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 saw an article that there is enough for half a dose left in the pen so effectively the half from one pen with a half from another pen should in theory provide one golden dose.

Hopefully Governments will start to realise just how much money they’ll save in the long run with people buying their own Mounjaro and do what the Government where I am did. They now pick up 30% of the cost of each pen.

Where are you ?

I can’t imagine UK doing that

Morning, its jab day, weighing Friday I've decided thats my routine now. Should I be brave and jab the full 2.5mg? I did 1.67 last week, 40 clicks, or should I do 50 clicks? Arghhhh.
I have just read a thread where the OP is having bother ordering with Oushk and a few replies on the thread saying the same. I dont want to have an issue ordering my next pen. Unless I order a 5mg and micro dose that for 8 weeks and make it my last one?
Its so expensive I dont want to feck this up,
Who would you all recommend as a pharmacy?
I haven't had any issues with Oushk BTW the consultation after my gap and ordering went smoothly.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/03/2026 08:09

Be brave and jab whole dose - you were ok on 40

O seem to be being difficult for some and esp as they were the first to offer maintenece and why myself and many others moved to them when still losing

as you have low dose pens any chemist will take you on - I like pharmoulous and least they reply quickly

OP posts:
FurForksSake · 25/03/2026 10:50

Oushk queried my gap between pens im still waiting for the outcome. They asked why the gap (stockpiling) and haven’t responded to me since I said that. To be honest I didn’t realise how far in advance I’d ordered, so it was my mistake. I just chose a random delivery date.

NippyNinjaCrab · 25/03/2026 11:51

Ah okay @FurForksSake that seems to be the issue on the other thread. The thing is, the OP had a consultation and explained all this, has a spreadsheet with the pens prescribed dates, jab dates etc and this was all supposedly fine and they were dropping to a 12.5mg pen and now cannot get it prescribed. Oushk want to start back at 2.5mg. That's not on is it?!
Im going to work out my doses, I read somewhere that they have a 6 week window you must order within between each pen, have you heard of this?

NippyNinjaCrab · 25/03/2026 11:52

I felt hungry yesterday well last night but I had a proper portion of dinner, I know i want to feel hunger but I don't after a meal thats been sufficient.

FurForksSake · 25/03/2026 12:02

If they put me on 2.5 I’ll accept it, then hopefully they’ll let me order 5 and then 7.5 in the following months.

my mil passed away and eating has been a bit crappy. I had an almond croissant for breakfast. I’ve not even been tracking calories.

NippyNinjaCrab · 25/03/2026 15:55

Im so sorry thats awful, hugs, xx

FurForksSake · 25/03/2026 16:22

Thank you. It’s all been very quick at the end.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/03/2026 16:40

Sorry about mil @FurForksSake. Even tho you knew was coming doesn’t make it any easier

Hey everyone!

Long time no see!! Well done to those maintaining and good luck to those still trying to lose.

I've been maintaining and have reduced from 15mg to 10mg but I tried to order a smaller pen this time and Juniper went a bit weird. It turns out they just want me to go through a full consultation again but I am wondering if I should switch if I have to faff.

Any recommendations, my BMI is in the region of 22/23.

20bloodypounds · 26/03/2026 12:47

I've been one month on and one month off since last autumn - not had any problems so far with Oushk. Hope they're not getting difficult. And I'm only on2.5mg so it's more straighforward.

Sorry to hear about your MIL @FurForksSake Flowers

WorriedRelative · 26/03/2026 13:03

There was a thread from someone who was having issues with Oushk around time between orders so I thought I might avoid them, plus they seem pricey. Went on Monj and Curely seem cheap so have tried them.

I did my measurements and my waist to hip still isn't within healthy limits so I am wondering whether to try and go and kilo or two lower 🤔

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/03/2026 13:05

If on the lowest dose they are more flexible as like starting from th beginning again

but those /us with the higher doses thy are def questioning it more

they seemed ok when I showed them a pic of my stash
that’s Pharmolous

Thanks, they are on my list, but thought I might see if I could get cheaper first. I am taking 10mg from a 15mg pen at the moment and was going to drop down so I don't build too much of a stash. I have some 10mg pens in stock from the stock issues so could probably manage if a new provider wants me on a lower dose.

PoemsForTea · 26/03/2026 16:57

@FurForksSake Sending you a hug 🤍

SilverSprings510 · 27/03/2026 07:31

Hi ladies, hope you’re all ok! Sorry that some of you are having trouble ordering, that must be frustrating!

I have lost another 3lb this week so -111lbs ✨ have last jab on Mon before trying again without.

NippyNinjaCrab · 27/03/2026 07:55

Morning, I've weighed and sts, my digestion is definitely slowing down even on the low dose though. I haven't moved much this week being unwell with a man cold 😩
I jabbed yesterday morning so hopefully thats me on the road. Xxx

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/03/2026 09:21

Well done @SilverSprings510. Fingers crossed you can do alone. I can’t

@NippyNinjaCrab sts is good as in you didn’t gain. Did you jab the whole 2.5

That's great news Blondes. After a month I have lost 2 pounds and am back in the ballpark of 3 pounds. My original ballpark was 7 pounds but I have changed it to 3, as losing 7 seems too scary and unachievable. The best news that is that I lost 2 pounds after I had been away for a cheeky weeks holiday..came back Tuesday and weighed today 😀 I usually dread a weigh in after a holiday. The bad news is that I am still on 10 😕. We are really busy at the theatre as it's Tina Turner, The Musical. Normally I do an average of 1 shift a week..it's only 4.5 hours but I get to see the show as part of the job. Next week I am working 5 shifts - will pay for 1 pen!
Wondering if Pharmulous will accept my order..it's at least 6 weeks since last one 🤔 Will let you know.

Forgot to say I am now at the top of my new 3 pound ballpark..preferred weight is 8 st 5 pounds and I am 8 st 8 👍

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/03/2026 11:46

Yah @Azuresky68. Yes I do 3 as if 4 I know I need to cut back - if I did 7 that’s half a stone and double my ballpark iyswim so will be hard er

where 3 - 10.4/10.7 I vary through out the month and I’m fine anywhere in that amount and where I am now

far easier as I did the last 3w or so was to cut back and weight goes
