Weight loss jabs

Damn I used to have Vitality insurance through my last job. Never mind I can usually get 20% off through price matching or referrals.

Changed jab location from gut to thigh and although I had absolutely no side effects I don’t think it’s as effective at suppressing the appetite.

Yes to all this. Adopting healthy, sustainable habits. Positive attitude. Getting outdoors (this also helps with mental health).
I’ve gained a bit lately but I’m not losing my mind, happens this time every winter. Harder to get my steps in due to weather and craving fat and carbs (again due to weather). 2-3 weeks back on diet and I’ll be in fighting trim.

I too found this, now alternate between left and right under gut flab.
I also found that as a fat fuck, every day is leg day so under a thin veneer of lard my thighs are like tree trunks, I suspect that intramuscular and subcutaneous are not the same for mounjaro

How often do you need to inject?

weekly

Lightweights (sic) :grinning:

5 x per day here at the moment :slightly_frowning_face:

Be careful out there

That’s enough for me, don’t fancy getting pregnant.

I just don’t have the hips for the job

Trump wants to say “cheapest meds here” so the rest of the world will have to fill Eli Lilly’s coffers.

Off to the dark web I go for that 5% mounjaro 20% meth, 75% saline(if I’m lucky) counterfeit :rofl:

Or find yourself a hard-up chemistry graduate student. It does look a bit fiddly TBH

(one Michael D Turnbull has asked to be recognised for drawing this)

but in the end chemistry is just cookery with occasional explosions.

I’d have thought the Chinese would have cooked up their own version by now? :wink:

If the price rise is that egregious then hopefully more people might turn to a professional dietician instead and save money (and weight) over the long term.

They probably have, but perhaps they’re saving it for the next time Trump tries to threaten them with tariffs, as with DeepSeek :laughing:.

With a molecule that big surely there’s a hydrogen somewhere that they could methylate without making any functional difference but which would allow them to dodge Eli Lilly’s patent. The cost of re-doing the clinical trials might be significant but that hasn’t stopped big pharma when it’s wanted to ‘rejuvenate’ a drug which is close to end-of-patent (see Lucentis vs Avastin). And anyway, for the Chinese it isn’t really about the money …
