We have all been on for heading up to 20mths now- we gathered our courage and started what would be a memorable journey for us all - made some hopefully forever friends

Gather round my little auggies 😍 and we are all doing amazingly so be proud of yourselves

The amount of weight per person lost varies from 1-2stone - 3-4 - 5-6 - 7+
in a year

We are amazing !!!

All of us have totally changed our body shape - reduced our bmi and weight and hopefully improved our health
most of us are at goal - and working out how to maintain - some nearing it

And some still have weight they want to lose

We are still here cheering you on till you get to your happy weight so please do carry on posting

Some have stopped for cost - esp after the aug announcements - still so thankful we started it when we did
Imagine Aug 25 and being told 2/3w later prices were increasing lots

I def couldn’t have managed a year of mj at new sept prices esp as doses didn’t really effect me even 15 !

ALL of us have lost weight and I love the fact we are all so supportive to each other over weight and our general day to day lives

This next year will almost be harder.
To keep the weight off Esp if reducing dose or off completely - and we are finding it def harder to keep weight off with lower doses

Im still very slowly losing although I did briefly see the 'next bracket' down in lbs this week (added a click this week and my digestion has slowed so hoping its that!) - fair way to go still. I got a code for numan from another thread im on for my last pen (10mg 😭) and have a code i can share that gets you £100 off if you're new. Think they're more expensive than most without the code - but I think my 10mg was £209 with the code. So if anyone is interested feel free to drop me a message!

@Blondeshavemorefun it was my dd's birthday on Saturday too - but she's about 30 years older than miniblondes!

@Azuresky68 Tina the musical is excellent. Such energy.

Oushk are now sending out both my pens after being difficult, 12.5 now and 10.5 on the 18th as I wanted a different strength.

morbidcuriosity · 30/03/2026 16:10

Quite a few people on 10mg. I still not brave enough to try less. Haha. Just ordered 2 x 10mg pen from pharmalous, think I've decided gonna carry on with 10mg until I get a new pen then get 5 x 8mg out of the pen and try that way.
Im still under my 11 stone top weight, although it did go back up to 10.12 but I had a couple carb heavy days so hope its that.

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/03/2026 16:14

Why 2 now and not another in 4/6w so spread out

O seem to be difficult considering they were the first for maintenance

So will you drop to 7,5 or even 5

Eventually but not yet 😱

Yes I saw it in London and by the end of the week I will have seen it 6 more times 😅😅😅

morbidcuriosity · 30/03/2026 16:39

Ordered 2 as I had extra money, did sime overtime and deliveries stress me out. For some reason I cant re direct to post office with pharmalous and I live top floor flat and sometime the postie decides he dont want to venture up 4 floors.

20bloodypounds · 31/03/2026 13:53

Eek! I am 2 lbs over my preferred maximum. Back on the jabs (as planned on my month on / month off experiement) and will take 5 jabs, each 6 days apart to use up the whole pen before going on holiday. That should take me into a better weight zone.

Have ordered another pen to be delivered before I leave, but will not take any MJ with me on holiday - all far too complicated.

Azuresky68 · 31/03/2026 14:08

Just to let you know my last order with Pharmulous was delivered on 10th February and my next order has been accepted for delivery on 1st April. They asked about the gap and I said I had a stock of pens that I had been using up (true) and in future I would be ordering every 5/6 weeks. No proof required, although my previous pen was from them. Good news.

morbidcuriosity · 31/03/2026 14:47

Got approved for pharmalous , delivery next week.
They seem to be very easy to use and quick.

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/03/2026 17:12

Yes has no issues with them. Tho they do ask why not ordered for a while but still allow

FurForksSake · 01/04/2026 08:53

Oushk have dispatched my pen, phew. And my other pen I ordered to push this one through is going to be delivered in three weeks. So I can then order at a more normal interval. I order 12.5 for this month and 10.5 for next month, I might order a 7.5 for the one after. I’ve still got a few pens as I’ve been click counting. I hope I can keep tapering and then I imagine I will maintain on 5.

we went to Costco yesterday and I had a hotdog. 550 calories or something?! Not worth it. We then had pie for dinner 🫣 I’ve been ordering some easy and nice ish food to avoid takeaways while we are all grieving and I’ve gone back to work, but I do need to rein it in.

Has anyone tried Wegovy before MJ or known anyone make the switch?
Mini eggs and malteser bunnies are my ultimate fave 😍
Im jabbing tomorrow morning a full 2.5mg! Yay
Weighing in Friday

FurForksSake · 01/04/2026 21:07

I’m avoiding the scales until the kids are back at school and trying to loosely do one meal a day as those meals are so calorie dense. I might take a higher dose on Friday, I feel like the 6/7 I’ve done this week has barely touched the sides 🫣

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/04/2026 21:09

That’s how I feel with 10 at the moment @FurForksSake

good luck with 2.5 @NippyNinjaCrab

Hang on in there...is it related to hormones do you think 🤔 The food sounds OK ...did you calorie count? Can you have one treat day and have some hopping bunnies or are they supposed to be for mini blondes? Trouble is chocolate is so high in calories in relation to the fact it's not filling. A small packet of chocolate raisins was around 400 cals and didn't fill me at all. But you are in your ball park so surely you can have 1 treat day a week..it takes an extra 3500 calories to put on a pound. If you never have treats it's going to torment you. Naturally slim people can eat anything but their brain tells them to cut back afterwards..lucky people!

We are on a lifelong journey and doing very well. This maintenance thing is tough but we will support eachother. Just back from work at theatre so wide awake! Must get off my phone now. Night all 🌙🦉

NippyNinjaCrab · 02/04/2026 07:47

Decided to weigh today because we will have a later dinner tonight. One pound off so 10 till original goal, I've just done 2.5mg, if I lose a pound a week I will be a happy bunny. Means it has a better chance of staying off, hopefully.
I reinstated my gym card so I need to try and do at least twice a week and at least 3 machines, rowing, cycle which I hate and cross trainer. And I will add in some band resistance at home and weights at the gym (goal)
Ah this is hard isnt it!? Especially having all the hormones going on that we do throughout our lives.
Hope youre okay forks, hugs xx

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/04/2026 07:54

Yah. Well done @NippyNinjaCrab. Nice to wake up to

@Azuresky68 they are for mini blondes. I almost ate last night but then would have had to buy more today so resisted but did eat a caramel bar instead

yes my food was in my cals so i shouldn’t gain tomorrow but it’s the fact im wanting these things

the food noise is incredibly loud at the moment and i don’t understand it 😢

I never used to get it and didn’t even think I had this food noise people talked about - but now every week it’s calling to me

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 02/04/2026 11:28

I weighted in this morning, I’m 2lbs above my goals weight so 8st4, which is utterly reasonable and a lot better than I expected!

OhWise1 · 02/04/2026 11:44

Ive barely lost anything since christmas. I buy 15 pens then eke them out taking between 10 and 12.5 a week depending om how i feel. Mote than 12.5 is too much. My gut just stops moving, wipes me out and gives ne headaches and stomach ache. I am having an unofficial break over the easter holidays and having a reset-low carbs and plenty of walking and resistance weight. Scales slightly shifting again 🙂 Whem motivation starts to wane I will start again on about 7mg or so. Hope it works! Lost 6st to date and need to lose another 3 to get in healthy range
