Mounjaro July 2024

Lumirubin · 20/06/2024 19:20

Thought id start a thread for anyone starting in July given we are almost there. I've just ordered tonight with Voy, hoping I get approved and will be able to start next week.

I'm a little apprehensive as some of my eating habits are emotionally driven not hunger! So I'm going to need to find some will power too. That's why I've gone with a company that provides support as well as just medication.

Anyone fancy joining along?

My starting weight is 18st 1lb and I'm 5ft 5 so I've ALOT to loose.

I've been approved for Mounjaro from Zava, wish I had seen the discount codes beforehand.
Can we use the discount code on our next pens or does it have to be our first one?
I'm 5 foot 2 and 13 stone 10!! Had baby at start of year, and hate how I look. X

Jomummy1013 · 25/06/2024 15:50

I've read it can help with wine cravings which is my downfall.
What day of the week is best to inject, I read the whole thread, does the appetite suppression wear off towards the end of the week? Xx

Caitlynandthecat · 25/06/2024 15:50

Hi I'm also thinking about starting.
I've had my first pen in my fridge for a month! So worried about side effects and getting anxious that I've yet to use it. Blush

Caitlynandthecat · 25/06/2024 15:52

I'm 5ft 2, 14 stones, bulging out of my size 16s. Have been dieting all of my life with varying success. I'm so fed up of thinking about my weight and diet all day every day and feeling crap and self conscious with aching joints. I'm only 40!

Lumirubin · 25/06/2024 17:43

@Caitlynandthecat I've not had any side effects today at all after injecting for the first time last night if that makes you feel less anxious?

@Jomummy1013 not sure if you can use them on your second month but worth a try! I'm with Voy but think I'm going to swap to zava for my second month so I can use the discount and just keep doing that until I've used up all the discounts available and actually have to pay full price!

Looking forward to my first weigh in next week hoping I'm actually on the start of a downward trend!

I’ve just ordered via Zava…thanks for the code @KillinMounjaro

im 86 kg but getting steadily bigger and just can’t seem to shift it so have bitten the bullet.

quite nervous about injecting and side effects. However when over 13 stone I get a weird type of indigestion that makes me sick so I already I have a side effect from being overweight!

don’t think I’m going to tell anyone until I get a feel for how it is.

Bluewhitered · 25/06/2024 18:16

Me - I’ve just started 3 stone to go

EricCatman · 25/06/2024 18:20

If you’re fat, but not fat enough to have a BMI of 30, have any of you cheated a tad to get Mounjaro?

I also get a weird indigestion from
Being overweight, literally my belly too big and pushes my stomach up I think 😬

Ilovethewild · 25/06/2024 20:29

I’m bordering on buying, but still not sure what to buy. I like the idea of using different codes to save ££.
I eat emotionally as well, I dont know my weight as can’t bear to look, biggest I have been age 57, size 20, 5ft5.

struggle with boredom eating esp at night.
good meal sizes, but not most healthy.

live with 2 fussy eaters so already making many different meals. Neither of them need to lose weight and they don’t do healthy foods.

what eating regime are you following (if any)
if buying online, what checks are in place for safety? (I hear about fake jabs)

DoctorMartin · 25/06/2024 21:24

Done the deed tonight! Was all quite complicated Blush so hope I've done it right.

DoctorMartin · 25/06/2024 22:49

I hope it kicks in overnight - have not had a good evening

diian · 25/06/2024 22:57

I started last week. I ordered the 2.5 and 5mg pens from ZAVA. I am due to weigh in tomorrow and take my 2nd jab. This morning I was 5.5lb down.

I started this journey as I lost my dad to obesity related type 2 diabetes. He needed a quadruple heart bypass at 52 years old, ended up having a foot amputation and went totally blind. I do not want to go the same way.

Mounjaro has been a complete game-changer. How I wish it had been available for my dad in his 40/50s. I am looking forward to a slimmer July 2024!

Here is a code to get a 2.5mg pen for £122.
Use my code and you’ll get 15% off your first order at ZAVA: REFN6SPJ

@DoctorMartin well done for taking the plunge! Literally haha. To be fair I found it fairly complicated and I'm a nurse who's also done several rounds of IVF so got alot of experience of injecting! I'm sure you've done it right. Draw a line under this evening, new day tomorrow.

@Ilovethewild I'm a boredom eater and today I've just not been bothered at all despite working from home and there being treats in the house! Honestly that's a miracle for me. I've ordered through a company that provides coaching partly for that and partly because then I know it's a verified company and it's the real deal. My first jab actually wasn't cold when it arrived so I messaged them and they sent a replacement out which arrived the next day so I rate them so far. I'm getting annoyed by people randomly showing up and not contributing anything but dropping their discount link, but here is mine incase you want to do it through a company too, gets us both some money off

@EricCatman @eric
Love your username. I wish I was in the position to be not quite over 30, but I've been bmi over 30 as long as I can remember haha. But I'm sure if you lied a touch on what you weighed and a photo you sent them reflected that you'd be able. It depends what companies want. Voy wanted photo ID then a full body photo. Some companies want to see a photo of you stood on the scales from what I've read in other threads

Thank you so much @Lumirubin hopefully I wake up feeling great not hungover after popcorn and half a bottle of wine watching England Football

diian · 26/06/2024 06:50

First weigh-in today:

SW: 13st 4. BMI 30
CW: 12st 13 (-5lb)

GW:10st 8

Really happy!

DoctorMartin · 26/06/2024 09:19

Well I'm feeling a little bit bloated and full this morning for sure! I don't usually eat until 11 so will see what happens. I had a brilliant night's sleep but not sure if that's a coincidence or not.

NewLifter · 26/06/2024 13:19

Well I've just taken the plunge and ordered! Can't quite believe it as I've never even considered weight loss drugs before.

Diian I used your code for Zava - thanks! In case anyone else wants to pay it forward, mine is REF3PCF5.

Feeling a mixture of nervousness and anxiety - but looking forward to going through this journey with you all!

NewLifter · 26/06/2024 13:31

Just realised I didn't really introduce myself 😂 I gained a couple of stone after a period of serious stress both in work and at home - which led me to stop working out and to eat more. Back on track now but really impatient to shift the excess weight and get my fitness back so decided to try this to hurry things along as so far the exercise has increased my appetite even more 😂

Really excited to see everyones progress. And to fit back into my work uniforms 😭

diian · 26/06/2024 17:04

Thank you so much @NewLifter and welcome to the Mounjaro journey! I know people moan about the codes, but I was so grateful to get £30 off my 1st order.

Let us know if you have any questions. My pen arrived the day after all my photos and ID had been accepted. It was in a large plain box due to all the insulation and ice pack. I have been impressed with Zava.

NewoIkkin · 26/06/2024 17:37

Just got my approval notification. Feeling nervous now! I was going to start on Monday, being a new week and a new month and all that, but I’ll probably do it as soon as it gets here 😆

User364837 · 26/06/2024 17:42

im awaiting approval from ZAVA. As a newbie it seemed like the best value, the basic price is £139 and as you can see there are lots of 15% codes floating about! I also liked that j didn’t have to subscribe like Voy and personally didn’t feel I wanted the support sessions that Voy seem to offer but obviously some people might like that.
i feel so nervous about starting as tried saxenda briefly a couple of yrs ago and didn’t lose with it. I found the type of nausea it gave me made me want to eat white carbs 😆 am really really hoping that doesn’t happen with this, 🤞

just to jump on the bandwagon another 15% code for Zava if anyone wants to use it REF3DB2D

Lumirubin · 26/06/2024 18:02

Well done @diian ! 5lbs off is fab. How long post 1st injection is that?

I injected Monday so 2 days post and man am I full today! I almost feel a little bloated, like I've eaten a massive meal and hour or two ago, when in reality I've had 2 coffees, a banana and a small tuna pasta salad all day! This is SO unlike me it's unreal. Really hoping it's not a placebo affect and this carries on!

User364837 · 26/06/2024 18:18

I’m doing that thing I always do before starting a new diet or eating thing and eating everything in sight 😞 it’s kind of a last blowout mentality but can’t seem to stop it!

really hoping I get approved by zava soon so I can start Monday or Tuesday

MounjaroMunchie · 26/06/2024 21:07

Hopefully, I will be joining you pretty soon - just bit the bullet and signed up with Zava. Feeling pretty traumatised after submitting those photos!

Thanks for sharing your referral code @User364837, fingers crossed I get approved so you get a nice discount, too. If anyone feels like sharing the love, my referral code is REFC5MDQ for 15% off your first order at Zava.

For accountability, my starting stats are:

SW 12st 6lb
Height 4' 10"
BMI 35.6

Feeling nervous, but also kind of excited!
