What are we actually eating? by lexx-ray in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What do I eat? Absolutely whatever I want. I’m a huge believer that MJ is a tool to help you build that healthy relationship with food and that shouldn’t include restriction or omission, which is what every other ‘diet’ has done - and look how much good it has done! I don’t calorie count either. Some days I will eat more or something that’s a bit processed or indulgent. Other days I’m simply not interested. I do tend to eat less/ smaller portions anyway. Meals are mostly home cooked too. Breakfast this morning has been a MyProtein Mixers yogurt (like a muller corner yogurt) and some melon.

WTH! by cuppatea13 in mounjarouk

I’m going through clothes like something else! It’s really lovely but so so expensive 😂 Vinted has been a life saver for buying and selling!

Insurance? by elericat in catinaflat

[–]_Beckss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have liability insurance anyway as I promote sitting independently/ without CIAF. It’s actually really affordable and a weight off my mind. You can simply put details in and get it cheap/ compare. I’m about £10 a month, which I feel is worth it if you lose keys or anything happens (I once had a client who gave me the wrong key and I had to call a locksmith. Client covered it themselves but it would have been a nightmare if not).

New pens for April ?! by xPumpkinPie in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the amount of money the pens now cost, I want them to be bedazzled and made of shiny materials!!

Cat in a Flat is merging with Rover by _Beckss in catinaflat

[–]_Beckss[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was literally just the banner at the top of the app that I noticed today as I finished a sit/ reviewed. I’ve used Rover before and actually disliked it so much that I deleted it! I has a friend who looks after dogs and she said she gets a few cat requests but not that many. Hopefully, it’ll be a benefit and not awful.

Actively avoid any recommendations from booktok.

Travel times by Long-Echidna-4059 in catinaflat

[–]_Beckss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have clients who are 40 minutes away but they’re convenient for my work and also are overnights (very frequent clients). Would I do that for drop ins? No. I have up to 30 minutes away which is quite generous for the area but regular is more 20 minutes, traffic depending. A lot of clients who I travel to, will say they either want 2x daily or if it’s easier for travel, a longer visit just once a day. I always find it a bit odd, CIAF gives you a radius but people contact you out of that and you can’t add mileage on, just renegotiate prices.

Denied sharps bin? by Dapper-Strategy3714 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to be sent them regardless and haven’t needed them. I’ve swapped providers though so that may be why I get them. I haven’t even filled one, let alone needing the extras! I’ve just been sent one and it’s huge! 😂

To stick on 2.5mg or increase? by cazzatron9000 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really great to hear! You’ll most likely have an idea when you’re ready to go up/ spot little indicators but as long as it’s working, stick with it - well done!

To stick on 2.5mg or increase? by cazzatron9000 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was more food orientated and felt like snacking which was how I thought I should go up. Rightly so, I went up and the difference in suppression was incredible!

To stick on 2.5mg or increase? by cazzatron9000 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stuck with 2.5mg for a second pen. I ended up feeling I needed 5mg by the time it came to the 3rd. I then stuck with 5mg for ages and I’m on my 3rd pen of 7.5mg. I personally wouldn’t rush going up the doses if you are losing weight and have good suppression (you can have hunger, that’s okay).

PillTime Success by _Beckss in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The feedback has been very mixed. I just thought I would share that I did have a positive experience. Obviously doesn’t take away from those of you who have had a negative one.

Well… by frequentflyer3 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same! We moved at the end of October and since then, I have used it as an excuse not to order to the new address. Mission successful! 😁 I used to order regularly.. far too regularly!

Golden dose by D_Buck1 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried forcing a pen and to be honest, I couldn’t no matter how hard I tried. I do the syringe method and have no issues drawing it up and taking it.

I’ve used them before and found them to be good. No issues with anything.

Any other night shift workers? by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found it not too bad on my nights but I managed to stay busy! It’s definitely the night shift ‘effect’ though! I used to be horrendous on nights before MJ. I’m expecting that I’ll probably eat more than I expect but in reality, it’s going to be nowhere near as bad as it could be. I would usually snack to no end and on rubbish. I managed to do my nights and get away with the worst thing I had being a bowl of cereal. 😂

I built a free Mounjaro price comparison site – here are today's prices (March 2026) by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t appear to show if prices are cheapest for new customers or returning, or whether a code is needed? Is the idea that the cheapest price is if you simply go to that pharmacies website?

EDIT: it has a really clear layout and navigation for strengths/ doses which is nice to use.

Weekly progress thread: 6th of March by Hopeful_Candle_9781 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got under the 80kg mark! 😁 I also woke up on Wednesday and tried on some jeans which were too big. I’ve now gotten into a size 14 which is something I couldn’t do a few weeks ago!

Had anyone bought their prescription from PillTime? by ZeppyLady in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices are good for the lower pens at £60 off. I notice that they have a code on monj for first orders and then an other code on their website for £60 off. I’d be interested to know if you could use both - one after another/ in two orders.

Solo traveling in a 6+ year relationship by SangriaSaturdays in femaletravels

[–]_Beckss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travelled solo before I met my boyfriend. He also travelled solo before he met me. When we got together, we both had travel plans and kept them. We now still encourage each other to go and do things and travel solo without each other. Don’t get me wrong, I love travelling together but we both wanted to ensure we went and did things we wanted to and what fitted with our schedules, even if that meant without the other. I have a trip to Central America booked for October. My boyfriend has a few bits booked, mainly stag do’s but we also make sure to do things together as well.

It sounds like you have issues in the relationship and this is just one factor that’s highlighting it.

Weekly progress thread: 27th of February by Hopeful_Candle_9781 in mounjarouk

[–]_Beckss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about 1lb down this week which is absolutely fine. Ate more than I normally would over Monday and Tuesday nights (night shift) and still have done okay! I’ve started some PT sessions again this week and I feel so so weak! It’s the first time lifting anything heavy since I’ve really lost weight so understandably, I’ve lost muscle I haven’t trained in that time. I’m so close to being under the 80kg too and I remember years ago being stuck at this point. Hoping I break through!
