About to start, anyone else?

[happygertie]

I have just placed my order with Cloud Pharmacy so hoping to start next week sometime. Anyone planning to start around the same time?

I can't wait to get going. I have a busy week with work ahead of me, which is worrying me a bit if I get any side effects, but don't want to keep putting it off.

Yes me! My pen is on way from Boy so aiming to start next week!

Good luck!

Voy not boy

Me! Just placed my order but I'm away until Wednesday so planning on starting at the end of the week, depending on how long it takes them to process my order. I am really hoping this will work for me as I've been up and down with my weight my whole adult life but now weigh the most I ever have so something needs to be done!

I started on weds so only a week ahead. One piece of advice - don't fall into the trap of 'waiting' for or expecting symptoms - I haven't had any with my first (apart from appetite suppression!) I feel energetic and positive. I've eaten clean, no refined carbs (only 2 glasses wine!) Taking it jab by jab.
I'm steering clear of the facebook group as it feels pretty negative and gloomy to me as a newbie. Seems a much better energy here.
Good luck :)

I started yesterday 😊 no side effects at all at the moment. Not sure whether my appetite is reduced yet. I don’t feel hungry but I do quite often have non hungry days

I’m taking my first injection today! A little bit nervous but excited for the weight loss. Just so exhausted with constantly yo-yo dieting and being unhappy with my weight.

I second this @AdeloreSmore the Facebook groups look supportive but there seems to be a lot of scary stories on there regarding dosage increases and side effects.

Congratulations on making the decision ❤️ best thing I've ever done for myself!

I really can't wait. I put off ordering for weeks as it is such a huge commitment but when I got weighed I knew I had to do something about it. It has been creeping up for years and although I knew I had put on weight I almost felt blind to it until now.

I don't think I will ever be slim, but if I can get healthier I will be happy

I plan to swim and walk as my exercise. I can't afford gym along side paying for the injection's. My friend has a massive indoor swimming pool that I can use as and when I want.

Has anyone thought about what meals they plan to eat - it sounds like it is important to make sure we are eating enough but also keep it healthy.

@cosylife good luck with the injection. Let us know how it goes and how you feel over the next few days

It's exciting. God luck too. I hope we all do great on it

@AdeloreSmore are you doing weekly weigh ins, do you know if you have lost in your first week?

@NewLifter do you mind me asking how long you have been on it ? Is in mounjaro?

Do you weigh in each week? Month?

I did my first jab on weds eve so will weigh Weds morning and do 2nd jab. Am intrigued to weigh and holding off at the mo 😆
I have managed at least 3 litres water a day, but - I have been on leave so will be more difficult next week!
I've managed to get my protein in everyday - chicken/eggs/fish- not been hungry enough to crave bread (which is my weakness every diet 😆) I just feel I want to eat the good stuff at the mo.
Just learning as I go what will work for me i guess.

@AdeloreSmore sounds great as I bloody love bread. I am hoping to do my jab Wednesday, as it should arrive Tuesday.

I am going to need to be organised for work as it is quite stressful at the minute, I need to remember to take lunch and healthy snacks and get my water intake in. Are you aiming for a certain amount of protein ? I have heard 100g, which I feel I might struggle with.

Good luck everyone, feeling bit rough this week so will give it a few more days, but looking forward to getting started

Took my first one (mounjaro) on Friday. No serious side effects so far. Definitely feeling some suppression.

Looking to lose 3 stone.

Me. Ordered through Voy today.
im away at the end of the week though so planning to start next Saturday when I get back ☺️

I used a TDEE calculator - that gives you your daily calories - of which you minus 500 for your daily allowance and the protein in grams that you'll need.
I'm aiming for 90g protein a day.
Disclaimer I read up on this and am trying it myself!!
