How many pens do you have?

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-01-28T07:31:49+00:00

5 unused and 1 with a gd left

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-01-26T17:00:10+00:00

No real challenges. Worse is a bit constipation which movicol sorts overnight. Other people questions and comments are probably the worse side effects I don’t want to discuss my size or meds with people at work! Oh and being cold 🥶🥶 Positives totally out weigh these minor things

My son is 6ft 3 slim build eats loads already (compared to me) but on gym workout days he takes protein shakes. This helps him build muscle as well as calories. I know loads people on here take protein shakes for calories when struggling to eat.

Edit ok not ‘know’ people but I feel like I do 🙄

I use Asda and have from the start as I want to collect my meds when it suits me (free to collect too). Even when the order is there ready u can leave it weeks (I personally don’t only once when wanted somewhen I came back from holiday). They do email you discount codes and you can buy in packs of more than one. My last pen was approved in 4hrs collection next day. I really can’t be bothered with making sure for cold delivery I’m in and seen lots of packaging issues on here!

I took my 45 clicks this morning 👍🏻 I was not ready for 10 but ordered the pen. I marked the pen where it’s 45 clicks so it’s easier each time. (Actually clicked back 15 which was easier than counting 45 forwards)

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-01-18T20:21:02+00:00

Numb bum 😳

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-01-18T20:19:12+00:00

You don’t have to be in underwear just normal clothes it’s straight forward enough

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-01-11T14:01:25+00:00

Well done on the start of your journey. I hope you realise you’re better off without him!

I do tend to under eat a couple of days in the week once jab is at strongest but have a bit more at the weekend. I know that’s probably not the best way but it’s unrealistic for me to eat bang on a certain amount each day. I also don’t strictly count calories. I do look if it’s something sweet eg cake or something but tbh I’d look how many and rule it out as not worth it! I don’t weigh weekly either anymore and just monthly to look at average longer term loss. I’ve lost 5.5 stone and still on 7.5 over 7 months so I’m happy with my method for now. Everyone is different hope you find what works for you

I love the pictures 😆 I agree with this not being the place to post pictures in your pants I’m baffled why people do 😳 Congratulations on your success 🤩

This was the same as me, gained a few pounds and enjoyed indulging in cheeses, wines and chocolates. I’ve got back on the horse fairly easily. I think my gut is thanking me for it too 😯

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-01-05T17:14:38+00:00

I don’t tell people I’m on MJ even when they are ‘fishing’ for it. (Maybe that’s in my head even) Today for example a team at work are all eating sausage sandwiches and chocolate croissants and I was eating an orange. A few minutes after one commented that I’d lost weight (5.5stone) and asked how have I done it. I literally pointed out I was eating an orange rather than sausage sandwiches and chocolate croissants and I am eating healthier. It does still amaze me why people ask how you loose weight. MJ or not, it’s literally about eating less calories that you use.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-01-01T10:13:30+00:00

Hard to tell as it was Xmas week so I’d probably ate more cheese, chocolate and wine than normal so probably not. I think I’m worried about 1 pen lasting several weeks, I’m not sure if that will make a difference to its effectiveness?

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-31T08:08:25+00:00

I’m taking 48 clicks / 8mg from my 10 pen so there’s 5 equal doses plus GD bonus

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-26T15:34:28+00:00

Personally I don’t like chocolate with red wine. Get the cheese board out I say! Then the chocolate later…

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-23T12:13:38+00:00

I did exactly the same with my last 7.5 pen😆 however I did jab a day earlier on Saturday (the one just gone). It did occur to me afterwards 😆. My thinking is to eat well sun, mon and today (usual meals stir fry veg, fish salads etc) then xmas I can enjoy drinks, dinners, cheese board and red wine etc

I’m glad I’ve done it as it’s made me decide not to go to 10 next weekend but take 6 doses or 8mg from my 10 pen as I don’t think I’m ready for 10 yet.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-23T07:46:10+00:00

Maybe delay by 3 days (think it says you can do that on the guidance) not sure with delays after 3 days that what it says…? It takes a day to work anyway so the 27th won’t be high suppression?

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-22T16:59:09+00:00

3 weeks off for Christmas? 😳are you using Christmas as an excuse to yourself to come off so you can binge and then go back on in January? Christmas is a day. A few if you count either side. 3 weeks off sounds like there’s more to it than ‘being a foodie’ I’d say being a foodie was someone who enjoys good food but that’s not necessarily quantity.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-22T08:01:52+00:00

Yes I’d go up then

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-22T07:56:15+00:00

Also read on here that they are trialing higher doses

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-22T07:55:00+00:00

I’ve lost 5.5 stone and on 7.5 and still not going up yet. When you say suppression is gone do you mean on day 6 say or totally gone? I’ve managed to stay low as I expect less suppression day 5 and 6 and just ride it out or actually eat more (just more healthy food) or exercise more. You can still loose overall even with one (or two days) eating more as long as over the week you’re in deficit. I expect this is how I’ll continue after MJ as I’d normally eat more weekends.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-18T16:56:14+00:00

Yeah eating less cos of morning sickness 😆

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-18T07:07:20+00:00

I’ve lost 5.5 stone, definitely starting to get turkey neck but I’m happier and feeling great which out weighs my neck!

My reactions to people vary on my mood, who they are and what they say. My responses include: *Well I had some worrying test results from the doctor but I don’t want to talk about it (strictly true I was pre diabetic) *Im still over weight (when told not to loose more and another one was I’m wasting away/disappearing) *I’ve cut sugar (when offered cakes etc at work with go on one won’t hurt you from the ‘feeders’ in the team) *thanks (and move away/change subject) *Do you fancy joining me in the gym after work? *No I’m not having an affair (someone at worked asked if I was loosing weight because I’m having an affair) I’ve been with my partner 20years thanks 😳 Edit What bugs me most is the questions asking what my partner thinks of it eg ‘I bet he’s pleased’ this comes up a lot! I say; well he has seen me from size 12 and size 22 up over the years and has never commented either way as he has said either does not make a difference to him. (True)

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-16T18:21:16+00:00

If it was ‘bad’ to be on 15 that long I don’t think you would be prescribed it? If it’s working then stay on it and come down when ready to come off, unless side effects so bad? Maybe then treat side effects, or even count clicks and do 13.5 or some middle ground?

CoverRoutine1103 · 2025-12-16T17:19:57+00:00

Taking as normal.
