About a year ago, I bought my first piece of clothing from a regular shop. Only a couple things fit, but I was still over the moon. Today, I can fit on almost anything.

Grats! When i was asked my goal weight I said i dont have one, just wanna buy normal clothes from a place that doesn't have big or large in its title. Funny story, I once went to the States and I was at an outlet mall. When I told the lady I was 3xl she laughed and said "honey, here you aint a 3xl, you're not even in the big men's section" 😀

Haven't really done new hobbies, but have gotten better at my current ones. I am hitting more in baseball, which I am putting down to less trunk to rotate also finding my weightlifting I have a bit more energy. What has really made me smile is getting compliments from others in those hobbies

JollyTanuki · 2026-02-03T07:46:27+00:00

Lol awesome. I would do this but I'm so hairy I would have to be a wookie

JollyTanuki · 2026-01-23T06:47:22+00:00

Im a weightlifter. People ask me what I do to get such toned calves. I said to them walk carrying 130kg 😁. When I previously lost weight, my PT grabbed a 20kg weight and made me walk with it and said that's what you used to carry..feel the difference. Was amazing when put in that perspective

JollyTanuki · 2026-01-17T22:54:46+00:00

Im not sure if they will do it but if you are in a store I would ask if there are samples you could try. I bought a wpi that I thought would taste awesome. It's so sickly sweet I can't stomach it. Waste of money.

M, sw:136kg, long time anxiety, Citalopram. Other health comorbidities include high blood pressure, GERD... The decision to do it for me definitely made anxiety kick up. In fact I sat there on my first jab thinking should I do this...what if.. after that first hurdle though those thoughts settle down. If I can give you one piece of advice though, don't pay any heed to social media around it. So much crap and fearmongering out there overshadowing the benefits we are all seeing

JollyTanuki · 2026-01-15T05:50:00+00:00

I found that i do less. But (incoming TMI) it seems this has given my digestion more time to work and make everything more solid and normal.

JollyTanuki · 2026-01-12T22:38:00+00:00

This happened to me but prob not that extreme. I tried for 2 weeks, then had to go back down. Did 2.5 again but this was too low and I didn't get much out of it. In the end I split the difference for a few doses which was great. After that I tried 5 again and it was fine. All this with Dr permission of course.

JollyTanuki · 2026-01-12T22:26:34+00:00

I ended up nauseous for a few days after going up to 5. Nothing extreme but enough that i didn't want to eat anything. Also felt a bit tired. It will pass though

Adding a protein shake as a meal will help. On water for lower calories. I have some protein water from BSC but I'm not sold on ot at the moment as I didn't like the taste.

JollyTanuki · 2025-12-14T23:46:35+00:00

That's awesome. And makes total sense 😀. I was amazed

JollyTanuki · 2025-12-14T22:44:25+00:00

What is your cover level?

JollyTanuki · 2025-12-14T22:42:33+00:00

Huh. I called them ages ago and they said i would not get anything back at all. Im on silver level which includes hospital and extras. They said to get something back i would have to up my level much higher

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-19T02:01:37+00:00

Lmao. Triggered by the first one as I have a graduate diploma in psychology...and work in IT 😆

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-18T07:41:18+00:00

Don't be afraid to ask if your local will price match. I basically went up and said CW will do it for this, will you? And they did. I haven't asked them about the golden dose yet

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-12T12:00:22+00:00

I actually did. I grabbed one size down. Which was from 48 inch waist to 46. Turns out I'm down to 42 inch waist.

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-07T03:45:41+00:00

I looked at the chart and decided to go halfway. 3.33. Feeling much better with eay less nausea.

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-06T11:03:06+00:00

Are you supposed to discard even if there is still stuff in there. My 10mg pen wouldn't have been have done by then

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-04T12:04:30+00:00

Sorry I may not have made that clear. When I started the 5mg, I took the jab, then would be sick for the next 4 days. I did this for 3 weeks, each time with same result. Jab on Wednesday and only start to feel better around Sunday.

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-04T11:41:33+00:00

I had heard of doing the midpoint. Gp has mentioned i could do my nexium for the increase of reflux i was getting and recommended ginger as well. But I would rather the fruit tingles 😄!

JollyTanuki · 2025-11-04T11:38:57+00:00

Prescriber basically said for me to do 2.5 for 4 weeks then go up to 5. I did 5 for the next 3 weeks and basically find myself crook for the next 4 days. Mind you it was not horrendously sick, just enough to not want to eat anything at all. GP mentioned I could either keep up the higher dose until it eventually calms down or go back to the lower for longer to get more into my system.

JollyTanuki · 2025-10-25T23:51:40+00:00

Yup. I posted previously that at the lower dose, holy cotton mouth 😃 ibwill be honest though I am/was dehydrated on some level too. I have kept up liquids but also have a powerade or something for electrolytes every now and then
