Medecine Market Place processed and delivered my order within 5 days. It was delivered by Royal Mail and left by my front door in plain packaging. I was advised that it had been despatched but didn't know when it would be delivered. I will be staying with them for the moment but keeping an eye on prices.

Hi all
Hope you’re ok. I’ve not posted for a while, been on holiday and job issues!! I’ve been struggling the last few weeks and have put a few pounds on, MJ doesn’t appear to be doing much at the moment, so think I’m going to have to back up to 7.5 for a while. I placed an order with Medicine Marketplace on Tuesday evening after reading about it here, they’re definitely cheaper! I wondered how long it was typically taking for them to get back to people to confirm the order or not? Thanks

Hmm mine not approved although to be fair I said 10 instead of 7.5! Have rectified and sent photos of current pen and date so hoping new one comes next week🤞🏻

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/09/2026 17:55

I’ve bitten the bullet and gone for 12,5 and they didn’t quibble it

ive been on 10 for months trying to shift the last few lbs of my ballpark so thought ffs I need to kickstart again

as it’s cheaper then I was paying at think £244 for 10 and paid £212 for 12.5

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/09/2026 17:56

@26inprogress last month the follow day. This month same day

FurForksSake · 18/09/2026 21:09

I’ve just done the additional information but none of them like my videos so I hope this one does. Mmp is definitely cheaper so I’d like to be able to move over.

Sadteacher · 19/09/2026 18:17

Help help help.
I started MJ Aug 24. Last one Aug 25( dated June as I’d had some gaps)
I have maintained pretty well without any help until this summer. I’ve put on about 8lbs. I’ve given myself September to get it off again, but I can’t. That is why I went on MJ in the first place. I eat healthily apart from holidays where I indulge and put on weight.

Anyway, will I get a prescription for a couple of months with anyone with such a long gap? My friend says say it is for maintenance and I will be more likely to be prescribed again. My bmi is 26 point something!

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/09/2026 19:31

Yes you should as was on it previously and now 26 and will start on 2.5

Moanranger · Yesterday 00:53

I have been maintaining since Dec 2024. My starting weight was 85k & it took me 8 months to get to my goal of 65k. I did this on 2.5-5mg doses. I also tracked my food intake using Nutracheck, and when I went on holidays, took a portable scale & weighed daily. Now on 7,5mg weekly, but my weight has crept up, hitting 68k last week.
I have been working with a PT recently to increase my protein intake & also have a 12 week target to get back to 65k, which I think is doable. However, my PT needs me to track my weight using MyFitnessPal. The problem with that is MFP is not very accurate, it is completely random in recording recipes, which I use a lot, sometimes it’s accurate, sometimes wildly off, and calorie counts on foods are pretty variable.
I emailed Nutracheck & they quickly replied; ATM their app won’t link with PT’s app ( ABC Trainerize) So I will persevere, in spite of the MFP shortcomings. I do think food tracking helps.
I am with Swift Doctor (having used Oushk - complete nightmare of a pharmacy - whole other story!) and will need to stay on that for the foreseeable future, as food noise is my downfall. SD pretty good, very straightforward, quick approval & dispatch, usually receive 24 hrs after ordering, tho probably not the cheapest.
I can also recommend Emily English for really good high protein, high fibre recipes.
So that’s my story. I have read thru the thread & really appreciated everyone’s story. It is good to share experiences, praise others achievements & get support from the MJ community. Thanks to the OP for starting & maintaing this thread.

I’m not sure what’s happened with Medicine Marketpkace for me, I sent evidence of my prescription for. 5mg pen, order placed 5 1/2 weeks prior. They’ve sent out apparently a 2.5 which I don’t want and I’m trying to call but just rings out. Not happy!!
welcome @Moanrangerand congratulations! I love Emily English, I follow her on insta.

26inprogress · Yesterday 10:11

Scratch that I’ve just had conf they’re sending out 7.5mg!! Strange! Hoping this helps me get back on track, the last couple of weeks have been awful, I’ve eaten anything and everything but a 19mile v hilly charity walk yesterday I hope has helped me get back into the right headspace!!
