Hello everyone I have name changed (Maarva) but been here since the beginning. Still on my 5mg a week and maintaining ok plus still doing my weightlifting. I plan on being on this long term as it suits me.

I am with Cloud and have had an email about the tablet form. Wondering if anyone else had considered it? Would really prefer it but nervous to make a change as Mounjaro has worked so well for me.

I know exactly what you mean @LumionaMoonsplash . I'm 62 and the last time I was anywhere near this size was when I was 25. When I catch myself in the mirror I tend to stop and stare, not in a 'get me, I'm fabulous' way, but more a 'how the hell did that happen' way.
I'm beyond happy with my weight loss and loving how much more active I am now. But it also makes me sad that I could / should have been like this all my life and I've missed so much. It's all a bit confusing, and then there's the fear I'll wake up one morning fat again...

Hi all

Great to hear all of your progress.

Quick Wegovy update, after a year on MJ. I have somehow managed to drop a couple of pounds the last couple of weeks, so under my self imposed higher target of 14 stone now. I had my last 1mg dose today and have 1.7mg ready to go for next week.

Hoping this will increase suppression again, as not felt any in a while and have been relying on willpower mostly. I managed to get the 1.7 (4th highest dose) for £120 with a new starter discount which is considerably cheaper than the equivalent MJ, however I am now fast running out of places I can start as a newby with, so relying on the odd discount from former sellers that come through here and there.

Keep on at it everyone!

@DeltaAlphaDelta79 that's great that you're losing on wegovy. Well done 👏 in the trials 2.4mg was equivalent to 7.5mg so 1.7mg is around 5mg and 1mg is arpund 2.5mg! It's still cheaper than MJ but it doesn't have the GIP which a lot of us need for blood sugar control. I was on wegovy 3 months but progressively became more ill so went back to MJ. I'm glad it's working for you and will save money in the long run. What is your target now?

@Mysticmaiden anywhere betwen 13 and 14 stone I am happy with, so the closer I get to 13 the better.

Its definitely not working as well as MJ did, I always knew it wasn't as effective, but Ive lost the majority of the weight I need so using this more as maintenance and to lose the last few pounds.
