@Sewfrickinamazeballs I've got Rheal clean greens. Bought a box of 10 servings in Sainsbury's and have now bought a whole tub. I mix it with about 600ml of water and the house of half a lemon and then pop it in the fridge to make sure it really cold.

I was looking at others before I bought the big tub and other places do flavoured ones but had sucralose in which I’m avoiding so I stuck with Rheal.

First dose of 10mg today as I didn't really feel the 7.5mg was working, but it must have been working expecially the bonus as just had a whoosh of 3.4lbs this week!

SW 252.6 lb
CW 217 lb
Total loss: 35.6 lb

2.5 stone in 4 months - I'm delighted with that

TheShellBeach · 26/09/2024 10:26

Well done @Megarea that's brilliant!

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 26/09/2024 11:04

@Megarea fab whoosh! Well done 😁 10 seems slightly terrifying at the moment😬 Cannot imagine being on twice the dose I am now. This journey is certainly different to what I expected!

Itsacrazyworldisntit · 26/09/2024 11:05

Fabulous @Megarea I bet you look fantastic!

Itsacrazyworldisntit · 26/09/2024 11:07

@QueenEthelTheMagnificent they say to only move up if you aren’t losing. I would stay with your current dose if it’s working ☺️

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 26/09/2024 11:16

@Megarea love the whoosh! Well done.

Sewfrickinamazeballs · 26/09/2024 11:21

I lost 3.9 this week, so pleased. I'm storming through the 14's so now I am 14st 3.6 from a SW of 17st 7.4.

I still don't feel any major body differences, just bough some more size 18 stuff so will try that on tomorrow. I don't think I have an ability to see what my body looks like properly. I might take a photo later and compare to the one I sent Voy at the beginning. I have had to get a little spacer for my wedding ring as it was close to falling off, so I know I have changed. Still, not one person has commented ConfusedHmm

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 26/09/2024 11:35

@Sewfrickinamazeballs I really don't think people feel comfortable commenting. My only friend who knows about MJ was talking about a friend of hers and how much weight she had lost and how quickly and that she was worried she had cancer so had t said anything.

I said she was likely to be taking a GLP1! It was slightly helped by the fact I had said said person as a member of an MJ fb group 😃

TheShellBeach · 26/09/2024 12:01

OMG those MJ FB pages!
They're insane.

Nobody seems capable of reading anything. They just start post after post saying the same thing.

Megarea · 26/09/2024 12:16

Thanks @TheShellBeach @IReallyNeedThisToWork @Itsacrazyworldisntit @Sewfrickinamazeballs !
I saw a pic of myself from last year on my memories and I swear I didn't realise how much I'd lost round my face and neck, I look like a different person.

I have had a lot of positive comments but I'm lucky enough to be able to be open about mounjaro with the people around me and I think that encourages comments - no one's unsure fif they should say something if you know what I mean? I've only had positive reasctions but I know plenty of people have lots of nasty things to say about mounjaro - you only have to read any thread online to see it!

Also that's phenomenal @Sewfrickinamazeballs I'm looking forward to the 14s!

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 26/09/2024 21:28

Weigh day today. I keep thinking the 5mg is losing its power but the scales say different!

I did drive past a McDonalds earlier and have strangely lustful thoughts about a Big Mac so, whilst the suppression etc is ok at the moment, the food noise could be creeping back!

I've hit a couple of personal targets this week😁 4lbs down this morning which means I have hit the 3 stone loss on MJ and I am also into the 13s!!! 🎉👍🎉

Fast 800 SW: 17 st 7lbs
MJ SW: 16st 12lbs
CW: 13st 12lbs

JomonotFomo · 27/09/2024 08:22

Great work @IReallyNeedThisToWork What an amazing week!! i am still on 5 too.

I have weighed in today too. 4months since I started.

SW 15st12
CW 12st 7.5
total loss is 46.5lb or 3st 4.5lb.

Ive continued to order 5mg because it’s coming off well still and I cannot cope with the burps and diarrhoea when I up.

I think I have maybe 2st left to target. I haven’t ever got to target before in life!!! Must keep going!!!

Bitezbabe · 27/09/2024 08:25

Home from 3 weeks in Turkey later today. No idea what the scales will show. Definitely have been eating more the last week. Had my jab of 5 mg yesterday and have another 5 mo pen at home in fridge. Fingers crossed I won’t be too upset when I get on scales tomorrow morning.
One not so good NSV was whilst on a boat trip my engagement ring slipped off my finger. 😩. I had noticed my rings were looser but was pretty devastated ( I’ve had it for 48 years). Luckily a nice young man dived down and managed to rescue it before it was lost forever. 🙏🙏

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 27/09/2024 08:35

@JomonotFomo great going, well done!!
@Bitezbabe hope you've had the most amazing time! I cannot believe said young man managed to find your ring!! Have lost many things over the sides of boats in Turkey over the years 😂 Hope you have a painless journey home and good luck for the scales 👍

Bitezbabe · 27/09/2024 08:44

I know I was so lucky. I hadn’t moved from the spot where it slipped off and I think if he’d waited a moment longer it would have sunk into the sand. Best of days spent on the sea in Turkey.

JomonotFomo · 28/09/2024 08:59

Ooh that is so lucky @Bitezbabe

Hope everyone is well? I’ve been so poorly this week, totally unrelated to MJ - back to school lurgy!!

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 28/09/2024 09:02

Sorry to hear that @JomonotFomo 😔 I have been too despite no longer working in a school or having school age children! 😂 Must be the change of season

daffodilandtulip · 28/09/2024 09:05

Week 15 weigh in and my usual 2lbs off. Sticking with the 7.5 again next time as I'm happy with this steady loss and it's still working.

SW 13st 7lbs BMI 36.9
CW 11st 3lbs BMI 30.7

Total loss: 32lbs!!
Total body weight lost: 17% 😯

I can't believe that next month I'll be in the 10s. And overweight not obese! The last time I was 10 stone would have been 2016 and that was only due to a very stressful life period.

Snozzlemaid · 28/09/2024 10:35

I lost another 2 lbs this week on weigh in day on Wednesday.
I weigh daily and am now so very close to dropping into next stone range.
Yesterday I was 15st 0.5lbs
This morning 15st 0.3lbs

So so close and very excited to see 14 on my scales.
I was last at this weight in 2016 when I had my gallbladder removed.

Bitezbabe · 28/09/2024 11:19

Weigh in this am after 3 weeks on holiday. Stayed the same. 👏👏 Pleased with that as I did treat myself quite often to pizza, pasta and cocktails. Hopefully will start to see scales moving again now I’m back.

Well done.

I gained 1lb after a holiday of eating ice cream. It soon came off again though.

Pashazade · 28/09/2024 12:23

Are people keeping on with the injections whilst away or stopping? I've got a long weekend just away after I'm due to start the next pen and I don't know whether to just to stop for a week or is that going to sabotage things?

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 28/09/2024 12:23

@Bitezbabe woohoo! Amazing! I know you were worried 😁
@daffodilandtulip loving your consistency 😁 are you struggling to get your head around the numbers at all? I am in the 13s now and it isn't computing! In my head I am 14 something 🤷‍♀️
@Snozzlemaid so exciting to see new numbers, well done!!
