difference visually yet! I’m ordering through Medexpress and will order 5mg. Without reading back through all the posts would I be able to find a code anywhere? Thank you!

@TaffyTabby same, I have never had a normal relationship with food, my mum was obsessed with diets and being thin, she hates fat people and comments all the time. I dont feel the same as her in any way however it has totally messed me up when it comes to normal eating, I either starve myself or binge! As a result I have always rewarded my DCs with food and both are overweight as older teens. I feel awful about it and need to sort it out for them!!

I can really relate to this. My mother was / is the same!

user593 · 03/12/2025 20:15

I can really relate to this. My mother was / is the same!

It is quite difficult to deal with isnt it, a lot of conversations revolve around food, low fat, losing half a 1lb. Never being healthy, exercising etc. My mum is now on jabs due to unrelated health reasons but it will help several of them. She is not obese but over 27 BMI and getting it on NHS. She seems to have relaxed about food as shes not thinking about it any more.

user593 · 03/12/2025 20:27

@SexyFrenchDepression My mum has always been thin but only due to bulimia/ extremely disordered eating habits. I often think I ended up this way to spite her. She’s extremely vain, and always thinks about what she’s eating, whereas I never did (hence I am the size I am!).
