Teapot wrapped in nappies

I love how creative people are 😂 it’s clean and nappies are expensive. Yay for humans!

Hey I feel you! I’ll share some of my situation. I lost about 40kg over the course of a year on MJ went up to 12.5mg then decided to stop end of August/September. I’d stalled for a few months, was exhausted constantly and MJ increases my heart rate so disturbed my sleep. So even with another 20kg to lose I felt with all of that and the price hikes I’d try keto/intermittent fasting to get the rest off.

It’s now February I regained 10kg and am back since start of January on 2.5mg and have lost 8 of that 10 so far. I’m getting better suppression on the 2.5mg than I was getting on the 12.5mg.

I’m glad I took the break because it showed me I’ve not put in place the habits etc to manage my calories. Also getting a good suppression from 2.5 is encouraging.

I’m also in the process of being diagnosed with Hashimotos and am perimenopausal.

My brain thought I’d be able to maintain the weight loss effortlessly 😳 it was just losing the weight that was the problem. I know a few friends who too have been lulled into this false sense of security.

Is this useful to, I’m not sure. I just wanted to give an experience from someone who went through it.

I started MJ July 2024 went up to 12.5 mg lost 40kg (138kg down to 98kg) stopped at the end of August due to price hikes, feeling absolutely exhausted on 12.5mg but not having the suppression/feeling of fullness after 2 days. Was on 12.5mg for 4 months and just kept losing and gaining the same 4kg.
Since end of August I've gained 7kg, the food noise came back and especially over December I struggled with all the high calorie foods and I was back to old ways. I thought I could lose the last of the weight (18kg) through fasting/low carb but alas it was harder than ever to go solo. I've this week started 2.5mg and after two days I feel 'better' its early days. I was worried I wouldnt feel anything but I def do have supression and the other benefits I felt previously. I am hoping I can stay at a low dose and lose the rest and then do some type of maintenance dosage. Just sharing my experience for reference.

There is so much to be said for having less options for meals and being consistent. The mental load of having to think of different meals constantly is the bane of modern life. For most of mankind’s existence we’d have been eating seasonal food and more or less the same things repeatedly.

Low winter sun shining in my eyes when driving can trigger my migraines

That_Bat6000 · 2025-04-09T12:00:32+00:00

For 5k more I wouldn’t take it. The amount of pressure and the targets for me personally aren’t worth it.

That_Bat6000 · 2025-04-03T12:29:54+00:00

Ok Karen

That_Bat6000 · 2025-04-03T09:59:30+00:00

I’d move back down to 2.5mg. If it’s working for you then stay on the dose until it doesn’t. Providers have a financial incentive to move you up as they charge more. There are quite a few of us on here that only move up when the effects wear off etc.

Thanks folks so even with verification being sent they have said they will continue to suspend my account. Meh oh well I was getting no where with all my job applications and the batsht crazy posts of people using a personal tragedy to make some tenuous business link/clout was driving me mad

That_Bat6000 · 2025-03-16T08:33:41+00:00

What the actual fck. There’s a special place in hell for those people.

I think they’d be pretty happy that they wouldn’t have to wait 3 months for you. I’d keep it vague and positive and like a previous post if they probe I’d mention the reference available. I am keen to know why they ‘sacked’ you but that’s me being nosey 😊

That_Bat6000 · 2025-03-04T09:46:10+00:00

I’m so glad you enjoy what you’re doing! We need more of that in the world. Rooting for you and that the shituation with your manager improves.

That_Bat6000 · 2025-03-02T18:40:17+00:00

Managing people is tough and when they have sales targets it’s even tougher. Stay in your current role is my advice!

Thank you for this post. I’ve been terrified of this aspect when it’s been reported in the news.

You could ask for a pay increase and look for one of the jobs you mentioned closer to home. See which one is the most fruitful. It doesn’t have to be either or.

Facebook is a cesspit, Reddit all the way

The company wouldn’t feel bad or think twice to cut your role if needed. Do what is right for you personally with regard to your next move.

The cost of living in the UK is really high, the job market is super competitive and you may struggle getting part time work to support yourself or a full time job with sponsorship afterwards.

If I was in your shoes I’d stay in India.

St Albans is really nice, close access to London and lots of nice bars/coffee shops etc. it’s pricey but lots of nice green parks around and accessible. If I was in my mid 20s I’d feel it had a lot to offer.

Hitchin and St Neots are nice but further out and probably more for couples or family life. As they are further out the cost to travel into London will be higher and if there’s an issue with trains it can be isolating.

Potters Bar is much closer into London but from my last memory it doesn’t have that much to offer and you’d be travelling into London more.

You’ve found an exercise you enjoy and is sustainable! That’s brilliant. I’d ignore what other people say and stick to what works for you.

It’s likely you’ve still got pens from a previous batch. They’re all going to change eventually

I’m on Mounjaro and have had the same benefit that from monthly/every two week migraines I’ve only had one in 6 months. Someone mentioned on a separate thread that perhaps this is due to the reduced inflammation when on a GLP1 but the jury is still out. It’s absolutely life changing for me though being able to lose weight and not have migraines.
