Hi. This thread has been really useful to me in understanding what to expect and see the bigger picture.
I’m a slow loser, I’ve had no side effects except a bit tired at times (but who isn’t!). I’m eating pretty much anything so it’s mostly willpower but the food noise is less which is hopeful for long term loss and maintenance.

Juniper automatically sent me 5mg pen after the 2.5 one so I’ve had two weeks on 5. In four weeks I’m away with my friends. I haven’t told anyone yet I’m doing this and atm you can’t tell as I’ve lost 8/9 ilbs since end jan. If I jab on Monday nights but I’m going away on a Friday would you gradually move your injection day each week so it’ll be a Friday? So I can jab and go away? Thanks.

Yeah you can so that. When i first started I injected on a Thursday then realised it wouldn't suit me so for my first pen I injected every 6 days until I reached Sunday and have injected Sundays ever since!

Reporting back from jeans shopping, 360’ mirrors and bright lights are NOT my friend and my bum and legs are lumpy 🥺 but they are also 2 sizes smaller than they used to be. Onwards and upwards, or downwards.
I swim several times a week and walk a bit, does anyone have any other suggestions for de-lumping legs?

Doing squat exercises and lunges will help with shaping your legs and bum. I started doing them in January, then did the 100 Squats a Day in Feb challenge for Cancer Research UK to raise money and I’ve just kept on doing them since. It is working, I’m building muscle there. I don’t think they’ll ever be perfect due to loose skin but I can already see and feel a difference.

Can I ask some advice please from anyone that has experienced hair loss from taking MJ?

I noticed yesterday that I’ve got a completely bald spot on the back of my head about the size of a £2 coin. I’ve seen my hairdresser who thinks it might be alopecia areata and has advised me to contact my GP. She said it definitely wasn’t there last month when she did my colour and cut.

Has anyone else suffering from hair loss experienced anything like this? As far as I was aware it more just general all over hair loss/thinning as a side effect and not bald spots. I have been on MJ for just over 7 months now and I’m currently on 10mg and have lost 3st 10lbs in total.

I have been pretty stressed recently about various things so I’d rather it’s caused by stress rather than the MJ 😭

I've not suffered but that's sounds quite dramatic for weighloss related hair loss.
Def see your Dr and ask for blood tests (don't let them fob you off)

Thank you Pink. I will do, I’m going to make an appointment first thing tomorrow. I’m mortified but I really don’t think it’s down to the MJ 🙏🏼 surely it wouldn’t just appear after 7 months?

My daughter has had this on and off over the last few years and the drs told her it’s stress related. They did give her some kind of cream to use but I’m not convinced it did much good. However it did all grow back and now she’s fine, but the bald spots kept appearing on and off for a couple of years. I’d definitely see your dr, but what you describe definitely sounds like alopecia.

I posted about the scales not moving again for almost 2 weeks, but woke up this morning 1lb down. Hopefully they keep moving! Doing my third dose of 5mg tonight. I’ll be going into my 8th week and have lost 1st 3.8lb so far (started at 12st 2), so a bit slower than others but I’m ok with it. Only have 1st 5ish until my goal 🎉

Has anyone been getting headaches? I'm on week 2 and have been suffering the last couple of days. I'm drinking enough and eating regularly - up to my deficit, which is only 1200 calories.

Wondering if there's a way around them!
