Just wondering how easy it is to switch providers? I used Med Express for my first pen with an introductory discount, but now I can't find a code that works for my second pen with them. Has anyone else bought them from different companies?

I'm looking at one of those roller cages that help with sit ups and it will probably not make it out the box eitherI bought a special hoola hoop thing I saw advertised to help with tummy fat. It's made absolutely no difference so far unfortunately.
Perhaps I ought to take it out of the box?
Is anyone on 7.5 and struggling? I’ve felt like I’m going to be sick pretty much all day and I’ve got a red rash where I injected which hasn’t happened before and I injected on Sunday 
I’m losing a lot of weight this week so far but only because I can barely eat! This has been my worst first week of a dose so far.
I’m losing a lot of weight this week so far but only because I can barely eat! This has been my worst first week of a dose so far.I’m on day 4 and starting to feel a bit hungrier again. Although I’ve barely eaten anything the last 3 days. Day 8 of cutting right back on snacks and I’ve lost nothing! Absolutely nothing!
I have used a different supplier for each pen, I just use whoever is cheapest when I need to order. So far Lloyds Online (bought from them without even considering it might be priced differently elsewhere), Voy, Bolt, MedExpress and eSurgery.

I felt very sick my first few days on 7.5. I had some cyclzine (Why I can't recall) took that and it sorted me right out.Is anyone on 7.5 and struggling?

Really easy apparently. There’s lots of discount codes on the Facebook groups. Although some companies don’t prescribe when your BMI hits 30, even if you have started your journey elsewhere. My BMI is 35 and I started with zava , only certain companies let you carry on to 23 etc x
Thanks - It’s *almost* as if my food noise was heightened tonight.
Read: I spend a lot of time thinking about cake
I had a takeaway burger last night. Didn't have the cheesy chips I would have had with it before MJ but paying for it this morning But it was my first takeaway in three weeks and won't be rushing for another
But it was my first takeaway in three weeks and won't be rushing for anotherOoh I will look into that thank you! I’ve also had a bit of a revelation That I tend to suffer from low blood pressure so I think part of the sickness and dizziness is due to that caused by my calorie deficit and being on
My BMI is 26.2 today so I really need to start thinking about the next stage and how to maintain. I may only have 3 more months of this which takes me into the colder months so I exercise less.
I could have written this. (but thankfully him indoors has always been supportive of me). I was 13st 13lbs starting off so was obese and a size 18. 10 stone now and size 14 so still not a slip of a girl. Baggy apron belly aside I no longer cringe at my reflection or avoid photos. Good luck trust the process.
However my doctor is advocating staying on this medication long term. I was without supply for a while during shortages and the food noise was back. I held the weight off pretty much but I think long term without the help it would come back and weight creep up

Well done!! I can’t wait to not cringe at myself in the mirror. How long did it take you to get down to 10 stone?

Don't be disheartened! Just give yourself some grace & be patient. Stick with your new plan to cut back on snacks, make sure to eat lots of protein, and drink lots of water. I am almost certain you will see a change as you increase in dosage. The first few doses are to help you adjust to the medication and they only reach proper effectiveness at the higher therapeutic doses. Some are lucky and see a change right away, but the rest of us have to be a bit patient!
9 - 10 months and there were hols and life in the middle
What I'm finding weird (day 5) is not being hungry when previously I ate food non stop. You don't get fat any other way 
. I'm a SAHM but kids are all at school so housewife really. I'm still thinking about food, just not as much and only because sometimes I don't have anything to occupy myself with and I look at the clock and be like "oh its 1pm, I haven't had anything to eat yet, perhaps I should have some lunch". It's so strange. I took my son who's finished year 11, for a hair cut and it's near mcdonald's usually I'd be thinking oooh I'll take him there afterwards but the thought didn't even cross my mind. I only remembered when we were home that that's what I would have usually done.

I only remembered when we were home that that's what I would have usually done.So I took my first dose of 2.5 last night at around 11:30pm so it’s been about 14 hours since. I watched TikTok videos on how to actually set the medication up for the injection and how to do the injection also. The leaflet wasn’t helpful and I find it easier learning from someone else doing it. The injection itself was completely painless and I hate injections. I only felt a slight sensation from injecting the medication.
I’ve had no side effects so far, I’ve actually been questioning whether I did inject right
I would say I’ve had appetite suppression as it’s nearly 2pm and I haven’t felt hungry yet. I do keep thinking about food but just in the sense that I’m checking if I am actually hungry or just convincing myself I’m not?

Thank you. I know my eating isn’t great. I’m not great with protein and fibre in general. My adhd definitely impacts the foods I choose and like but I have been much better because of no snacks. I was really hoping for early changes. My calorie consumption must have halved with cutting out my snacking. I’ve done better with water too. Yay to adhd means I often don’t drink until afternoon/evening and even then it’s max 1L a day. I’ve been doing 3L daily over the day. Definitely doing better and these are the habits I need to adopt. I must remember that.
What would you do…?
I’ve been prescribed penicillin for strep throat, and I’m due to start Mounjaro 5mg tomorrow…
Would you hold off injecting, or still inject?

Keep going and stay hydrated.
Second week of Wegovy. I’m down -5lb which is awesome because I didn’t put in that much effort last week. I just naturally ate less without thinking about it, which is unheard of for me!
The problem is I’m so so tired. I work from home and am having to nap at lunchtime because I’m worn out. Upping my activity levels just seems impossible because of the fatigue. Does the tiredness ease over time?
