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

[Callmejudith]

New thread to track our baggy pants progress

Weigh day for me today 😊

SW: 22st 3.5lbs
CW: 20st 6.4lbs
GW: 14st 10lbs (for now)

3lb loss for me this week, which was a shock as I’ve had a couple of nights out, I’ve managed to avoid that since I started in June but I had to see people some time 😂 I’m going on an AI holiday in a week so I’m hoping I can have another good week now to build up a buffer! I’m really pleased with my progress in the last 2 months, I would love to lose another stone and a half before a weekend away with DH in December and that feels doable!

Well done @OrangeWire that’s a great loss I hope you have a fab holiday

Weigh in day for me too. Jab number 6. Doing 3.75 mg. Aiming to do 4 at 3.75 and one at 5 mg. This is because I’m going away for 3 weeks in September and stretching this months medication to 5 weeks means I’ll have doses to use whilst I’m away.
SW. 14.8 st
CW. 13.6 st
GW. 12.00 st
I may keep going until I get into the 11 stones as a bit of a buffer as I’m sure I’ll put a bit back on.

1 day later for my weight in as I forgot what day it was 🤦‍♀️😂

SW 12.4
CW 10.12
GW 9.13 (just want to be 9 something again)
Final GW 9.7 (ish if I can get there)

Week 6 and still well chuffed

@WeAllHaveWings thats good to know about doses.

My TDEE is currently 1820. When I get to my target weight it will be around 1500, this is based on sedentary. With exercise it could be 1790 but I’m not currently doing much.

Im 45, 5ft 5 and currently 13st10 (from 15st12), goal weigh is somewhere around 10st.

@OrangeWire excellent loss! Well done😁
@Bitezbabe great overall loss👍👍

Weigh on day for me too🙂 End of week 6 and first official week on 5mg and I officially love it! I know many seem to struggle on 5 but my body is doing cartwheels🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️ I have had no side effects over the last week other than that nasty taste which I have resigned myself to having permanently as long as I am taking MJ! Suppression is at a level where I am not hungry but can eat a reasonable amount of whatever I fancy. Very limited food noise towards the end of the week which shut down as soon as I was busy.

The only thing I don't really appear to have done this week is lose weight! 😂😂😂
BUT I did lose 5lbs last week on my 4.6 mistake dose so I reckon it's just things levelling out and it will move again soon👍

So, week 6 5mg

Fast800 SW: 17st 7lbs
MJ SW: 16st 12lbs
Week 1: -7
Week 2: -4
Week 3: -3
Week 4: -2
Week 5: -5
Week 6: -1

CW: 15st 4lbs

Still 4lbs to my first target and the weight I managed to get down to 4 years ago. Anything below that and I'll be the lightest I've been in about 15 years!! Will give it another week and then decide if I stay on 5 or move up

Just done my first 7.5mg. I am nervous all over again.

I have just gone up as I was getting into bad habits.

Well I just got back from a week on my hols and haven't lost anything, but I haven't gained either!
I didn't eat a lot, had only a few alcoholic drinks, and did a lot more walking than normal, (plus zip lining and paddleboarding!) but probably didn't drink enough water like I do at home (the fear of being needing a loo and not finding one in time - I'm that age!)
If I hadn't been on MJ though I would probably be 7lb heavier today.

I am desperate to cross into the next stone boundary (somewhere I haven't been for many years) but currently my body is telling me it wants to be 15st 1lb, and that's ok for now! I'm in week 9 and 1st 4lb down and my body does not let go of its fat without a fight - so I shall fight 😃

@achangeofnameisasgoodasarest I would say it's ok to use.

@Beeble21 I think I would go up in that circumstance or just go up to 6 as you say.

@locket2009 get yourself some charcoal tablets if you want to still drink a bit. They have saved me a few times.

@OrangeWire 3lbs is great well done

@Bitezbabe wow over a stone in 6 weeks is fabulous

@mcdle woah yours is also bloody brilliant in 6 weeks!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork that's awesome that you are getting suppression but no horrid side effects.

@coffeeandteav fingers crossed for 7.5!

@thesugarbumfairy I think it's great to go on holiday and not gain! And well done on the zip line!

If I have a 5mg pen but want to only have a 2.5mg dose, is it 30 clicks please can someone let me know?

So follow instructions for priming and the instead of turning the dial all the way 1, I just count the 30 clicks and inject from there?

@cappycap yes it is 30 clicks for a 5mg pen. On the main thread there is an image under the first post with a table on of all the clicks with various pen dosages.
Yes just count the 30 clicks and inject from there.

@cappycap yes, 30 clicks.

If you want different than the prescribed dose the maths is -

desired strength / pen strength * 60 clicks

Some examples with a 5mg pen

2.5 / 5 x 60=30 clicks

3.75 / 5 x 60=45 clicks

7.5 / 5 x 60=90 clicks (would need done with 2 injections or syringe)

Remember if you are doing smaller doses you still need to discard the pen after 30 days from first use.

I am feeling a bit spaced out this week. I need to eat more but when I do I feel so bleurgh.

@fairydust11 @WeAllHaveWings

Thank you both very much!

I took a 2 week break from my 2.5mg pen after only my 3rd injection so that pen had to go in the bin, but I had a 5mg pen ready, so as I'm having to start again I thought as they are the same price I will just do 4 weeks of 2.5mg from the 5mg pen as I already have it.

Thanks again

@Callmejudith yuck! That's horrible! I was a bit like that some days last week. I resorted to eating strawberries which were delicious and gave me a bit of a sugar boost without making uncomfortably full.

I just keep forgetting to eat really which is crazy. I was meaning to go to Tesco and grab something then before I knew it it was 6.30. I had a grenade bar and went to play some sport but I need to grab a sandwich as soon as I’m near home.

Let us know how you get on! I'm a bit anxious to move up, think I'll be doing another 5mg pen this month

I was really sick this evening so I’m hoping it’s nothing to do with the jabs. I felt I may have over eaten at dinner a little bit but wasn’t sure if I’d just eaten too quickly as my baby was fussing with her dad and I wanted to get to her. Feeling absolutely fine after throwing up but making sure to drink lots of water. Hopefully this is a one off and doesn’t happen again!

Back from a few more days away. Missed jab day yesterday, will do it today. It will be my first 7.5, eek!

SW 17st 7.4
CW 15st 9.1

Loss this week (and a day) 5lb 3!

Hope everyone has been having a good week.

@Lovingeveryrainbow

Well my usual pattern of feeling sick as a dog when I move up doses is staying consistent.

I am lucky I am off work. I am just lying in bed at the moment as I feel so queasy. The thought of my usual coffee is bleugh.

But then I couldn't stay on 5 as it was wearing off quickly and bad habits were creeping in. I need to do work on bad habits.

Weigh in day for me after my week 5 bonus dose and I’ve had my first little “whoosh” which has taken my BMI down to 29.4. I’m no longer obese! 🎉 😍

Starting weight - 184.5 lb
week 2 - 181.8 lb
week 3 - 178.6 lb
week 4 - 175 lb
week 5 - 169.4 lb

I'm surprised as I’ve had hunger and food noise this week and wondered if I hadn’t administered my bonus dose properly (I used the hard twist method). I’ve managed an average of 1,224 cals a day this week. I haven’t started any exercise yet, but aim to start using my walking pad and doing some weights now.

Hi loves - can I ask what those ahead of me have done regarding the extra 5th dose? Have you forced the pen and managed to get it out or used a syringe? Dose 3 for me later on today so trying to work out what to order in time for the 5th!

I tried the hard twist for 2.5 and broke the pen so had to abandon. Used a syringe for the 5mg and it worked. I had a slight bruise though on my stomach but nothing bad.

My friend sent me this article from the fail. I apologise for the fail link. I know its ozempic and not MJ but such negative media at the
moment.
