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

Not me onn 500 cals...think it was @FurForksSake...and I hope I won't offend you @FurForksSake but I don't understand why you are fasting? You have always been super supportive to us all..Obviously you have your reasons and that's your choice. I am 4 ft 11 and currently 8 st 10 (preferred weight is 8 st 5) i am size 8 in most things and happy with that. We are all different in how we feel about our bodies aren't we? As long you are happy that's fine. Sending positivity to you xx

Know i meant how awful /low to be on 500c when I know you struggle on 1000 @Azuresky68

FurForksSake · 18/03/2026 18:08

I’m not fasting! It was a general discussion, don’t worry.

we ate out at the weekend so I had a 900calorie day yesterday as I was just still quite full and a bit of a reset.

Today I’ve done a 3km walk, had a tuna mayo sandwich, a donut, I’ve got pizza and garlic bread in the oven and ice cream for pudding.

I’ve done fasting in the past and I think there’s good science behind it, but it’s not something I’m deliberately doing now.

Yes I have done it too..48 hours one time with only water but wouldn't do it now. I understand about reset. Too many calories one day so a reduced day after. That makes sense!

FurForksSake · 18/03/2026 19:49

This is going to sound vain, but I went to Morrisons today and had two slightly weird interactions. I’m wearing legging type trousers, walking leggings and a fitted top, I took off my fleece as I was hot. Well, I was noticed. The man doing the trolleys got me a trolley and gave it to me as I was walking over (he did not do this for the man who also needed one). As I was walking out I paused slightly and a man nearly went in to the back of me as he was walking so close, he then appraised me as he walked past. I usually live in big jumpers, I’ve never felt so observed. I think I’m going to spend summer living in over sized shirts as I really felt looked at. Might have just been in my imagination but it definitely was a bit noticeable.

NippyNinjaCrab · 18/03/2026 20:21

@FurForksSake bloody creeps! When I was at my lowest I felt super confident with everything and noticed the swing in attention too. You wear what you want and stare right back at the creepy weirdos xx

Medicine Marketplace 10mg £229..not sure about P&P as I can't order until back from holiday.

Just want to check Pharmulous latest price for 10mg

I took first dose of newly opened 10mg pen and it gave a lot of suppression. I am wondering if pens that have been used over a longer period for micro dosing lose their strength? Any thoughts welcome.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/03/2026 16:32

I feel no diff with this 10 new or last ten which was used as a 5 then a 7.5

I ordered 12.5 last weekend and it was £246 and free postage. Dont think ive ever paid postage with them - but not certain!

Azuresky68 · 19/03/2026 16:55

Pharmulous £239 but not sure about discount code. P&P - usually £4.99

Azuresky68 · 19/03/2026 16:57

Guess it depends which one allows longest gaps. Need to do video consultation to start with Medicine Marketplace

how are the Fri WWJ ?

I’ve lost a lb so now 10.5

very happy with that so 1lb to take me back to 7st loss

but was in ballpark last week so glad I decided to knuckle down as was worried at 10.8 that I would increase and before I know it be 11st an the sticky slope begins to continual weight gain

and yes I know 11s was my goal but seems my body is happier at lower as am I

I kept to 10/4 - 10/7 for months on 5 so need to get back there ideally for cost

it’s just annoying and scary that if I decide to ever come off that I am
likely to gain like some of you did who came off mj

then that will have been a waste of £2k that I spent losing it in 24/25

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 20/03/2026 10:48

I’ve apparently put on 3lbs, but I know I haven’t. Jabbed 36 or 37 clicks.

mil is very suddenly going in to hospice apparently so the next week or so is going to be survival.

NippyNinjaCrab · 20/03/2026 12:38

I didn't weigh today because I weighed Wednesday. I put on the size 12 walking trousers that were getting super snug around my waist and I had a muffin overload, they fit lovely today so I am pleased with that. I am probably repeating myself but I did 40 clicks Wednesday so 1.67mg. I will do 50 next week and the proper 2.5mg 60 clicks after that. I wish they would bring a pill out, a low dose, I would take it.
I heard the patent for the GLP-1 has or is expiring so maybe we will start seeing lower costs 🤔

FurForksSake · 20/03/2026 12:42

Patent is expiring in some countries, so I don’t know how much impact it will have. But we can have hope?!

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/03/2026 13:06

Sorry about mil @FurForksSake

oh I hope so too @NippyNinjaCrab

so are you going to be a wed weigher

OP posts:
NippyNinjaCrab · 20/03/2026 14:10

@FurForksSake ah okay, I was listening with half an ear so I didn't know exactly what was being reported. We live in hope that the prices do drop as I can see this being a lifelong med.

@Blondeshavemorefun I think for now I will wwj on a Wednesday just because I jabbed the Wednesday, I did like my friday though but I can jab a Wednesday I suppose and WW a Friday. Xx

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/03/2026 14:16

Maybe jab Thur next week. Then Fri week after if like to do it all on a Fri

I find a fr helps my weekend

OP posts:
SilverSprings510 · 20/03/2026 22:56

I weigh on Friday and jab on Mondays. Another 2 off today so lost 108lbs total 🙌🏼

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2026 08:30

Well done @SilverSprings510 !!
how much more would you like ideally ?

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2026 08:30

And being 7s lighter means for me I can play with mini blondes .

Was bouncing on her new trampoline last night - had old one for 7yrs since she was 2 so I bought bigger and she loves it - I wouldn’t have managed that 2yrs ago

Hello everyone! I hope it’s ok if I re join?
I’ve had a quick read trying to catch up- you all sound as if you’re doing really well & remaining on track with your maintenance doses.
Today I am waiting for the post man to deliver my 2.5mg MJ. It’s been absolutely ages since I last ordered it- almost a year. I stopped last August after losing 5 stone over the 12 months from August’24 to August’25. I’ve put back on 1 1/2 stone in total now, mainly in the last 2 months. Mixture of taking a gap from going to the gym- I need to re start the gym. Plus I had a family emergency that took me away from home to care for a dying Aunt. Then lots to sort out- plus it’s been a sad time. I was very close to her.
So I’ve not had the best diet, so I know it’s my fault that I’ve gained. Plus far too many hot chocolates waiting at cold train stations.
I found it’s much harder becoming motivated to diet the old fashioned way once you’ve been on MJ previously. It’s so much easier to diet with the help from MJ.
So because of my high BP & because I’ve been on it before I got it much easier than I thought I would. So I’m 10st 8lbs. I’d like to be somewhere between 9 st & 9 1/2 ideally. I’m only 5’3” I’m now back in the overweight category with a BMI of 26.3- which compared to August’24 is still amazing I know! But I had got down to BMI of 23. So first step is be in the healthy weight category.
So I guess Saturdays will be my new weigh in day, I intend to jab as soon as the pen arrives!!
