Right this will be my 5th summer of injecting. I used melanotan-1 in 2007 (40mg altogether) and 2008 (50mg)

I then used melanotan-1 in 2009 (about 90mg altogether) and 2010 (about 50mg altogether)

I have some melanotan-1 still in the freezer from last year which I will use to begin with and I have ordered some new bac water and will start dosing once this arrives. My plan is to do the same as I have for the last two years. A low dosage (0.5mg twice a day) leading up to the summer, and maybe step it up a bit once I start to get a bit more sun.
 
I still have colour from last year, despite having no melanotan or sun for about 8 months (perhaps my natural colour has changed slightly and I'll never go back to being as pale as I was).
 
I'll take some pictures in the next few days before I start injecting.
 
Good to be back. Talk to you all soon.
 

Cheers Jac.
 
Right started up yesterday
 
15/3 - 0.5mg x 2 = 1mg total
16/3 - 0.5mg x 2 = 2mg total
17/3 - 0.5mg x 3 = 3.5 mg total
 

Right, as promised, here's my before picture. It was taken on the 17 march so I was just a couple of mg in at that stage.
 
Believe it or not this is actually a fair amount darker than my "natural" colour as I have never quite gone back to my original total whiteness since beginning using melanotan a few years back. Take a look at my first melanotan II diary to see what my very first progress picture was like. It's pretty bad.
 
I've taken it without a flash and tried to get it in daylight as this gives a more valid picture of skin colour.
 

28/3 - 0.75 x 2 = 18.25mg total  
29/3 - 0.75 x 3 = 20.5mg total  
30/3 - 0.75 x 2 = 22mg total
 
Went for a sunbed session tonight, did 6 mins.

Hi Pedro
 
I'm out here and reading your blog!!! But i know what you mean - it does appear very quite on this board.
 
I have read all of your bogs and it was actually your blog that gave me the final push to get me started on melanotan-1. I cant believe you were a type 1 with red hair - your tan looks amazing!!
 
I have been taking for nearly 3 months and I am nearly 50mg in. I haven't got any UV yet - I wanted to make sure I had enough melanotan-1 in me before i went on a sunbed. I am a true type 1 - never tanned + lots of freckles.
 
I am thinking I will go on a sunbed on Friday so fingers crossed I don't come out a tomato!
 
I just have a couple of questions...At what stage do you go into maintenance and what will maintenance entail for you? ie injecting once or twice a week? and injecting how much?
 
Also when you get UV now - do you get freckles or do you just go brown? In the past if i were to go out in the sun without suncream I would just get freckles and I am interested to know if this will still be the case or if i will just go brown.
 
Thank you and great log!!

Cheers Held. It's not my actual name. Can't even remember why I picked it originally!
 
3/4 - 0.75 x 2 = 28mg total
4/4 - 0.75 x 1 = 28.75mg total
5/4 - 0.75 x 2 = 30.25mg total
6/4 - 0.75 x 1 = 31mg total
7/4 - 0.75 x 1 = 31.75mg total
8/4 - 0.5 x 3 = 33.25mg total
 
Managed to get about 45 mins of half decent real sun today!
 
Tomorrow is supposed to be nice and sunny in the UK so hopefully I'll be able to get even more.

nice results man, could you pm me where you bought your melanotan-1 from?
 
many thanks

I get my melanotan-1 direct from a lab. It's quality and a great price.

19/4 0.75 x 2 = 43.5mg total
20/4 - 0.75 x 2 = 45mg total
21/4 - 0.75 x 1 = 45.75mg total
22/4 - 0.75 x 1 = 46.5mg total
23/4 - 0.75 x 1 = 47.25mg total
25/4 - 0.75 x 1 = 48mg total
 
We've had amazing sunshine in the UK over the last week and I've been off work so have been sunbathing for a few hours every day.
 
I'm now officially VERY tanned which is amazing for April. One good thing is that lots of people have got very tanned so I'm not getting so many comments like "where have you been on holiday". It's amazing how much more attention and looks I get from women though!
 
Will get a new pic up in the next day or so.

Hey, new here but very interested in using melanotan, especially after the results you're having Pedro.
 
Am a type 1 based in UK, freckles on arms and top of back and strawberry blonde hair.  Generally only tend to burn, takes a lot of doing to tan just a little.  Any words of advice for a first time user?  Plus where do you recommend buying the melanotan, bacteriostatic water, insulin syringes and wipes (if possible from one source)?
