Is anyone starting Mounjaro in June?

@Ineffable23 that’s brilliant!

I also carry a load of muscle so interested to hear you’ve had such good results.

I honestly feel like this stuff is magic, but I guess I should reserve judgement for another few weeks.

I'm going to be really interested to see what comes out of the studies that are presumably ongoing about what means someone responds to it or not.

I'm also wondering if the initial dosing should really be weight based because presumably an initial dose of 2.5mg on a bit south of 13 stone, which I was, will be quite different from someone who is 18 stone - and whether they therefore ought to offer tapered starting doses depending on weight.

I was 18st 6 when I started four weeks ago. And 2.5 mg has worked brilliantly for me. I've lost a stone in that time.
I haven't needed a higher dose to start on.

Me neither @Snozzlemaid I was just shy of 16stone and have lost 18lb in 3wks on 2.5mg

I am starting to feel I can eat more now on week 4, so I am ready to try moving up to 5mg. My portions for meals are still small and I struggle to finish but I have had a few snacks over the last couple of days which I hadn’t considered before.

I was really sick when I tried moving up on saxenda so am a bit nervous!! weeks 1 and 2 I had sulphur burps and diarrhoea (thankfully just one offs) so might try 3.75… argh I don’t know!!!!

I'm definitely having a week or to at 3.75. I'm not brave enough to double my dose just yet.

That's fantastic! I guess this really illustrates what I mean though - some people are finding it amazing - indeed most, but not all, so what's the correlation there and is it indicative of causation. We just don't have the data to tell. Same with the need to move up doses etc.

Hi I’ve read all the threads and am thankful for all the information. I have just taken my 2nd dose of 2.5 yesterday, after both jabs I’ve had what feels like a lump when I swallow, it’s a strange sensation, almost like I’ve got something stuck in the back of my throat. It did ease after the 1st dose but has come back after the 2nd.Has anyone had this ?

I spent the day with my parents today after my baby class and hardly ate anything and only had 2 coffees so I’m really pleased with that.

Not the healthiest dinner as it was breaded chicken and chips but I had what could only be described as a children’s portion. Two chicken goujons and a very small handful of chips with some beans. I’m still feeling full!

Have been drinking lots of water and thankfully not encountered any constipation yet. I must have walked about 15k steps today too.

Will weigh myself again on Monday morning before second jab so still a while to go to see how week 1 has been. I’m hoping to have lost a couple of pounds.

We had steak tonight and I ate more than I have all week, definitely ready for jab 2 tomorrow. I’ve decided not to weigh myself. I’m going by clothes. I have one pair of denim shorts that I can now do up - still wouldn’t wear them outside but they’re my goal

I needed to read this thread tonight. I've been back to my old habits snacking I feel so guilty. I was feeling so empty and light last week. Now i feel like a blob again. My 5 pen comes tomorrow & I can't wait to start it on Saturday. Need to get a handle on tomorrow & Friday. So I'm In a good frame of mind on Saturday and hopefully haven't gained anything by then 🫣

@Snozzlemaid Yes I started at 21stone so am surprised I have had such an easy ride on 2.5mg.
With all the talk of increased side effects I figured a few weeks at 3.5mg might ease me in gently to 5mg. The 3.5mg gives me great suppression and zero food noise this week. Never lost weight this easily before mainly due to me not living my life thinking about my next meal or snack. I know I will do this just maintaining is a worry. That’s always my downfall. Going to have to give it a lot of thought.

@Newme24 Please don’t beat yourself up. As long as you get back on the horse you will succeed. We all slip up. If weight loss was easy there wouldn’t be obesity. Hope the new pen helps.
Be kind to yourself and don’t berate yourself. It is hard.

@CrystaltipsnoAlistair ahh thank you so much. I know you're right. I've already planned what I'm having tomorrow food wise and I'm going to keep myself busy and try super hard. I really want this to work. I've loved it so far and people are noticing the difference which is always nice. But weirdly when people start mentioning I look well and have I lost weight etc I start thinking oh I can have a little something. I've been good so far and deserve it 🫣

But you're right it's not easy but a long journey and it needs to be a long term thing. A good sleep tonight and ready to hit the ground running again tomorrow 🙌

Thank you x

@Newme24 It is so easy to fall off the wagon.
If you are like me you have an emotional connection to food. I actually got upset when people commented so much on my weight loss in the past. It felt like all they saw in me was my size. What about me ? I am more than my
body size. Does it matter what size jeans I wear. It is hard to deal with sometimes. I know they meant well but I would rather people liked me for me and not focus on my body shape. Does that make sense? I want to lose weight for my health.
I am the same as you as in a wee treat won’t hurt but for me the treat turned into a spiral of overeating over time. This MJ seems to curb my inner food voice. Just need to keep on the journey.
Good luck and hope the 5mg helps.

Each pen will do a total of 240 clicks so you may get more than 4 doses if you are having less than a full dose.

Thank you - that's super helpful.

I am on my first 5 tomorrow too. A little nervous at doubling the dose.

1.6lb down this week, but that's with a couple of meals out and battling constipation.

SW 17st 7.4
CW 16st 7.4

A stone down in three weeks

I'm going to up my last dose today to 3.75 as 2.5 is not really giving me much suppression. I said to Voy I bent some needles so they sent me some extras. 5mg should be sent soon for next week and as someone used my code, it's 50% off. Happy days.

Hope everyone is good and coping with this heat.

@Sewfrickinamazeballs whoop on the stone that’s great!

How did you know that someone used your code? Was it just when you went to pay? I want to stay with voy because I’m lazy and can’t be dealing with the sign up process again but it’s v expensive without a code.

One week done here - not weighing but definitely feel slimmer. Other wins are only one coffee per day (usually have at least two bought ones and two from the machine), zero Diet Coke, zero chocolate/crisps, zero snacking, loads of exercise but definitely need to fuel that a bit better

I’m actually excited about the injection tonight

Just done my fourth dose. Didn't even feel it this time so worried it didn't go in - but obviously it didn't go everywhere else either so I guess it did! I'm almost 10 pounds down so far. Ordered my next pen with Zava (thanks to the person whose code I used and the person who used mine). Approved within an hour and arrived next day - but I still have my bonus dose thing to use too so have bought needles for that.

Start weight: 89.5
Current weight: 85
Goal weight 69

Just done my bonus 5th dose, did the twist method. It was easy enough to do but had a syringe at the ready Incase I messed it up 😂 Im so happy as I’ve been in a stall for the last week and I’ve still lost 14lb in 4 weeks!
Used someone’s Zava code from this thread for my 5mg pen. Can’t remember whose it was but thank you!

My Zava referal code if anyone else needs one is
REFA5RT2

@achangeofnameisasgoodasarest what "evidence" did you have to give to change to Zava? And did you go from 2.5 -5? 10lbs down is fantastic.

@Time4changeagain whoop for 14lbs!

2nd dose administered yesterday. I was definitely ready for it as was feeling 'normal' again. I made the most of it though, as we are on holiday and I wanted to enjoy a little French cheese and wine without feeling nauseous!

Happily skipping breakfast and then lots of BBQ and salad. Haven't weighed yet, and won't until we are back. Would be surprised if I have lost anything, but as this is still the introductory doses I'm not too worried. I'm definitely seeing this as a longer term thing.
Husband is very impressed I haven't given in to ice cream or the delicious cakes in the patisseries!!
Well done on everyone's losses!!

@Callmejudith on the voyage web page, click 'refer a friend' and it has your code to share but also shows if it has been used. I have a tick on one box and Voy confirmed it has been used. It resets are each order so will start to shamelessly share again once the next order is shipped
