🌟 “This is the first time weight loss hasn’t felt like punishment.” 🌟

Shared by Simon from Tonbridge, aged 45

Simon from Tonbridge was tired of fad diets, cutting out food groups, and feeling restricted. After seeing friends succeed with weight loss pens, he decided it was time to try something different — and gave Wegovy a go through Happy Pharmacy. Six weeks later, he’s a stone lighter, sleeping better, and starting to feel like himself again.

“Fad diets were getting boring — and to be honest, they just didn’t make me feel good.”

A Different Way to Lose Weight

For Simon, starting a weight loss pen wasn’t about vanity — it was about freedom. He was tired of food rules and restrictions that left him feeling guilty and drained.

“I’d heard about weight loss pens before, but seeing friends transform really pushed me to try it. I didn’t want to cut out wine, bread, or all the things that make life enjoyable. I needed something realistic.”

With support from Happy Pharmacy’s medical team, Simon was prescribed Wegovy after a quick and easy online consultation. It was his first time using a self-injection — something that made him pause at first, but not for long.

“I was hesitant about injecting, but the needle is so fine you can’t even feel it. Honestly, it’s nothing to worry about.”

Real Results — Without Giving Things Up

“I’ve lost a stone in six weeks — and I haven’t had to give anything up.”

Simon was surprised by how quickly things changed. In the first two weeks, the weight dropped fast. After that, it slowed to a more sustainable pace — but still came off steadily.

“I feel fuller faster, I’m less inclined to overeat, and the portion sizes I used to think were normal now feel like too much.”

That sense of control made it easier to enjoy meals without spiralling into guilt — and even more rewarding when friends started noticing.

“People have commented, and that feels great. Plus, I go to bed earlier now, which means I’m less likely to snack late — win-win.”

Supported Every Step of the Way

“The team at Happy Pharmacy were excellent — really reassuring and supportive.”

Simon credits part of his positive experience to the follow-up care and communication with the pharmacy. Even when delivery issues cropped up, he felt looked after.

“Royal Mail missed my nominated delivery day, and I was worried about the pen and the ice packs. But Happy Pharmacy replied quickly and confirmed it would still be fine to use. It arrived the next day.”

That level of support made the experience feel less clinical — and more personal.

A Shift in Habits, Naturally

Simon had already started moving more before beginning Wegovy — but treatment gave him momentum.

“Since starting, I’ve been exercising even more. My diet hasn’t changed drastically, but my alcohol intake has halved, and portion sizes have come down naturally.”

These weren’t strict changes — they were the kind of gradual tweaks that build long-term success.

Advice to Others

“If you’re bored of cutting out everything that makes you happy, give it a go.”

Simon’s message is simple: don’t let fear of needles or misinformation hold you back.

“The needle’s so small you don’t feel it. And the pen gives you breathing room — the space to shift your habits without having to suffer through it.”

He’s hopeful that the appetite control and lifestyle changes will stick — long after the pen is gone.

Noticeable Impact, Beyond the Scales

“Some of my old clothes are starting to fit again. That’s a big deal.”

Six weeks in, the impact isn’t just visual — it’s practical, too. Less food waste. A smaller weekly shop. A knock-on effect for the whole household.

“I still have a long way to go, but I feel more motivated now than ever. I just want to be a slimmer, healthier version of myself — and that’s starting to feel possible.”
