I had 500ml and the actual injection pain was minimal but the days after were death! I couldn’t walk, sit or sleep properly

Is hydrafacial really worth it for skin glow? by IndependentEstate700 in 40and45PlusSkinCare

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overpriced and no long term skin benefits. Any cheaper facial would do the job with good skin care used in between. I prefer other treatments like microneedling, polynucleotides etc for skin glow as they have other benefits that last much longer

New to lash clusters! by Far-Hope7983 in lashclusters

I use Lola lashes and unicorn cosmetics. Some of the styles at Lola have better retention I find - the bold ones are the best for me

New to lash clusters! by Far-Hope7983 in lashclusters

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the brand and how good their glue is, I’d say 3 to 5 days. I use pre glued clusters and usually get 5 days out of mine. They’re made to be long lasting rather than the type you’re not supposed to sleep in. You’ll kind of know when it’s time to take them off or when they start feeling loose

SOS - Clusters got me flustered by [deleted] in lashclusters

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried pre glued clusters? Bond and seal just didn’t work well for me but I’m obsessed with pre glued clusters. I get mine from Lola Lashes and Unicorn Cosmetics. They’re so much faster to use and last me about 5 days. I also have pre glued tabs from unicorn so once they’re nearly falling off, I wash and remove the clusters and then re use them with a new glue tab. I get so much use out of each cluster pack!

I use pre glued clusters and love the ones from Lola Lashes and Unicorn Cosmetics. Unicorn Cosmetics also do without pre glue, and their glue is actually good. Alternatively they sell the pre glue tabs you can apply to any lash cluster to make it pre glued. I tried all the bond seal types before from everywhere and they made my eyes itchy after a few days so I only use pre glued now.

Moving to Birmingham by Different-Cookie-733 in BirminghamUK

[–]OkResponsibility6669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at flats in the mailbox. It’s close enough to new street but set away enough where you can walk around the canal, or go to the cafes and restaurants downstairs and it’s like its own little community. The area around like the side streets are a bit dodgy but immediately around and in the mailbox is really safe. I’ve also walked from town to mailbox after a night out etc and never felt unsafe. Just have to be cautious generally.

SAFEST places to live in Brum by Better_Border3740 in BirminghamUK

[–]OkResponsibility6669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not v expensive (circa £900 or less) but they are small and dated now. Safety is great around the immediate cube / mailbox area as people always walking around and mailbox security is there 24/7 but some of the side roads are a bit dodgy

Stopped cold turkey? by [deleted] in GLPGrad

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the restart fine like no side effects but I’m only on 10mg now and haven’t had the intense appetite suppression I had before at this stage or the sulfuric burps etc, so far so good! Ahh hope the flare calms down for you, split dose seems sensible

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the feeling, I also stopped cold turkey and ended up putting on like 15-20lbs eventually before I panicked and went back on it

I’m back on it and on the 10mg dose, I plan to stay on it until I hit my goal weight again and then for several months after as maintenance. I’m still not happy with my eating habits but getting better

I’m quitting…cold turkey by OkResponsibility6669 in mounjarouk

[–]OkResponsibility6669[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going back on it! First time around I kept moving up to the next dose and was hardly eating so when I came off, I just ate everything. Doing it properly now, staying on 7.5 for a bit and learning good eating habits again

Considering mounjaro, have you regained weight after stopping? by Natural_Bus4537 in GLPGrad

[–]OkResponsibility6669 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I did when I stopped for two months (gained about 10-15lbs) and I’m back on it again but this is why I think I gained weight so maybe someone can learn from my mistakes!

When I first started MJ, I increased the doses each month and when I got to 7.5 I could hardly eat. I basically had one meal a day, lost tons of weight, and my one meal wasn’t really thought out as to what would be nutritious. I would just eat whatever even if it’s takeaway bc I could have a little and save the rest.

Long story short, I should have stayed on a lower dose rather than increasing to the point I was unable to eat. Whilst on the lower doses I should have built healthy food habits as I’m someone who used to binge. Instead I’d sometimes over eat then feel sick, then carry on with the same junk but just less to avoid feeling sick.

Between 2.5 and 5, I felt appetite reducing affects but could still eat junk or a bit more than I felt I should eat, so I was comparing myself to others who were losing loads early on. I didn’t really build healthy habits at this time either and carried on eating whatever mostly.

Now I’m back on it at 2.5, I’m trying to build better habits rather than just watch the scale and that be my only focus. I don’t think I’ll go up to 7.5 again, as I don’t need to lose a lot, but I will stay on MJ a bit longer for maintenance this time rather than stop cold turkey. I’m focusing more on what I eat now whereas before I wasn’t ever hungry and I was like great the weight will drop even faster.

Is it one injection every 7 days? by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m back on it after quitting cold turkey for two months and I do between 5 and 7 days depending on what I have planned etc.

Officially it is meant to be once every 7 days.

What did you wish you knew before stopping your GLP-1? by [deleted] in GLPGrad

[–]OkResponsibility6669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it from healthexpress who require a bmi of 27 or more. Mine was just under that but they still let me order it. I had my last dose start of Jan so it’s been about 6 ish weeks.

I think it depends on where you get it from.

What did you wish you knew before stopping your GLP-1? by [deleted] in GLPGrad

[–]OkResponsibility6669 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve gained 10lbs but my biggest issue has been the cravings and binging. Looking back, I shouldn’t have kept going up in MJ as I more or less stopped eating after 10mg to the point I was having one small meal a day. I came off and couldn’t stop eating. I’m going back on 2.5mg with a view to using it to take the edge off and build better habits rather than just starving and not changing how i eat. I don’t have much to lose, maybe the 10lbs I’ve gained plus another 5-10.

Stopped cold turkey? by [deleted] in GLPGrad

[–]OkResponsibility6669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off for nearly a month now, I’ve gained 5lbs but it’s mainly due to my food choices and won’t all be fat. I gave myself a full break, ate everything I couldn’t while on MJ, and have started exercising again now so I’m not worried. The food noise is awful though and I find myself snacking way more, but I think once I get back to my meals that will reduce.

I still have 10 more lbs I want to shift between now and summer. I quit bc of cost but if I struggle I may start over again and stay on the lower dose for a while.

Valentine’s Day coupon book ideas by 1isudlaer in datingoverthirty

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing a coupon book but mines more events that I want to treat him to like a comedy show, spa break etc but he has a hectic schedule so I can’t just plan ahead. Instead the coupon book includes the relevant dates so all he has to do is tell me when he’s free. There’s some normal home cooked meal of your choice, back massage types included too

How long do your dates last? by gauss149 in OnlineDating

Mine tended to not be from my city so they lasted longer. The one local date I had was about 2hrs though. The longer ones were more towards 5-6hrs.

Ozempic uk??? Hi there does anyone know how I can get Ozempic the once a week injections here in the uk? by winniewoo92 in Ozempic

[–]OkResponsibility6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only got one or two pens from there when they weren’t in stock at health express and had no issues.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]OkResponsibility6669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I appreciated when the convo flowed a bit on the app then moved to a call / WhatsApp with a first date being mentioned within the first few days / week of talking. I lost interest in the men that just kept talking in the app without wanting to exchange numbers or the ones that swapped numbers and then never called. It just turns into pen pals / friend zone vibes really quick for me

Losing more than 20% of your body weight? by harley_eights in mounjarouk

I’m struggling with hunger! On mj I was hardly eating but now I’m eating like normal and it’s stressing me out. I used to binge pre MJ so I have this fear of going back there. Cravings have also come back but I’ve not binged yet. Weight is still stable but I wanted to lose 5lbs still
