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

@Azuresky68 there was a code JAN10 for pharmalous for £10 off . So if u ordered today it should probably still work. I'm going to stick with them now,

Thanks. It still works. £234.98 including P&P for 10 mg 👍 Swift was £250 ..not sure how much P&P is. Last time I ordered from Ousch was August so no chance of getting a 10 from them!

Azuresky68 · 30/01/2026 11:57

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/01/2026 10:26

I like pharmolous no discount but flat rate

£10 off at the moment. Do you have to wait in and sign for delivery?
How often do you order from them? My last order was 12th December but explained I was ordering in advance so hopefully they will allow...will let you all know.

WWJ and maintaining nicely (sorry crabby) tho tha as I have help

5 seems to keep me steady

That's good news..5 is the magic number!

FurForksSake · 30/01/2026 12:00

Jesus, today is going to be calorific. Grabbed a protein shake as I had early physio, turned out it was 500 calories meal replacement! Dh and I are having bacon sandwiches for lunch and then I picked up pizza for dinner. I’ll take a heartburn pill now 🤣🫣 Weeknd is looking treat heavy too. Back on it on Monday! I’ve got to be mindful that this is a one off and tk return.

Dh and ds1 are off to scout camp all weekend. Ds2 and I are home alone. So we’ll have a takeaway tomorrow. I’ve bought steak for Sunday dinner as I don’t know when the boys will be home and how they’ll feel.

morbidcuriosity · 30/01/2026 12:15

My first order from them was 16th Dec, and my 2nd was delivered Wednesday, so 6 weeks and a day apart.
My first order i had to send a pic of my Sept and August pens labels and they were happy with that.
I got the 10mg pen too.

morbidcuriosity · 30/01/2026 12:18

Oh and it was royal mail and he wanted a signature, I usually get the royal mail email and redirect it to post office but never got it this time, had to click the tracking link through the pharmalous email. Bit weird . Just glad I was in for it, you can choose a delivery day too which I like.

And seems I still have suppression I went out for lunch and I couldn’t eat all my plates.

So I guess I’ll be staying on five but I do buy a 10 and do a 30 clips making it around £120 a month

@NippyNinjaCrab I am very much with you ! Have you ordered a pen? Tried to contact pharmulous to sort what I order and can’t get hold
of anyone😵‍💫😅

MabelSpan · 30/01/2026 14:45

Hi all,

Can anyone help please, my meno brain cant work out if it is better value for me to buy a 7.5mg pen or a 5mg pen to use 4mg per dose.
Given the big price difference between the two pens I am guessing a 5mg will still work out slightly cheaper?
I am back with Asda and their prices are £189/5mg and £249/7.5mg
Thanks all

FurForksSake · 30/01/2026 15:02

i think it’s the same, 30 clicks of 7.5 and 40 clicks of 5. Assuming 300 clicks per pen, ten doses from 7.5 and 7.5 doses from 5mg.

£25.20 a dose for 5mg
£24.90 a dose for 7.5mg

so very little in it. That’s for a dose midway between 2.5 and 5, so may be a tiny bit off.

MabelSpan · 30/01/2026 15:37

@FurForksSake Thanks ever so much, 😊

Oh thanks.. might have a look because I could say coming back from another supplier and show evidence. Might work out quite well

How long a gap does Pharmulous accept? Are you building up a stash because you have to order every six weeks when a 10 mg will last 10 jabs (including syringed dose)
Actually is the extra dose still in the pen or has that changed?

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/01/2026 17:02

@MabelSpan you can find cheaper. They are expensive

I ordered end of dec I think. And will order mid Feb. I like to have a pen in stash and I’m half way tho a 10 isn’t as a 5. And think I have a 10 in fridge 2/27

I think if do within 8w they are ok. But will let you know next time I order

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 30/01/2026 17:06

Mine still had extra dose in it so a 10 does 10w x 5

@FurForksSake as you have a brain

can you work out for me the diff

7.5 and 10 if I use as a 5 - so 40c of 7.5 v 30c of 10 thank you

OP posts:
MabelSpan · 30/01/2026 17:20

@Blondeshavemorefun I will have a look on a couple of others I have used before, Oushk and Cloud. I just cant be faffed with all the hassle of being a new customer, plus I havent ordered since the price rise, though I did get my Oushk pen delaed until Oct and I have 2 pen boxes to take pics of, so maybe wont be too bad trying somewhere new?
Asda have just sent me a £20 off but I see Oushk has a discount too....oh why is it all so tricky!

NippyNinjaCrab · 30/01/2026 17:36
Poo Wtf GIF

@FurForksSake a boot up the arse is needed 😂
My problem is, I only have so much energy to do so much daily, I have ME along with all the other shite. So when I am tired and DH is home each night, 3 out of 7 dinners are usually pie and beans or pasta which I always make too much of.

@Wingingit11 I have said to DH that I am going to get a proper shopping on Sunday and for February really get a grip and if I need help I will order a pen end of Feb 😐

@Azuresky68 apologies I didn't answer your earlier question. Yes DH is overweight and a snacker. When he is away working and I am tired I am more than happy either having no dinner if I have eaten well during the day or I have a small meal like yoghurt and fruits etc. When he's here its meals.

@Blondeshavemorefun ah thank you my wee buddy, the poo has been lol, god help the septic tank!! 😂😂
What have I been eating you ask my little bundle of blonde bombshell:

Breakfast: Bran flakes at the moment, definitely not the recommended portion and tomorrow morning i will pour my bowl then weigh it and die off with the portion. I usually have that with blue milk half up the bowl, add some blueberries, dried cranberries and some seeds. I have the same thing all the time until my brain says change to yoghurt and fruit or porridge 🙃

Lunch: Ryvita x 2, with philli, some cooked meat and tomato. Coffee. But I was having a sandwich daily with DH, cheese, meat, tomato and some crisps.

Today you will all laugh, I was in Markies for my blueberries, yes I am a fussy weirdo and I bought a beautiful white cob loaf. Fuck me it was perfection, I was inhaling deeply all the way home. I had it with butter and corned beef with some brown sauce! One slice. So these things cannot happen if I want to lose this 13lbs. I am awful on bread, my tummy hates it so bloat alert.

In my defence my meds have been fucked up. They dont want patients on opioid painkillers now and I have tried and failed to come off co codamol 30/500. I've done the Duloxetine and Tramadol withdrawal no problem (was bad though).
I have managed to get to taking 15mg codeine now, max 4 a day with paracetamol. Then I will get 8mg codeine and off it.

As a replacement they have given me Nefopam. This totally mucked up my sleep as causes insomnia plus the interaction with another med was making me super agitated. MH is shit. Anyway long story boring I have decided I am not taking anything other than paracetamol once I am off the codeine. I am on Naproxen so that helps. I am hoping I get my head engaged and get on the weight loss train again.

Pick me back up at platform 9 and 3/4 Monday please?.

NippyNinjaCrab · 30/01/2026 17:39

I wonder if Oushk will still have all my information and I can save time and do a short video its been a while since I ordered. September was it? Xxx
