Can’t believe we are in a new thread! Keep It up everyone

Really interesting black market jabs ITV undercover documentary…

It's all gone a bit quiet on here - how is everyone doing?

@Boreded what was the post-holiday damage (if any)?

I've stayed the same this week, my second week of 3.5mg, but have had a couple of birthday celebrations, so some wines (and my nemesis - crisps) were involved. Still tracking everything as far as I can, but I'm trying to make sure I eat more with the family rather than eating something separate every night, so some of it is (fairly accurately) guesstimated. Getting a bit fatigued by thinking about it all to be honest. Lord knows how I'll cope when/if I come off MJ.

Had a good experience with New Health - I contacted them to say I could only take delivery on certain days and they were really helpful and made sure it arrived when I was at home.

Yes I was thinking it was quiet too ! Well I finally went down approx 2 pounds after nearly a stall of 2 months up and down the same few pounds , holidays etc . So I was so so happy to see the number 9 stone 13 3/4 appear on the scales. It’s been about 17 years since I last saw that . Thrilled to bits . I am hoping to get as close to that as I can , with the aim of being between 9 1/2 and 10 long term if possible …. I am beginning to worry about stopping and rebound . I don’t know if there is a maintenance supplier here in the Republic of Ireland …. It’s quite hard to figure it out . I don’t even want to ask my supplier anything in case they stop prescribing it to me !
howveer I have to say I feel great , have been told now suddenly I look great and very different . I can and can’t see it . It’s a weird weird one !! Aches and pains gone , heartburn gone , lots of inflammation down , digestion better, lots of energy for exercise etc , v stable blood sugar feelings , v calm mind and concentration is better. .its literally a miracle drug xx

Haha I’m hiding 🫣

6.6lb after flight. (Friday)
4.2lb this morning, but I did have a huge dinner (while I could still eat big portions) so expecting the same tomorrow.

I’m really struggling with jet lag, not sleeping and feeling unwell (I always catch bugs on the plane so now my chest is killing me - I am a wimp), so it’s making me less motivated.

So I’m thinking fresh start tomorrow, give myself the rest of the week to clear the holiday crap, then should be about 20lbs more to lose by Christmas to get under 200.

I do see a change in my body though, my legs are thinner again, and my waist is getting a bit more definition. I can also pull in a lot of my apron when I tighten the muscles so can see a bit change there…seems like I’ve really improved my fitness whilst away. My family said they felt like they were having to chase me because I walk so fast, and besides my usual day 1 vomit (my body hates the heat) I didn’t struggle with the sun as much as normal, but tbf I did get a great fan to take with me so that helped.

How is everyone else getting on? Life getting in the way or easier with the kids back at school (uni for mine tomorrow 😳)

Hi everyone!

I haven't been on MN as much lately, but am now down nearly 4 stone!

I started 10 mg last week.

hi all - I was wondering where everybody had got to!

@Borededdont worry! I lost my 6.5lb holiday gain in 10 days and have lost another 2lb in the 10 days after that. Just drink loads of water and get back to it and you’ll be fine 😊

I’m still on 5mg and it’s going fine for me although day 6 and 7 does have a much lower supression effect. I’m going away again for a weekend next weekend so after that I might look at split dosing and building up my levels more consistently over the week rather than seeing the fluctuations however I don’t mind a bit of hunger so we will see…

I am working hard to tackle the constipation too. I read a thread on here of somebody that had gone 10-11 days so at least I’m not that bad! But i had a 5 day wait last week so im taking senna every day and concentrating on water and having kiwi fruit in the hope i can get more regular. Anyone else struggling?

@molliohave you looked at Monj.ie ?

@madeinthe80z dulcoease, dulcolax and soaked chia seeds have been my life saver! (And once a glycerin suppository).

Thanks @Rockgrin I always get nervous that it will send me the other way and I am not home much 😂 I tried psyllium husk once and that was interesting! Although it was pre-MJ

I had a slight 100gm gain, but Im not too worried, looking back at my record it seems to have happened about 3 times before, so I know the move down will happen. The Bolt people have just upped me to 12.5mg, so I am staying with them to allow me a higher prescription if I need to go elsewhere down the line in my hoarding. just gives me a little leeway. Im now half way through a 7.5mg pen and have 2 x 10 mg in the fridge, with long long shelf lives on them.
I have a full medical check up at the doctors and medicine check. Ive lost just shy of 3 stone since I saw him last, and I was not feeling good at that point. My mobility was not great and things like IBS were seriously restricting my life, so I think he is going to be really happy.

Wow that’s a super loss well done x I think it’s normal to go up and down and then down eventually

I take a 3 in 1 magnesium tablet every night (Nutrition Geeks brand) - keeps me regular and helps my really annoying restless legs. I once accidentally bought the wrong type (magnesium citrate). Lordy, that cleared me out so thoroughly I haven't taken it since!

@NettleTea 100g 'gain' when you've lost 3st is nothing - basically a wee. (I promise I'm not all toilet-talk usually!)
