I am mid way through week 2 on my second pen and stuck with 2.5 - although am tempted to go up as my suppression is nowhere near the same as it was

I am being tempted and my willpower is waining

2.4lb lost this week. I'm still on my 2.5mg pen but my next pen will be 5mg. I'm thinking of just taking 3.75 as it seems to be working OK, and it will make the pen last longer.

My jeans are noticably looser, but just very loose around the waist and not falling down, so I'm still wearing them for now. I tried on some old 29 inch waist jeans and was able to button up, but it was too tight to be flattering. I've lost a lot of weight from my boobs unfortunately and my bra looks awful.

@HollywoodTease I am also a clothes hoarder and have lots of old clothes that I was hoping to fit back into, so I don't need to buy more clothes for now. I need to get them down from the loft and have a rummage through though.

I've not experienced any breath issues, but I feel thirstier. I try not to drink too much if I know I'm going to be out (as it's annoying getting to a toilet) but that means by evening I'm drinking mug fulls and having to get up a lot at night to pee (which I don't usually need to do).

Another 2.5 off this week after the first week of 3.75. 22.5 so far now. I definitely noticed an increase in suppression this week, although side effects have increased, they have been manageable so far. 🤞

Onbdy · 06/03/2026 11:12

@Rubytoes
Well done! I have noticed the increased thirst too.

Perimenoanti · 06/03/2026 11:17

My body and scales are playing tricks on me. I peed for the whole world yesterday, but apparently I gained another kg. I thought I was whooshing yesterday but no. Honestly where does it actually come from, I don't get it. I know I need to keep calm and keep doing what I am going and it will all disappear soon.

It is no wonder I never managed to stick with anything if this how it goes every time before I actually lose weight. I go into a deficit for days and days, pee until there is no tomorrow and end up 'gaining' weight before it all comes off and more.

I am also irrationally hungry. Well I was. I ate my overnight oats and feel hungy and about to throw up at the same time. It's week 2 of 0.5mg so I guess I am still adjusting and am on a rollercoaster. I don't feel like eating but I feel somehow hungry, dizzy, nauseous, about to pass out.

cautiouslyoptimistic3 · 06/03/2026 11:20

After my hairy few days I found taking electrolytes helped so it’s possible i got too dehydrated. Have ordered some more tablets and will take them daily as well as the usual water. Still not feeling 100% as feeling quite lethargic probably because I struggled to eat much over the last two days. But I did have a whoosh on the scales. I’ve lost about 9 pounds in total over 5.5 weeks and Shotsy tells me that averages at 1.5 pounds a week. Will focus on nutrition and health over next few days.

whiteandblackfluffycat · 06/03/2026 11:20

I also had a clothes sort out recently. I had lots of summer clothes in my current size from a couple of years ago (before I put the weight) on which I was looking forward to getting back into. However, on trying them on I realised that my tastes have changed a bit now I’m in my mid 40s, so I’ve been treating myself to a lot of new dresses on vinted (brand new with tags). So multiple bags of clothes have gone straight to the charity shop which feels great. I’ve kept some trousers and three tops that I still love, but everything else has gone and I basically have a new wardrobe for my holiday/ the summer! The dresses will still fit fine once I’ve lost a couple more stone, due to my shape and the style.

Etherealcelestialbeing · 06/03/2026 12:33

Weigh in day for me and 3lb off this week!
SW: 13 lb 6
CW: 12 lb 3

I am sticking with the 5mg for pen number 3 as I have good suppression for 6 days a week and side effects seem to have settled down.

I wore some size 16 trousers as part of my world book day costume yesterday (I’m a teacher Grin) and they kept falling down so I put on a belt and had to cinch it to the smallest hole!! I am not getting rid of any clothes yet - I just can’t believe this will last!

bookwormcrazy · 06/03/2026 12:49

I have been a bit MIA for the last couple of weeks as DH is still in hospital. I have still being doing the jabs but not really focusing on what I eat. It’s kind of been the least of my problems so I’m happy that I have still managed a 2lb loss this week.

SW - 15st 11lbs
CW - 14st 5lbs
GW - 10st 7lbs

I have got my golden dose to do with a new pen sat in the fridge. I will see how the next week goes with DH to decide whether I just stop because I’m not really putting any effort in.

Perimenoanti · 06/03/2026 17:34

@CatNoBag Good to know it happens to others too. My taste and breath are still bad today. I stocked up on mints in case I have to speak to someone.

Ralphiesaurus · 06/03/2026 17:56

So my weight is still all over the place... ricocheting up and down... but saw a friend at lunchtime (who doesnt know Im on MJ) and she said I've lost loads of weight ... so must be sort of going in the right direction?

FrostyFlo · 06/03/2026 18:46

I've posted about this up thread about having some debilitating symptoms and was due to up my dosage with my new pen .
On Sunday I sent a message to my provider ( they made a few suggestions but I was already doing them ) On Monday I decided to buy a lower dose ( current one ) rather than start the next dose up of the pen I had already .
On Tuesday I contacted them to request a lower dose and they replied they would have to do a manual order , and it was not until Wednesday they confirmed they had done it and sent me an invoice to confirm .
I was due to take a dose today ( My week 9 ) but no show . I contacted them to see if it has been despatched and no it hasn't even been passed into the dept that issues them !
They then sent me a form to fill out and said it would be looked at within 24 - 48 hours and then despatched .
I created merry shit , and a host of to ing and forthwith messages took place and they fast tracked it and gave me a tracking number .
Just checked with DPD and they don't yet have it . Fuming is an understatement . This could still be 2/3 days before delivery .
This is a well used and known company . I'm going to be days non jabbed .

Im glad someone is seeing the same i do. All over the place. There is a downward trend, but I am randomly 'putting on weight' too. My chart has weird spikes. I would not mind a pound here or there, but im talking 2-4lb up at once. I know its considered normal, but it is messy.

@frostyflo name and shame please?

notcomfortable · 06/03/2026 19:20

No idea what's going on
I've stalled for the past 10 days
Weighed today and I've gained 2kg Confused

Woohoo , they are sending it by Parcel Force so it should be here tomorrow by 1pm . Parcel Force has just sent a confirmation email . I've got my fingers crossed .

Join the club! Hope we are all whooshing soon. No idea what i will do if the scales are up again tomorrow.

Concernedcatmum · 07/03/2026 07:34

Hi all hope everyone is doing well, haven’t posted for ages sorry. Works been super busy and the kids have been unwell with one thing after another. Roll on spring/summer and better weather! I have done 8 weeks of 2.5mg but found my weight loss had stalled a bit by week 7/8 - still had suppressed appetite but just wasn’t loosing weight. So I’ve gone up to 5mg as of last week. Not felt too bad on it, tiny bit more nausea. Have started having protein smoothies in the am as that’s when it’s the worst and I don’t feel like eating.

SW: 121.8kg
CW: 106.7kg

total weight loss - 15.1kg

Chatgpt tells me this is the equivalent of a medium sized dog, a microwave or 15x1L bottles of water!

Concernedcatmum · 07/03/2026 07:39

Also just to add - am due to inject my second 5mg dose today, and yesterday felt the food noise/hunger much more than my last day on 2.5mg - anyone had the same? Thinking about gradually moving the day I inject forward so I get more suppression in time for the weekend.

glutenisthedevil · 07/03/2026 07:59

Weekly weigh-in for me today and I've lost 3.5lbs! Is that consisted a whoosh? I'm now just 2lbs off losing 2 stone. I'm so happy!

cravingmilkshake · 07/03/2026 09:20

Good morning everyone , weighed in today :

sw 123kg

cw 108.8kg

Tw - anything !

the equivalent of a full size suitcase !

14.2kg loss since Jan - took my second 7.5mg on Thursday and I think when I reorder, I’m going to stay on the 7.5mg for another month.

I hope you all well and have a lovely weekend . X

BeWildPearlFish · 07/03/2026 11:27

I weighed today, 1lb off which is as much as I could have expected. Still going down though!

Since Jan 1st I've lost the equivalent of Herman the German giant rabbit (22lbs).

I love the Internet

FrothyCothy · 07/03/2026 15:09

The scales were somewhere they’ve not been since Jan 2022 this morning! Expect it to go up over the next couple of days but it’s very motivating to see the movement trending in that direction. The next stone bracket is in my sights.

notcomfortable · 08/03/2026 07:42

My scales have aligned this morning and I'm another kg off
That means I'm back to where I was last September when I came off mj with a 'total' 30kg lost
But since re starting mj I have lost 8kg so far

bec81 · 08/03/2026 10:45

I went for a big meal out with plenty of wine last night. Im surprised by how much I was able to eat to be honest, and am now pretty disappointed with myself for overeating. Im predicting a gain on the scales on Wednesday
