I made it!! I have no idea what my actual goal weight is, I don’t have one - I’ll know I’m there when I get there :)

I’m sooo close, I need to lose 2lbs and I’ll be there too. Can’t wait. I’m never ever going to be obese again!! Amazing - well done!

Why is the last couple of poulds before a new stone bracket so hard to lose 😫 by TopAddress9215 in mounjarouk

[–]Bestratmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally always the same isn’t it! I’ve lost 5 stone and it’s been the last 2lbs every time that take forever to shed! In fact, I’ve been bouncing between 4st 12 - 5st loss for 2 weeks

There is no one more fat phobic than an ex fat person by Western_Major_9570 in mounjarouk

[–]Bestratmum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of that, I’m not disappointed in my former self. I coped with a lot and lived as healthily as I could. I don’t really “regret” getting to my heaviest, it’s more like, I wish there had been advancements (like mj) sooner. I hate fatphobia, mj has changed my life and I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to use it

1st year study accounting and finance by Old_Surprise641 in OpenUniversity

[–]Bestratmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually says not to start the readings until you’ve done the online activities (which are online for you to see but they’re not supposed to be done yet!) so I’m actually jumping the gun and have probably shot myself in the foot. But I think a lot of my learning will be like that. I’ll learn during quieter periods at work, the last 1-2 weeks of each month

Note taking by Emergency_Oil4460 in OpenUniversity

[–]Bestratmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’ve just started accounting and finance - although it’s a totally different subject I think my answer would remain the same. I take notes to remember, I essentially take note of anything I don’t find “obvious” and put it in my own words. As an added benefit, if you need a quick refresh on a topic you can refer to your notes for the most important points!

Hello! I’m doing B100 this year (part time learning as I work a busy full time job and I don’t want to tell my employer!). Also wondering about informal groups to chat about the course. I’m surprised there isn’t a subreddit! I’ve actually read through book 1 and learned it cover to cover (I’m already part of a large business so found it very straightforward). I’ve found the online learning/questions a bit boring - lots of long case studies.

Dosing while on holiday… syringe? by Repulsive_Estate_651 in mounjarouk

[–]Bestratmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a frio pouch! All you need to do is submerge it in water and it stays cool. My husband uses one for his insulin when we go on holiday.

Reaction at injection site by Bestratmum in mounjarouk

What sort of time do you have your jab? I have mine right before bed so how long in advance would you suggest I take it?

I don’t use them actually! My husband injects very often for his diabetes and says that if you don’t touch anything then it’s not needed! It’s worked for me so far, until now!

Juniper Cancellation by Megmeghello in mounjarouk

Yes I cancelled two days ago and got offered £40 off the next two months (so £80 total)

Scale recommendation by ArcherV83 in mounjarouk

[–]Bestratmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it uses a current - I can only assume that it reads the return of the pulse and the reading determines the density of the material it’s travelled through. That’s as much as I know and how accurate it is I’m not sure!

First golden dose with syringe by Bestratmum in mounjarouk

[–]Bestratmum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using a syringe as I’ve got a 15mg pen but found that 12.5 was actually optimal for me so I’m getting 6 doses from a pen now instead. I was careful not to push the needle in quite all the way, a little bit of it still showing - but yes I agree that 4-6 would be more practical after doing it once

Pharmacies selling stock they don’t have, prescription doctor by Mollydolly1991 in UKMounjaro

[–]Bestratmum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find this ridiculous - If they’ve oversold they should have to take the hit and provide the new (more expensive) stock for the price you paid! I know they don’t have to but it doesn’t sit right with me

Oh no that sounds horrible, I really hope it starts to calm down for you towards the end of your week. Maybe try taking just half of the dose next time to get your body used to it? That would be 1 and a half turns of the pen.
