Thank you @PearlsTeapot but oushk cut me off so I have nothing to jab. I sent them a stinking email on Friday but they've ignored it so far. I don't have the heart to try other suppliers so bit stuck

MrTiddlesTheCat · 30/03/2026 09:16

@RenegadeKeeblerElfwow, you look amazing. Well done.

TheZingyFish · 30/03/2026 10:40

I’ve hit 7st off! Well actually 7st 0.5lbs! Feeling really proud and now determined to try to get the magic 100lbs before my one year anniversary.

@RenegadeKeeblerElf Those photos are amazing, well done you, you must be so pleased.

TragicMuse · 30/03/2026 12:00

Your legs look great @RenegadeKeeblerElf! Such a great comparison, well done!

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 30/03/2026 14:22

Thanks all, long way to go yet but maybe when I do my next set of updates in 6 months I'll have a healthy BMI!

Springflowers2 · 30/03/2026 18:01

Just had a message from my provider,saying that the next pen will have less liquid in it ..pants .that extra dose made it worthwhile
And weight is on the move ,16 stone 3 this morning.. yippee,3 more pounds of and I've lost 11 stone

Billybingbong · 30/03/2026 18:31

@TheZingyFish yeey, you did it, 7st off for good. Well done, you're ace. Here's to the next milestone, 100lb in touching distance 🎉🎊🤞

eibbed999 · 30/03/2026 18:40

Away on our hols, taking my planned MJ break, currently eating my way through a whole Waitrose and a farm shop... loving reading all of your NSVs and milestones. I really hope this isn't the end of it all for me, but I have to accept it's not working right now, and hope this break then restart helps. Though slightly worried I'll be the size of a monster truck before long. Maybe just a small one though!

You must try.
Voy are actually doing off-label prescriptions for people who start off at under 27 BMI.

There will be others who do maintenance.

And there is one (I can't remember which) which is offering a variable dose regime, where people count clicks under the supervision of the prescriber. The pens last longer, obviously.

The pharmacies are all reading social media and they've realised that there are other potential customers to target.

Investigate! Do not be deterred @Doggymummar c'mon sister! You can do this.

@Doggymummar don’t know what Oushk’s problem is but don’t give in. Giving up isn’t an option!

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 30/03/2026 19:36

@Doggymummar it’s your weekly reminder to jab 💉

Pearl you crack me up girl.

Ok, let me see if they have refunded me and I'll try tomorrow it just seems such a hassle. But I want to finish the job and I don't want to give them lying 🤥 🤥 🤥 🤥 🤥 🤥 a penny more

PearlsTeapot · 30/03/2026 20:20

Is anyone else’s MN allnfucked up? Keep seeing old threads that haven’t been bumped in my feed for example.

I saw a few old ones but wondered if someone had posted on them but had the post deleted and the deleted one just wasn't showing, if that makes sense?

Realised I hadn’t checked in on the new thread!

Congrats @TheZingyFish , I’m 3lb behind you! 100lb will be an amazing milestone!

@RenegadeKeeblerElf what amazing progress pics!

3rd week of 4.5mg here after a month of 4.25 and finally the gastric side effects have settled down 🙄. It’s definitely given the weight loss a bit of a push as well, feeling quite confident about my 7st target for my one year anniversary in May now.

TragicMuse · 31/03/2026 08:52

I’ve either stayed the same or gained 1lb after my few days away. Not a problem, and I thought it might be more so I’ll take it!

Fffreeeeezing · 31/03/2026 10:21

I went on a big shopping day out yesterday (has to be a day out, I live quite a long way from a city) and I came away with..... sod all. Turns out I don't like anything! Nothing at all (I'll exclude the fancy makeup John Lewis kindly helped me out with 😁)
Everything was either dirgy coloured or nasty fabric or lurid colours. There seems to be a lot of items with 'embellishment', bows, frills, appliqué, embroidery, slogans, none of that is for me.

Unsure what is for me now though, hadn't realised this would be my biggest challenge of 2006 to be honest 🫣

aaaagggggghggg

Isn't it always the way when you actually intend to buy something? When you're just window shopping you see so much you like!

AlicesMum2025 · 31/03/2026 10:44

@Fffreeeeezing assume you mean 2026 😀

I went shopping the other day and, I agree, the colours are not doing it for me. There's a lot of brown and rust, and as a cool winter that just doesn't suit me.

And that trend for short body tops seems to be sticking around. On me they finish right on my lower belly where I'm the biggest, and it draws so much attention to it. As a pear shape that is not flattering, and I'm quite self-conscious about my stomach at the moment - it's very stubbornly refusing to shrink.

You know what ,I'm struggling to , everything seems to have food on it ,
I do not want to walk around at 50 wearing t shirts with bloody fruit ,or peppers or the words farmers market on them
Or lobsters ..it's just rediculous..who is buying tops with lemons ,oranges and blueberries on them ..these are plus size shops .. simply be ,and yours ,and the curve range in ASOS ..all food .. bizarre

Springflowers2 · 31/03/2026 10:50

I did manage to get some bits on line in new look ,plain ,no fruit or vegetables on tops in sight .
A couple of striped shirts as well ..
Only problem being none of it is cotton and I'm not good with fabric that's not cotton..but I clearly had to compromise somewhere
See how they look when they get here

MisfitMagpie · 31/03/2026 11:02

It has taken a 106lb (7st 8lb) loss but am now wearing size 20 jeans instead of the same size 24 as when I started a year ago. Realised when getting ready for work today the size 24 are far too big and baggy to wear now.

Fffreeeeezing · 31/03/2026 11:06

@AlicesMum2025 I did indeed mean 2026! 🫣

And yes- the ridiculously short tops that stop at my belly button- no no no!
