Weight loss jabs

There are some odd comments on here from people who just tend to say fat cunts .. shouldn’t be so lazy.
My Mrs tried absolutely everything to lose weight, exercise , giving things up but after initial successes it always crept back on..
She has been on Mounjaro now for around 4 and half months and has lost around 3 and a half stone and is now only half a stone off her target weight of 9 and a half stone.
Not only does she look a lot better for it, her mental state has also improved as she has always hated being overweight.
So it has been a priceless help as far as we are concerned.
Yes, she was a bit worried at the potential increase in price of it, but as we are absolutely loaded I have told her to stay on it as long as she wants …whatever the price goes to.
So to those who slag anyone off who is on it, I say as long as you, or anybody else is not paying for them, it’s none of your business..

I'm on Mounjaro self funded after years of trying to lose weight.
I've lost 4 stone in 4 month. And changed my life. I won't be on it after xmas as i'll come off it. I wasn't huge looking. But i was unhealthy.

I have ADHD, so struggle with sticking to things. I also eat for comfort, if i'm bored, if i'm happy etc.

There's plenty of judgmental folk on here. It's not as easy as you think.

Just to add, I've not just continued eating crap food and boozing. I've completely changed my lifestyle too. 1500 cals deficit a day. 10k steps average too.

I won't be going back to fat.

Despite the fact she is getting plenty of compliments, I am hoping the lifestyle choice keeps the predators away. Plus, she is six years younger than me and in better health, so statistically if she is a little bit patient she cops for the lot.

2. How to you go about getting a prescription

Apparently there is a hunger switch in your body and it suppresses it.
It is not a miracle cure in you cannot continue as you are,there has to be lifestyle changes.
It just makes dieting that much easier as you are not constantly thinking about food and drink. One major difference for my Mrs is,she will now stop eating when she feels full and not when the plate is empty..
It also removes the urge to snack between meals.
NHS prescription no chance.
Private prescription via the internet.
Most choose the supplier based on price it does vary between suppliers.
You have to have a certain body mass index before you can get it.
My Mrs also had to supply photos before they would prescribe it.
Once you are on it they will allow you to continue even when your BMI is no longer obese.
They contact your doctor to inform them they are supplying it to you.
Of course paying for something that’s expensive, no doubt helps concentrate the mind on ensuring it’s a success.

I've changed my mind about this a bit. Can only be a good thing to lower obesity and subsequently other related illnesses/diseases. So well done to everyone for taking the plunge. I hope it continues to work out for you all.

Why NHS “ no chance “?
 
I stopped drinking beer during the week.
I’ve stopped eating cakes and biscuits, bar the odd treat.
I had a scone, butter, and a pot of team at M&S today. :-)
I use a sugar substitute called Xylitol, which is a natural substance made from plants.
It’s calorie free, looks and tastes like sugar.
I cut butter out years ago when the price went through the roof.
I don’t drink fizzy drinks.
I now eat more fruit than I have very done.
I have a manual job that involves at lot of walking for 8 hours a day.
I have lost weight, and I maintain a steady weight.
I feel better than I have done in a long time.

Fair play, but what’s your point?

Demand far outstrips supply so they have set the bar very high. You must not only be morbidly obese but also have other life threatening illnesses. Even so there are still many who qualify but there are not the available funds to deal with them. You have to enquire through your GP and they have been inundated since the announcement, so much so, many have stopped taking enquiries.

Imagine waking up and knowing that’s the best you’re going to feel all day.
