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

Hey everyone 😍🤗 how are you all apart from slim and slinky?

I've not been around just due to losing touch on the threads after our holiday and we were getting organised to move. I had a few heath flares with my ME and arthritis and the hip that needs reolaced, also a bit of neighbour drama at the old house. I am so glad to be in our wee rural cottage now, its bliss 😊. Quiet and the dogs are so happy.

I've put on half a stone since June which I sort of dont mind as I was too skinny when I came back from holiday. I did have the shits for a week on holiday that left me with the flattest tummy ever haha! But no arse. If I am being honest on this thread I'd rather I was back at my goal weight of 11st. I weighed in at 11st 7lbs and I can feel that half stone. I still fit comfortably in a 12 but I can see that it would be so easy to pile on the weight a couple of pounds every week or 2.

So, I am being mindful again with my portions, I've been bad with the bread and sandwiches for lunch, even having some crisps on the sandwich so that needs to stop.

Tomorrow I will try on the 12 jeans, that will tell me the truth.
DH says he likes me the way I am but its not his body, I hate how being chub makes me feel emotionally, like inadequate.

If I can't manage on my own, and I suspect I won't, I need to get a pen and start on a low 1.25 dose to take the edge of my snacking.

I will WW tomorrow and start logging the weight again. With MJ it was fab going shopping and being able to not be tempted by chocolate, mince pies, or getting ingredients to make a date cake!

Its lovely to read all your posts. Xx

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/12/2025 22:20

Awww my ickle Crustian. Lovely to have you back

glad move went ok and knob dog is enjoying new home

sorry about aches and pains. I def notice a diff on mj and lowering dose

welcome back to friday WWJ @NippyNinjaCrab

Just to let you know Pharmulous is now charging £4.99 for postage to guarantee next day delivery so price for 10 mg is £245 and Ouschk is £254. What's Medecine Market place like for customer service and delivery please?

My experience with Medicine marketplace so far has been very good. My first order was approved in a couple of days then received 24 hours later. I had a phonecall from them on a sunday evening with a question, and lovely on the phone. The last 2 orders I received took 48 hours from order to delivery. They use royal mail tracked 24 - royal mail here are good, but I know it can vary by area wildly!
They asked for a full length photo and a video of you stepping on scale. I feel in safe hands with them. I am going to try Pharmulous too at some point. I gave up with oushk due to delivery dates being so far away.

Azuresky68 · 05/12/2025 07:28

@PoemsForTea Thanks for your reply. I will definitely keep them in mind for next time. I have got my order approved and selected a delivery date this time.

Timetofindme · 05/12/2025 07:33

@Azuresky68 im late to the party (had lost this thread) but i paid £192 for a 7.5 with delivery from Bolt - there was a code from monj to put in at the end.

Im hopping around a bit as still got a way to go so just trying to save where I can.

Azuresky68 · 05/12/2025 07:36

I am now on 7.5 and definitely ate more this week and didn't count my calories every day. On Wednesday I went for a couple of drinks, a thai meal (couldn't eat all of it) then went to the Panto and ate a big packet of chocolate raisins! 2 pounds heavier on the scales today. Going to calorie count unril my holiday. Hopefully will come off next week but if it doesn't it seems to me that I am going to have to be strict forever as my calories for maintenance are 1350

Azuresky68 · 05/12/2025 07:37

Welcome back @NippyNinjaCrabGreat to hear about your move. Look forward to seeing photos of your walks. Are you by the sea?

Azuresky68 · 05/12/2025 07:54

Just calculated my TDEE on a reliable calculator and it's actually 1335 a day as in the winter I probably only do light exercise, that's 1/2 times a week, 1498 if I do exercise 3/5 times a week (moderate)

morbidcuriosity · 05/12/2025 07:57

Pharmalous ladies.. can you select a delivery day? .
I'm going to place an order next week but want it for delivery the week of 15th. Thought I would start the process next week as gonna have to do pics etc.. anyone ordered recently as a newbie that's in maintenence?

Hi there. Yes you can select a delivery date. I started an order yesterday, then noticed they had added on £4.99 compulsory delivery charge. Emailed them along with a few questions and they called me back to answer questions. You need to a full length photo with a piece of paper showing date, photographic evidence of previous doses - I always take photos of my boxes and photograph ID. I cut the panel of each box off and keep the panels with the details on. Last time I ordered was August. If you have had a gap in taking it then you have to start on 2.5 Told them I had a stash of pens and was ordering in advance for Christmas, which was true. It wasn't a problem.

morbidcuriosity · 05/12/2025 08:53

@Azuresky68 thank you. I'm gonna go with them, or try to as cheaper than oushk in the long run, and I've heard once your on their books you can start again with them if you stop.
I plan on trying to come down the pens but want to do a few more at 10mg before I try. My last order was August but think I've got enough proof for them to be ok.
I'll find out next week, bmi is 21.5 so hope that's OK with them. I may weigh at night after a carb heavy meal and a gallon of water to up it a bit. Lol..

Azuresky68 · 05/12/2025 09:17

@morbidcuriosity Medecine marketplace sound like another option too.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/12/2025 09:18

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/12/2025 20:48

we will always be monitoring our weight - as I refuse to gain the weight back

I said that last time when lost 4s on ww and swore I wouldn’t gain it back

I did and 2st more so 6s

this time I’ve lost 7s at lower end of my buffer

don’t want to gain 7s and 2s more

it’s easily done and if k have to weight every week for the rest of me life the. So be it

far easier to lose 3/4 lbs then 3/4s or even 7 if I gain it all back

if clothes get tight I need to diet. Not buy bigger clothes

NippyNinjaCrab · 05/12/2025 20:52

@Blondeshavemorefun I forgot and had already had one mug of coffee! I will need to set the reminders again, I will do it for tomorrow morning and keep fingers crossed.
Wee chocolate chip pookie is going in for another wee op at half 2 today. This is her second in 4 weeks. Bloody hate them going under, I worry because shes 8 now. Well in March.

I will probably forget to weigh in tomorrow 🙃

FurForksSake · 05/12/2025 21:08

Weight gain is so, so easy if you don’t correct it sharpish. I think that’s always been my issue. Going very slightly over maintenance and then not weighing for a while and then it snowballing. I’ll be weighing very regularly and if I go out of my bubble (7st9-8st9) for two consecutive Fridays then I will restrict back to my goal. Much easier to lose 8lbs than six stone.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/12/2025 21:15

Awww paws crossed for her 🐶

you will get into the swing of things again on Fri WWJ

Witwoo! You can really see a difference.

I was thinking about last Christmas when I felt like I’d made a huge difference, and I had but now I can really see it. Same for you, it’s a big difference last year, but this year you’re really looking slim.

I don’t think I took any pictures last year… I am going to have a look for a Christmas jumper and take some this year. I’m inspired.

though I’ve had my haircut and I’m not sure about it, so that’s a pain.

Azuresky68 · 06/12/2025 08:09

Here we all are losing/getting to goal and maintaining for life!!
