[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?

@gimmemounjaro this is what I am worried about that I am starving by end of week and undo the good days lol did you weigh before??

I had my intro call with my Voy coach tonight and she was really lovely. Very happy with the support from Voy so far.

This is Day 3 for me. I am still hungry goddammit! 😂

I started Wegovy! Eeek

This is how I've felt today.

Yes I weighed before, weighed this morning (day 3) and had lost 2.3lbs. But I have been peckish all afternoon and looking for things to eat 😔

It has been a bit of a stressful day so maybe that's it. Or maybe the lack of hunger on day 2 was a placebo effect and I just need to wait a bit and go up to 5mg.

My tracking email just arrived from royal
mail- will have my order by the morning!

@Aitchtee I got my tracking email as well! Fingers crossed will get my package in the morning (I say fingers crossed as I have to pop out for half an hour in the morning and I hope I don't miss the delivery!!

So exciting! Are you planning to start right away? I am. Our schools go back 4 weeks tomorrow so would be a good goal to say by then I’d like to have lost a stone at least!

@gimmemounjaro that's not good. Will you go up to 5mg next time you order?

@ilovethewild I too obsess but have been successful weighing every day....as long as I'm losing! Starving myself and not losing weight is horrible

@MzHz I have bought protein yoghurt for breakfast, hummus with peppers and carrots for lunch and dinner will be chicken/fish with salad or couscous. I've also bought mushrooms as I think they are high protein but to be fair...I don't really know!
My breakfast has flax and seeds to boost the protein.

I couldn't find needles with my delivery and was very frustrated. On rifling through the bin they were hidden in the defrosted packaging. Sterile covers so my bin exploration won't have harmed it

I've read some people saying they can't face food. I'm not ike this at all. But I'm not craving it. Every so often I fancy a snack but recognise its habit/boredom rather than hunger and its very easy today to ignore. Slightly concerned how quick this is wearing off for others

@Aitchtee yes I'm planning to get going with it right away. A stone in a month would be amazing wouldn't it?! I'm just hoping for any loss as I've had years of losing 7lbs and gaining 10 and really need something to work! Good luck x

It's early days yet @Wishthiswasntmypost

I was hoping to stay on a low dose but I think most do need to go up to 5mg at least.

I really have felt back to pre MJ urges for the last few hours. And actually, although not particularly hungry before that, I was still aware of food all the time, how long until the next meal etc.

I like fasting and usually go from dinner time to lunch the following day, I might try going a bit longer tomorrow, see how I feel.

@SJLO I heard protein does help with nausea and it was so bad this morning I want to avoid that at all costs 🤣

@Wishthiswasntmypost ive had protein yoghurt in the past actually, good call. Usually I’d have an egg, bit of protein toast, some ham and the chia pudding. Today I only had time for the chia pudding. I eat that for the fibre and it really helps with digestion

I made the juniper lentil tahini salad today, it’s very bland, but fine enough and I ate a few spoonfuls

also had a protein shake with some frozen banana whizzed in. Now an stuffed.

must remember to drink more water!

Good luck to you too! I’m exactly the same. I lose/gain over and over and I’m just sick of it! Sick of ‘feeling’ overweight even more so than looking it!

Scared to say it but feel totally fine this evening went a big walk with dogs and don't feel hungry. Had approx 1500kcals today between breakfast lunch and dinner. Totally off sweet stuff and thats my go to. What I will say is that I don't feel as if I've lost anything yet which is disappointing I love to feel like I'm losing. Going to weigh a couple of days early maybe Friday and hope for a loss! 2nd jag is Sunday. Hope everyone is feeling well tonight and not thinking about what's in the fridge 👀

I have just thought - my water intake has been poor today so will do better with that tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

Starving I had earlier subsided as soon as I looked at a biscuit. This is like magic stuff.

I'm recognising that I'm hungry but I think the magic is making me make good choices. I thought about snacks today and I didn't feel the urge to open the cupboard. Previously I wouldn't had ten snacks and justified it by skipping a main meal.

This is Voodoo.

*would have

My water intake needs to get better. I think we'll get in a routine soon enough.

I’ve just come back from a party that would have seen me all over the buffet in the past, but I had a spinach and feta omelet for dinner (much nicer than it sounds) and chose to drive and I just didn’t fancy anything. I had a glass of water and a nice chat and I felt fine. Also I am enjoying my food much more, I’m making really deliberately healthy choices to try and wean myself off the sugary salty foods that I usually crave. I am cautiously hopeful that this can work for me.

@Andywarholswig fab! Do you think healthy food tastes better on MJ or is it just me???

I've not noticed difference in food taste. Diet isn't hugely different, just smaller meals and cut out crap food. Drinking far more water

Just weighed and I've lost 0.9kg. Could be just a normal variation but I'll take it!

I've finished the day in about 700 cals.
A touch of indigestion again tonight but not wildly out of the normal for me.
Prob could have drunk a bit more but not too bad.
Feeling happy with day 2.

@SJLO yes! I really do think there is a difference- could be in my head but I will take it!
I’m dipping in and out of Ultra Processed People by Chris van Tulleken and Why We Eat Too Much by Andrew Jenkinson as I am try to reset my relationship with food and whole foods is definitely the way forward (imo)

Woke up feeling a bit sticky but turned out it was all the burps just waiting to come out
I do tend to be a bit burpy but this is def maxing that
