Mounjaro August thread 2

[DinnaeFashYersel]

Hi here's another thread.

Well done! Good luck with the next week.

Hi, did you start in August? I’m confused by the 10mg.

Some great losses. Well done

Jab 3 on Friday - guess I had better order a 5 for sept

Amazing losses! And yay for skinny wrists!

My secind jab was due yesterday. I want to move the injections closer to the weekend so was planning to take second one tonight, and the next on a Thursday and so on. But have just realised that tomorrow is my daughter’s birthday and it would be better to skip symptoms, so am going to aim straight for Friday. Yikes! I feel ok, no weight gain. It feels as if I still have some of the drug in my system.

2nd jab of 2.5 due today. I've lost 6lbs, minimal side effects, food noise and cravings still turned right down. I'm out college shopping with my daughter and usually I want to stop for cake and coffee constantly but I'm not bothered at all. Loving MJ. Well done everyone else. 👏

Well done on the losses everyone.

I’m on week 4 and have decided to increase to 5mg. I really wasn’t sure as my suppression has been good but I’ve had a few side effects. However, I’ve noticed that my hunger has increased and the food noise has returned so not sure my will power would survive another month of temptation!!

I’m with ZAVA and happy with their service. Planning to use the bonus dose next so not in a huge rush for the next pen.

My favourite jumper's too big!
I'm distraught and thrilled in equal measure.

It's gone on the ever-growing pile of clothes for the charity shop. I only got it in March!

Some fab losses! I had scrambled egg on toast for lunch and I’m stuffed now, having a lie down whilst the baby has his nap!

I'm on jab 3 and 11lb down. Hunger is intermittent. I feel hungry so start eating then either CBA to eat or feel full quickly. I'm prioritising protein and fruit. I've never been a 3 meals a day person but I think I'm going to try to eat little and often.

I've been lucky re lack of side effects so I've ordered my 5mg pen. I'm thinking that if it's too big a leap and had adverse side effects, I'll use that pen for smaller doses. Bit wasteful but I don't want to feel crappy.

Week 3, week 1 of new bolt pen and I'm going to do another 2.5 tomorrow. I really feel like 2.5 is starting to not have any effect for me

So, I made my mind up about the dosage of my next lot of jabs and I’m going up to 5mg. I take my third dose of 2.5 tomorrow evening and I’ll be surprised if I’d lost anything at the end of week 2 when I weight myself on Friday morning. I had a sneaky weigh in this morning and nothing seems to have moved but that’s ok. I know I’ve repeated my first week of menus this week and it is what it is. Im
still sticking to 1400 calories so it could be that there will still be a loss this week.

I've just had a bagel with cottage cheese and salad for lunch and I've had to lie down, I feel like I've eaten Christmas dinner!

@Pinkjenny I’ve been exactly the same since eating scrambled egg on toast this morning 😮‍💨

That was me last night after scrambled egg and bagel.

We can all be bona fide MN competitive under eaters at this rate!

I'm a bit worried though because my jeans don't feel significantly looser.

After five days

It's interesting reading about how anxious we all are when there aren't immediate and continual losses, even though we all know technically this is unlikely to be achievable or desirable. I feel exactly the same and have to keep talking to myself calmly. I have a very strong fuck it impulse that has made me give up on so many diets. In me, I think it's an inability to tolerate being in discomfort without trying to do something about it. I'm really trying to wait it out, because I think this probably extends further than my food behaviours.

Im not anxious. In fact it’s the opposite. I’m at peace with my weight loss efforts for the first time in years and I have a lovely spring in my step. I know I’m going to lose the weight. ❤️

I'm anxious. Anxious that this will be another thing that doesn't work.

I'm not anxious about the speed of weight loss, it's been about two pounds a week for the first three weeks, and i'd like it to stay at that level.

I really like how we can tweak the doses to get just the right amount of suppression so that we can eat properly.

I am anxious about a few things though, and I need to calm down and just enjoy the moment I suppose. I'm anxious about putting it on again when I can no longer take MJ and I'm anxious about loose skin, I'm 66 so not as elastic as I used to be.

However all the anxieties are worth it, and I will do all I can to reset my mind (and 60 odd yers of eating habits)

I am trying to learn from those of you who are not anxious :)

Rationally, I'm not anxious, and I think many logical thoughts. But then I have that prickle of anxiety that flares up. In week 1 I had great appetite suppression and really couldn't eat much, and I'd read people panicking about not seeing a loss every day or feeling a bit hungry, and I think well, of course - that's completely normal and to be expected. Towards the end of week 2, the appetite suppression and ability to eat have been slightly reduced - albeit still there, and I haven't overeaten - and I have to stop this big klaxon going off in my head that says I will fail and my last resort will be gone and I'll be bankrupt to boot. So MJ has helped with my food noise, but I have a lot of work to do on my tendency to catastrophise noise! Most of the time I feel fine, so it really catches me off guard when it leaps out at me.

I'm at week three and my hunger is definitely more prevalent but I can also say no more easily.

That's exactly how I feel.

I've even bought six new bras, the next size down. They're too small at the moment, but they will fit me in a few weeks.

I’m not sure who has used my referral code and whether this message would reach them (bit of a long shot!) but thanks so much! Hopefully they’ll share their journey soon x
