Moun-June-ers 2024 continued

[Sewfrickinamazeballs]

Continuation thread for the June 2024 Mounjaro starters.

Noooooo!! Eat the corners first!! 😂

Kids meals are just the right size.. but always flipping chicken nuggets or sausages!

Huge NSV for me this morning - got into a pair of trousers I’ve not worn for 3 years! Then discovered a hole in them so they had to go but hey ho!

Damn!
🤣🤣🤣

Isn't it awful how every place that does children's meals offers the same crap.

It's hardly encouraging healthy eating in them, is it?

No wonder half the country's on Mounjaro.

I think even body builders have a metabolism day. I remember a documentary, a guy searching around for donuts as he only had until 12pm to eat them on his cheat day.

Hmm, starting to wonder whether I might need to move up to 5mg for my next pen after all. Latest jab doesn't really seem to have done much, food noise is still there (spent 3 hours fixating on a slice of sourdough toast last night 🙄) and the scales have stalled out. Think I've probably got another couple of days before I have to decide, so will see how I feel by Friday.

I'm only on 3rd week of 2.5mg, I could easily only take 700 cals (and have some days), and I am having to actively push myself to get over 1,000 cals a day.

I find making sure I eat 3 well spaced out meals a day helps and a couple of snacks such as nuts (a small 25g portion of Graze Chilli and Lime will bump up calorie intake by 150 cals and give you another 5g of protein) and clear protein (not filling, just like drinking juice) drinks in-between.

I bought a starter pack with a 2.5mg and 5mg pen and thinking I will probably use less clicks and stick with the 2.5mg if I keep feeling this way. I don't feel I am missing out not using the full 5mg as the pens are the same price, and I can increase mid month if I feel the effect is wearing off.

I had my third dose of 2.5mg last night and I couldn't finish my breakfast this morning.
That's unheard of in this house.

I always have two pieces of toast and marmalade and I could only eat two thirds of it.

I was trying to plan dinner in my head, and I'm not interested. That's unusual, too.

Getting there.

Due to take my 7th dose later. I've done five of 2.5 and one at 3.75, but going to go for the full 5mg later.
Dp wants to see me inject for some reason, so I'll wait until he's home later. Glad he's finally taking an interest now he can see it's working. He's intrigued by it now.

SW 18st 6lb
CW 17st 0lb

Loss so far is 20lbs in 6 weeks.
Currently losing 3lb a week which I'm more than happy with. Feels not too extreme but more encouraging than 1lb a week when I usually diet.
Can't wait to see 16 stone something on the scales soon!

@Snozzlemaid ooh, seeing that different first number is great! Congrats, you've done so well!

I'm just about to see 16st 13lb.

It's so exciting!

Is anyone else sick of the FB page?

Just full of grumpy people and Mods who delete you if you post on the wrong bit.

Not to mention there are about a hundred posts from people saying exactly the same thing, over and over again. Can nobody read?

😂

I've not joined the Facebook page. What sort of thing does it cover?

I've been away on holiday for two weeks now and I'm not back home until Monday.

Two things: a) am surprised how weirded out I am by not being able to weigh myself and b) struggling to tell if I'm getting the balance right.

I've been averaging two-ish meals a day plus a glass or so of wine, so I think it should be fine. Have had one cake and some crisps and an ice lolly so hopefully not too extravagantly indulgent but I think I'd feel better if I could see that on the scales as well.

I know that not weighing myself tends to correspond with putting on weight so I think I need to work out how I'm going to deal with that longer term - though I'm very rarely away for this long so hopefully this is a one off and not something I need to worry about again.

I need to come off there. It's infuriating and making my blood pressure soar I'm sure.

@IReallyNeedThisToWork that is bloody brilliant! You must feel great

There's loads of codes on here. Can you use a different one every time you order ?
Just placed my first order and catching up on all the threads.

I have one if that's the case.

Use my code and you’ll get 15% off your first order at ZAVA: REFRFVYD
www.zavamed.com/uk/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=refer_a_friend
Maximum discount value: £30

im on the wegovy/mounjaro fb group but I’m not active. I agree re the same questions and grumpiness.

I’ll probably leave because unlike here it’s not anonymous, and as discussed before I don’t really want people knowing but if a friend joined the group it tells you who else is the group.

I just use the FB page to search for specific questions but actually most of them you can find on here now. I think it's a typical page which has got massive very very quickly and the mods can't keep up!

I'm due to do jab 4 tomorrow but I have a massive retirement do at work and I really want a glass or two of prosecco so I am going to jab Friday morning. When I post on here dying on Friday please don't say I told you so 😦

I've not joined the Facebook page. What sort of thing does it cover?

It's ridiculous. Almost every post says "I've just taken my first injection, wish me luck!"

There are also loads of posts about how to get the bonus dose out of the pen, and nearly as many saying they don't think they received the first dose, and posting a picture of their pen, with an obvious first dose missing.

You'd think people could just read the other ten million posts about their query.

There's loads of codes on here. Can you use a different one every time you order ?
No, the code is for your first order.

After that, you post your own code, and you get a discount for your next pen if someone uses it.

That's a shame , would be a great discount each time 🤣

No, it's good.

Enough people have used my code for me to get my next pen free now.

Decided eating out is a waste of time and money

Went out for lunch with family
Ate the starter of 5 prawns in a spicy tomato sauce and a teeny garlic crouton things but again the main just turned me totally off - had a couple of forks of pasta and left 95% of it and didn’t want to take it home either.

5 has deffo noticeably increased the feeling of fullness I don’t think I’ll be going up to 7.5 for a while

Oh my gosh, I'm not going to join that then. I don't think my blood pressure could cope.
