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

500c for a shake @NippyNinjaCrab 🙀🙀🙀

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/02/2026 20:56

I don’t think I could drink almost a pint of shake

think mine are 300ml

FurForksSake · 02/02/2026 20:24

@NippyNinjaCrab I had that with protein shakes the other day. I was very annoyed that I missed the calorie count and that it was a complete meal. It has got a decent whack of protein and vitamins but it was not what I intended!

It was actually far too much but I didn't want to waste it, I drank 3/4 of it. It was nice but heavy, what did you think?
@Blondeshavemorefun yep I didn't realise it was an actual meal replacement haha, I better check the other 2 although they are a different make.

NippyNinjaCrab · 02/02/2026 21:21

I'm not as active as I was on MJ either which has been a factor. I have the orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday to discuss the right hip replacement. With that and going over on my ankle I'm not striding out with purpose at the moment.
Has anyone heard from Owlyboo? I often wonder how she is? Who else is missing from OA? X

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/02/2026 21:28

yes she hasn’t been on this one. Hope she’s ok

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 02/02/2026 21:31

@NippyNinjaCrab I had the cookies and cream one. It was nice, but I also got sick of it but didn’t want to waste it. I’d buy it if I was poorly and needed to make sure I was getting calories but not otherwise.

NippyNinjaCrab · 03/02/2026 07:58

Agree @FurForksSake, my breakfast is already calorie laden with my seeds and berries. I need to choose a different yoghurt. But I always have FF, seeds and nuts which I love and although high in cals are so good for you.
No shake for lunch though 😂😂😂

Azuresky68 · 04/02/2026 11:21

Morning. Just thought I would update you on my second Pharmulous 10 mg order. Managed to get it by saying I liked to have at least one pen in stock. 5th December First order. 2nd order 30th January.
For anyone looking to order from them for the first time there is a code with £15 off.

Just wondering @Blondeshavemorefunif you order every 6 weeks are you building up a stash? I think i will be on 5 mg forever but from 10 mg pen so will end uo with a stash too. Still on 7.5 mg at the moment

FurForksSake · 04/02/2026 11:28

I’m currently building a stash, I’m happy to do it as they are long dated and the longer we can buy the five dose pens the better. If I ever do come off I’ll buy a pen every 11 months to keep myself in the system (and use it for Christmas 🫣🤣 )

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/02/2026 14:28

I haven’t built a stash anymore. I have one pen left - think a 10

using 10 as a 5 mean they last over 2mths

i don’t want lots of pens but like to have one in lieu

when in near the end of current I will contact pharmoulous and hopefully thy will do me another 10

Interesting to see how long they let us go between ordering pens 🤔

Azuresky68 · 04/02/2026 20:12

8 weeks between pens for me, but really 9 weeks as not getting it delivered for another week.

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/02/2026 21:05

Every 2mths be good. Esp if using 10 as a 5 am if they take off the golden dose

I ordered a 5mg pen from Asda, my first order since the August price news. They approved it within 30mins and its due for delivery tomorrow! Never had a pen sorted so fast! Totally hassle free, no proof required or questions asked. I did drop a dose, from my last order, so that could be why it went through so quickly,

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/02/2026 13:31

Tho Asda is costly but glad easy

MabelSpan · 05/02/2026 13:39

It is, thankfully I had a discount code so win win! 😊

20bloodypounds · 05/02/2026 17:03

I'm on holiday, not in @Azuresky68's favourite place, but an adjacent island. Got b&b so filling up on all the wonderful breakfast choices, then not eating again until late in the day although some wine and sangria is creeping in

There are scales in the bathroom so I thought I'd be able to keep track of how things are going... Except they are really weird. They give me exactly to same weight every time. Morning, noon, night. It's a number close to my weight at home so I initially thought it was correct. But it is either 60.77 or 60.17 nothing else. I know at home that my weight fluctuates day to day but also heavier in the evening and lighter first thing in the morning. These stupid scales give me exactly the same reading. Bah humbug!

At least the sun is shining and I'm walking miles every day.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/02/2026 17:33

Maybe hold A heavy book and see if it changes

I am very envious. It is pissing down here and has all day

And really all week☔️☔️

Hey all, I’m still here bouncing around my goal by 1-2 lb either way, which is fine. I’ve been taking a 5 from a 7.5 and not bought anything since August. I have 1 pen left in the fridge but think I would like to keep on it if I can get a 10 and use it in 5s . I had registered with Oushk for maintenance so hoping I can buy from there again.. but where else would you recommend ? I see that you are using Pharmulous @Blondeshavemorefun , how much are they and do you think i’ll be able to register ? BMI is around 22.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/02/2026 09:05

Think it was £244 for a 10 and yes if you have proof of your stash you have been using hopefully they will give you a 10

nice to hear from you @wohmum

i think bouncing about is normal - 1-3 gain. Then 1-3 lose

no one’s weight ever is always the same

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 06/02/2026 09:14

Morning!

Bkondes, it’s such a good point, it’s not normal for weight to stay exactly the same. I have to remember that and not panic!

I've had so many decades of trying to make the numbers on the scale go down that I didn't consider trying to deliberately make them go up! 2 books and a full bottle of wine and they went up slightly and seem stuck there. Ive put them away, will concentrate on eating well, and not too much, and wait to see the damage when I'm back home. No point in stressing about it on holiday.
