Yes it was me! I just used the regular message function to ask as I knew I was about to drop below 30. Their reply said they will supply me until I reach my goal weight or a 23 BMI, They said there would be no need to taper off either. But I’d prefer to do it that way. As it is my goal weight is around a 24 BMI so I should be able to get a continued supply for at least a while do a maintenance dose and then try and taper off.
I thought the same! As far as I know he is not only taking Ozempic himself but spent 12 months researching and speaking to to industry leaders, the two main companies that make the pens as well as hundreds of people that take the drug both successfully and unsuccessfully.I’m intrigued and also concerned, what makes Jonathan Hari an expert? Is he an endocrinologist? I’m a bit sceptical about people who write books about health or eating or diets
I know. I feel the same. This has literally changed my life. I feel so sad my mum wasn’t able to have this stuff all those years ago. I’ve spoken to others who feel the same. But we sort of whisper amongst ourselves because we are a bit scared others might have preconceptions and try to dissuade / judge us. When people start noticing my weight loss I will be honest with them that’s for sure.I read these storys and I’ve never been so happy for so many strangers on the internet
He took ozempic himself and lost about 3 stone I think.I’m intrigued and also concerned, what makes Jonathan Hari an expert? Is he an endocrinologist? I’m a bit sceptical about people who write books about health or eating or diets
been off work. Yeah, me too. He’s a disgraced former journalist. Can’t remember which paper he worked for, possibly the Independent? He was cancelled for plagiarism and editing Wikipedia entries against anyone who criticised him. Not very trustworthy, is he?I’m intrigued and also concerned, what makes Jonathan Hari an expert?

Hi, I started on wegovy in January with a BMI of 37 which is now down to 32. I'm just over 2 stone down and feel great. I have minor side effects, a little nausea for a couple of days after the jab, and I seem to feel cold a lot.
Congratulations on your weight loss! I’m a bit torn between Wegovy and Mounjaro to be honest because I want to start on the right foot.
Oh wow, 23 BMI seems very generous lol! Thank you for replyingYes it was me! I just used the regular message function to ask as I knew I was about to drop below 30.

Congrats on your weight loss!
Don’t hide it tell your loved ones you’re doing this. I told my husband and he’s been really supportive. Told him I might not be drinking wine with him twice a week anymore!! Think he was relieved tbhMine has just arrived and I've hidden it in the fridge to start tomorrow. Just had to tell someone
It’s been so nice though knowing that he knows in case I feel unwell etc. All I’ve done is keep showing him how much weight I’ve lost !! Also when we went out for our usual Saturday lunch I only fancied a salad and he didn’t query that as I told him my appetite has changed.Just makes it even easierHi! Feel free to be nosey. I totally understand being cautious in spending the money, the prices are horrid.Hope you all don’t mind me being a little nosey. I’m really contemplating starting but want to get some more perspectives first. I’m a single mom so it’s an awful amount of money to spend
How old is everyone? I’m 29 and feeling like such a failure that I can’t do this on my mind - I keep blaming it on tiredness and my little boy keeping me up in the night so I just snack on chocolates etc and feel the need to eat them all the time, just rubbish excuses really that I just can’t shake
What brand injections are you using?
What was your starting weight and how much have you lost?
Sorry if it’s too much, haven’t read the previous threads but currently half way through this one - well done to all of you who are doing so amazing, you’re really inspiring me!
I very much relate to that fed up feeling. I don't want to give false hope or anything but in the FB groups and subreddits I have seen quite a few success stories from women who have lost weight using these meds and then fallen pregnant. Including women who have PCOS.
Yes! I would be very svelt if I got to 23 lol. I don't think I've been that light since I was in my early teens.Oh wow, 23 BMI seems very generous lol! Thank you for replying
Hi! Feel free to be nosey. I totally understand being cautious in spending the money, the prices are horrid.
I’m 32, started at 258lbs in June of 2023 (so just over 38 BMI, if I remember right?) and last time I weight myself was at 196lbs. I am on Wegovy, and previously was on Ozempic (which is the same medication just a different brand name). I order through Boots and have been very happy with their customer service but you can definitely find better deals sometimes. I really struggled with late night snacks and emotional eating before the medication and I've found that has almost completely stopped now - save for a little bit of PMS craving close to my period. I think maybe because the med cuts down all the 'food noise' in my head? So if I'm sad/mad/bored/lonely or whatever the first thought isn't 'Oh I'm going to have a chocolate bar to make myself feel better'. I don't follow a specific diet but I do try to eat protein at every meal and get in my five a day and lots of water.

I think the main issue at the moment with the NHS route is that the waitlists for the tier 4 service are super long (though if your GP has fast tracked you, maybe it won't be too bad? Might be worth asking how long you'll have to wait). Supplies are better now than they were last year, at least in the UK.

You lost two stones a month; on average. Wow, congratulations how do you feel?
Thank you
The first couple of stone seemed to fly off and then towards the end of each dosage I've plateaued. But keeping consistent at the gym and staying in a calorie deficit has been key to making sure when I do stop wegovy that I can maintain my weight. I expect to gain some back (my initial goal was 9 stone so I've gone well below this).
I switched because I'd hit such a plateau and feeling good, not as tired as wegovy and better bowels
