End of week 3, last 0.25mg shot today and weigh in told me I'd lost 3.2lb this week giving me a total loss of 8.6lb since I started. Delighted with that as weight loss is usually so slow with me. Not much in the way of side effects really so hoping that continues with 0.5mg next week.

Movinghouseatlast · 11/04/2023 11:45

I'm absolutely living this. I have lost 7lbs in 2 weeks which is a miracle as I've been trying and failing to.lose a single pound for the last 5 years.

A question though- if I change suppliers is what happens if I am below BMI of 30 but still want to get a bit lower? Will they not prescribe? Do for example I'm now 13 stone and would like to be 10 stone, would they prescribe at 10.5 stone when I only have half to lose?

Also, the fridge thing. I haven't kept it in the fridge as mine runs very cold. Can I start putting it in the fridge now as I've just discovered I will have two doses left in the pen. Thanks!

Peridot1 · 11/04/2023 11:56

It’s hard to know about the supplier question really @Movinghouseatlast. I think I would try and stick to the same supplier so you have a history with them if you are concerned.

I think it would be fine to put it in the fridge but probably also fine not to. Up to you. I tend to keep mine in the fridge just so I know where it is!

Hi all just about to place my first order and wondered if someone could send me a code. Is there a difference in suppliers? Do you all cancel then shop around or stay with same supplier? Slightly nervous about horrific side effects (struggling with fatigue anyway so could do without adding to that). However I'm in the obese category and know this needs addressing. Ideally would like to lose 4 stone but would be happy with 3. I know im here for the long haul. I am hoping to combine this with running 3-4 times a week (slow jogging but moving). Fingers crossed

I'll send you a juniper code for £50 off the first month. I haven't swapped around yet, happy to stay with them for a bit as they are quick at sending out and the service has been good.

TheWayOfTheWorld · 11/04/2023 12:58

I'm going to do this as well - have been upping activity levels and trying to get protein/less sugar into my diet. I reckon I've put on 2.5-3 stone since lockdown and WFH 😣

Would also appreciate a My Juniper code Flowers

MotherofTerriers · 11/04/2023 13:29

Well I started last night, no real effects yet

Just sent it to you, in case you don't have one already

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 11/04/2023 14:19

Took my 2nd shot on Friday and it properly kicked in yesterday. Had a roast for lunch around 1pm, just a normal sized plate not heaped high but wasn't hungry for the rest of the day and haven't been hungry today, had a couple of crackers and some cottage cheese for my lunch and would have been fine without it to be honest.

TheWayOfTheWorld · 11/04/2023 14:28

@LadyFarnborough thank you! Now I just need to remember how to log in to get my DMs (I'm normally on the app)

Someone messaged me for a code but my messages are. Not working they seem stuck.

This is the code that works 50% off with the shakes and also the Glucocomannan as long as you order another vitamin within the same order .

Anyone had an update from Manual re shipping post BH weekend? My order is still showing as “in production” 😵‍💫

Fortheloveofus · 11/04/2023 16:13

@LemonPledge555 mine too. I've tried to email them but automatic reply saying they'll respond within 48 hours. Was hoping to start tomorrow. My own fault for not ordering earlier but I've dithered so much about my decision I left it until I was faced with mountains of chocolate over weekend before admitting defeat

I’m hoping it arrives by the end of the week as ideally I’d like to be starting it on a Thursday or Friday. Hopefully just busy catching up after the weekend!

Fortheloveofus · 11/04/2023 16:24

I'll pop back on and let you know if anything changes.
This is my first order. How do they send it our- RM or courier? Will they just post it through letterbox if I'm not home?

I think Royal Mail next day delivery for the Ozempic but I have a feeling the
Glucomannan and vitamins and shakes come via courier I think it was Evri , in any case mine all arrives the day after the despatch emails. I know I had two deliveries the same day which is why I have a feeling they used two companies to despatch.
The Ozempic is inside the packaging so don't throw the inner packaging away.

Their packages do not fit through a letter box. Can you leave a cool box on the doorstep?

@LemonPledge555 I've just had the 'it's on its way' email. Hopefully you'll get yours shortly too💐

Fortheloveofus · 11/04/2023 16:48

@Beenalongwinter mmm, not even sure I have one. I'll just have to track the package closely and try my best to be at home

imaginationhasfailedme · 11/04/2023 16:49

Can I join you guys on here? I'm switching to Ozempic 0.25 (hopefully it'll arrive this week!) when I finish my tablets. I don't like taking them. The downside is as this is injectable I need to do the starting dose again.
First week, food noise much quieter (also scared of pooping/throwing up etc so just ate a lot less!), now third week food noise is back and I can eat most things. 5-6lbs down though.
Anyone else switched from tablets to pen?

The pens last for six weeks at room temperature anyway, which should cover your four 0.25 doses plus an additional 0.5 dose even if it warms up 🙂

Diedre44 · 11/04/2023 16:59

Anyone know where might have 0.5 pens in stock and possible cheeky discount code?
I've been refreshing Ukmeds all day long to no avail. I'm currently with Manual and haven't offered me a discount after calling their customer service line to cancel. It's definitely working for me, but I resent having to pay extra £50 for the "coaching" when I have not needed any help or advice from anyone and don't anticipate needing it in future from their team.

Can I ask why you didn't like the tablets?

Should be fine in this weather unless they leave it in full sun. My ice pack stayed cold for another 12 hrs but hopefully postman will leave yours in the shade.

Have you tried Juniper? I'm just about to go up to 0.5mg and it's been dispatched today. I've got a code for £50 off but it's for first month only. Let me know if you want it?
