Is there a re-starters thread?

[Roadtripp]

I have been off since Nov due to health issue - put on 10kg in 4 months - eating drinking like a maniac and not moving - need to restart. Do I need to work up the doses each month again or can I short circuit? Eg 2.5 for 2 weeks? If there is already a thread where all this info already please let me know

That’s really good, well done. Have you increased again from 2.5 or did you go straight to 5. I’ve been doing 3.3 for a couple of weeks so might increase to 5 soon as although it really reduces the food noise, and I’ve really reduced what I’m eating, I still want to snack of an evening so maybe need to up it a bit

Feeling much better thanks.
Weighed in at start of this week I had a good clear out of my wardrobe over weekend and I'm between sizes so wanted to get a weight after the weekend and I'm 5lbs down (3 weeks in) so really pleased with that.

I'm getting a good level of suppression on 2.5. last time I just went up the doses. I might try this 3.?? Dose people mention rather than go straight to 5mg how do people work out the clicks etc?

@TimetoReStartI’ve worked my way up from 2.5, so have been back on it for a few weeks now. I feel so much better as I’ve taken control again.

60 clicks is a full dose so if you have a 5 pen it would be 30 clicks for 2.5, 40 clicks for 3.33

Well done, I know what you mean, it does feel good to be back in control

I restarted 2 weeks ago, after being off since January due to health issues. Did a year on MJ and lost 8st, with another couple to go. Gained 12lb since stopping! 2.5mg isn’t currently giving me much suppression at all, so I’ll be happy to finish this pen and move up
to 5mg.

8st is amazing well done
Its doesn't feel as strong this tome around but certainly helps curb my appetite. I'll be happy losing 1-2 lbs a week to get rid of this last stone

Restarting MJ tonight.

Taken my measurements and weighed myself ready.

Good luck @CherryViper

Good luck

So far, so good.

As per last time, I don't feel full up or unable to eat. Food noise is reduced.

I am feeling cold. Weather has turned

So I am struggling, the suppression doesn’t seem to be as strong as I remembered it.

weighed in at 96k today. GW of 70.

What dose you at currently?
I'm on week 4 ,of 2.5 and definitely need to move up as I'm not getting longer than about 3 days. Ive got my 5mg pen but I'm going to do 45 clicks and give myself I think it's 3.35mg rather than moving straight up to 5.
I'm 6 lbs down this month but I've also really ramped up my exercise too. Something I didnt do last time round.

I'm on 2.5mg. My suppression has never been the overwhelming fullness and inability to eat that other people report.

I never had a big weekly loss. My inflammation is much improved.

I am interested in halfway dosing by clicks. I'll check in to see how you get on. X

Fingers crossed the suppression improves for you, or you might see an improvement when you go up next.
You could try like I am and don't go for a full 5mg and see if you get suppression on fewer clicks if not then give yourself the full dose the week after.

I have been tracking calories and will have my first weigh in tomorrow.

I have seen about doing clicks and taking 3.75 mg rather than 5mg. Thanks for the suggestion.

Like you I know I need to exercise way more. My joints are still painful.

Well that was an interesting weigh in, after being away for a few days last week, I was really pleased to be in the 9s, weighed at 9.11.2 first thing, woohoo, went downstairs had a cup of coffee, double checked the scales, 9.12.2, I’m giving up coffee 😂😂

First week weight in, lost 1.8lbs. bit disappointed in that. I was expecting to lose more from the first week.

Second injection tonight. I usually go for stomach, might try thigh.
