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

@FurForksSakebash them on the worktop, pull a tiny piece off then submerge in water for a bit.. then they peel so easy.. I eat a lot of eggs and found this way best..

FurForksSake · 25/11/2025 11:21

Thanks, I’ll try that!

doingitthistime · 25/11/2025 12:21

I'm still here. Currently taking 5 every 14 days, dropping 1mg each fortnight.
Definitely more hungry and more sugar cravings, but so far I'm mostly controlling it by meal planning with plenty of protein. Bouncing around up and down within a pound or so of my lowest weight. Having to be conscious of everything I eat so not sure how I'll feel as I go lower.
If it wasn't for the price I'd probably stay on forever.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/11/2025 14:47

Waves to @WitchDancer. Lovely to have you back. Sorry gained some of the weight but sure if we were all off mj we would gain as well

hope second job is going well and new flat and ds’s ok

I’m still on tho a low dose as slowly trying to wean self off

but I feel that 5 is keeping me ok so want to try and stay on it but only way is if I micro dose

i do love egg mayo sarnies

hmm may have for lunch tomorrow

@doingitthistime. Sounds similar to me. I def have more food noise noise succumb to it and eat biscuits and chocolate

doingitthistime · 25/11/2025 19:01

@Blondeshavemorefun I could stay on it if I could buy the 10 and count clicks, but not sure I could get anyone to let me buy on those terms.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/11/2025 23:01

Tbh I don’t think any of them will approve as such but we buy and don’t tell them

but I’m on 5 out of a 7.5 and will do the same from 10. It’s 40c from 7.5 and 30 from 10

i have 7.5 and 10 via old pres that I stocked

im hoping that when I need a new one I will say that I’m still on 10 and reorder that

then use it as a 5 and order again at 6w so will come by 7 and have a week in the bank as such

Ithinkimrincewind · 28/11/2025 06:05

Still here too! I've put on about 3kg since moving down the doses which im ok with as I'd lost enough for that. Much more and I'll have to rethink dosage though 😦
Im trying 3mg from a 5 just now and like some of you, I'd like to get a 5mg and keep microdosing to keep it affordable but not sure how that will work with ordering.
Oushk ordering got expensive and confusing, any recommendations?

wohmum · 28/11/2025 08:14

morning all, I'm still here checking in every few days. Finished one of my 3 pens i bought in Aug before the price rises, 2 to go. I'm really not sure if its having any effect still - I'm jabbing 7.5 every 10 days to 2 weeks , aiming to drop to 5 every 10 days for the next one. Definitly eating more rubbish, but not ridiculous amounts and keeping an eye on my weigh every week. i tend to go up and down a lb or 2 , which is fine as long as it stays like that.

it sounds like a few of us are in a similar position and just trying to manage the new normal ! I'm hoping to not need to buy again, but i absolutely don't want to put it all on again, so having this little community does help!

Well done @Blondeshavemorefun for generating such a super little group !

morbidcuriosity · 28/11/2025 10:21

This is a new feeling for me which is wierd.. so, I've had people ask me are you done now? Have you stopped now etc. And when I say yes it's an odd feeling like , yes look at me being a healthy weight. All my life its been yes I know I need to lose weight, or when people mention diets I would be like yes I need to go on a diet. Or eating take away thinking I shouldn't really.

Also a new person at work was listening to me and a friend talking , saying 1 more lb to go etc and she was like are you both on diets, every one seems to be. Haha. I think so many people are on MJ and I hear different people now talking about protein etc and calories and this has less calories than that.

Good morning! I am in a similar place..on 7.5. More or less same weight or less since June 2025. I am not stretching to more than 7 days yet. I have 1 x 10 full pen left after the one I am half way through. Thinking about ordering another pen..it will be a 10, then will dose on 5

Azuresky68 · 28/11/2025 11:38

Good morning ...happy to see our thread has revived! I skipped my Friday weigh in last week after a week on holiday half board ...so happy that I am half a pound under the weight I was before holiday.
Weighing in at 8 st 5 BMI 23 and very happy with that. Original goal was 9 stone as I never dreamed I could go below that.
5 stone less than my highest weight back in my fifties. Hovered between 9 stone and 11 stone pre MJ and starting weight on MJ was 11 stone.
Need to order another pen

Azuresky68 · 28/11/2025 11:39

Will copy message into the maintenance thread too.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/11/2025 11:46

I think we all will hover but if on a small dose we should be able to to maintain

I’m still in my ballpark so happy

@wohmum sure it is helping but if not sure then don’t take for a week /extend and see how you feel

I’m too scared to not take it at the moment

think need a good 6mths on 5 or even 2.5 once I’ve ordered a 10 and see how I go

Azuresky68 · 28/11/2025 19:23

Been calorie counting apart from when on holiday. Around 1300 for maintenance which means I have had a few nice treats 😀

FurForksSake · 28/11/2025 19:39

@Blondeshavemorefun it’s funny how our brains don’t catch up. I was stood in front of a mirror at physio and I just don’t see that body as me.

@Azuresky68 that sounds good.

today I’ve had

chocolate brownie dh bought from the bakery - huge.

chicken stew from the freezer, lots of veg and fibre and very filling
piece of bread and butter ( bakery dh bought)
a bonn madman lemon Madeline.

I have no idea how many calories were in the brownie so I’ve been careful for the rest of the day. Also dh wants a takeaway tomorrow, he’s going to a karate competition all day tomorrow with ds2 so he’ll deserve it. Ds2 is going out with his aunt, it’s his Christmas fayre at school and I’m not up to it. He’s going to bring me back a cake

FurForksSake · 28/11/2025 19:40

8st4 this morning. 2lbs off goal. So close now, and that’s the very bottom of my goal zone I think. I’m 5ft2, so it’s not too low but it’s also quite light really. I’m hoping I can maintain over Christmas.
