Mounjaro thread for >6/40kg+ stone weight loss September 2024

[ThisAmberJoker]

Hi guys,

I thought it might be useful to start a new thread on this as the ones I have found are from quite a few months ago and building a new little supportive community thread might be helpful for some including me!

I am 5'4" and starting weight was 106kg (I am so sorry - I use both stone/lbs and kilos so might spot me talking using both measures!) and I am nearly 5 weeks into my journey using Mounjaro and just weighed at 94.7kg and currently on 2.5mg and continuing for the second pen as really have high appetite suppression and struggling to maintain calorie intake somewhat. I would love to hear some other people's experiences!

Hi, I had over 6 stone to lose when I started at the end of May. I was 18st 6lbs, so 117kg.

I'm now on 7.5mg and have lost 3.5 stone.
CW 14st 13lbs, 94.kg

I don't have a definite goal in mind. For now I'm just going with it and I'll stop when I'm a healthy weight again.
If I think too much about having another 4 stone or more to lose, it feels too big a mountain to climb, so I just focus on each week at a time and enjoy the numbers on the scales going down and down.

I just started two weeks ago. 5 ft 8 in.

Start weight was 272lbs. Goal weight is 175lbs, so the best part of 100lbs to lose / just shy of 7 stone. Down about 8lbs so far.

But any loss has got to help me feel better and be healthier, so I am trying not to focus too much on the goal.

Hi guys, I started at 106.6kg 10 weeks ago.

I'm now 92.1kg and on 7.5mg. This drug has changed my life.

Side effects on the 7.5mg have been brutal. Just been awake all night with stomach cramps and nausea.

I’m 5’3” and started on June 24th at 235lbs, BMI 41.6 (I count this as my “starting weight” even though I actually took my first injection on the 28th, because this is the day I started to make a real effort).

As of this morning I’m 188lbs, BMI 33.3. I’ve lost 47lbs in just over 14 weeks.

My goal was originally 135lbs because it’s in the normal BMI range and I thought a nice even 100lbs would be great, but to be honest I’m thinking I’ll probably be happy, and find it easier to maintain, somewhere around 145-150lbs, which would be a BMI of around 26-28.

I did four weeks on 2.5mg and I’m now on my tenth week of 5mg. Barely any side-effects, nothing really worth mentioning.

Wow guys! Those are amazing starts to the journeys. When did you find people started to notice? My clothes feel like they fit the same and no one has noticed at all yet!

Hi, I just started 2 weeks ago at 100kg and 5ft 2, now 97kg. Hoping to be around 60kg at my goal weight.

I'm presently dithering over going up to 5mg or staying at 2.5, as I'm finding the lower dose seems to be helping me so far, and I get some nausea in the days after the dose - not looking forward to that increasing.

Good to meet you all and best wishes with it.

I'm due start as soon as my first pen arrives! Starting weight 16 stone 2/226lb/102.5kg
I'm just under 5'4. Feeling mildly terrified.

Hi all, I did my first injection today! SW 115kg. I don’t have a GW in mind, getting to pre-preg weight of 95kg would be an amazing step but am keen to get lower but don’t want to feel too overwhelmed by the journey ahead!! Best wishes to everyone and thank you for the group :)

Hi! I'm doing my first injection tomorrow. Ideally I'd like to lose 8 or 9 stone. Excited to get started!

I didn't get any comments until I'd lost 3 stone.
I'm still wearing some of the same clothes but have had to ditch some that are too big now. I've also found a lot in my wardrobe that I'd not worn for years, or ever, that now fit. It's like shopping in my own wardrobe some mornings.

Hi all!
I started on 14th August 24, weighed 20st 3lbs. My last weigh in on 30th Sept I was 18st 9.2lbs. Goal weight is about 12 stone.
I had no nasty side effects on 2.5mg, did 2 weeks on 5mg but this week I have reduced down to 3.75mg as the nausea on 5mg was getting on my nerves!
I am still getting good suppression, I can eat my meals comfortably but have no food noise trying to drag me off track. I would love to stay on the lowest doses possible for as long as possible.

Ive just hit 2 stone loss.. 18.6 down to 16.6 but im tall.. 5ft10 no comments yet. but then ive only been in work and wear all black.. i reckon 3 stone will start the noticing!

kinda like no comments at the moment though as ive not told people im taking it..

Celebrating a 50 lb loss here today.
I never thought I'd see this weight again.

It's great to hear - very inspiring. I'm only on week two and have lost 5kg so far, think that is about half a stone.

I'm feeling really unsure about going up to more than 2.5, as getting some nausea with it and suppression is working for now. I have ordered another 2.5 for the next month anyway. Will see how it goes. I'm with Voy, they seemed happy about me continuing with it at the lower dose.

Sounds like the right decision for you @Orangesandlemons77

So are most of you calorie counting or not? I'm not, I'm more into intuitive eating (not baking anything, eating until feeling full) which seems to go well with the mounjaro as feel full a lot quicker!

I'm not eating that much, but then I do have some health problems and don't exercise much so I guess my daily expenditure must be low as well. I was going to go for a walk today as it is quite sunny out, but waiting in for a pen delivery ironically, so I can't!

Anyway today I have had so far

Breakfast- a Tribe protein flapjack - think about 225 cals
Lunch- a hot chocolate drink made with pea milk (sounds horrible but actually nice) which was a spoon of cacao, teaspoon of sugar and the milk)- guess about 200 cals?

Will try and have an omelette or something for dinner.

*baking- that was meant to say 'banning'

@Orangesandlemons77 5kg is 11lb so not far off a stone!

That's good

It's amazing!

For th9se planking to do 3.75 which is my plan how do you know what that is on 5mg pen? Assume 1 is full dose? Such a novice!.
I'm on 2nd week got about 7 stone to lose very scary but hoping to break down week by week and measuring monthly for small goals

45 clicks on a 5mg pen will give you 3.75mg.

Thank you

I am just starting out, got my first pen today but I'm currently on antibiotics for a chest infection so planning to wait until Sunday to begin. Not sure what to expect at all, would be very grateful for any tips or advice? Very positive results on this thread so far, it's great to hear its making a difference to so many of you.
