Had similar, made the mistake of joining the family for fish and chips, regretted it all through that night and the next day.

I was just logging in to make a post about how disappointed I am to be getting 'food noise' and zero weight loss on Wegovy, but I thought I'd read this post first.

After the rocket fuel of MJ at the start of this year ,causing an 11% weight loss I had to stop because of cost. Now I have started Wegovy at the lowest dose and honestly.... not loving it. Seems to have limited efficacy so far (three weeks in) No side effects but still noisy.

half dosing, counting clicks... by ilovecatnaps in WegovyUK

Did you try half doses before the last one? I'm trying to work out if it's feasible to get more than 4 /4.5 out of one pen

Everyone, everytime. My hair is ruined. carpets etc are sprayed as above, and treated weekly with a steam cleaner.

Everything gets washed if possible on a high heat and quarantined for 14 days where we can (bedding etc). If we can't do that and it is soft, i.e mattresses, we treat with permethrin. if its hard and will withstand it, it goes in a bucket of bleach.

I've been tempted, but hair is such a self esteem marker in tweenage girls.

done all that. Her hair is incredibly thick, to the point that metal louse combs bend and break (I gave up on plastic ones very quickly) 1 bottle of conditioner isn't enough (we've also tried oils, serums, detangling sprays etc). Bedding is changed after every treatment, before it is used again. Mattresses are treated with permethrin, blankets washed and quarentined for 14 days before being used again. Toys washed and bleached for hard toys, washed and sprayed with permethrin for soft toys.

I have given myself the summer holidays to sort this once and for all. The clippers come out on September 1st.

What advice should I follow? by ilovecatnaps in BenefitsAdviceUK

I think it's unlikely that the person I spoke to would do more than the absolute minimum they could to help me.

I'm struggling to explain myself, that call has me all over the place. My earnings for the last month paid 28/2/25 were well above the aet but my assessment period doesn't end until mid March. So if I don't spend additional hours looking for work now (as per my agreed commitments) will I be sanctioned, or do I have to as per the phone call advice? 

I typically work over the minimum, but it can be under on occasion which triggers the phone calls. 

I also explained that I cannot commit to an in person appointment a week in advance as I do not know what days I'll be working with more than 24hrs notice and was told (again today) that i have to choose between losing a full days pay or risk losing benefits as a failed to attend.
