We have all been on for heading up to 17mths now- 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

most of us 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 !

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 next year will almost be harder.

To keep the weight off Esp if reducing dose or off completely

Got my 10mg from pharmalous, dispatched yesterday, just got it now. Well packaged and ice still mostly frozen.
Just a shame about these prices now, but when I order more I will go through them again, hope they don't want the video call etc, can't be arsed with all that really. Pics and I.D was easy.

Yes I found Pharmulous easy to deal with too 👍

Azuresky68 · 16/12/2025 15:49

I am on 7.5 at the moment and plan to stay on that until January...if I gain a lot over the next 4 weeks then might go back up 10. But if I manage to stay the same my plan is to drop down to 5 in January. Definitely eating more on 7.5 😕 Seeing the consultant in January about my Parathyroid op. The parathyroid glands aren't working properly so my body thinks I am low in calcium...it takes calcium from my bones and I have started with osteoporosis in one my hips. The high level of calcium has also caused a kidney stone (now treated) The op should put everything right and hopefully stop further bone damage and more kidney stones 🤞

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/12/2025 15:56

Motnight · 16/12/2025 16:23

@Blondeshavemorefun I started off very very obese. Even now I am still in the obese BMI category 😮. I am so lucky that, as far as I know, I haven't permanently screwed up my health. It's amazing what our bodies can cope with. I am proud of my 61 year old body.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/12/2025 17:57

Be very proud at why you have lost @Motnight

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/12/2025 18:15

Pharmolous want a video call with me

why do I have to and you didn’t @Azuresky68

espnas I’ve been with them before

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 16/12/2025 18:21

And did you both have to re send pics
I thought we been with them before I wouldn’t need to do all this

sighs

morbidcuriosity · 16/12/2025 18:38

@Blondeshavemorefun I'm hoping they won't want one with me, I don't like doing them really, hope I can just buy another in January time.

morbidcuriosity · 16/12/2025 18:39

Is it your bmi? As you've lost more weight, has that lowered it to trigger a video call maybe?

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/12/2025 20:13

I’ve had a little fiddle. I think if you put down that your maintaining they want to video call but if you say that you were just trying to lose weight and just carrying on you don’t so I’ve said that I lose a few more pounds so I’m now not technically maintaining

so not sure if the order has gone through they’ve taken payment I had to send a picture of me enclosed Butt with today’s date so I will wait for an email to see what’s gonna happen. Paragraph

Maybe because my BMI is higher? 23.5 for me

Azuresky68 · 16/12/2025 22:15

@Blondeshavemorefun I said I was maintaining on 10. Just sent photo with me holding sign with date plus photos of side panels of my pen boxes...showing my prescribed strength and date

morbidcuriosity · 16/12/2025 22:28

I said I was maintaining and they didn't want a call.. maybe I made myself look fatter in the pics paid off. Lol.
And I bloody missed the £10 off, the code came out after I had ordered.. Well annoyed about that. . Fingers crossed they do a January one.

Tbh I was surprised path said months back when I spoke to them - that they have a flat price and don’t do discounts

I think they said that if you had a gap between ordering one pen and another they expect you to go back to 2.5? I mentioned I had a couple of pens already in stock.

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/12/2025 18:28

Yes I sent them the pic with 4 pens of 10 and one 7.5

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 18/12/2025 22:47

I think it’s coming. Looked in account and said approved so no video call but did have to send pics with date

Redlightbulb · 18/12/2025 23:11

Not posted on here for a while.
Now lost 7 stone with 2 to go.
I have enough stockpiled pens to last me until the summer when I should be at goal but I am terrified of coming off after hearing stories that it is like a tsunami of food noise & hunger!
I have saved all my pen boxes to photograph & send in if I decide to stay on.
Been using the GD & taking 12.5 out of a 15 so it will look like I have gaps & will have to come up with a story if I don't want to reorder when I still have some extra pens left.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/12/2025 00:27

Oh wonderful. Well done @Redlightbulb

any before /after pics

take a pic of boxes and pens. That’s what I did and they didn’t quibble it

Hello, ive been hear since august 24 under other previous user names. After a long plateau, i have finally started losing again. Still hopingvto lose another 3 which will bring me into the healthy weight category. I do not t know whether tgat is really feasible, but ive got to try-one step at a time. After my plateau, every 1/2 pound loss feels like a victory!

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/12/2025 12:26

Lovely to have you back. Who were you originally @Carycach4

sorry to hear had a long sts but fab weight is shifting again

I find it’s usually calories that are over the tdee. So def count every morsel into your mouth and what pen are you on ? Maybe time to go up if on on night dose

no reason why you can’t get 3s more off

tho i get it’s been slow

howmuch have you lost so far ?

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 19/12/2025 12:28

Timetochange24 · 19/12/2025 14:41

Lovely to check in with your updates. Sorry not to be very present but Christmas is silly season at work and I'm feeling more than a bit frazzled. But haven't put on weight which is a first. Fingers crossed for the next couple of weeks... I'm definitely hearing a bit more food noise now I'm tapering down, but I'm still feeling in charge of it. And after a short period of high stress and high dose where I didn't feel any appetite at all, I think it's a healthy step forward for my brain to suggest that a biscuit would help with a stressful situation, but for my brain to listen when I tell it that's not going to help.
