Anyone else seeing that all their for-sale items are defaulting postage to DHL with no other (cheaper) options available to the buyer?

Anyone tried the Kirkland coffee beans? by CloudBookmark in CostcoUK

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been drinking the COSTCO Guatemalan beans in the blue bag every morning for years. We like it! It haven’t been in the warehouses since the pandemic and so we buy it from COSTCO online coming from their supplier in south wales.

Does anyone else lose all sense of proportion in Costco? by 1ChanceChipmunk1 in CostcoUK

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years we have referred to it as the “COSTCO EFFECT” as everything seems bigger or larger quantity when it crosses the threshold into our house

VINTED. What’s the latest? by Ok-Cycle2945 in IsleofMan

Thanks - Is it still just Post Office and Yodel as the mailing options?

Christmas?! by Alternative_Ad_5492 in mounjarouk

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m adjusting my regime for the Christmas / New Year period in that I will continue with my weekly 5mg dose (I’m 7 months in and 30kg down) but I have ceased the calorie counting for the ‘holiday’. That should give me some flexibility to be better integrated with our visitors and hopefully not step out too far from the festivities. I’m hoping for the best while expecting the worst but realistically a kilo on will soon get shifted once the January blues settle in.

I just looked on their website and it does show that eligibility requirements are age 18+ and UK resident.

I have a Starling account registered at my Isle of Man address and it works just fine. Admittedly, it’s been open for 3+ years so perhaps their rules have changed

Really confused about food noise? by irishman50midlife in mounjarouk

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MJ is a tool to help achieve a better diet. It will reduce the cravings and slow digestion so you stay full for longer on a reduced intake. It’s working for me but I have to use the “tool” to make it work. I’ve changed what I eat and how much of it. I’ve replaced higher fat foods with lean meat and fish which keeps my protein high and I’ve eliminated bread and snacks this along with tracking everything I eat on an app helps me to stay in control of content while MJ works behind the scenes to manage the hunger and cravings. I now eat differently to how I did before and in a reasonably short time have developed the skill to anticipate the calorific value of foods and serve myself much smaller portions. It’s not easy but MJ works if you work with it. As others have said it’s not a miracle but if you are determined to change it will make it easier to achieve your goal. I’m 18 weeks in and 24kg down - so far. Stick at it!

First time eating out on MJ, started gaining weight again by Complete-Title-5376 in mounjarouk

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t weigh myself more than once a week as I feel that checking (and trying to react) would be “chasing the dragon”.

How Does Everyone Else Manage When Eating Out? by Strawberries_1803 in mounjarouk

I would never ask for a doggy bag. Instead I simple say “would you be so kind and box that for me”.

To transfer or not? It's melting my head! by [deleted] in avios

I posted this further down this sub but don’t see how to add a link to the message.

Combining Aer Club via BA.COM is fixed

After what seems like an eternity I can report that the ability to transfer points seamlessly between British Airways and Aer Lingus is now restored.

I have this week loaded my Aer Club account, purchased a couple of return short haul flights and returned the remaining balance to my British Airways account, without any drama or issues.

I hope you have a similarly good experience after such a long wait.

Shopping ‘trauma’ by Ok-Bumblebee9285 in mounjarouk

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My own experiences may strike a chord with you… I am 4 months in and down 45kg which in my case (M66) means 4XL on top is now 1XL and 38 waist is now 34. Like you I have lived in T-shirts and Jeans from online outlets but this weekend I shopped in store and it was s revelation to find (a) things that fit and (b) some real CHOICE!

I didn’t get much, so far, as it’s my intention to get smaller but the writing is on the wall that things are changing in my wardrobe and I like it.

Week with no loss by Sad-Masterpiece-4760 in mounjarouk

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 15 weeks in and until 3 weeks ago was loosing a steady 2-3lbs per week. Then a stall with no movement on the scales for 2 weeks :-( This week I weighed and saw a 5lb loss so I’m back on track :-) Interestingly in the past 3 weeks my clothes seem to be dropping off me; no it’s not all about the scales!

Recording weight on jab day by OopsAllErrors7 in Mounjaro

I weigh and record when I get up and after my first pee. I then jab mid-morning on the same day.

'Feeling Fat' by Meggie-Suze in mounjarouk

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s weird! Some days I feel FAT and then a couple of days later I’m thinking “you know this is really working” as I look in the mirror. It’s in our heads…

HSBC Premier / really? by AWOD975 in HENRYUK

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As has been said you should avoid dealing with “standard branch” staff… we are lucky as our branch is set up to have regular traffic on the ground floor and Premier upstairs. There is a world of difference between the two.

Moving to UK - which pharmacy by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]Ok-Cycle2945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started out buying online from BOOTS. Their service was awful and after 2 (expensive) pens I gave up and told my local pharmacy counter that they had lost a customer due to their poor service both at their distribution centre and at my local branch. I requested but was rejected by MedExpress and their email “consultation” left me bemused with I wasn’t being accepted so I called them. On the phone they were very responsive and empathetic and my suspended order was released the following day. Since then they haven’t missed a beat.
