Just had a message through to say there's an embargo and we'll all hopefully know more next week.
Lilly have been at a conference all week and have discussed the drama.
So stay tuned..
Personally I'm done with all this stress and I'm looking forward to hopefully getting accepted onto a clinical study so I avoid all this stress in future.

I don't know how many other people are in my position where they stopped losing weight on mounjaro.
This study is planning to add something else to help with the weight loss. I've looked at clinical trials before but I didn't want to come off mounjaro.
I'm excited, hopefully this will help someone else too.
So we know that big pharmacies were offered a deal on bundles.
Medicine marketplace went very very public with it.
P2u have new prices, but all the other big pharmacies are being quiet, or saying that MMP are spreading misinformation (???)
I like things to be transparent.
I do not like lilly agreeing an NDA for a 14% discount for certain pharmacies to go live on the anniversary of the massive price increase they forced on everyone.
I know Novo are up to the same tricks too, you can tell when you talk to pharmacies and a small pharmacy is paying £175 for 2.4 and Medicine marketplace are selling 2.4 for £135, and a few other pharmacies are just massively promoting wegovy as the best way to save money (because it has better profit margins for them)

It's medicine marketplace: https://www.medicinemarketplace.com/product-category/medical-treatments/weight-management/injectable-weight-loss/
There is a discount code for first month but you'll have to find that yourself.
Please share what you're wearing today.
I've had these boots over 10 years. Walked miles and miles in them. Scarpa rangers.
They got a bit tight at some point and I stopped wearing them but I kept them on my shoe rack by the front door the whole time.
Had to dress for muddy weather this weekend and they fit!!
Also wearing Montane terra trousers, bought them in a lighter shade because the black ones got too hot in the heatwave. They are amazing!

Prices the pharmacies will pay.
This is after the rebate.
0.8mg = £73.25
2.5mg = £73.25
5.5mg = £73.25
9mg = £91.96
14.5mg = £120
17.2mg = £120
I think 17.2 is the therapeutic dose, the others are for titrating.
In the clinical study when people switched from mounjaro or wegovy they switched to 12mg capsules which is equivalent to 9mg tablets. They then titrated up to the max dose.

To be honest I've found this sub a bit negative.
I've been this shape for 20 years. When I was in uni I learned about peripheral obesity in lectures and was told it's not that bad compared to central obesity.
I'm on mounjaro. I love mounjaro. I will hyperfocus and tell you anything and everything about mounjaro. I lost 18kg in the first 6 months and then the weight loss stopped a year ago, but I feel ok. I am just so glad to not be gaining weight any more.
I have seen people mention lipoedema inflammation and to be honest I completely forgot that I used to get that.
I have been this weight for a year but recently I lift my arms up and feel they are a bit thinner. I look in the mirror after a shower and my legs feel thinner. I don't know if mounjaro is slowly chipping away at the lipoedema.
Just to say don't go on lipo websites and let them tell you it's this horrible disorder that you're cursed with and have to pay $10,000 to have treated with liposuction. I think the whole "trapped fat" thing that you can do nothing about is just trying to scare you.
I know our generation have been left untreated but I'm hopeful that future generations will have access to cheap GLPs and avoid progressing through the different stages of lipoedema.
It's really hot in the UK today so I'm going to put these shorts on and enjoy the paddling pool completely unashamed of my legs.
There was a clinical study where people moved from wegovy or mounjaro for maintenance, they didn't start people at the lowest dose, the doses are 0.8 mg, 2.5 mg, 5.5 mg, 9 mg, 14.5 mg, and 17.2 mg.
This is the paper about switching for maintenance: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-026-04386-7#MOESM3
