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

Yes, I thought pharmalous was free delivery but found out its now £4.99 . I went with trying with them as I looked into the maintence side of things and only heard good things about it, and can start with them with a bmi of down to 21.
I've not looked into medican market place so not sure what their take on it is, but if its the same then I would of gone with them. All about saving money, shame you can switch round suppliers easily when at a lower bmi.

Another update about Pharmulous..I posted further down the thread in more detail. Very quick and easy to order from. I emailed them a few questions and they called me back. You can specify delivery date too. If you have a gap you have to start again in 2.5. I ordered 10 mg but am going to dose 5 mg each time so there will be a gap! Told them i had a couple of pens in stock and wanted to order in advance so I keep a couple in stock which is true at the moment.

That’s what I am planning to do

5 seems to keep me on the steady

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/12/2025 08:51

Lost 2 so hit the 100lb loss again but to me it’s not the right weight and in too skinny

never would have said that before

done my last 5 from A 10.

I don’t know whether to drop again next week to 2.5 but is that mad for Xmas week or wait for Xmas and in Jan do 2.5

I would like to know if I can sustain this weight loss without anything and be lovely to save the money if I can

but I read so many stories that it creeps back on that I’m almost scared to come off

you take antid daily or other medications if need then so why not this - apart from the fact it costs lol

I have the fear of the creep, I really need to begin tapering in the new year though. Getting the balance right feels very tricky! It would be amazing if I could maintain on 1.25, but I can’t imagine coping on that.

wohmum · 12/12/2025 16:00

Could someone please remind me of how many clicks to count to get 5 out of a 7.5 pen ? I know there is a table somewhere ...

@Blondeshavemorefun i'd definitely be waiting until after Christmas to drop down to 2.5 . I think this Christmas will be the hardest for all of us, on gauging how best to handle the additional food around the house without the stronger doses we all had last year. I'm due to start my next pen - am not 8 days overdue, so its been 2 weeks, but I think I'll wait until Monday and hopefully take a 5 dose .

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/12/2025 16:03

@wohmum it’s 40 as 2/3 of 7.5

Thank you!

NippyNinjaCrab · 13/12/2025 13:10

Hello hello 👋, thank you @20bloodypounds 😊
@Blondeshavemorefun I think you would be okay to drop tbh as it has built up in your system so the first 2.5 will top up what you still have. I have obviously gained since June but I know why and I have managed to lose a pound this week going back to my healthy habits. Its far to easy to slip back and become complacent for sure. I was seriously thinking about ordering a pen, I cant afford it right now so I will see how I am in the first quarter of 2026. X

FlappingMadly · 14/12/2025 09:41

Hello! I'm hearing too skinny, goal and maintenance and other fine phrases! Lovely pics.

I'm still on MJ, jabbing more or less every 10 days. My plateau finally broke and i'm losing steadily - 1kg over 3/4 weeks. I'm on 5mg at the mo and haven't dropped calories much, so no dramatic loss. No thoughts yet of stopping.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/12/2025 21:35

Well done for losing @NippyNinjaCrab

and well done @FlappingMadlyfor breaking plateau

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.

Motnight · 16/12/2025 13:06

Sorry not been on this thread much, have had a cold from hell and also DH not been well. Thought that I would pop back and say that I am 2 lbs away from losing my second elephant's penis 🤣

@Blondeshavemorefun you look amazing. @Azuresky68 you do as well!

morbidcuriosity · 16/12/2025 14:08

@Motnight2nd elephant penis? So 120lb?? Wow.. thats amazing! Well done you.

FurForksSake · 16/12/2025 14:35

Had an interesting conversation with my physio yesterday. I told him I’d started taking calcium to help my bones heal etc and he told me that was a good thing. He was saying that the only upside to being overweight is that it protects your bones from osteoporosis better. So I’m going to take my calcium and vitamin d and when I can I’ll start doing some daily jumps to try and protect my bones.
