Stephen Story

Updated: 19th March 2025

I’m Stephen, a hair stylist based in Hampshire. Earlier this year, I decided to try Voy. I was prescribed Mounjaro, a medication that helps to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels to support weight loss.Since then, I’ve achieved something I never thought possible: I’ve lost over 20% of my body weight! It’s been an incredible experience, and I’m still on this journey. I want to share my experience, from the wins to the tougher moments, so you can see what it’s really like to use Voy and decide if it could be the right solution for you.

As a teenager, I was always overweight. I come from a big family with lots of cousins, and get-togethers were always centred around food – whether that was BBQs or picnics or big Christmas dinners. It was great, don’t get me wrong, but this definitely contributed to my weight issues.

And then the naughties hit, and we were thrust into an era where body shaming and fad diets were rife. I got sucked into the hype of trying every diet under the sun and quickly lost a lot of weight in an unhealthy way.

Then, once I felt comfortable in my skin, I became less obsessive about exercise and less restrictive dieting, and started to get bigger again. This is how I found myself stuck in a cycle of persistent weight loss and regain. It’s been nearly a decade since I felt happy about my body, and I knew something had to change.

The turning point

I’d been carrying this weight – literally and emotionally – for way too long. It was really dragging me down. I felt heavy, awkward and nothing ever fit right.

In the gay community, there can be so much focus on appearance and looking a certain way. It’s hard not to feel judged sometimes, especially if you don’t fit the mold, so to speak.

I love travelling, but I’ll never forget being on holiday, squeezing into the aeroplane seatbelt and just feeling so uncomfortable. That was my wake-up call.

I’d tried so many things before to lose weight and failed every time. I was at my wits' end and desperate for something that actually worked. I needed something sustainable and personalised; something I could trust.

Choosing Voy was my best decision yet

When I found Voy, it felt like a lifeline. I read the reviews, which were overwhelmingly positive, and thought, “why not give it a go?”

It’s more than just a medicated weight loss programme – it comes with a dedicated coach who checks in with you, helps set realistic goals and keeps you on track. It felt like a complete package, rather than just a quick fix. With Voy, it’s not just about losing weight, it’s about building habits that last so the weight stays off for good. That’s the best thing about it.

Mounjaro weight loss journey so far

Two weeks in

The first few weeks went pretty smoothly. I had no real side effects, apart from a little cramping when I overdid it with food. I reached out to my clinician and she was amazing – super quick to respond and really reassuring. I felt less bloated, more comfortable in my clothes and just better in my own skin.

One month in

One month into my Voy journey, and I couldn’t believe how well things were going. I’d already dropped a clothing size and moved down a notch on my belt (that felt amazing).

Seeing the changes in the mirror and hearing people comment on the difference was such a boost. Mounjaro really helped curb my cravings, making it easier to stay on track with portion sizes. Being a hairstylist, I’m on my feet all day and moving around was starting to feel so much easier!

With other diets, I’d never really been able to track my progress easily, but with Voy’s tracking tool, everything clicked. I loved watching my progress in real-time, and setting a goal to actually see how close I was to hitting it was everything. It kept me motivated, excited and totally focused on where I was heading.

Three months in

By this point, I'd lost more than 7% of my body weight. I was going away on a trip to Europe and it was lovely being able to pick out some new clothes a size down. It was really reassuring to see that the weight loss method that I'd chosen was finally showing results consistently over time.

However, I was also noticing a slight plateau around the time. However, I was also noticing a slight plateau around the time. I remember getting in touch with my coach and she said that it's perfectly normal to plateau, which motivated me to carry on and not feel discouraged by it. After all, a plateau is still progress.

Four months in

At the four-month mark, I felt on top of the world. I’d lost 8% of my body weight, and the frustrating plateau I hit earlier? That was a thing of the past. My progress was back on track, and I was genuinely so proud of myself.

It’s easy to overlook how much effort goes into a programme like this – the mindset shifts, the work with your coach and the constant commitment to yourself and reminder as to why you’re doing this. But seeing that effort translate into real results was such a relief, and it suddenly all felt worth it.

Six months in

I’d been using Voy for six months at this point, and I was so excited for what’s to come! The goals I set were personal: they’re my goals for my life. I went into this programme convinced that Voy would be my last resort before taking more drastic measures, and it was really looking promising.

What kept me motivated at this stage was tracking my progress and celebrating the little wins. Mounjaro continued to support my weight loss, making it easier to focus on healthier habits. Those everyday moments when I felt healthier, more energised or just more confident, like being able to do the gardening without getting out of breath.

Coaching

“I love how motivational and encouraging my coach is. Going through a weight loss journey can be quite personal, so you want some

empathetic.”

How wedding dress model Amy lost 22kg using Voy

"Since I started using weight loss medications with Voy, I’ve achieved some things that seemed near impossible a few years ago."

Amy Jones, 40, from Macclesfield, is a prime example of how life can change in unexpected ways. What began as a simple bridal dress shopping trip led to a life-altering experience with her being asked to shoot some photos for the brand, and eventually, a career as a plus-size model.

Despite feeling confident in her job, portion control and exercise soon fell by the wayside, and Amy began to feel heavy and lethargic. She has been taking Wegovy with Voy for nearly a year now. In that time she’s lost an incredible 22kg – and she’s here to tell us how.

A great service.
The coaching is informative and supportive Voy was amazing to start my mounjaro journey, the peace of mind having a clinician on hand to answer any questions I had was priceless.

Having used another GLP1 provider previously I am blown away by the huge difference in support and availability of tools to help my journey since I joined Voy. I couldn’t be more impressed or more confident that I have made a great choice.

Thought the juices tasted so horrible made me feel sick. Had a terrible headache from it and ended up eating by 1pm as felt faint nausea and sick would never have them again. Ended up throwing 3 out of 5 away.
