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

I’m still on 12.5 but will be down to 10 after this pen and then hopefully tapering to 5. Ideally I’ll eventually get to 2.5. My suppression is very up and down. I injected last week Monday and I’ll inject on Friday night or Saturday morning this week as we are going on holiday.

on holiday next week so hoping I’ll get through ok. We are staying remotely so eating in every night and planning lunches or ice creams out. But there should be lots of walking to somewhat offset.

morbidcuriosity · 29/07/2026 22:54

Bmi 24. 100% still switch about to get the discount. Think im.21.5 ish. So sticking . But dropping the dose.has me.at the top of my range. Just hoping I can shave off a.few lb to get me.back in the middle..

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/07/2026 22:58

As I said I’m at the top of my ballpark. And can’t seem to drop the 3lbs to get back to my happy place

holiday finally next week and maybe this time I will gain as not on 15 as I was then

@FurForksSake good to hear from you! Have a lovely holiday 😘

FurForksSake · 30/07/2026 20:27

i haven’t weighed in weeks. I need to do that when I get back and deal with whatever comes from it.

we went to the zoo on Tuesday (Hertfordshire) and I had one scoop of ice cream and two pieces of pizza. So I felt like I’d been indulgent but actually it was very manageable.

ShyKoala · 30/07/2026 22:26

Hi all, I've been on this journey with you all from the start but have never posted before. I started out at 84.5 kg dropped to 59 kg & am now 60.5 kg my max dose was 15 mg so hardcore & have gradually reduced to 1.25 every 10 days to maintain which worked really well until a change in my Hrt caused weight to start increasing only got to 64.8 kg before going back to 2.5 mg which has brought everything back down & under control again. This is just to say thank you for all the support you have unknowingly provided & I'm sure there are many like me who have stayed silent on this journey & only ever told partner about my jabs but never shared my weight etc. It's a long road but we've all made it😁.

Azuresky68 · 31/07/2026 13:08

Good morning. Weighed today and same as before my holiday..8 stone 13. Up until January I bewas around 8 stone 7. Before that from August to January I was 8 st 5. Shockingly I am BMI 25.4. I want to lose 6 pounds to get back to 8 st 7 but am goibg to try and do it on 7.5..have been on 10 for ages and went up to 15 to get to my lowest.

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/07/2026 20:53

FurForksSake · 03/08/2026 17:48

Afternoon! We are on our jollies. I had to turn the car around to go home and jab as I forgot! Luckily we’d only got to the end of the street. I’d gone ten days to move the jab to Saturday morning to cover me for the holidays.

I’ve done 11k steps today, a lot for me! I share with you an update photo. I’m feeling quite fluffy but I don’t think I look it.

Azuresky68 · 03/08/2026 21:59

@FurForksSake you look so slim on that photo! Have a lovely holiday. Not sure what you mean by fluffy? 😅

Azuresky68 · 03/08/2026 22:04

I think I am still at 9 stone but my weigh in isn't until Friday. Apart from one pair of size 8 jeans, which are a little tight, all my clothes fit me and I feel like I look pretty good for my age. Love all my clothes and love my life! Finally got a date for my parathyroid operation near end of September 😱

morbidcuriosity · 03/08/2026 22:47

jabbed my 6.25 today, wish me luck.. weight 10.10, so middle of what i want.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/08/2026 23:26

Happy holidays @FurForksSake. Yes looking very slim. Fab news about op

Good luck - are you increasing your dose or reducing it? Sorry I can't renember. I am trying to reduce whole still trying to lose weight.

FurForksSake · 04/08/2026 08:19

@Azuresky68 yes, good news you have a date. Will you be off your feet for long from the surgery? Back up and fit and fighting by Christmas?

morbidcuriosity · 04/08/2026 12:50

@Azuresky68 reducing. Ideal would be to maintain at 5mg. Like blondes did, until it went pear shaped with the 2.5 . (Sorry) . But 5 every 9 or 10 days sounds affordable.

Yep went really tits up and haven’t really recovered from it

I may go up to 12.5 but struggle to pay for 10 - after my holiday and kick my butt back into it as I’m too and weight and need to get back into the zone

I’m not eating as healthy i could. I eating too many snacks /crap food

thr food noise is crazy and I’ve said before , I never thought i had food noise

but I bloody well do !

FurForksSake · 05/08/2026 07:11

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry to hear you are struggling. Are you still taking the inusol or whatever it was?

after holiday can you go back to basics with what you are eating? High protein, low carb, high fibre and lots of fluids? Maybe add in some berberine capsules or psyllium husk to see if that helps with fullness?

Azuresky68 · 06/08/2026 11:09

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry to hear you are struggling but you have done really well to stay in your 3 pound ball park. I am still just under 9 stone and on 10. Have a great holiday 😀

Azuresky68 · 07/08/2026 09:38

Back to Friday weigh in, although day of jab day is variable. Lost a pound this week so back to 8 stone 12...my happiest weight was 8 stone 5 which I maintained from August 2025 to January 2026 but I will settle for 8 stone 7. You might remember I had a shocking gain beginning of July when i weighed in at 9 stone 4 after 2 weeks away. Sadly been on 10 for a year but titrating down very gradually. Best wishes to all.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/08/2026 09:57

What’s inusol@FurForksSake

yed need to go back to basics. I know what to do but you know what it’s like

I will be drinking tons of water as hot but also some gin in evenings

well done for losing a lb @Azuresky68

Just contacted Swift Doctor on What's App. Part of my message: As you must be aware people sometimes alter the frequency of dosing ie every 5 days or even up to every 10 days. What is the gap between orders please?
Their answer is every 8 weeks. 10 mg costs £249 with free p&p. Think I am going to swap now. They answered straightaway on WhatsApp 👍 PS go on Monji to get £10 off code for Swift

FurForksSake · 07/08/2026 11:57

@Blondeshavemorefun wasn’t there some powder or something you were taking? Like psyllium husk. Maybe not. https://amzn.eu/d/03KtRdOy
