Hmm so Medicine Marketplace wouldn't let me switch to wegovy saying I had to have BMI over 30. Has anyone successfully switched from MJ or am I dreaming, on sure this was cited as an option back in August

Doggymummar · 24/02/2026 17:33

I'm gonna ask Oushk but I think they are more expensive

eibbed999 · 24/02/2026 17:33

That made me laugh @TragicMuse - I do that kind of thing all the time! I swear there's a hole in my brain somewhere that stuff just falls out of!

I'm wearing a fitted jumper today which is out of my comfort zone as usually I wear everything baggy, especially as I'm still mostly wearing my old clothes which are hanging big on me now. This jumper is an 18 and it feels very strange to not be hiding in a 24 jumper!

The jumper

The jumper

You look great

Looking good there @PearlsTeapot . I love the jumper 💕

I've been at a work event today, and met loads of colleagues I haven't seen in ages. I got so many lovely comments and compliments, and for once I didn't shy away from the camera. Ive just been looking at the photos, and am not too shy to say I actually looked good, and 'normal'. I didn't stand out as the big girl trying to hide away in the background, what a lovely feeling 😊

Great shape going on there @PearlsTeapot compare that photo with one at the start and it will really surprise you, I did this in December with a photo from February25 and I was actually wearing the same dress and the difference was surreal, I really couldn’t see the it until then.

PearlsTeapot · 24/02/2026 20:35

Here’s me at the start.

0.7ml from a 10mg pen is 11.67mg and 0.8ml from a 10mg pen is 13.33mg, so it would be one of those amounts @TragicMuse

Thank you so much! I was very poorly maths-educated and had a feeling I was way off!!

TragicMuse · 24/02/2026 20:43

Oh look at you @PearlsTeapot! You are looking brilliant!

And well done to you too @Billybingbong!

Onenotsosmallstep · 24/02/2026 21:02

I know you always say that it’s only your top half that you lose weight from @PearlsTeapot but I can see a real difference in your legs in those 2 pictures!

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing!

MCR24 · 24/02/2026 21:55

There's a full length photo of me from the weekend and it looks good if I do say so myself! I've even posted it on insta on my hobby page 😂

Thank you! I’ve definitely lost weight from my bottom half too and sooooo much inflammation.

@MCR24 that’s a great feeling! Happy for you!

You're doing brilliantly @PearlsTeapot

Well, we got to the gynae ward at 07.00, having left home at 04.30.

I was the only woman there whose husband wasn't with her. That really upset me.

At 13.00 I got dressed and left. I still hadn't had my surgery and I was worried about getting back to feed the cats. I was also worried about the poor man who had driven me there.

I got to the car park and had an autistic meltdown, but the very kind doctor had followed me out and she persuaded me to come back.

So I went back, with a promise that I would be able to leave at about 6pm.

I had it done, and biopsies taken, and woke up with labour-like contractions.

At 6.30pm I asked if I could go, and they let me. I'll get the results in a couple of weeks.

Thank you for all your kind wishes. I'm still reeling because my husband knew what I was facing, and he didn't care, and he left me anyway.

I hope his cock falls off.

Well done for sticking it out @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne that sounds hard on lots of levels.

Springflowers2 · 25/02/2026 08:07

Well done @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne ..you did really good yesterday .
You should be proud of yourself

Springflowers2 · 25/02/2026 08:13

Well ,I've been ordering clothes from ASOS in their curve range ,with the lowest size 20/22 ..and everything he had to go back as they were massive on me .
So I've ventured in to the women's collection and found the exact same hoodies in 16/18 ...they look so small on the model,compared to the model wearing the 20/22...I seriously can't imagine they are going to fit ...I am most definitely not a size 16 ..I'm only just a size 18 ...
I get the feeling I may well be between sizes ..or maybe not all my size 20 clothes are very big on me ..
I'm incredibly fussy when it comes to clothes anyway..so add in trying to find the right size ..and it's not a happy experience

That's shit, I'm so sorry. Well done for staying and getting it done it sounds important.

Yesterday I made a 500 calories burrito,with tofu veg and a little rice ..plus a 200 calories tin of soup and a soya coffee..so 3 meals yesterday.
How the hell have I put on 3 pounds overnight...I'm so utterly fed up with how little I am having to eat to loose weight..I'd got down to 16 stone 7 and now it's 16 stone 10 ...again ....
I've decided I'm going to stop at 14 stone ..but at this rate it will be Christmas next year when I actually get there ..

It is hit and miss for a while. I keep putting my partners jeans on by accident I he's about a stone lighter than me now, it was 9.5 before I started.
