Hi everyone. June starter here 😀
I’ve had 2 doses of 2.5 so far.
ive already ordered 5mg pen for after this but wondering if I should have stuck on 2.5 another month.

I’m interested in that too - I am week 1 day 6

today (first time I’ve had bread this week)

B half cup porridge, 2 tbsp chia seeds, blueberries, milk
L chicken breast, tomatoes, 2 x wholemeal bread, salad cream
D Sirloin steak and vegetables, Dijon mustard
S strawberries, few almonds, banana, kiwi

yesterday

Bunch: cheese and mushroom omelette, salad
Dinner: breaded fish, vegetables, tomato sauce
Snack: Greek yogurt and berries, small amount dark chocolate

Tuesday

B as today
L left over fish, fennel and chickpea traybake
D steamed salmon and vegetables with soy sauce
S can’t remember!

I was going to start in the morning but my brain was racing so decided to just bite the bulllet and do it so I’m done! Think I probably pushed a bit hard 😀

Ive not told anyone I’m doing this so feel very very illicit

Also the Voy video says ok to keep out of the fridge so I’m doing that

My mounjaro was due to be delivered today, dispatched on Wednesday by 24 hour post but seems to be stuck in a mail centre over 100 miles away. It still isn't moving and I am worried that it will be no good by the time I get it. I still have my last dose of 2.5mg to use this weekend but wanted to order in good time in case they asked for more photos for example but now I worry my mounjaro will be ruined by getting too warm. The weather is set to get much warmer tomorrow as well. I hope I won't lose the money I spent on next months medication!

@needingtogetfit I am experimenting with protein, I know the recommendations in general are for at least 100g or even higher depending on body weight but there is also some research that suggests having a high protein diet can activate the mtor pathway and retard autophagy which is the mechanism by which the body clears cellular damage and recycles old damaged proteins. Autophagy is also one of the ways in which our skin can snap back after weight loss.

I am not really sure what to make of it, I think that constant high protein might not be ideal even though it does make you feel more full. There is even some belief we may in general be eating too much protein and that we only need about 15% of our calories from protein. Like I say I am experimenting to see how I feel and lose on higher and lower protein. I am also doing strength training and seem to be gaining muscle on between 15% and 20% of my calories from protein. I do think the protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer though.

I'm a week in and still not feeling hungry. I have eaten 2 meals a day of varying sizes every day since I started, managed 3 meals one day and today have only eaten one meal. It just means I feel a bit hungry and then I do something else and I can forget I'm hungry again for hours.

Due for my next jab today but have delayed a day as I will be away for several weeks and if I can push each dose out by a day I won't run out before I come home. I can't take a second pen with me as I won't have a fridge and it would be unrefrigerated for too long.

Down 4lb for the first week. I have been out for lunch, been to a barbecue, had a stressful week at work and had friends over for dinner one night so that would normally be a week where losing anything at all was a miracle.

Great to keep reading everyone's successes. I'm hoping I'll manage to get the bonus dose out but that's a problem for me in a few weeks!

@needingtogetfit Iim aiming for a 1g of protein per body weight kg. So in my case between 80-100g. I’m having yogurt n nuts at breakfast, then eating turkey, cheese and eggs as my main sources within a 1200c over 3 x400c meals a day. I’m eating alot salad and some fruit at the moment. I’m gluten free and prefer not to have a protein shake with lots sweetners but many people supplement with a protein shake/powder. Amazingly my 4 pack of mini fudge bars are sitting unopened as I’ve completely lost interest in eating chocolate which is unheard of for me.

I just weighed myself and I’m under 200lbs. I can’t believe it. That’s 15lbs in just under 3 weeks. I’m absolutely starving this morning though and I think the 2.5mg is not working as well on the appetite surpression now. I’m tempted to try and use the bonus dose to make my last week of 2.5 a bit more.

Day 7 and I'm 4lb down ... started my period today so I'm hoping it's actually more but masked by period bloat.

I've eaten as normal in terms of meals but snacking was my main issue and that's completely stopped, so really pleased with that, as that will be my health benefits. No unpleasant side effects.

Does anyone else feel fuller but could still eat a good amount of they had it in front of them? I'm still able to finish my dinner. I'm a clean plate club girl (iykyk). When I literally have to stop and can't take another mouthful then I will know it's properly working. I'm still only week two. Will that proper fullness come or do some people have to keep a lid on the portion sizes themselves?

End of first week weigh in this morning…

SW 13st 3.5lb
WI 12st 12.75lb (!!!!!)
GW 10st 6lb

what a big first week. I’ll need to drum it into my head that it’s not going to be like that every week. Chasing big losses is often my downfall….

@Lastchancefatty I’m the same now I’ve been on 2.5 for three weeks. I could definite eat more. I’m hoping this changes when I increase.

Wow these are great first week losses!

I woke up feeling find this morning, usually chug a coffee but only had a couple of mouthfuls, had some electrolytes and have filled my water bottle.

Having Greek yog, banana, kiwi and granola for brekkie. I’ve got spin and body pump today so let’s see how the energy levels are.

It’s absolutely fine not refrigerated for 21 days. Retains full efficacy, so don’t worry. Also the chill packaging is nice and cold for a few days. Mine was delayed due so weekend and it was still cold when it arrived Monday which was day 4 since despatched.

Lost 10lbs at 2 week weigh in Monday of this week and know I’ve lost more but stopping myself weighing again until Monday

my second M pen arrived already (ordered early as I’m about to go away for 2 weeks) im going up from 2.5 to 5 as I’ve had no side effects probably due to micro dosing and will continue doing that. I jab Monday Wednesday Friday's @ .2ml giving me the full .6ml each week.

1st pen was from medexpress no code packaging was ok they didn’t want me ordering a week early.
2nd pen ordered from Zava, added a note to order about holiday, all fine. process similar but packaging far better and much more eco friendly too. saved it as can easily reuse ♻️ it has a carry handle which I like.

I got a 15% code which made it cheaper, my code is REF93QJV gives you 15% off and you can get 15% off future orders by sharing your code. 😉
spread the love 🥰

Lost another 3lbs today - really chuffed with that. I took dose 4 and the extra dose together this week (so 5mg in total) because I go away next week and I don't want to take my first 5mg dose away from home- I want to see how I cope on it ahead of my travel because I heard there can be lots of side effects in week 1.

But in the past 3 weeks I've lost just under 17lb which I honestly can't believe.

@User4532456734 yes to the period. I'm also on a pill where i just don't have any bleeds. Am at the end of wk 3 now and I've been bleeding since the end of wk2.
I came off the pill about 6 months ago to see what would happen (meno age) and I bled constantly for a month so went back on it. I have a horrible feeling its going to happen again. Waah!

@DamnedIfIDoDamnedIfIDont I’m very very intrigued by your micro dosing - not seen anyone else doing that. What made you go that route if you don’t mind me asking?

@DamnedIfIDoDamnedIfIDont Thank you for that reassurance, it is due to be delivered today and now showing at the local depot so fingers crossed it is still chilled when it arrives!

don’t mind at all.
I’ve been researching for months before starting M, I have a busy job/life and needed to mitigate side effects to not only work and socialise unhindered but to ensure I stuck to the injections/weight loss journey once I’d committed.
I discovered micro dosing seems a pretty foolproof way of avoiding the negative side effects that can hit following the normal/full dose injection.
So splitting the weekly dose into 3 is my protocol. Because I draw the dosage direct from the pen I’m also getting 5 weeks worth of injections so it’s also more cost effective.
a win win for me
