@cheekysausage123I have created another thread (hope you dont mind) as first thread has been closed.

Weighing today but decided not to as its time of the month and I feel very bloated.

The flavours look great, only issue for me is that I struggle with fibre intake and they have 0, my usual shake has around 6g however they are significantly less calories so it may help me get more fibre and protein in throughout the day without wasting 250 cals on a shake to get protein in!

These are nice @SexyFrenchDepression they are made from nuts and seeds

would help with the fiber issue…
Not smooth though. The chocolate hazelnut is yummy!

@Meandmypooch Wow, thanks for sharing! I can see your carb intake is very low which is what I have just started doing now. Also not a breakfast person - just coffee for me.

Loving all the protein discussion, will check few of them out too. @Moosey898 Absolutely love My Protein products as well.

Yeah trying to keep the carbs to a minimum and concentrating on the protein and fibre, breakfast is two black coffees!
Only side effect I've had is it's put me off beer! so it's the odd red wine.

Hmmm. I can really see I need to up my game on protein! I’m not sure protein powder will be something I can work with, but perhaps I need to work on more Greek yoghurt! And more steak 😁

@Meandmypooch omg, used to be a wine person but I have been totally been put off it. I have not had any form of alcohol since on mj.

I guess my low carb is working. I have officially moved from 13's to the 11's (stone) this morning.

@Clumsykitten i use protein powder in a range of different ways - stir it into Greek yoghurt - gives a texture like Angel Delight and depending on the flavour of the protein. It tastes like it too 😃

The collagen glow up powder from Nutrition Geeks has 12g of protein in also and is tasteless so can put in food/tea/coffee. The reviews are amazing, I have only taken it for a few days so far so cant comment.

You are me! I agree with every word in your post

So 5 weeks in and just about to take my 6th 2.5mg jab and I’ve lost another 3lbs this week. That’s 13.5lbs since I started, almost one stone gone out of my overall target to lose 3 stones. This stuff is wonderful!!

That said, the reason for this week’s loss is (I think) because I’ve been very poorly with bronchitis and flu all week. I’ve been keeping up with eating because I need to take the steroids I’ve been given with food but I’ve obviously eaten even less than usual. And I’m trying to keep eating to keep my strength up as I haven’t been out of the house at all for 10 days.

But I will definitely take that thank you very much MJ ☺️

Bless you, hope you’re feeling better, that’s a great loss! Here is to a better week for you.

We’ve had a night away so can’t weigh in this am but due my 9th jab this eve. Sticking to 5mg for another month.

For the 1st time since I started I am beginning to feel hungry, is that normal (3.5weeks in). Food noise is 0 still so dont feel like I want to snack at all but definitely feel like I could eat

Totally normal ☺️ and actually good for the long term! Because you need to be able to figure out how to eat well and the right amounts when you feel hungry x

Thank you, it actually feels quite nice as I have been struggling to eat at all.

Mine had curdled before when the temperature of the coffee was to hot, it is lovely though isn’t it x

Hi all, I cant remember If I said I lost 1.6lbs this week so better than the 0.8lbs loss last week. I’ve upped my steps and managed a gym session Friday too, so slowly getting there after a run of a good few weeks being Ill.

I normally jab in my thigh and ever had had any problems but the week before last I jabbed there and had a raised red patch from the injection I don’t know why so then last week I injected into my stomach , and this week went back to the opposite thigh and the same reaction has happened again a red patch had formed I did my jab Friday, has anyone else had this? x

@Elliebearblues I haven’t injected other than different spots on my abdomen as I use hrt gels - estrogen in my arms and testosterone on my thigh so avoid injecting there so there is no chance of it reacting.

buy ivermectin not had a reaction like that at all- have you used anything else on the same patch of skin including body lotions, or did you use an alcohol wipe before injecting?

I used an alcohol wipe before injecting like I always do, so didn’t do anything different. The needle did sting a bit this time though, wonder if it’s because it’s cold out now and I used it straight from the fridge . Very strange how this has happened twice now … x

Yes I've been getting hungry but the difference now compared to before taking MJ, I will have some fruit or some nuts as a snack. Thankfully no food noise or cravings still which is the biggest thing for me. I'm still on 5mg but thinking about going up to 7.5mg for my next pen.

@Elliebearblues well done on your loss, that’s much better than last week, yep the coffee / protein combo is lovely!

I had a bump like that once on my stomach, I think the needle didn’t go in straight but only had it inverted, was just like yours.
@Shitzngigglesim going up to 7.5 on my next pen, need the extra help over Christmas 🤣
this is the first year I’ve brought chocolate coins for the kids and not had to replace them (yet)!

@narcASD weird isn't it? My son always includes a box of fudge in my Christmas present but this year I've actually told him not to. I have to say its really quite liberating not to be held hostage to all the sweet stuff 😃.

4 weeks today since my 1st jab and I have now lost 12lbs in total.

I’ve taken some of the jabs a bit early so next jab is #6 and I will go for the full 5mg for that as I am not really suffering side effects and suppression is only very mild.

I’m now trying to plan around December’s social stuff so that jabs will be wearing off when I’m due to go out for events and family meals as DH knows but no one else.

The bump is going down now thankfully but is still a little itchy, How long did you say you have been on 5mg, I’ve done 4 doses on 5mg now and thank god I’m feeling so much better. Last week was the best I felt since starting the jabs in September. I think if the suppression carry’s on I’ll stay on 5mg a little longer as I’m still going to bed full x

That’s amazing it’s taken me twice as long to lose the same but I admit I hadn’t been exercising or anything as I’ve been poorly, Got back to my steps and gym last week. Im also trying to plan around December as it’s my sons birthday on Wednesday 17th and we are going for a meal and then I’m going out for a meal and drinks with my friends on Friday 19th, I normally jab on the Friday but don’t think drinking and jabbing is a good idea so I’m a bit stuck when to do it as I don’t want to strong suppression going out as I won’t want to eat, I might delay my jab to the Sunday that week perhaps x

@Elliebearblues I use the Shotsy app that was recommended on another thread - just the free version, but it’s calendar lets you see your level on any given day if you record your jabs - I’m looking at that and planning to jab on the day after a planned meal where I can - by going early or late… can’t make everything work eg Xmas being on a Thursday whereas most family / events are Saturday but Christmas Day is usually chaotic so I’ll get away with actually eating less.

it also lets you record notes eg side effects etc so you can see patterns.
