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!

@SexyFrenchDepression did they give you the name of the person?

I woke up feeling really rubbish. It can't be the MJ because I'm due to take it again tomorrow.

No, they dont give out names at all. Just an email to say someone has used my referral link.

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 11:30

@SexyFrenchDepression That was me! I don’t know if it’s going to work though as they are giving me a right run around! I’m about another question away from telling them to stick it and refund me 😩

Thats annoying, they asked me for prescription box photo then a video of me holding my ID then weighing myself. I didnt use a full length mirror and they were fine with that. My BMI is under 27 now and they were still fine

I used the Pharmacy2u link as soon as you sent it me yesterday and so far I haven’t heard anything. I can’t even see anything on the website in the account I set up regarding my consultation, so I think I’ve somehow messed it up. Thanks for the link though. Hopefully I’ll hear something today.

Perhaps it didnt work then as it was another poster at that time!

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 11:35

I threw away my box so had to upload my confirmation receipt, the only place I could weigh myself in front of a full length mirror was on carpet so they weighed me much lighter than I am. Now they want me to justify why I am ordering a new pen when my last one was only desptached last week and they won’t accept that I weigh 5 stone 5 on the carpet 😩😩😩😩 or accept another scale reading as it’s not in front of a full length mirror 😂😂

RoundandSad · 04/12/2025 11:39

@SexyFrenchDepression @Fifiellz

okay, these providers sound very awkward

All I had to do for Voy was upload a photograph and some ID

again, I'm feeling rubbish, I'm convinced that my vitamins don't really work and also my morning tea or coffee doesn't really work. Normally, I get up have those and I'm all set I don't feel tired in the morning really

Until I started this medication

Lotus was just a photo of prescription box then a photo of you taken within last 30 days.

Pharmacy 2u was a video but it was easy as it does it for you.

I just messaged to say i dont have a full length mirror on hard floor so they said that's fine, I did my video in a normal mirror and moved from scales on 0 to me stepping on then straight up to my face in the mirror. I just said I wanted to ensure I had delivery in time in case of delivery issues over xmas. No idea why they are being awkward.

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 11:45

Yes I think I haven’t helped myself it’s not just the providers fault! I’m sure it will be easy enough for everyone else and I don’t blame them, they have to use due diligence.

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 11:47

@SexyFrenchDepression I said the same, I was changing provider due to having a referral code and because my new pen runs out on the 23rd Dec I want to be prepared in time for xmas and avoid postal delays running up to that! Fingers crossed - they haven’t said no yet!

putthehamsterbackinitscage · 04/12/2025 11:47

Bolt are fairly easy too 2 photos, I’d and previous prescription label.

I’ve had an email from them today upping the referral discount and credit, so if anyone wants a code for Bolt, let me know.

Hopefully you can try a video in another room and they'll be fine. What a pain!

SexyFrenchDepressionI started the process again and it seems to have worked properly this time. I just need to be approved now.

Yes it was me. After great difficulty with the videos not submitting and then submitting a video of my feet, I have now been approved. Thanks for the link. Grand total of £143.50 with posting. Typically, I don’t feel hungry at all today, but I’m happy to have the 5mg pen for back up over Christmas.

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 15:50

They asked to resubmit all the videos and everything from yesterday so I sent a stroppy message and asked for a refund. Pen approved 5 mins later 😂

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 15:54

I’m still going up to 3.75 mg but I’m noticing a pattern where I’m waking up slightly morning sicknessy, eating nothing till lunch. Start getting a bit lightheaded around lunchtime, eat something, fancy a bit of choc or a biscuit. Eat that and then after that feel a bit sick again and no interest whatsoever in eating again for the rest of the day. So tomorrow I’m going g to try and front load all my protein and fibre and calories into my lunch. Because that’s all I’m literally getting in now!

That really made me laugh, I made several attempts before submitting 😂

I definitely started feeling better once I ate the recommended amount of protein. I have clear protein shake with collagen glow up so that's 32g straight away. It doesnt feel like food as its like squash and I'm finding that so much better. If I fancy lunch its eggs, if not protein yoghurt. Then a proper meal in evening but mostly low carbs.

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 16:48

Yes I really need to drill this down now. I have the vimto clear whey which I drank the first day or 2 and then haven’t touched since. Protein yogs in fridge so one or those and maybe an omelette for lunch. It feels like i’m winging it and I’m so tired as well. Need to sort myself out.

Fifiellz · 04/12/2025 16:49

Today I had a plan jacket potato and 2 hob nobs and that will probably be it. I’m not doing myself any favours at all

I got the variety pack which was nice as got to try loads of different flavours!

It has made a huge difference to me being more strict on what I eat within my calories, I definitely have more energy and my coach for my sports team has noticed.

Out of everything I am wanting to eat steak or mince rather than chicken, I have no idea why!

Springbaby2023 · 04/12/2025 21:20

@SexyFrenchDepression what brand are you having? I’d like to try something like that when I go up.

I have some banana breakfast protein drinks but they’re only 12g, they’re just handy on the morning so I feel like I need something.

Most days I skip breakfast, have a normal lunch (sandwich, soup etc) and then meat, carb and vegetables for drink. Once a week I’m still having a treat meal like pizza but I just eat a lot less of it than I used to.

I don’t go lower than 1400 calories at the moment, and I think even if suppression increases I wouldn’t want to go lower than 1200.

Feel like I’ve got a really nice balance at the moment but still looking forward to going up a dose on Sunday!

Oh and I’m still drinking wine and cappuccinos which adds empty calories for sure but does add a great deal of pleasure so I’ll take it.

SexyFrenchDepression · 04/12/2025 21:29

@Springbaby2023 MyProtein clear whey. I love the taste of most of the flavours. The Collagen glow up powder is from Nutrition Geeks as is the creatine, both tasteless and just go in my protein drink, or coffee if I forget.

To lose around 1lb a week according to the TDEE calculator its around 1000/1100 for me (I'm only 5ft4). Switching to the clear protein makes it easy to stick to as its only 90 cals, although most days I'm closer to 900. I plan what I am going to eat but my evening meals are usually too big so I do need to try and adjust a bit.

I have been super strict, occasionally have a slice of toast with some scrambled egg but not often. I havent had many treats at all, I think one costa black forest hot chocolate was it. I am looking forward to a few treat over Christmas and I wont worry if I dont lose or put on a lb or two as I have lost a decent amount so far. I definitely need to relax a bit with it all. I have been a bit anxious about overeating.
