Starting mounjaro 15th July, anyone else?

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?

Progress report 3 weeks in.

SW 105kg
CW 97kg

I've hesitated to post for the people having slower losses. Scales fluctuate massively, and I put 2kg on overnight during the week, so I don't trust that 97kg.

It's not been easy, and I've made conscious choices to avoid cake (slipped up 3 days), bread (3 days) and fatty stuff (1 day) and many days have kept calories under 1000. I've not drunk alcohol at all. Have survived hosting parties and provided yummy food for other people whilst avoiding eating much or being noticed.

Very few ill effects - only noticeable if I've eaten any contraband. Drinking loads and loads.

Last dose due, and I too think I'll stick to 2.5 because I've got a busy week ahead. I'm noticeably tired just after the jab and also when I'm restricting food. Very happy with that loss considering last week I lost under 1kg

SW: 112kg
Week 1: 108 kg
Week 2: 106.4 kg
Week 3: 104.6kg
GW: 85kg

Monday again, feeling pretty good as I head into my last week of 2.5. Am off on holiday on Thursday for 2 weeks and have decided to continue when I get back as I am on road trip with no refrigeration. Do I start on 2.5 again after a break? Need to find out!

It's been a really interesting week, have a lot of family staying with us and has been really boozy, I haven't really fancied it at all. I have always loved a pint of lager but had my first drink on Saturday night and it just didn't taste nice so I've stuck to fizzy water (which I love) with lots of ice and limes and I haven't missed it at all.

Definitely noticed less suppression but the food noise is still gone which is the key for me, I've mainly been eating lots of protein and salads as it's been too hot and have been sleeping so well.

Bit anxious about my holiday but I am trying to make a lifestyle change so that's going to have to be coped with afterwards, hopefully i don't go completely mad!!

I've had a coffee and a BO and now weigh 99.6kg. 🤣 Still a loss of just over 5 kg in 3 weeks so I'll have that. In response I jabbed 2.5mg and the bonus dose

Just about to inject week 4

Weight in: -11lb 😀

I can't see the difference yet, clothes still feel the same and still a long way to go, but I am soooo happy with that result!!

Wow amazing weeks and incredible losses!!
Well done!

Actually, doing this comparison, I can see a slight difference 😄👍😔

Red bra was the starting point!

How much do you think you jabbed this week? Did you do the hard click thing?

Yeah there's a definite change there! Well done

Good morning everyone, well done on all of the losses!

I think I'm starting too see a difference. I haven't weighed myself yet, trying to hold out until a full week. My jeans feel looser on the thighs. I'll be pretty ecstatic if the weight goes from my legs first, in the past that's the last place I lose.

I'm going to try and get some of the bonus dose this week in prep for 5mg next week. I'll give it a couple of days before ordering the next pen in case I find the side effects too much. I suppose I can always stay on 2.5

Down to 69.7 after a fairly
Lax weekend

Inj day today so I will knuckle down. No real social
Plans this week so I can really be strict. Going to try stick to 1000 Cals max till
Friday.

Went shopping yesterday and tried on a few things. Ended up buying
It all as it all looked good!!!
This is very unusual

MJ4 just done. New order payment is taken today for the 5mg. But nervous but we got through 2.5, we ca get through 5mg.

just over 9lb down, 4” off the waist. Not lost anything of any note this last week, although seem to have got the digestive system ticking over. Water, water and more water. And prunes 🤣.

Can’t really see anything in terms of change yet, but still excited about the path ahead

let’s have a great week this week 😘

@Monkeyseesmonkeydoesn

Definitely see a difference. Well done

I was 8lb down in my first two weeks which was clearly all water, but this week I'm scared to weigh myself. I've not over eaten, but just feel heavy 🤷‍♀️ I've noticed less suppression during week three and generally had around 1100 cals a day.

I'm wondering whether to ditch the scales all together as they are just a massive cause of anxiety. Anyone else have a stressful relationship with scales like this?! Or is it just me LOL

@ACEwards you can do this, I understand your anxiety but you only need to weigh in once a week and it is what it is. Weight will go up and down, but there will be a downward trend.

It’s not something to worry about, you’re doing something amazing for yourself. It may take some time but you’ll get there and you will become used to it. There’s nothing to be fearful of. (((Hug)))

I never used to weigh myself, I know how you feel, but we have to be accountable to ourselves

it’s our weight, our body and we are the only ones with a right to an opinion on it. Up or down, it’s our path. Don’t beat yourself up about any of this. You’re investing in yourself.

Fantastic news on the weight losses for you all 👏

Oooh let us know how it goes, are you our first dose increaser?

Well I have done week 4 injections, firstly 2.5mg as normal and then a bit more, not sure exactly how much, but somewhere between 2.5mg and 5mg as a step up to next week. Fingers crossed for a smooth week with better results than 2.5mg has resulted in.

@ACEwards Just stop weighing if it's not doing you good. I know what you mean - I am on holiday at the moment and it's so nice that I can't weigh every morning. If I were you I would focus on your eating behaviours each day and measure your progress away from the scales - did you overeat, did you eat nutritionally rich foods, did you treat yourself kindly, did you move your body etc etc

I've just ordered my 5mg too and am slightly nervous about it! Hopefully any side effects are manageable

Monkey that's amazing and you have more courage than me posting your pics but result clear.

I jabbed the usual dose in then hard clicked and injected nearly all what was left. Afterwards I panicked slightly as I realised there might be more than 2.5mg in there 😲 and wondered what I've done. Ah well....time will tell. That will teach me to not be impulsive

Thank you 😊

@Wishthiswasntmypost you might have a mega suppression week this week!
