Well I decided to bring forward my first injection by 8 hours as I thought I'm going bed early anyways so better than faffing about at 5am trying to make sure I correctly follow the process for the first time

That was incredibly simple

Also very painless. I'm fine with needles tho so that prob helps (tiny needle anyways, safely put into the sharps bin they provided)

Already feeling very full (i did have dinner about 7 but it's like I've been topped up)

Could be placebo effect tho

Tomorrow is the real test. Only porridge and some left over turkey for my meals at work

Normally just porridge at 8 has me hungry again by 10

Good luck. Keep us updated as will be interesting to have some first hand experiences.

Driving to work at 6am I felt hungry and I was like what's this? I shouldn't be surely? But then I haven't eaten in 11 hours or so

I still haven't had breakfast, just had a tea

What I've done is set up alarms on my phone to schedule meals to remind me

09:00 breakfast today. Gonna put on some porridge

13:00 I've got left over turkey and beef

Then I'll just eat dinner as normal with the wife

My colleague is talking of coming off it as she isn't seeing the results she wanted "only" 1.5 stone in 7 weeks (she seen our other colleague lose 3 stone in 8 weeks) and she put on over Xmas she said but drank a lot so prob that

I'm so lucky I don't drink, otherwise I'd be buggered. It's the only thing I strongly believe keeps me from dying lol 🤣 (just to add not because it's bad, it's because my diet sucks and if I added drink on top I'd be screwed)

I just have a Huel meal replacement drink for lunch or whenever I fancy it, they are a little thicker than usual shakes so surprisingly filling 👍

If I wasn't on the jab that wouldn't even touch the side

Must be something I consider as part of the plan for a simple lunch

Had my porridge just now, don't feel stuffed but don't feel like I want to eat anything else

However massive pinch of salt this is all new , there is most likely a placebo effect going on ATM

Be interested to see what week 3 brings

Must restart my breakfast routine…Overnight cold soaked porridge oats (milk and Kefir) with chia seeds added. Might go back to adding some fruit in the morning as I got to squirting on loads of honey - and I’ll stop with that.

Very early days I'm sure to judge but even a placebo effect is a good start.

Not been well lately and given up alcohol as it's not good with the meds I'm taking, not had an alcohol drink for six months now.
I've lost around two stones and feel so much better for it but I've not been exercising more.
