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

I used voy to order and it was really easy. It’s a quick online registration and add your height and weight, as long as there’s no health issues and your bmi is over 30 you should be accepted, and you need to add a full length selfie. I was approved the next working day and it was posted straight away. I paid £114 for the first and it’s a subscription for each month but it looks easy to cancel if you want to. Here’s my code if you’d like the discount and it’ll give me a discount for my next order. Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome everyone! The pen will arrive today, undecided if I will start today or tomorrow yet we will see.

Officially did my first week weigh in and I'm at 5.5lbs for the week. Very pleased with that, although I did have quite a snacky day yesterday so feel it could have been a little more.

Determined to be even better this week in terms of food choices, although I acknowledge I won't lose this much every week!

@ClonedSquare well done! Twin!!

Im super pleased with my week 1 weigh in this morning - showing a loss of 5.5lbs!

I know it won’t carry on like this but what a boost for week one😊

Well I've just signed up. I'm so sick of being fat and feeling unhealthy.
Just got it ordered to home and will do the thing of having it redirected to PO if I'm not going to be here. Thanks for the tip!
Seems like the Voy code is only giving 37% rather than 50% now. Anyone else noticed this?

Does anyone know which suppliers let you tell your GP yourself? I got the initial dose from Mayfair Weight Loss Clinic and they let you tick you’ll tell your gp yourself on the form. Does any other place do that so I can shop around?

I am in good health (other than my weight) and for various reasons I’d rather speak to the new GP I’m trying to register with myself about this rather than my unpleasant current one (I posted on the main Mounjaro 9 thread with more details, but my previous good GP retired and the other one they assigned me at the practice is awful, and in the past told a family member of mine private info I didn’t want shared. I’d rather avoid him.). I’d like to see if I can get a better deal for the next pen but if it’s not possible anywhere else without telling this guy I guess I’ll stick with Mayfair!)

I am waiting to hear back from two other practices so maybe I’ll get in somewhere else and this won’t be a worry then.

@ClonedSquare @evolute wow, well done! That’s a great start and you must be really pleased.
End of week one for me today and I’ve lost 6 pounds, so very happy with that.

@CoolRanch I’m with Voy and they didn’t mention any GP contact.

@Silvesterthecat thanks I'll checking it out when I have to reorder. I had a discount code on oharmacy4u but think that only applied to 1st pirchase. If I do I'll use your code.

Day 2 and I'm loving it. I'm eating much much smaller portions - don't even know how to cook for a Mel now. Made a light lunch and could only eat 1/2 - normally I'd eat the whole thing plus something else since it was just veg. Have to cook dinner for ds and can't even stomach the idea of having what he's eating. I'm going to have some asparagus and an egg and see how that goes. I have a bit of a headache but given the weather I think it's that.
I am feeling low energy and I want to do a weights workout but can't bring myself to do it. Will have to do one tomorrow. I think I have to eat a bit more or I won't have energy for exercise.

How's everyone else doing? Has the novelty worn off? I'm hoping it does for me soon and I just get on with life this new way.

Sorry forgot, triplets! 😂 @ClonedSquare @Greentrilby yay to us

@evolute @Greentrilby congrats guys! Fingers crossed we keep doing so well 😁

@evolute loving the illustration 😂

I had my first dose on Monday. Down 4lbs this morning. Felt a bit more hungry today. Had a salad with cold ham, and coleslaw. Tea was a tub of cottage cheese and two crisp breads. Think I’ll try and fast until tomorrow at 12 when I get back from my volunteering

great losses everyone x
Anyone know any cheaper price for injection with discount codes so i can order my next injection soon x

Well, week 2 has come to an end and I’m taking my third jab tomorrow.

absolutely loving it. No side effects anymore, just effortless weight loss. Going to buy a dermaroller to help with loose skin that might appear.

Current weight 76.2kg

16kg to go!

try this if you not already tried voy

my first order was with voy x

wow well done tour doing amazing!
what types of food have you been eating? Also have you been exercising?

I am due my 3rd injection on Sunday. Side effects have all gone but appetite is coming back now. Has any one gone up a dose quicker than recommended?

Well yesterday was my first full day. Felt kind of weird and couldn’t eat much, but that’s encouraging I guess? Means it’s doing something?

For breakfast I mixed the protein powder I often use with a tiny bit of oats, fruit, ice and water. For lunch I had a cucumber and tomato salad with about a quarter of a portion of low fat, high protein tortellini (I cooked one portion but it ended up seeming like masses). For dinner I made a plate I thought was a small portion (tiniest seasoned chicken breast in the pack done in air fryer, two medium baby potatoes and some broccoli, plus a few roasted veggies, and I had trouble finishing it). I enjoyed what I had but I could not have eaten any more! And I felt a little weird and too full for a while after so maybe even that was too much.

So that was all less than I’d normally eat in meals, plus I had no desire for food in the evening. Normally I just think about food all evening and then pick at stuff I find in the cupboards all night. I normally try to make sure it’s healthy stuff but it’s still snacking. So it’s really cut down on what I ate the first day overall!

Day 2 - I made myself eat a high protein yogurt so far and I’m going to go get an apple in a minute too to help try to keep fibre up!

Just did my order on Bolt. Excited to get started!
Have 20kg’s to shift😟 - it krept up on me and now it doesn’t seem to budge😤

SW: 83kg
TW: 63kg

I decided to start it last night, as I have a no meeting work day today (for once!) and having seen that day 3 can be a killer, I would rather that be over the weekend.

Too early to be sure how I feel I think. I certainly don't feel crap yet, but will wait and see.

Not tried eating, not ready for breakfast yet but that's not that unusual for me. I can feel that my stomach is empty but I wouldn't say I feel hungry.... or have a particular desire to eat.

One thing I did notice is when filling in the meal plan for the week, I normally get a few cravings/pangs, but not so far this morning. It's too soon to tell if that's psychosomatic.

I've just taken the plunge and injected! Wonder how I'll feel tomorrow morning?

I went with Voy and here's my code if it helps anyone with a discount 😁.

I'll check in later tomorrow. Feeling excited!

Welcome to the newest May MJs @jamtastic @loudbatperson @ChampagneLab and anyone else I’ve missed. Starting is always the hardest part of any journey so well done.
I had a difficult evening last night as I met a close friend for drinks and decided to tell her that I was taking MJ. I’ve not even told my DH. Anyway my friend went ballistic with me saying I was jeopardising my life by taking drugs off the internet. She really put the frighteners on me and we had a very difficult conversation which left me feeling a complete failure. Has anyone else faced such a negative response?

My first dose arrived yesterday but having bought it on payday I’m wary of not being able to afford to reorder just before next payday so trying to leave it a bit, but I’m so eager to get going! Reading day three is tough helped as Monday is office day in an ideal world I’d wait till Thursday to take the first dose but… last night I was full from dinner but had a chocolate splurge, I’m sure it was I won’t be able to do this soon so I’ll do it now thinking, but it’s madness to put on the first weeks loss the week before.
but also my concern I have never had control over food, I use it to numb out emotions, last night I wasn’t hungry, slightly uncomfortable from a large dinner but still I ate a huge bar of chocolate- it’s made me nervous it won’t work for me, that it’s not just feeling hungry that effects my food choices.
