I’m 53 and could do with losing 5 stone, but 3 would make me quite happy.
I heard a term last week when talking to a nurse, food noise. That is exactly what I get. I’ve tried all sorts of diets and as I get older they just don’t work for me. I need something that is going to take the noise away.
Also, my dh has just been diagnosed with gout, so this seems like a great opportunity to totally rethink our diet.
I’m actually very excited to get started.
I really appreciate this group being started, thank you!

Hi Sandra- taking those cravings away is key - one of my vices was wotsits- not even though about them and I know there’s a pack in the cupboard!

I work away from home a lot, and drive tons every day. I think this will help hugely in stopping me from just eating in the car.
When I’m away it can be difficult with what food to eat, it is easy to eat badly when your eating in a premier inn every night.

Thanks Babbymint for setting group up!

I have struggled with my weight since I had my daughter almost 21 years ago- before that I had been slim but then I was also very active too.

My issues had been mainly portion control, snacking and of course the dreaded drink on the weekend. Since starting with the injections, I find I don't drink as much alcohol, some weekends nothing. My snacking has greatly reduced and my portion sizes are also smaller.

I decided to go with Voy and I'm pleased so far. I've lost 2 stone so far, Ideally I would like to lose another 2 stone, I'm fairly tall at 5ft 8.

Best of luck everyone!

Travel insurance 🤔
The standard questions ask about conditions but for weight loss, the only one I can find is "obesity" - but that doesn't ask about weight loss meds.

Its not on my GP record ( Id not get it anyway at my BMI )

I was looking at changing to a cheaper provider but that wants GP details ... aaaah 😂🤣

I’ve no idea about travel insurance, I’m not away again until next July so I hope to be off the injections by then.

I get mine from MedExpress and I know they’ve informed my GP as she asked about them recently when I was speaking to her about something else.

Hi. Great thread. It’s my jab day today. Third jab of 2.5. Lost 1 stone 3lbs so far. Going well!

Same issue - off for a weekend in December and was getting travel insurance but no where to put this on as a med. I don’t expect to need it, but I’ve already heard that insurance companies will refuse any claim if mj not declared. I think I’m going to have to ring them.

If it's not on the GP record how on earth would anyone know. Id certainly not admit to it if I was taken ill.

Good point. I think some suppliers say they will let gps know - I went with zava and they advised me to download a form and forward it to gp ( but I haven’t as yet).
