March 2026 starters

[Behealthy2026]

hi, I thought I would start a new group. I am waiting for my medical review before being issued with my first dose

I’ve just taken my second wegovy injection. Haven’t had any suppression with the first so unsurprisingly I haven’t lost anything.
will see what this one does! Hopefully I will notice something and not get any side effects

Exactly the same with Bolt. I stuck 2.5 for now as it seems to be working - although didn’t like having to decide so soon either!

Thanks @Pigriver I am not sure how confident I feel about counting clicks, maybe if I'd jabbed more than twice it would be different.

Thanks @Greycatclub I might stick for now too, as you say, it's working and I am anxious about the side effects possibly returning when I increase

@ShebaQueen thats a fantastic loss well done. I would stick if you are still having suppression? I know lots of people that actually get to goal on the 2.5 so I wouldn’t go up unnecessarily.

unless it’s a coincidence I think the second jab is doing something feel a bit sick/refluxy and not hungry for dinner yet!

Thanks @Wegome26 I'm definitely still getting suppression and it's not even wearing off on day 6 or 7. As I said, I felt terrible in week 1, so I guess it's having a big impact on me, even at 2.5. I'm glad to hear of others who have stuck, everyone I know has increased their dose monthly.

Whilst I'm sorry to hear you're feeling a bit nauseous, I've got everything crossed for you that it's starting to kick in for you now

I’m on holiday at the moment and feel the suppression has lifted sooner this week than last. Home tomorrow to weigh and see if I’ve put on 😬

@ShebaQueen well done on your loss! I’ll be having to order my 2nd pen soon and I think I’ll stick to 2.5 this time, and next time potentially, as week 1 of that pen will be at the start of a holiday and although I’ve been ok on 2.5 who knows about 5. I’m also not confident about the clicks and getting that right if I go up. I’ll see how the next pen goes.

Hi, got my pen yesterday I can't decide the best time to take it - morning or evening?
I don't work Fridays so thought best to take it today but not sure whether to do it now or tonight?

I have done mine in the evening because it looks like it takes a few hours so I figure I get a full day's worth the next day. Probably not much in it though.

After waiting 2 weeks since ordering my pen will finally arrive today. I am keen to get on with it but it's my husbands birthday on Thursday and we have fancy meal booked 🙈 I'll start next Friday.

Thanks @Beehivebabe I am going to stick with 2.5 for now and will order today.
@Annex I jab late evening on a Friday. My original plan was to do it then because weekends are usually when I massively overeat, so I was aiming for maximum suppression on Saturday and Sunday. The other advantage is that you can sleep through the initial side effects, even though they lasted a week in my case!
Enjoy your fancy meal @Pigriver!

Whenever fits best into your routine will be the best time to take it. I went for the evening because Im always rushing around in the mornings and if I got any immediate side effects I wanted to sleep through them, but I don't think it really matters.

Just taken my second dose, suppression was definitely wearing off before then but pleased with my first week. I haven’t weighed myself yet as don’t want to get obsessed with numbers so planning to weigh myself every 3 weeks.

I hadn't clicked until I saw it on the shotly app that of course you haven't run out of dose by the time you take your second jab, so you start your second week with a higher amount in your system than the first week.

I was amazed yesterday at the lack of food noise. Had some dhal for lunch, some curry for dinner with a bit of rice and that's all. The amazing thing is that we were at a party last night where there were so many lovely snacks and nice alcohol. I just wasn't interested. Like I glanced at the table a few times and just didn't really feel anything. Previously I'd have filled my plate and gone back for more throughout the evening.

Morning all. It’s great to see all the lbs dropping away from everyone. 🎉
I’ve just had my third injection this morning- all too welcome as Thursday and Friday were hard work with little appetite repression.
Loss was lower this week but still good. I seriously needed the motivation. I swear the exercise has made the difference. I take my dog on a short, but hilly, walk. I can’t breathe for a fair bit of the walk but also feel quite exhilarated as I usually avoid any gradient increase 😂
I should have lost a stone by the next weigh in - only 2lb to go.
only my husband and son know I’m taking the injection- everybody appears to have an opinion on them and I really don’t care to hear them. Nobody has noticed any difference yet, as expected, but need ideas of how to deflect when they do.
Have a great week everyone - it’s amazing to feel hope again ☺️

That's an incredible weight loss @Asgoodas! I did my 3rd jab last night, I didn't notice any reduction in suppression Thursday/Friday so feeling lucky.
I agree with you about exercise, I do think it makes a difference. I have been speed walking every day, and am completely out of breath by the time I get home, I leave my trainers and clothes out the night before, and have to force myself out of the door, but once I'm out and after it's done, I feel great.
Hopefully others will have some ideas of what to say when people start to notice your weight loss. I have been open about the jabs, many of my friends and work colleagues are using them too

Thank you so much @ShebaQueen😊 I have been so good and regimented. It has been harder to decline alcohol 🤣

went out for a bottomless brunch yesterday. Was a little anxious but was fine, had two falafel with some hummous then a chicken shish with rice (don’t finish all of either dishes but it wasn’t really noticeable, I didn’t want questions in that environment!). Had a few drinks & keep to my calorie target.

First weigh in for me today

SW 98.5kg
CW 95.3kg

Didn’t expect such a big loss but then I have stuck to my calories and not been overeating. Did a lot more steps than usual too.

Are you using an app to count your calories?

Well done on your loss.

Yes I’m using Team RH to track.

Day 4 of second injection and unfortunately not feeling supression! I wish I had gone for mounjaro now. I will use this pen and then if no improvement I think I will switch. I had massive reduction in food noise and supression on mj and now I wish i had persevered through the initial side effect and carried on.
well done everyone on your losses so far you are doing brilliantly:-)

@ETPhoneHome, well done! Excellent for your motivation 🎉

I ended up losing a pound last week after first shot. The suppression seemed to wear off towards the end of the week.
Unfortunately I wasted a shot when setting up my second job but can bring the next order forward.

What is everyone thinking about the next month?

I have only had two jabs so far but this weekend the lack of food noise has been amazing. I am thinking I might do a second month of 2.5. I don't know if the effects are less if you stay longer on a low jab though. I guess I need to see closer to the time.
