Well my end of week 1 weigh and I’m 6.5lbs down which is amazing. I’ve done loads of exercise this week including a 3hr bike ride today. But I just felt great once I got pass the sugar detox & 48hr headache! There’s less inflammation in my joints it’s really noticeable. I took no2 this morning after the cycle and was nervous again I did a mini primer as there looked like a small air bubble at the top that wouldn’t ping out. I switched sides on my stomach to do it and could kinda feel it. I hope the headache doesn’t come back like last week, I’ve made a conscious effort to drink a lot today as it’s humid too.

I can't miss my coffees love my warm morning wake up. It is interesting how it affects people differently. I have had no taste changes still love coffee and fizzy drinks. Not tried wine to see if I am off that yet.

Coffee has a laxative affect for me too but not sure that's a good or bad thing.

A good thing, definitely a good thing! Most of my intake the last few days has been prunes

@Summerslimm wow that’s brilliant!

@Sewfrickinamazeballs i hope the prunes kick in!

Ended up in a bloody fried chicken place today, all the kids were picking the restaurant. Everything in sight was deep fried. I went for some Korean wings and ate about 6 and chugged tons of water. Praying to the tummy gods that I don’t suffer

thanks @Callmejudith it literally did turn off that food noise within a few hours it’s bonkers really. I just looked at my fitness pal for the week and I averaged 1400c a day but 1000c after exercise. I’ve eaten half a plate of salad for lunch & dinner plus some protein. And still have a multipack of chocolate in the fridge untouched as the thought of it made me feel ugh. Geez I never want to lose this feelings it’s life changing I just hope it doesn’t wear off!

I turned on my tv and got an advert for South Park’s new weight loss injection episode- it’s everywhere!!

Oh really?! Everything I've read says to prime before each dose!

@Summerslimm well done, that's amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻

The food chatter has disappeared and the full feeling is back after my second dose this morning.

Gosh it's a strange feeling not thinking about food all the time (replaced with why am I not thinking about food 😆)

I had my first 2.5 jag on Friday afternoon, since then I've not struggled to eat but I could take it or leave it happily. I'm making myself eat as I know I have to but I'm only managing a small bowl of Greek yogurt, fruit, all bran or muesli and then a salad with some protein (sardines, steak, eggs something like that). And I feel like I've had a big Sunday roast. Oddest feeling.

Also strange effect here of when I put my head down to sleep there is..... nothing. No thoughts, no busy making lists, no going over the day, just blank space. Again something I'm not used to!

Sorry, I'm clearly still in the incredulous stage 🙃

Does anyone here have an underactive thyroid which they're taking levothyroxine for? I didn't think they would interact (only warning was that MN slows digestive transit, which didn't feel like a problem). However this weekend I have had what I think is gout for the first time ever :/ Apparently the risk of gout is low on tirzepatide but it is a symptom of an underactive thyroid, so I am wondering if my thyroid meds aren't being taken up effectively after all.

Horrible, very painful and sore toe for reference:(

Where do you get rid of the sharps box? The Council won't take it, nor will the doctors or any of the chemists I have asked. Where do you get rid of it?

I fill in a form on my councils website, they ask what container needs collecting and what you want it replaced with and you chose your one off collection date or a regular service.
If your council have a separate site for waste management maybe it's there?

So it's been a busy week this week. Celebrations and long days out. Means I haven't been eating the best I can, however it's still nothing like I can normally manage. However I'm showing as a 3lb gain! Not due on my period for a couple of weeks but I feel so uncomfortable and heavy and bloated. Hoping I see that come back off next Saturday. It has disappointed me, however I guess I'm in it for the long run and actually since my 4th 2.5 dose on Saturday I feel so not bothered about food and felt a bit sicky that I wonder if this week the suppression will hit hard. Thinking of moving up to 5 on Saturday. I best order my pen ready.

@HalebiHabibti that sounds awful!

@Newme24 fingers crossed it drops off again soon

It’s my first day in the office since starting today. Amazingly the chicken wings had no effect (which is making me thing its not actually working). I do feel a bit slimmer in my work trousers though.

I was about to post something different. Eating drastically different (and less) than before, but on the weekend had a meal out and a takeaway sandwich Saturday. Thats been enough to result in a 2lb gain so far this week. It just goes to show how willing my body is to grab those calories. It's like having an evil inner demon mining for lbs in every morsel I eat. If I break even this week I will be happy. I am half way through week 3 of 2.5mg and I am sooooo ready for 5mg I think.

Post similar, not different

5 days out from my first injection and still feeling really good. I've had no real side effects so far, which was the thing that was worrying me most. Appetite is still well-controlled although possibly I feel like the edge is coming off the suppression a little. I feel like I've eaten quite decadently over the weekend but looking at MFP I'm still comfortably within my calories and I've not had any of the snacks I'd usually have around the edges. It feels a bit miraculous!

I'm flying on Wednesday and away for 5 days so rather than taking my pen with me, I think I'm going to move my injection forward to Tuesday - I'm guessing a one-off move at this low dose shouldn't cause major problems?

Just ordered my 5mg pen; I'm doing my 3rd 2.5mg today.

Loss so far is 8.8lbs but it seems to have slowed now (I know any loss is a bonus on 2.5mg) and I definitely feel it start to wear off around day 5.

I'm thinking of doing a couple of 3.75 and then two x 5mg when the time comes - nervous about any side effects, but tbh all I get from 2.5 is constipation.

So almost at the end of my first week on 2.5. Definitely feeling the effects and feel like this is making the process of controlling portions easier.
My husband had booked us on a wine tasting afternoon yesterday, booked prior to the MJ, which would normally have filled me with delight and we would have got happily squiffy trying every one.
After a lovely lunch in which I left some of my main course (unheard of!) I couldn't stomach the whites at all and only had a few sips of some different reds. Was really worried by a couple of discreet burps at one point, but kept everything down!
I think this is going to be a revolution for me. I now just need to learn to order less food when eating out, and enjoy a smaller wine if I have any at all...
not weighing myself until we get back from holiday in a week or so, but being mindful.
Good luck everyone.
This thread is so supportive

First time posting, 2nd week of Mounjaro on 2.5 dose. Not hearing the food noise is strange because I LOVE food. So far 6 pound lost and not down the back of the sofa either! I got my pen from Zava using a code from this thread.

here’s my code is anybody wants to use it:
REFA5RT2
15% off (maximum £30)

Just taken my very first dose. Will keep reading this thread with interest.

Finished week 3 and lost no weight! Feeling quite discouraged as I've definitely been eating less than usual.

I did have a question - I see a lot of people on here and the advice received from Superdrug emphasise making sure you're drinking enough water. Can I ask why that is the case? Obviously staying hydrated is important in general, but is it especially important when you're on Mounjaro? I've always been awful at drinking enough, even when making a conscious effort I struggle to drink more than 1L of water a day.

@Sewfrickinamazeballs that made me laugh - my body also seeks out and takes every little lb it can!

@mandarindreams I'm the same with no snacks - it does feel miraculous. Snacks are 100% my downfall. I honestly think this is the first weekend in years that I haven't snacked! I'm not an expert but I wouldn't have thought bringing the jab forward one day would matter that much.

@Batlady78 I'm thinking of doing the same thing when I get to the end of the 2.5 month. I've had zero side effects and would like to keep it that way.

@DietStartsM0NDAY god I love a wine tasting! So weird isn't it how it's easier to just make a good choice. My DH would have been delighted more wine for him.

@Iwillbethin88 great loss well done! I think I might change to Zava for my next pen. What was the sign up process like?

@ChynaS Welcome! Fingers crossed for no side effects. I have been taking electrolytes every morning in a pint of water and I swear it's helped.

@99jjb I think you definitely need to up the water. I'm not sure of the science but whenever I drink loads of water when dieting it helps so much. I think it helps everything flush out!

We have visitors to the office today so ended up walking up to a street food place for lunch. I had a steak and rice salad and ate all the salad and about a third of the steak and rice. Such a waste of money but also pleased I didn't manage it all. I had a protein shake for breakfast and I am absolutely stuffed now.

Anybody have zero effect from their 2nd 2.5mg injection? first injection really seemed to do something...food noise off, struggled to want to eat anything. I had nausea and headaches day 1. by end of the week appetite was back. 2nd jab absolutely nothing... was like I hadn't done it. lost 1kg in first week..don't mind slow losses..but wondering now whether to pull forward my 3rd does to do at 5 days?
