Starting mounjaro 15th July, anyone else?

[ToriMJ]

It's in the fridge and I'm going to take the plunge on Monday!
Feeling really nervous about it all. Anyone due to start next week too?

I think it's dose. You've not hit your therapeutic dose yet. Because once you do the food noise goes. I never ate for hunger- boredom, habit, craving, but very rarely actual hunger.

@DamnItBetsy
I've read somewhere that mj helps to reset that weight which your body wants to settle at.
I've definitely felt myself develop a 'default' weight over the years. It was 12 1/2 st bmi 32 for a long time, now it's 14st which is bmi 35. I'd like it to be more like 11st bmi 30. I don't think I've ever been a slim person bar one year when I had roaring success with Atkins but gradually put it all back on as I had no idea how to maintain it.

I got to 70kgs!!

Finally. Was stuck but
Then the scales shifted 0.4 of a kilo.

Cant wait Until I get to under 70!!

Last night was out AGAIN! It's been a Social Few Weeks

I Stuck to a steak. Salad No chips. 3 Onion rings and a starter of 300 Cals. It was a deal that included a starter so yesterday I had around 1500 Cals and the Scales shifted.

Sometimes I think we can eat too Little .

I'm happy. I have 6 kilos to goal weight.

Amazing!

@ToriMJ
Thanks 😊

Morning - so 3rd injection just had. Won't let me click above one which is annoying. Just locked out. Maybe just a voy thing..

CW 13 8. Tough week as only lost 2 pounds but I've been on nights and barely slept and the heat always makes me retain water so hopefully still on for the stone in 4 weeks.

@Marmalade100 what do you mean "click above 1"? I thought you just prime it till you get a bead of liquid, then pull it out to 1 each time you do a jab and then push it all the way back in again. (Am also with voy)

I did my Friday weigh-in today and am down another 0.5kg, so 4kg since I started. I'm pretty sure at least half of that is water as I've been drinking like a fish but even so I'm absolutely delighted.

I'm certainly eating differently though, yesterday I had yoghurt and fruit for breakfast and chicken drumsticks and roast mediterranean veg for dinner and genuinely felt stuffed. Portion sizes half of what they'd usually be, no snacking, no boredom grazing. A real wake-up all about how much I'd been eating before, like @DamnItBetsy I really love my food and it really was just eating too much of lots of very tasty food that helped all this weight pile on. I just can't ever go back to those quantities - I need to make these portion sizes and habits permanent.

Apparently there's more medication than 4 doses so was going to up my last dose to get ready for the 5, if you keep turning it brings out more medication. \didn't work on my pen though

Yes it's def an eye opener. I'd often go back for a little second helping, and mindlessly snack through the day. Far too much food.
Hopefully the new habits will become forever habits.

@Marmalade100 ohh I see the "bonus dose" - yeah I saw some people say that they couldn't do it with their hands and they had to use pliers to get the pen to "break" somehow and it was easier use an insulin syringe to extract the rest. I'm not brave enough to do it I don't think!

No I know haha - I'm just about ok for the pen but not sure I could do a bigger needle !

I’ve been away camping with large group, cooking huge amounts, puddings, biscuits, cake, but the food noise is gone and saying no is easy. No real side effects yet, avoid fat, sugar, fried foods, takeaways etc
its harder for me to eat regularly enough, I have some drinks so will try 1 today.

4th jab today 2.5

sw 118.1 kg
cw 111.3kg
gw 70kg

happy with that loss, it’s just over 1stone in 3 weeks. Many more to go.

Wowser, great loss well done

Thank you @ToriMJ

Took 3rd jab at around 11.30... dry mouth and furry tongue started within the hour 😂. Waves of nausea starting to hit too, just as I was feeling better from last weeks dose.... does this ever end?!

Well you're a bunch of losers 😆 well done all

Crikey, well fucking done 👍👍👍

I think socialising or eating in large groups is very difficult as they all can eat more and normal food whereas I'm hunting down lettuce 😆 and not having a piece of birthday cake etc

End of week 2 and I have lost 4.4lbs in total. I’m happy with that.

SW 12st 1.8

This drug is wizardry

I manage to stick to
1 glass aperol
1 sausage
2 chicken wings
And salad and a small piece bread
Bit of pasta salad.

Few Breadsticks

This is amazing

I wasn't Bothered
And Did not feel I
Was Hard done By

I lost another .3 of a kilo.

Now under the 11stone mark!!
Almost at My Half way
Point.

Crazy

Massive clap
To all you
Losers out there. Xx

I have just ordered my 2nd months supply from Medexpress however had no response after 48hours only being reviewed, is this normal , they have taken the money

Hey all, my first pen is sitting in my fridge. Im
tempted to start this evening but I’ve been to a bbq this afternoon so I’ve had burger, sausage, quiche, birthday cake, cheese cake, chocolate…all the fatty stuff!

Do you think I would be ok to take this tonight still or should I wait until
tomorrow?

I’d probably wait until tomorrow, you don’t want your first night to be one of gassy burps and heartburn - better to take it on a day of healthy eating to give yourself the best possible chance of a positive experience!

If it was me I'd wait. I find fatty meat gives me an iffy tum.
