Ill keep this short and sweet as I can.Only thing im worried about is the cluster of freckles I have on my upper arms and shoulders and the few moles scattered around my body.........You see from my pictures I am a true type one never had any colour in my life except for red!!Pretty depressing but heres for hoping this melanotan-1 works for me!!
 
Equipment im using:
BD ULTRA FINE 8MM NEEDLES 31G 1CC
40MG melanotan-1(sourced 20mg from one supplier and 20mg from another)
bacteriostatic water(30ml)
BD alcohol wipes
 
Methods used:
Injected 2 full(1cc/1ml) syringes into 10mg of melanotan-1 which gives me 20 units=1mg 10 units=0.5mg 0.5 units=0.25mg  SOMEBODY PLEASE CORRECT ME IF MY MEASUREMENTS ARE WRONG
 
Pre loaded 15 syringes with 0.25 mg and 12 syringes with 0.5mg = 9.75 mg(0.75mg loss)   set aside first 0.25mg for injection and froze the rest
 
12/10/11:0.25MG
 
Ok so i done my first injection about 2 hours ago honestly it took me about half an hour of holding the needle over injection site(right ass cheek)
before i got the courage to jab it in and after i did i laughed at myself felt nothing at all slight stinging for 5 mins after injection followed by a little red raised lump which disappeared after an hour piece of cake looking forward to my next one now!!
 
Ok heres my plan for those who want to know.I plan on starting first 15 days on 0.25 mg a day next 12 days on 0.5mg and if ive had no crazy moles or freckles darkening by then ill gradually increase my dosage.I realise my dosage is very low for melanotan-1 but im willing to be patient its approaching winter here now so ill preload until about 30mg then hit the beds.Besides ive been a ghost all my life a few more weeks wont hurt.
 
Another thing i should mention is ive been loading on vitamin D3 6 (1000IU) tablets per day the past 2 months I will continue doing this through out my melanotan-1 course.Also today I started taking 1000mg vitamin esther C and 2 tablespoons of Pure Colloidal Minerals( http://www.iherb.com/Buried-Treasure-70-Plant-Derived-Minerals-Pure-Colloidal-Mi nerals-32-fl-oz-946-ml/18927?at=0)
 
Somebody please make sure my measurements are correct.Any comments/suggestions feel free to get involved.

Hey buddy, congratulations on getting started. I remember my first injection too! Scary times!
 
Measurements all look correct to me. Can't wait to see your progress.
 
Word on the street is that you're heading off to Australia.....You're going to get soooooo brown.
 
Keep us all updated.

Hey Bob,
 
So glad to see a log from you. I see you got passed your fear of needles.  
 
I really hope it works for you!! It's been life changing for me.
 
By the way, the air bubbles are fine. Sometimes I'll flick the syringe until the bubbles rise to the top and slowly push the air out of the syringe before injecting.

1. Tiny bubbles are not a problem(in fact, they are hard to avoid), but you can still get rid of them before injecting by carefully pushing the plunger with the needle pointing up in the air.
2. Even when injecting into veins, the amount of air in a syringe is not enough to cause a fatal air embolism. This only works in movies.

thanks everybody for clearing up the air bubble situation for me I didnt think it would be lethal only in the movies i guess  
 
Cees the reason I am mega dosing on vitamin D3 is because I read somewhere on these forums that it can prevent hyperpigmentation so I guess im just taking it as a precaution who knows if it actually does or not but its a cheap vitamin so why not.
 
Day 5 and 1.25mg in.Nothing new to report injection in the butt is virtually painless  
 
I was requested to take a picture of my facial hair to monitor if it darkens on melanotan-1 ive done this and will post before and after shots when theres a change.

Some of my moles have darkened and new moles/freckles have appeared however they are tiny i think the biggest one on my jawline is 3mm in diameter its the only one that has appeared on my face the rest are mainly on my hands and arms nothing to be worried about yet they really are tiny and theres not many of them

Ok so ive missed alot of injections due to waiting on bac water to arrive and been away over the weekend.
After the 6min sunbed i woke up the next morning with sun burn however it was weird because it was only on my stomach and legs and there was no pain at all it faded very quickly with no peeling.I know have visible lines where my boxers are however they look more of a red colour than brown.....
So im thinking of upping my dose too 2mg a day i dont know if this is a good idea or not??I was gonna inject 1mg in the morning and 1mg at night.anyone think this is a good idea or should i just stick too 1mg a day?
