Where are they getting it from? Im interested in it.
Loads of people ads on tiktok etc but never know what you're getting if anything from there
Mate of mine is using it - and selling it at the same time
Buys it online off some chap that's heavily been promoting it for a while

Just checking in for my weekly update.
Strange week.
Down from 14-13 to 14-11, with a step-up in strength of meds on Thursday.
Nausea on Thursday and today. A side effect to be expected during the transition.
Apart from that nothing significant to report.
Good luck and good health everyone.

Question as I'm curious. How do these pens affect your metabolism? If your appetite is being suppressed, you eat less and your metabolism drops accordingly. Does this not affect your weight loss also? Ie slows it down?
Bump for an answer if anyone has one.....

ChatGPT says -

I’m not a medic, but the way these GLP-1/GIP drugs (like Mounjaro) work is a bit different from just “eating less = slower metabolism.”

Appetite suppression: Yes, you eat less, but the body doesn’t instantly crash your metabolism in the same way it would with crash dieting.

Hormonal effect: The meds mimic natural gut hormones, which not only reduce appetite but also influence blood sugar regulation, digestion speed, and satiety signalling. That seems to help preserve weight loss momentum even with lower intake.

Metabolism: There is usually some slowing of metabolic rate as body weight comes down (that happens with any weight loss), but the drugs aren’t thought to dramatically suppress metabolism beyond that normal adjustment.

Why it still works: The main driver is sustained adherence — people can keep in a calorie deficit without the constant hunger battle, which is normally where metabolism + appetite push back hardest.

So in short: metabolism may dip a bit as you lose weight, but the medication’s mechanism helps offset that by making the reduced intake manageable over the long term.

Balance that with the extra energy you get from losing weight, less weight to carry, less weight being carried by your joints of knees and ankles.

Best, if you have any medical concerns, use the support available, and of course your GP.

A lot of Retatrutide doing the rounds in Burnley at the minute - lot of people seem to be taking these jabs as an alternative (Cheaper with potentially better results)
People are genuinely injecting themselves with something they’ve bought off a random bloke?

Christ, I know the governance around Mounjaro isn’t great with the online pharmacies, but at least you knew what you were getting.

Never said random bloke - the bloke they've got them off is very reputable in the gym/weight scene
Some people in Burnley are making fortunes off these skinny jabs - male and women

Wouldnt do it myself - they are getting the results they are after though
What the side effects will be, god knows. Each to their own

Surely its the same as buying off your local dealer for a weekend session - chemicals you have no clue about, yet millions do it

Don’t get me wrong, I sympathise with the people doing it. The price increase of Mounjaro was always going to force some people into cheaper alternatives but it’s absolutely frightening!
