Starting Mounjaro May 2024!

[StarsByThePocketful]

I’ve just been approved for 2.5mg, I went with Voy.
hoping to start by the end of the week!

Anyone else starting this month? ❤️

CW 84kg
GW 60kg

@Greentrilby Well done, I’m literally mirroring you - 2lb loss again at the end of third week bringing me to 10.5lbs. Pretty happy with that this week as I’ve been on my period feeling sluggish and still managed a tiny portion of chippy and drinks with buffet at a family event! Also ordering 5 but thinking of trying to use remains and titrate up To 3.75 for next week before doing the full 5 (if I can work the maths out between two pens that is!)

@ClonedSquare adjusted the jab a few days early - are you still trying to weigh Weds/Thurs?

@Greentrilby @evolute I've switched my weighing day to Monday as well, but let's be honest/ I'm weighing myself every day anyway! 😂 so I did jab 4 on Sunday evening, but as of today (the official 3 week mark!) I'm down 14lbs total.

Congrats guys, I can't believe how much we've all lost in such a short space of time!

A stone was my first target, so very happy. I'm not allowing myself to think of my final overall goals yet, my next goal is 25lbs more before my holiday at the end of September. Obviously won't keep losing at this rate, but only need just over a lb a week average to make it which feels possible.

@evolute @ClonedSquare well done both of you! A lb a week seems achievable cloned square. I haven’t set a goal weight but probably do need something to aim for.

Well done everyone. I love reading these threads.

Took my 1st dose on Monday morning.
Cant say I've noticed much appetite suppression and have been eating pretty normal sized meals.

I have been prioritising the protein however and am not snacking very much although I am definitely thinking about snacking! Not sure if that's the meds or me thinking I'm not wasting money on weight loss injections again after Ozempic last year!

Not weighed yet. Had decided to wait a full week but reading all the messages on the other thread about weighing every day and tracking it to see the trend makes me think I should weigh more often??

If any newbies want a code for Voy, here's mine. We will both get a discount if used on your 1st order.

The daily weigh ins the first couole of days after a jab are so fun I get hungry quickly though it seems so the second half of the week not so much

So no whoosh here but have dropped another pound so 6lbs down in total in just over 2 weeks, which I'm pleased with. Took Jab 3 yesterday and feel fine so far. Keen to get started with the higher doses in a couple of weeks to see if that makes a difference.

I can see my face and stomach are visibly slimmer so that's a nice motivator.

I took my first 5mg dose yesterday and so far no side effects!

Hi just made it into the May group, I've had the pen since Wednesday, but I've been a bit nervous taking it.

So I bit the bullet this morning, I'm off work so going to sort out my fridge and ensure I have high protein meals.

I'm starting at 115.3kg according to my scales this morning, so it's going to be a long journey. I've struggled with my weight for years, but with peri menopause I have not been able to shift it and have lost motivation.

Fingers crossed this is the catalyst for me to make life changes. My diet on paper looks good, but I snack too much and I know my portion sizes are bigger than they should be.

@mostlyhalfbaked you’re probably our final May member so welcome to the group! You might have a long journey but you’ve started and that’s hard, so a huge congratulations to you for going for it.

@Snipples @Tarsandcase glad you’ve not had any side effects. I’m a bit anxious about moving up to 5g but am going to try and extract my fifth dose of 2.5 first.

Hi can I join please, I started my first injection on Wed, Ive over 3 stone to lose, Ive not weighed myself yet, may do that tomorrow, so far no side effects

I'm on my 2 pen and I'm moving to voy, I have this discount code https://joinvoy.com/r/U-W8azYqRDDR but I think I need to use it with someone? Does anyone want to swap together?
also how to check voy price for 10mg pen? Thanks!

Anyone had a bad experience eating half a 9 inch pizza? I have a pizza party event tomorrow and a bit nervous about my first try of "fatty food"

@allhailtheeyeballsinthesky welcome to the group!
@PoppyBloom ive eaten a slice of pizza with no ill effects

Have a fab time in London @ClonedSquare!
a bit like you I’ve felt I’m not ‘struggling’ to force any food down to be honest, just full quicker. That being said my calories have been a lot lower than I would have expected and snacks too.
look forward to hearing how your trip went!

Also doing bonus dose and need to get the 5 ordered. Great to hear journey ahead @Snipples & @Tarsandcase. Need to order the needles asap but with half term and DH around panicking about when they might arrive 🙈 My birthday week too!

Welcome to the May Mounjaro Club @allhailtheeyeballsinthesky @mostlyhalfbaked - it’s great knowing we’re all on the same journey and can support each other!

Thanks @evolute , we're having a great time. Had Korean barbecue for dinner so actually not as awful calorie wise as it could have been! Still not expecting massive loss this week but feel good that I haven't boredom snacked on the train or when walking around food markets!

Good morning!

Today concludes Week 1 for me. Result - 4 kg / 8.81 lbs, which is WILD! Very pleased with that result. Today is jab day although hunger suppression is still pretty on, so wondering whether to jab or postpone by a day or two.

@3wDavid Congratulations!

I would stick at it if you can, it will help it build in your system before you feel any hunger / ideally you don’t want to notice it disappear before your next dose.

Fourth week and I’m a feeling despondent today, like psychologically I don’t even know if the suppression is there - I feel like I could eat badly if I chose to.

@evolute hey, we are all rooting for each other here, so don’t despair! Off days are totally ok and you are doing so well. And it’s your birthday week! Put those despondent thoughts in a box on a shelf and remind yourself how well you’ve done so far. You’ve got this! 😀

@evolute maybe the question is not I could eat if I CHOSE to but have you? If answer is no. Something has clicked! I don’t think temptations ever go, we are humans and it’s in our nature but the control seems to be there for you which is epic! And if that control drops cos of bad day etc then next question is do you jump back on? Again if answer is yes you are smashing this. Just a reframe needed imho. Well done so far 👏🏻

I have 3 50% off links for Voy.

let me know if you want to use one. I have found Voy very good so far.

@evolute I could have written the same! I'm still feeling pretty rotten the first couple of days but could definitely now still choose to eat crap and feel the temptation more than I did at the start when I couldn't face eating. I'm due to go to 5 on Tues but have been worried about it and haven't ordered yet. Will try and extract dose 5 instead while I pluck up the courage. Well done on getting this far!

@evolute I've definitely had days when I feel like I could eat badly if I wanted to. I think on those days I just need to remind myself how much I'm spending on these injections! Even if it just makes it a tiny bit easier to say no, that's a bonus. Before I would probably have given into temptation early in the day and then had a new desire I'd have given into by afternoon. At least if you can hold out until mid afternoon it's only one "give in"!

Had a bad brunch this morning but haven't had lunch and we've walked 13,000 steps so far (and nearly 17k yesterday) so I'm not beating myself up too much! Having steak and chips for dinner which isn't too bad as meals out go, so hopefully I've at least maintained when I weigh in on Monday!

@3wDavid congrats, that's an amazing loss!
