Mounjaro

[Belladonna432]

hello I know there are a few threads in here in for this but would like to start a new thread, for people starting out!!

I have stage 4 endometriosis and have been slowly gaining weight over past few years. Have tried so many things to shift it, calorie counting, exercise, high protein, low carbs and I loose a few pounds but that’s it!

just taken my first dose of mounjaro and really hoping that it works for me!

anyone else just starting??? Anyone got any great motivation for those starting!!

First week of 5mg, have lost 18lbs so far. Feel amazing. Heartburn like crazy, glugging the gaviscon!!

Hi all,

Taking my 3rd 2.5 tomorrow. First week had zero effect other than making me very conscious of what I was eating - lost 2lbs, this week I've had more nausea and being put off if I smell some foods, I'm eating regularly but a bowl of soup will keep me going all day now.
It's TOTM at the moment and I have 10+days bleeding due to endometriosis and PCOS so I was not expecting to lose anything this week, but a sneaky peak this morning shows a 2.5lb loss so by the time I weigh in officially tomorrow it may be 3lbs!
I know it's not the big losses a lot of others have had but I'm pleased, before trying this I could diet strictly and work out and struggle to lose a 1lb over a month.

I’m sure you will do well, just read through some of the stories and advise, it’s well worth sitting down and taking some to look at the success.
You’ll smash it!

Hi everyone, my pen came this afternoon and I am so excited. I just wanted to know if anyone takes it at night and if they take it after a big dinner 🫣.

I was dithering about ordering it but I've lost 1st 10lbs since January just by eating better and exercising but it's slowed right down and I've realised I'm just constantly thinking about food. It takes over my life. I can't go anywhere without wondering when or how or what to eat... so figured this might be a great help to me. I also have my first ever run coming up at the end of the month and I've been training so hard. Would be amazing if I could lose a few more pounds before then to help me feel lighter on my feet.

I'm just trying to figure out the best day of the week to take it... does it suppress your appetite straight away? As we've just had dinner and I'm wondering if I can still take it tonight and if I do should I expect you to feel hungry again by next Friday...? Sorry might seem like a really obvious question but I looked in the box and it just said same day and time each week.. so trying to find the best day. If there even is one?

Very excited and can't wait to get started. Goodluck to everyone else on it too 😊

I do mine at night. I guessed I might sleep through any immediate side effects lol

@Sassenach85 this is exactly what I was thinking too 😅

I’ve done mine at various times of the day and haven’t noticed any difference, but I do try and do it after I’ve eaten - not sure why really.

19.7lbs is amazing well done!! I only lost 5lbs month one, but that did include a ten day all inclusive holiday so although it wasn't a great loss it was good considering. I've lost three pounds already since Friday and I've dropped down from obese to overweight on the bmi for the first time in years!

@HorsingAround2022 that’s amazing! That really will be my first biggest achievement as I have a lot to lose, finally just being classed as overweight 😂 but I have a while to go yet. I lost a little bit before MJ so that’s my total loss since beginning of april, so pretty much 2 months in total

@GreyFinch I was so happy to get to 29.5 instead of 30 😂😂 I'm just hoping I don't go up tomorrow and back into obese!

I have been injecting since end of March, nearly lost two stone now. It has been life changing for me! No cravings and reduced appetite!

I have a Voy code if anyone needs 50% off.

That’s exciting, I’m sure it will help! I take mine in the evening and can usually feel the side effects kicking in by the next day.

I have actually been struggling to exercise since being on it, well cardio wise. I Have been swimming and walking lots but I struggle to eat enough to fuel a run or intensive cardio.
fingers crossed you can get enough food down you to keep your training tip top! Good luck. Keep us updated!!!

Week three. Weight seems to not want to move this week despite having had a really active few days (and denying myself any wine or cocktails at a function and sticking to low cal, alco-free drinks!).

I must have done more than 30k steps on Saturday, similar on Sunday and a cardio class at the gym yesterday.

Any advice?

Week two for me , lost exactly 5kg in first week but still have an appetite and snacky tendency for me it’s just easier to silence the food noise and make healthier choices when I eat

I've been on it 10 weeks or so now and have lost 17lb

The weight is slowly going....just wish it had been a little faster!

That is still great loss in that time!! Well done. What dosage are you on now.

im on 7.5 and just reordered 7.5 again as feel like im not really eating enough on it and definitely don’t want to be eating less than I am currently

I'm on 7.5mg but no more weight lost sadly although I'm eating nowhere near what I normally would eat.
I'm hoping when I step up to 10mg the weight will start coming off again!

Hi hope you can help me, new to this!
2.5mg arrived today if I were to start tonight
i would have 4 weekly doses my final one being on 18th July. I go on holiday from 22 July - 5th Aug (long haul) so can’t bring with me as cant refrigerate for too long. What do I do…do 4 weeks, break for 2 weeks then carry on or wait till after I’m back home on 5th August to start? Any advice gratefully received!

How much did you have to lose when you started?
I've roughly six stone to lose and would love to lose 2 stone before a wedding in 8 weeks.

I had around 4 stone to loose at the start, I've lost nearly 3 stone now! I reckon you could definitely loose a good amount in 8 weeks! I went to a wedding yesterday and had so many people compliment my weight loss which was lovely ☺️

If you need a voy code mine is joinvoy.com/r/U-N1yFPj01Jt for 50% off.

I would do the 4 weeks and then break for two weeks. This unintentionally happened to me, I was injecting for a few weeks before the holiday, went away for one week but ended up away for two weeks as we got stuck abroad ( didn't have my pen with me). Ended up with two weeks off and just injected when I got back. My appetite stayed pretty much suppressed the whole time that I was away, I was able to enjoy food without going over the top. Didn't gain any weight even though I was away eating three meals a day and drinking some alcoholic drinks for two weeks. First time ever that has happened on holiday!

Hi everyone,

I have been on Mounjaro for two months first moment 2.5mg and second month 5mg. A day after I take the injection I am severely vomiting with awful stomach cramps and this has been the case since I started. It eases off after day 3 and fine until my next jab which I am now starting to dread. I don't think I can continue. I will be speaking with my subscriber soon but they weren't much help last time I raised this. Do you think this is not right for me or it will pass? (Wishful thinking) Thankyou

Hi everyone, loving reading all comments and successes. I am on 5mg week 2, I am finding this week that on day 3/4 I am craving sweet treats, has anyone had any experience of this? Should I take my next injection a little earlier?
