Moun-June-ers 2024 - Baggy Pants Brigade Ahoy!

[Callmejudith]

New thread to track our baggy pants progress

I injected into my arm today for the first time.
Still on 10mg. It's working well.
Have got my size 16 trousers out of the drawer. I'll be needing them soon.

@Sewfrickinamazeballs I don't go up when I changed but there was a drop down box to choose the strength I wanted so could have done. I had to provide a photo of the prescription label on the box from my last pen. I can only assume that if I'd tried to order a 15mg when my previous was 5mg, the prescribing pharmacist would have refused it!

@Callmejudith bloody hell! That's one heck of a weekend away!! 😂😂

@TheShellBeach let us know how it goes. I really felt a difference!

So, first official weigh in day since my holiday! I did weigh the morning I got home and had put on a pound which I was amazed by considering the wine/beer/gin consumption!😂

Fast 800 SW: 17 st 7lbs
Loss: 9lbs
MJ SW: 16st 12lb

Wk 1: -7
Wk 2: -4
Wk 3: -3
Wk 4: -2
Wk 5: -5
Wk 6: -1
Wk 7: -1
Wk 8: -6 (14st 11lbs!!!)
Wk 9: -3 (14st 8lbs)
Wk 10: 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ holiday
Wk 11: 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ holiday
Wk 12: -3

So I have lost an immense 35 lbs on MJ (44 overall!!!) which my brain has just realised is 2 1/2 stone! 😱 In 12 weeks!!!!

Whoop for the 16s! Brilliant!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork That is seriously impressive!

I normally ignore these viral clothing trends because they are “not for me” (being too fat). But I saw this article yesterday and thought sod it. I decided to see if I could pick up a pair of leopard print jeans somewhere.
I went out at lunchtime today and tried a few pairs of other jeans on too. Girls: I fit a size 12! I haven’t worn size 12 since my early 20s. The last time I was this weight (a couple of times in my 30s for not long) I did not fit size 12.
Several pairs of the jeans were comfortably 12s!
In the end I’ve bought a pair of size 14 in the leopard jeans I love, because they have not an ounce of give in them and my bum looks great in them and I still deserve to be comfortable in my clothes.

Oh yes I LOVE a pair of leopard jeans - eyeing up some myself! And WHOOP for size 12 - just brilliant

Let us know how you get on, I did my arm this week for the first time this week. It’s made a huge difference!

@VioletsHeart wow! Congrats on the 12s! You must feel incredible!

Flabbergasted and pleased as punch!

What was your starting weight?

I have a slightly weird issue/oddity that I wondered if anyone else has experienced?

I have lost about 3 stone now since last June, just under 2 of it on mounjaro. I am having a problem I don't remember from when I was last at this weight, I assume because I now do a lot more sport and exercise including weights compared to then.

The issue is that when I am sitting on uncushioned seats, if the seat is pushing into the back edge of my thigh it's giving me pins and needles and a dead leg. I assume I must be compressing my sciatic nerve but it's happening e.g. going to the loo, or perching on a tube seat with a rucksack on or similar.

I assume it's nothing dreadful and there's nothing much to be done, but I'm finding it really quite inconvenient! Seats are now also really uncomfortable in comparison to before but I figure I just have to suck that up.

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced it and if they have if there are any solutions?!

Yay @VioletsHeart for leopard jeans in a 12!!!

I'm nowhere near that. Still an 18. But I did buy a pair of leopard joggers in 14-16 the other day and they fit me fine! https://www.evans.co.uk/avenue-brown-jenny-print-full-length-trouser-p?]] I also bought a Popsy dress in a 16. I'm selling all my 18s now.

I am so close to 13st something - so close! I was 14st 0.8lb this morning.
The weight is creeping off now. But still coming down.

@Ineffable23 when I lost weight 10 years ago I definitely found some weird things with having no bum fat but not pins and needles. I would keep an eye on that for sure.

@thesugarbumfairy I love those trousers! So cool.

I jabbed this morning, first time I've not done it before bed, so let's see how that takes. I have definitely been having a bit more food the past week, nothing excessive just stuff like a yoghurt after dinner or an extra coffee. I need to just watch it doesn't get too much.

Crap I've just opened my latest box from Voy and it's a 7.5 pen. So to get a 2.5 I'm going to have to only do 0.15 ml aren't I? I need to rethink my micro dosing otherwise I'm going waaaaaay over the expiry time

No, 0.2ml.

It's a third of a dose.

A dose is 0.6ml. So to get 2.5mg from a 7.5mg pen, you need 0.2ml of MJ.

@Callmejudith can you send it back and ask for a 2.5mg pen, so you don't have to faff about?

Because in a 7.5mg pen there are 16 x 2.5mg doses of MJ.
That's including the bonus dose and the bit at the end.

16 weeks is much too long.

Man my maths is terrible! Thanks both. My plan is to micro dose 2.5 more than once a week but I need to write it all out on my calendar and see if I need to swap it.

Hey all- week 14 for me, and I'm 39lbs down.

I've gone from 17st 11 to 15st exactly.

Cannot wait to get to the 3 stone mark!!

Ok that didn't take long to work out - I'm sending it back and swapping

Week 14 for me too currently 35lb down but its weigh in day tomorrow! ☺️

I'm almost the same as you. Started at 17st 12lb.

I'm 15st 4lb now.

6lb to go! Then I can say I've lost 3st on MJ.

That's since June 30th.

Yes, good idea.
If you're going to micro-dose every few days, a 5mg pen is safer IMO.

Morning all!

End of week 13 weigh in!
SW: 13st 3.5
WI: 11st 2.5
GW: 10st 6?

Edging so close to the 10s I can almost taste it. I’m wondering if I should adjust my goal weight up a bit as I’ll be starting the gym soon and I notoriously do not lose weight when I go to the gym because it gives me a hunger I don’t think even MJ could fight.

Also, I split my last 5mg dose over two weeks (felt much better but also had way more to eat so I’m going to try doing the clicks to get 3mg) and the place I get my pens from NOTICED 😫 My order for another 5 pen got put on hold and they emailed me asking if I skipped a week because if so I’d need to go back to 2.5. I lied… said I usually order with a few weeks to go and left it a week later than usual… and the order went through. That said, it’s good motivation for this to be my last pen seeing as I’m so close to the finish line. I don’t think if I went back in 6-7 weeks asking for a 5 they’d believe me. Probably a good sign that they’re monitoring it.
