January 2026 Starters - dog-gone weightloss

[BooptotheFloof]

I hope it’s okay to start a new thread as we are getting dangerously close to the end of thread 1

My current stats are

MJ 2.5mg just taken dose three
planning on staying on 2.5mg for my next pen
SW: 13 stone 9.4lbs
Week 1: lost 11 lbs
Week 2: lost 3 lbs
Total weightloss: 1 stone (a small jack russel terrier)
GW: 9 stone 7

We have some newbies joining mid month so let’s cheer them on - we’ve got this ladies!

I had exactly the same order and the same odd message today! Medexpress?

Yes! Glad it’s not just me!

Thanks for the new thread x

Thanks for the new thread!

Stats:

MJ 2.5mg second injection yesterday.
SW: 12 stone
CW: 11 stone 5 (last weigh in - Friday morning)
GW: absolutely no idea - five foot two so could go down to 7.5 stone and still not be underweight apparently!

Week one: lost seven pounds
week two: lost two pounds

just emailed Boots and will go up to 5mg after my fourth injection.

just ate some roast chicken one roast potato half a Yorkshire pudding and some peas - I do not feel good at all now

Does anyone feel a difference with the different injection sites? Saw some people say they get better suppression from certain sites

I actually felt a bit bloated this morning when I woke up! Have lost a whole stone in 2 weeks. I was eating healthily in the days running up to starting. Its working really well and I am planning to stay on lowest dose unless something changes. I can cope with hunger and food noises day 5 -7 knowing it is temporary.
Has anyone, done postoffice collection ? I wanted to know if it works ok?

Wow, a stone! Can you feel/see it?

I read stomach is better. But not sure how evidenced based that is.

Yes, I can some clothes not quite as tight but not expecting that to carry on at this speed as it will be muscle loss. I was eating really badly before I changed eating habits. I am expecting it to really slow down now. I am tracking calories.

I read right side is closer to stomach so people find this works better. I done right side last week and left this week and have had nowhere near the same suppression.. this may just be in my head/a load of nonsense but thought I’d ask anyway

I’ve tried three different places - left hand side, right hand side and below my belly button - can’t tell any difference tbh

I’ve lost over a stone now and I got my size 14 jeans out of the wardrobe this morning with great glee ….

They went straight back in the wardrobe - I think I was expecting too much too soon. I could do them up with some gentle persuasion - but wouldn’t have been able sit down 😬

I’ll try again in a couple of weeks!

I think am going to stick it out, for another bit anyways.

I am going to try the 5 mg.

Its just such an odd feeling to contend with.

I suppose others have v&d, or acid reflux or other side effect. I've none bar the taste. We all have a story/effect. Mad they are so varied tho!

After 3/4 days like this, this evening I played 2 hours of singles tennis. I was determined to do so as if I didnt have an appetite after that, there must be something wrong.

I am now ravenous and a cottage pie in the oven. I am so relieved.

Exercise in the fresh air helped. Still things don't taste right, but for the first time in a few days, Ive the want to eat 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂.

@BooptotheFloof Losing over a stone is fantastic and at least you could get them on!

I’ve been alternating both sides of my belly button and have had the same great suppression with both sides.

Thanks for the new thread.

Did jab 4 of 2.5mg this morning. Lots of liquid left in the pen so I’m going to use the golden dose next week. I’ve got a 5mg pen coming next week too so that can wait till the following week.

No side effects so far, not hungry at all. Food’s become a bit boring the be honest.

I’ve lost 4kg in 3 weeks, but only 0.5kg was this week. Currently wearing size 12 trousers (from M&S so vanity sizing) which are noticeably looser and I can see my tummy is flatter.

Mostly worried about loosing my boobs, as they’re my best feature 😂

Marking my place in the new thread. Third jab tomorrow so will post updated stats then.

Had a very unplanned day yesterday due to unexpected visitors so ended up eating out, missing the gym and having cake. I shared a starter, stuck to Coke Zero and only ate half my main so could have been worse. Looking forward at getting back into routine tomorrow!

By chance I have done the same, not noticed any difference yet.

I done my right side of stomach, not a single ounce of suppression 😂

My boobs are horrible now 🥲 but I think I only had boobs cos I was over weight🙈 puberty wasn't kind to me lol
I was a DD at my highest weight, now in a b 🥲

Did you have suppression with the left side?! I’m going back to right this week before I decide if staying on 2.5 is worth it, I’ll maybe try a thigh for week 4 😂

i weighed yesterday and really disappointed to be honest. I've only lost 2.5lb over 2 weeks. Jab 3 to do later this evening. I'm following slimming world so i'm eating healthily. I wasn't going to rush to increase but at this rate I will! I have managed to go to the toilet now so hopefully that's another lb gone!

Has anyone had bolt deliver to anywhere other than home address?

Tonight I am uncomfortably full after a home cooked roast chicken dinner. I ate about 2/3 of my usual Sunday portion, no pudding, no wine (dry Jan) and I am absolutely stuffed. It just shows how out of whack my portion sizes have been for what I need.
I still have concerns over my digestive system this week. I have had to get to the bathroom sharpish once or twice and my job makes that very difficult!

Does anyone here do intermittent fasting? I’m debating whether I should eat small amounts for breakfast this week or just fast til lunch as I do when I’m on the wagon.

I do IF. I have had to have breakfast once since starting wegovy. It has occurred to me that I might have to stop IF for a while but still figuring out as appetite can vary quite a bit from day to day.

I had about half of my usual Sunday roast at lunchtime today and am still stuffed.

That’s good to know. I think I will take breakfast to work with the view of not eating it. I could eat it mid morning if I need to.

I read a lot of info that said intermittent fasting is not advised with WLI because you need to eat small and often rather trying to fit all your meals into a shorter time frame

I am a breakfast avoider in my usual life and I have made a concerted effort to eat breakfast every day

I’ve only missed it once in three weeks and I feel fuller all day rather than hungry for lunch and dinner …. I’ve had no side effects other than painful bloating in my first week but I have added more fibre to my diet since then

I am not eating rich food and I don’t drink alcohol anyway, I’ve come off of all fizzy drinks except water and my stomach seems to be happy with my food choices - so far!!
