Great idea for a thread. 7 weeks in and I have lost 6kg.

NSV: New pants, fit into 2020 jeans, have thrown out all my baggy clothes, people commenting on weight loss, feel SO much more confident for upcoming holiday, have had very very minimal alcohol, skin is looking really clear and fresh (water and regular vits I think), loving the gym again, sleeping better, more energy to do things

ToriMJ · 10/08/2024 16:43

Amazing! Yes the water and the clear skin I can relate too.
Pre covid jeans!! This is a goal to many!
Well done you Flowers

Good thread!

I've worked up the doses with 5 weeks on each but have just started my second month of 10mg which seems to be working well for me.
Probably got another 1.5-2 stone to lose so aiming to be done by Christmas, taking it a steady pace.

Main NSV is how amazing I feel! Balanced, happy and far less anxious. I'd like to be on a low dose for life for the mood effects. Also drinking far less alcohol. Obviously feeling better in myself and fitting into smaller clothes.

Mounjaro is life changing.

MuckyMessy · 10/08/2024 17:09

Hi everyone

Im currently on my third week of Mounjaro.

Height 5ft 6
starting weight 14st 4lbs
week 1 5lbs lost
week 2 8lbs lost

my BMI to start was 32.1 and is currently 30.2

Cerialkiller · 10/08/2024 17:10

Just finished week 14. 25lb down. Most of that was the first two months as I've been all over the place with my diet recently, plus been ill. (And because my self loathing is gone, my motivation is less)

I've gone from 14 stone to 12st 3. BMI 31 to 27ish. All my clothes fit again with room to spare. Had to buy size 12 jeans which are now on the baggy side. I'm dealing with the heat better. Happy to wear a swimsuit on holiday.

Only one comment from my aunt though which is odd..I think everyone is used to me yoyoing and are being polite but it's a big difference.

Snozzlemaid · 10/08/2024 17:19

Started on 29th May, now on second 5mg pen
Lost 31 lbs in those 10 weeks!
SW 18st 6lbs

Snozzlemaid · 10/08/2024 17:21

And BMI gone from 44 down to 39

Mumof1andacat · 10/08/2024 17:31

Excellent results, everyone. Nice to see some fellow short people losing. I'm 5 ft and have around 4 stone to lose. Weight has crept on in the last 6 years. For years, I was a size 12, and on a good day, a 10, but I have boobs and hips to contend with, and even at 8.5 stone, I could still fill a d cup. I have this week off work. I can do my research on where to purchase an injection from. Looking for a fuss free option

I have been using Voy and found the whole package they offer really good. I have a discount code if you would like it.
my first order was a Tuesday afternoon and by the Thursday afternoon I had my order and completed my first injection.

Buffypaws · 10/08/2024 17:48

5 foot 3 start weight in Jan 12 stone 2
(was on Wegovy until February and Mounjaro happened)
Current weight is 9 stone 6.5 - BMI 3.5. just finished my last 12.5 dose. Very slow weight loss until half a stone on break up diet last two weeks. Now having to live alone so can’t afford to carry on but have 2 x 15 dose pens left so will see how it goes

Eminybob · 10/08/2024 17:52

I've been on mounjaro since the end of April. Currently on 10mg, shortly going up to 12.5

SW 15 St 11lb BMI 37
CW 12 St 8.8lb 30.3
GW 10 St

Loss 3 St 2.2lb
To go 2 St 8.8lb

NSV my engagement ring fits again! Not worn it in years. And I can enter the lift at work with wall to wall mirrors without having to avert my gaze from my reflection. Tons more confidence.

That is excellent work! Can I ask how many calories a day you are eating for that loss please?
My dimensions are not far off yours so would be a helpful comparison if you don’t mind sharing.

Ifyouinsistthen · 10/08/2024 17:55

Well done everyone!! I started at 89kg in June on 0.25mg Ozempic. Took 3 weeks off in July as I couldn’t get my next dose. Started again Monday this week and I’m at 81kg. I’ve sort of plateaued at 81kg minimum over the past month which is frustrating but encouraging as it means when I stop I hopefully keep most of the weight off. Starting tomorrow I’ll be incorporating some exercise which I hope will help me break this plateau.

thehousewiththesagegreensofa · 10/08/2024 18:44

Started mid-April
Week 1 and week 6 I lost 2 lbs. Otherwise, I have lost 1lb a week or stayed the same so I qualify as one of the slowest losers on the long running MJ threads. Nonetheless, my BMI has gone from 30 to 25.9 and I am currently on holiday and feeling a lot happier with my weight than I did this time last year. By this, I don't just mean my appearance but side effects such as it being much easier to reach my toes to paint my toe nails and have significantly less chub rub.

Great thread. I have MN to thank for going on Mounjaro. Monday will be the start of week 6 for me. 26 pounds down. BMI was 29.4 and is now 24.9.

Tried on all my old size 12 denim shorts yesterday and they fit with ease.

Not calorie counting, just eating when I remember to. Still drinking alcohol too.

Have just hit my three stone loss (and half way point) in a little over three months.
One month 2.5mg
One month 5mg
One month 7.5mg and will be starting my second 7.5mg pen next week

Starting BMI: 39.6
Current BMI:32.5
Target BMI: 25.4 (what an outdated model!)

Summerhillsquare · 10/08/2024 20:29

A very steady kilo a week so far, 4 weeks in. The main thing is I just can't get carbs down me 😆 and have a box of the world's best chocolates that hold no particular appeal. So odd!

I don't look any different but trousers much more comfy which is a joy. 5mg starts next week so I wonder what that will do.

hoarahloux · 10/08/2024 20:32

7 weeks in, from 220lb to 203. This stuff is magic.

I'm 5.6 and was just in the obese category when i started. Just took the bonus 10mg.

Great thread, so good to see everyone's success.

Shibr · 10/08/2024 20:43

Is anyone on Wegovy? I started my second low dose today and wondering whether to quit and go on Mounjaro?
