What’s your Start+Current weight, dosage and time on injections?

[MooFroo]

Hi all

been reading threads and trying to take it all in!

Orderd MJ through VOYwhich arrived yesterday and is 2.5mg
I’ll be starting in a few days when I’m off antibiotics

I have been so inspired by people have shared their stats and even photos - some amazing transformations! And lots of readers help me have ask the same questions of the OP as we all want to know the same kind of thing so thought it would be great to see who is happy to share the stats of their journey so far?

• Start weight and Start Date
• Current weight and how many weeks/months it took from start date
• Dosage stats - what mg and when you changed doses
• any specific diet followed
• what exercise, if any, are you doing
• Any top tips or advice you’d like to share about your journey so far

Would be great to see lots of real life current stats here so we can see in one place how it’s working for real users - Thank you so much to anyone who contributes!

@MooFroo the dosages are really easy to follow and I've support from my husband and adult children in the house but I had been away for the weekend which would usually result in me binging and then giving up on any diet so I panicked and took the higher dose which was stupid as I really stuck to healthy eating when away.

It's just such a strange feeling once you start the injections if you have years of distorted eating and yo-yo dieting to unpick.

As well as eating much less I'm actually craving lean meats and fruit/veg when I do eat. I've hardly touched a carb since I started.

@Newme24 well done - almost 2 stone off in 2 months! Love that you don’t want any biscuits or choccies - they are definitely my danger foods!

Lovely to hear the real impact MJ has had on you and your life overall- think that’s the real win, it’s not just about losing weight - it is genuinely changing your life for the better.

So happy to hear how well it’s working for you and hope it only fetes better x

@MooFroo a discount code would be very welcome thank you

• Start weight and Start Date - SW 18st 6lbs, 29th May 2024
• Current weight and how many weeks/months it took from start date - CW 16st 9lbs

• what exercise, if any, are you doing - none so far, aiming to start swimming when I'm brave enough to be seen in a swimming costume again.

SW- 16st 8lbs on 1 March 24
CW- 13st 6lbs on 28 July 24
Started as a size 22, now 18 (16 on a good day!)

Taking Wegovy, currently on 1.0. I was on 1.7 for 3 weeks but the nausea was terrible so I think I need to build up slower.

I've found the food element tough as I often don't feel like eating, so cooking is a challenge. I'm hoping that will improve as I've had to give up my job and go back to being a SAHM so will have more time to think about it! The reduction in food noise has been life-changing though. I don't think I realised how unhappy I had been, for a very long time.

I walk lots as I don't drive and am hoping to build up exercise but currently suffering a bit with an old foot injury.

SW: 16st3lbs
CW: 14st13lbs
Time: 5 weeks (due my 2nd dose of month 2 tomorrow)
Dose: 2.5mg

I lost 17lbs in the first 4 weeks and only 1lb last week but I've read it can plateau for a bit I think?

I do crossfit 3 times a week (have done since Jan) and I am training for a half marathon so also running 2/3 times a week.

I'd like the pace to pick up as I have 6 stone to lose, but overall happy with progress so far.

Start weight : 15 stone 2
Start date: 27th Feb
Current weight: 11 stone 3 - been on it nearly 22 weeks.
I am currently on 12.5mg, went up a week ago. I’m nearly at goal weight (10 stone 10), so I’ll finish this pen then go back down them slowly.

No specific diet followed, just healthier eating and less snacking.

Exercise wise I play netball for roughly an hour twice a week.

No top tips really, I’ve had no side effects luckily! It’s just completely got rid of the food noise for me and I feel full much quicker. I’m not planning on coming off it too quickly, and may see if I can stay on a low maintenance dose (5mg) for a while.

@Snozzlemaid thats a huge loss- 2stone in 2 months!! Bet you feel amazing 👏🏼
great weather for swimming - I’m hoping to start next week at the local pool too

@EvenLess 3 stone and 3 dress sizes in 4 months if life changing! Hope you’re feeling amazing 👏🏼

im looking forward to the not thinking about food. Just went to the shop for bread and automatically went to pick up a large pack of crisps - talked myself into putting it back in prep for starting mounjaro in a few days! So much mindless eating over the years

Wow @April88 - amazing results in less than 6 months!

how do you feel about maintaining?

Start weight 13st 5lb 10 weeks ago

current weight 11st 9lb

average weight loss 2.5lb a week

im still taking only 5mg as struggle with the side effects and getting decent weight loss

im calorie counting and trying to keep my protein high. Exercise wise I’m a regular runner but currently very slow. This week im starting strength training and have some pt booked.

Thank you! I lost around 1.5 stone before starting so I’m just over 5.5 stone down and the aim is 6 stone.

Nervous! I really don’t want to pile it all back on. The pharmacy I use will prescribe for 2 years so I’m going to come down a dose at a time and then stay on 5mg for as long as I need.

Well done @LoveSandbanks Great effort so far!
Hope the side effects aren’t too bad and you feel better soon x

Sounds like a sensible plan, wish you all the best with it x
