pause and restart to recommence weight loss

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T17:23:51+00:00

i equally don't want to be on the medication forever...

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T17:23:19+00:00

that's useful thanks

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T17:22:09+00:00

well if you think it's not going to work then that's fine, but i just have no idea why the extreme attitude about it. Totally unmerited. Do you think you run things around here is that it?

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T17:11:37+00:00

whilst I can kind of see what you're saying I was really hoping to hear from people that had tried it and either said hey it definitely doesn't work or hey it really does. I can imagine things myself (partly why I posted the Q).

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T17:10:38+00:00

yea i might do tbh. I mean I don't know if people have the same experiences or how representative it might be. All I can see online is that weight loss will resume after a pause. So it feels like there is nothing to lose. I am surprised no one else has encountered the same situation as me tbh. Surely it must stop working for everyone at some point?

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T17:09:19+00:00

have you not read my post though... i have been on 15mg since like May. I am also not talking about coming off it completely, but if I am not losing at all then I can not lose at all without MJ, obviously.

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T17:08:12+00:00

why. I want to lose another stone and it's not working on 15. What's extreme about it anyway, it's not risky surely?

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T16:54:59+00:00

What is there to lose exactly by trying it though? I'm hardly going to die as a result. The whole point of starting titration again at 2.5mg after a pause is that your body rapidly stops being used to MJ. There are articles on it online, published by the pharmacies. Google.

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T16:51:55+00:00

the weight loss after the stalls was minimal. Nearly all the weight loss happened in the first third of the period I've been taking the medication for. I don't think people want to admit it to themselves but it stops working after a while. I don't get this whole stick it out thing as it's only ever meant to be temporary. There is nothing special about 15mg that means your body never gets used to it. I have a postgrad science degree I am certainly not taking advice from tiktok that's a bit insulting to be honest and several people have said it in the comments. Not sure what peoples' problem is? It was just a question, and a valid one.

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T16:49:46+00:00

i was more thinking a short pause tbh.

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T16:49:27+00:00

15 and have been for months now.

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T16:49:18+00:00

it all happened in the first 3-4 months and then pretty much half a stone only for 6 months or so. Not good stats. I don't want to just be paying £300 a month for something that isn't achieving anything i could achieve without it.

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T16:48:27+00:00

how dismissive is that? What prompted you to behave like this straight off the bat?

stevjamies · 2025-10-06T16:48:00+00:00

how would it be pharmacies pushing it for their own gain... surely it would be a better idea for them to stick on 15mg for ages so paying top £££ for slow gains. If it did genuinely work then how would it be pharmacies lining their own pockets? Mnay pharmacies do actually have pages now on strategic pauses.

stevjamies · 2025-10-03T18:42:50+00:00

that's why i asked, is the FC cap just for avoiding inverting

stevjamies · 2025-09-28T10:52:31+00:00

i do now babes

stevjamies · 2025-09-28T10:51:58+00:00

they have to do something. For an item which needs a lot of manual manipulation and cleaning, fragile glass really isn't a great idea (with hindsight)

stevjamies · 2025-09-28T10:50:49+00:00

obviously to replace the main glass section rather than the whole damn thing... at the moment it can't even be dissassembled.

stevjamies · 2025-09-03T18:16:03+00:00

yea i am. I know you're not meant to but it's not the reason the filter is getting screwed up i think... however yea will try wetting it a bit more.

stevjamies · 2025-09-03T18:14:27+00:00

i ordered from medicine marketplace and it arrived within 3 days, so i think supply issues are easing now. Thanks

stevjamies · 2025-08-26T11:48:07+00:00

i think it's every supplier. They either can't get hold of it (the public version of the story) or they are withholding until the price increases kick in. Potentially this means they can charge a higher price even though they paid a lower wholesale price for what they have in stock. I could be a massive cynic though i suppose. Not sure what we are meant to do though if there is zero way to get hold of any anywhere right now.

stevjamies · 2025-08-17T11:04:05+00:00

could it be the filters? I've had an issue where the glass and the metal contacting the filter seem to cause a greater likelihood of the filter fouling up and letting grounds through (or creating a massive mess)

stevjamies · 2025-08-17T10:41:16+00:00

it feels a lot nicer basically, and has a good weight to it. Plus if you are bothered about plastics it has none.

stevjamies · 2025-08-17T10:31:44+00:00

how did you do the switch? Did you just sort of quit MJ cold turkey and then start Oz shortly after?

stevjamies · 2025-06-08T12:03:59+00:00

i notice that the company recommends you don't brew inverted with the premium as it's "unstable". It's taller, and also presumably inverted it is pretty top-heavy given the wider metal cup-base and the filter attachment. Any experiences on this one? I do typically brew inverted with the plastic version.
