Can anyone suggest a pharmacy that allows bundles and accepts Klarna?

I use oushk and pay by klarna. I bought 5 pens in August and have just ordered again for April

SilenceInside · 14/03/2026 12:43

Swift do Klarna and allow multiple pens.

How do you order multiple pens with Swift? It only gave me the option for one.

Week 52- it's my Monjiversary! I had my first jab on the 14th March 2025 (I got my mum to do it as I was too scared to do it myself!)

2lb off (which after my 5lb off last week is a nice surprise) bringing me to exactly 17st bang on and a total year loss of 8st 9lb, or 55kg.

This year:

-no longer pre diabetic

-all blood markers are perfect

-My BMI has gone from 59.7 to 39.6 today

-stopped my blood pressure medication (only this week, it kept dropping too low so I binned it)

-my fitness levels have gone through the roof, I've halved my walking speed and my Apple Watch says I've gone from an average of 42mins of exercise a day last March to 77mins a day currently.

-I've gone from a size 24/26 to a 16/18

-My knee injury from pre MJ has not got better, turns out it's a lie that losing weight fixes everything

-Contrary to the whole myth you can't build muscle whilst in a calorie deficit, I definitely have through weight training and I have a core of steel from Reformer (albeit that core is still hidden by a layer of fat!)

I have stuck to the same calorie deficit the whole year (1600) and aim for 140g of protein a day minimum.

Its been quite the year and obviously I'm not done yet.

Mini interim targets-

5lb until a 9st loss

8kg (18lb) until I'm under 100kg

19lb to a 10 stone loss 😮

Onwards and downwards losers!

What amazing results @Fffreeeeezing! If you don't mind, could you please share some examples of what you eat in a day? Or your favourite meals?

I'm managing 100g of protein on 1500 calories, but after 4 weeks, it's already getting a bit repetitive.

user593 · 14/03/2026 15:09

Congratulations @Fffreeeeezing, that’s fantastic progress!

At what point were you able to come off your BP medication? I’ve lost 28.3kg so far, BMI is now 42.3, but I’m not sure if the weight loss will help with my BP medication as my BP issues were triggered by pre-eclampsia.

How do you order multiple pens with Swift? It only gave me the option for one.

@RenegadeKeeblerElf Is that Swift Doctor, or Swift Medi? I am using Swift Doctor at the moment, and it lets me add up to three pens on an order - on the page for Mounjaro where you select which dose pen, it has a Quantity selector that lets you select up to 3 pens.

Oh, I didn't know there were two! It was swift medi I think, there was a drop down box for quantity but the only option was one pen. I'll try Swift doctor. Oushk is a bit too expensive.

SilenceInside · 14/03/2026 16:32

I'm sure you've probably already seen it @RenegadeKeeblerElf but you can get £10 off your first order with Swift if you use the code on the monj website.

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 14/03/2026 17:08

All sorted, I've ordered three pens, just hope they still have the extra dose!!

CatAtTheWindow · 14/03/2026 17:18

@Fffreeeeezing Wow! Those results are truly amazing. Well done you!
Happy Jabiversary 🎉

lost 1lb of the 2lb I put on last week, would love to get 4stone off by 1 year anniversary 16th April but I have a cruise booked for just over 2 weeks time so that could scupper things.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 14/03/2026 10:40

@RenegadeKeeblerElf
I think you're doing fine, although you're disappointed this week.

0.4kg is a good loss for someone who is on week 35 of MJ.

It's still almost 1lb in imperial measurements.

At least it's a loss and not a stall or an increase. I've stalled again this week, but I haven't got much left to lose now.

I know it's ok, I'm just impatient! Or maybe greedy - I love the dopamine hit I get from the big losses 🤣 I do need to be careful not to let that lead to pushing too hard and dropping my calories too far.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 14/03/2026 17:49

I'm a terribly impatient person too. I understand.

But you won't get big losses as time goes on.

That isn't how women's bodies work.

Weightloss always slows down, and that's normal.

At this point, although I had some big losses at the beginning, I was losing about a pound a week.

It then became a pound a fortnight.

Don't beat yourself up! You're doing really well. In another year you'll probably have lost a further 4st.

Yes, it can seem agonisingly slow - but it's always going down.

I'm almost in month 28 and I'm nearly there. So 116 weeks. You've done a third of that so far, and you'll be amazed at how quickly the time will pass.

I'd post a slice of MN cake but it's probably got a lot of calories in it.

Ah fuck it! Have a slice of virtual cake!

Turns out there’s a lot of chocolate to be eaten at The Chocolatarium! But I just enjoyed it all 🤭 and made the rest of my food today good choices. Annoyingly I got a chicken ceaser salad but it was absolutely soaked in dressing, I may as well have had the burger!

Definitely recommend the chocolate tour for anyone visiting Edinburgh!

I'm managing 100g of protein on 1500 calories, but after 4 weeks, it's already getting a bit repetitive.

Hi @CastlebarkI’m afraid I might be a bit repetitive as well 😬 I tend to only have 2 meals a day, mainly so I can eat a lot more calories for dinner as I don’t get that much suppression.

For breakfast I always have 225g of high protein fat free yoghurt (Sainsburys and Tesco sell it, it’s way cheaper than Greek yoghurt, has the same taste/consistency/ingredients but significantly cheaper than Fage), Collagen powder (I use Willpowders), Chia seeds, vanilla inulin powder, fruit of some kind (I like peaches and mangos) and a sprinkling of protein granola, that’s around 50g protein in total.

For dinner it’s usually chicken or salmon, some kind of veg (usually peppers and/or Spinach) and either rice or sweet potato. And here’s the random item, cottage cheese. I bloody love the stuff and tend to eat it with most meals, I think it’s a replacement for coleslaw which I used to eat with every meal (I’ve gone right off coleslaw now). That’s around 75g of protein.

After dinner I have either a Muller protein mousse (20g protein) or if I’ve had slightly higher protein through the day, I have a bar of chocolate, usually a Ripple or a flake.

If I were a vegetarian or even worse (for me) vegan, I would seriously struggle as I tend to eat a very meat/dairy heavy diet.

I rarely snack, mainly because I’ve never really been a snacker, even pre MJ.

I use a lot of different seasonings for meat/fish, always Chicken thighs(skinless boneless) because I think they taste better than breast and I’ve always got some packs of Iceland chicken skewers in the freezer for dinner emergencies. MJ has given me a lot of food aversions though, I have seriously gone off foods I previously loved, coleslaw is just one of many!

52soon · 14/03/2026 19:46

@Missingducks how have you got on, I was put on it by diabetes nurse and by October my bloods were in the normal levels and came off diabetic meds, I’m also off my C-pap machine for sleep apnea, just got to make them take me off BP meds now! I’m a 1lb a week loser but it all adds up!

PearlsTeapot · 14/03/2026 19:49

I’m obsessed with cottage cheese too BUT only Longley Farm! No other will do. M&S do the chives flavour, and the pineapple flavour, and I have it every single day with a protein bagel and some ready cooked flavoured chicken. That’s about 30g protein for my lunch every day. Current favourite chicken is mango and lime.

I have a clear protein drink for 20g every day too.

And breakfast every day I have Greek yogurt with blueberries and honey, 5-10g protein.

@Fffreeeeezing can you please show me the yogurt you mean from Tesco? I’m unable to find it on the website and I hate the consistency of protein yogurts that are super thick, so would be good to know what your fave is that you say is similar to the Greek yogurt! Thank you!

Edited

Hi @user593I only came off the medication a week ago, I’ve been on them for about a decade and started them due to an autoimmune condition I had. It was a fairly low dose though (8mg of candesarten) and previously it kept my BP exactly where it should be. But I’ve been getting some dizzy spells lately and felt a bit lightheaded so I checked (I have a home BP machine) and it was low for me (100/60) so I stopped the medication. I have been checking on it several times a day since I stopped though and it’s bang on where it should be now thankfully!

user593 · 14/03/2026 19:54

@Fffreeeeezing That’s amazing, you must be so pleased! I’m on a high dose I think, 10mg Amlodipine. I think my BP has come down a bit but I’m trying not to obsess over it as it’s still relatively early days. I never had any problems until my youngest was born 2 years ago 😔 but it’s been good in a way as it’s a big part of the reason I decided I needed to sort out my weight!

Fffreeeeezing · 14/03/2026 19:57

@PearlsTeapotI’m with you on the Longley farm stuff, sadly the only place that sells it where I live is Iceland and they often don’t have it in stock.

the yoghurt is this one, look how much cheaper it is than Fage!

I believe that cottage cheese is the devil's spawn, but many people apparently think that this one from Tesco's is exactly like Longley Farm.

I’m under 100kg! 99.7 on the scales this morning, very pleased with that. Onwards and downwards!

Week 44, 4.5mg
SW 140kg/22st BMI 50.2
CW 99.7kg/15 st 9.7lb BMI 35.7
Total Loss 40.3kg / 6 st 4.3lb
First Goal Weight 83kg/13 st for BMI 29.8

Also trying to aim for 7st loss by my jabversary if I can, about 10lb to lose in 8 weeks, feels doable.
