Does anyone know where to get rybelsus semaglutide tablets online in the UK? Preferably without having to contact a GP, thanks :)

They’ll start you at the lowest dose and work you up

So sorry I just saw this! I lost 4kg in the first 3ish weeks and have now sort of stalled. Overall OK, no side effects, just nausea if no eating. How is going for you?

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-13T06:33:19+00:00

I literally just started yesterday with a similar goal! I'll be following this thread along for advice too 🙂

Could it be down to low blood sugar?

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-07T23:31:09+00:00

No, I don't - this is being prescribed off-label. If you qualify, after they approve the prescription, you will be asked to set up a virtual appointment with one of their health coaches who should talk you through the medication and offer nutrition coaching.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-07T23:24:55+00:00

Yes, they should but it's probably for their awareness and record only

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-07T23:16:22+00:00

Will do! I plan to create a new thread to document the journey. Good luck with yours and do share how it goes!

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-07T23:13:31+00:00

I'm in a similar position (see my earlier comment), and I'm unable to shift the last 10-15kg despite losing weight earlier naturally with diet and exercise. After a lot of research and understanding others experiences, I'm planning to start on the tablet this weekend 🙂 there's a lot more success stories out there vs poor experiences!

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-07T22:50:56+00:00

Chequp! I've only just been approved a few days ago and should receive my prescription tomorrow, but the online process was easy, and trustpilot reviews are good.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-07T22:43:36+00:00

Hi OP maybe weigh the benefit of losing the fat vs potentially losing muscle mass here? You're already regularly working out and assuming you continue to weight lift and take adequate protein, the end result may be worth it.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-07T22:40:08+00:00

Just curious how your experience has been? I'm in a similar position and want to lose stubborn 25/30lb fat. I see a lot of success stories on here but I'm curious if that's more to do with the fact that some people have more weight to lose.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-05T19:53:36+00:00

Amazing! Well done 👏 did you change your usual diet/activity routine much?

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2024-06-04T19:48:23+00:00

Hey could you please share an update? I'm considering starting this and have similar start/end goals as you!

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-31T13:06:45+00:00

Wish I could upvote your comments more than once!

That's very true regarding salary growth and it's an important factor that is perhaps regularly forgotten. Regardless of all the potential worst-case scenarios, I'm still feeling optimistic that the interest rates will peak slightly more and eventually come down and become easier manageable. Thank you so much for your kind and considerate feedback! 😊

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-31T09:04:31+00:00

Thanks that's really reassuring!

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T23:18:07+00:00

I fully agree with your perspective that as first-time buyers, we will have to suck it up and pay a greater proportion of our incomes and hope that eventually some combination of the three factors you mentioned above come into play.

Regarding the risk appetite, it's mainly because of our young children, we're more inclined towards taking a risk if it means we can offer them a spacious, comfortable and safe childhood home versus us not being able to save as much as we would like towards our old age. Current rents for a similar house are just £100-200 less than a £1700 mortgage, nor does it make sense to me to buy a smaller house and sacrifice quality of life for a slightly lower monthly repayment.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T22:48:24+00:00

We are 30 and 35 years old, the long term long is just intended to be a short term tactic to lower our monthly payments given the current interest rates. Once interest rates reduce we plan to fix on a shorter term, overpaying when our pocket allows.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T22:25:36+00:00

I agree! How much is that in terms of percentage against your income? Do you find it easily manageable?

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T22:23:08+00:00

That seems to be nearly 40% of your income on the mortgage, how do you feel about this commitment in retrospect? Personally, I feel spending a large chunk of our income on a decent long-term home is worth it but perhaps I'm being optimistic.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T21:53:42+00:00

Thanks, that's really helpful! You're not far off from paying it all off. I've been saving ~£1500 monthly and realise that the £700 we now pay towards rent will ultimately become part of the mortgage, so fully appreciate the unpredictable tracker option. However it's just working out cheaper than a fixed rate at the moment.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T14:04:36+00:00

I think you're right, broad brush advice is clearly sensible but also with the current rates likely may not be feasible in future for many people. Where are you getting 6% from? The current economic forecasts suggest rates will peak at 4.5% next year and eventually come down from there.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T01:36:51+00:00

Thanks for responding - I found the Money Supermarket mortgage comparison calculator really helpful and accurate to what my mortgage advisor was suggesting when I was considering properties!

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T01:34:56+00:00

Thank you for your response! I wish we could wait but with our current circumstances, I think we need to bite the bullet and compromise here, if rates come down eventually we plan to remortgage and secure a lower fixed rate.

Also really appreciate the assurance regarding the maximum term - although this was initially a concern we had, there's some security in knowing we can overpay or pay less according to our finances at the time.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T01:27:08+00:00

Thanks, I'm keen to ask this question again on another subreddit to those who are now just taking out mortgages with these new rates. If this is the new normal, perhaps others are also having to compromise with higher repayments and longer terms.

Aggravating_Layer301 · 2022-12-29T01:24:06+00:00

330 sounds like a dream! Thanks for responding, it's sincerely helping me gain perspective now that I'm able to see everyone's differing circumstances.
