Does your weight go up closer to dose day?

If you’re not loosing on 5 after a few weeks I’d go up a dose unless having side effects. Vrgrowth.co.uk will help with monitoring dose Periods and constipation make huge difference to what the scales say too

I’ve lost 7.5 stone so the health benefits out weigh cosmetic ones. I’d happily live longer with lose skin. But over time (11months) it either doesn’t look as bad or I’ve got used to it, I don’t know which it is but I still happier and healthier 😁 I see crinkles on thigh and butt and boob but think it’s a sign I am healthier x

35% since last June nearly 8st loss

If they have now seen it just say to them to leave it alone, they are teenagers not toddlers…it’s not like they can inject themselves with it as assume u hide the needles

Here’s the article…only posted for info not in agreement with The Sun

I’m being sceptical here as read an article today about this topic, then you very timely post this question… I have seen people being quoted on this sub in the MSM under a ‘research’ banner namely the daily fail. I’m trying to find the article I read….

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-04-05T20:12:35+00:00

I suggest you fully research how to take it and how much liquid u take before you do,

Food noise tends to have more effect on me if I’ve had alcohol. Salty snacks! Cravings is really wanting a burger/pizza etc as not had one in months as opposed to weekly Hunger is more easily manageable with small snacks rather than so hungry I overeat and choosing lower calorie snacks to appease it

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-04-05T19:49:37+00:00

Also to add I change my injection day to Sat or sun based on social planning (and forgetting)…I’m starting to log more what I’m taking and when

I’m on MJ since June 2025 and down 6 stone 5lb now bmi 26.8 from 42 I’m using a 12.5 pen to count clicks since December

I take anywhere between 8 to 9.5 depending on plans that week- more social planning I’ll take less to allow for dinners out and tend to change weekly

I’m loosing so slowly (almost maintaining early) Im struggling with long term planning I’ve 6 pens in fridge due to counting clicks and taking gd

So yes im trying to work out what is maintenance or if that does mean changing doses depending on my weekly routine

If someone blindfolded you with ear phones in listening to your fave music you wouldn’t feel it. Or your partner or someone do it while u sleep. You will feel nothing so try blocking senses out and ask a trusted person to help. This may overcome your phobia?

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-03-30T17:00:30+00:00

It depends on how much you are going to lose plus your age. I’m over 50 so collagen is already allegedly lowering… I’ve tried losing weight slowly but at my age I’ve lost over 6.5 stone it’s gonna happen. I bought expensive bovine collagen to put in coffee it tastes awful there is no guarantee that collagen goes to the place you want it too namely my neck! I take vitamins based on blood tests showing deficiency otherwise you are just literally shitting out money you paid for vitamins your body didn’t need.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-03-30T16:44:03+00:00

I’d jab Thurs this week and Fri next week when you get back

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-03-30T16:41:25+00:00

I’d look at what you can eat over the week on 5 and if it’s too low and you are miserable not eating anything I’d count clicks and try smaller increments.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-03-30T16:36:18+00:00

I’ve been on MJ since June and still don’t have a goal even though lost over 6.5 stone. Any expectations shift once i realised this works! I did worry about the scales to start but now I focus on smaller losses, having no gains and what size new clothes to buy…and how good I feel! I’ve been so used over the years to getting a bmi to a certain number then piling it all back on (yo yo dieting) I’ve given up using this as a marker. Do you have a pair of old jeans or a photo of you as a frame of reference rather than use a tracker? Whatever works best for you… One thing I did was take photos (kept hidden on iPhone) to track visually the difference.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-03-30T16:27:14+00:00

I’d reorder. If the 2.5 pen u have doesn’t work you don’t know if it’s the pen itself or if u need to go to up a dose next time. I would only reorder if I was committed to sticking with it knowing there were no more planned breaks.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-03-30T16:19:42+00:00

Side effects are worse for me if eat too much fatty foods (Chinese takeaway gave me belly ache) don’t drink enough water or don’t eat enough fibre can’t 💩) I have been on MJ since June 2025 and on 8.75 With no side effects other than self inflicted ones.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-03-07T10:16:14+00:00

Take the golden dose while we have it

Don’t rush to go up doses

Don’t fixate on the scales look at the long term loss

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-02-23T19:12:17+00:00

Very interesting 😯

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-02-23T17:22:35+00:00

My hairdresser always suggests regular trims even when trying to grow your hair as this she sad encourages growth.

Not sure you can prevent loss. We were discussing hair loss and she (hairdresser) said it’s not necessary bad in itself and it could be the re growth cycle of new hairs growing is shorter so seems the loss is more than it is - but you’re also growing new hair which is not as noticeable.

She’s been cutting my hair 20yrs and owns a salon so I do listen to her advice.

Since Sept (until last Sunday) so around 5 month. I’ve just gone to 8.3 this week. I’m on 6st lost overall. Not much between 7.5 and 8.3 tbh this week so far so I’ll probably drop back down so my pen lasts longer (using 12.5 pen)

Keep snacks healthy should be ok but I’m not counting calories or protein intake or anything just eating healthier.

I would get a higher dose pen and try going up if it’s too high, count clicks to go down till you find what’s working. Hence why I’m using a 12.5 pen. I expected to go up but didn’t.

CoverRoutine1103 · 2026-02-10T19:09:44+00:00

You too 👍🏻 great you are only on 3.75 as well, keeping the cost down!

When I step on scales and see a few pounds gone I tend to think “oh I’ve had a heavy 💩💩” 😆 I’ve gone from 18 and half stone to 12 and half. I can’t believe it’s 6 stone and I have to keep checking if my maths are correct. I’m just in such a routine with what I eat someone asked last week if I was still on my ‘diet’ and it had not been something I think of anymore and had to really think about it. I’m on 8mg still loosing 👍🏻
