Mounjaro September Support

[poppy80]

I've just started this morning after months of research. Feeling nervous but excited. Any other new or existing users want to join support and share successes?

End of second week and another 3lb gone - half a stone in total!

Feeling more positive than I have done in months and months 🤩 Definitely feel I could go up to 5mg now but will just have to wait patiently and trust in the process.

SW 18st
CW 17st 7lb
GW 11st

Is it my imagination - I feel my necklace is hanging a little lower!

2nd Injection done last night. Did it in thigh this time and no mark, unlike giant bruise on stomach! Feeling queasy this morning but last week that passed after the first morning.

1st Week - 8lb loss
GW- 10s-10s7
I feel so happy with that and both my mum and dad both have commented that I look like I've lost weight. Hoping I can continue on this track this week, although not expecting such a big loss.

That's a great loss @jollyfedup - I started on Saturday and am already 4.6lbs down which I can't quite believe.

It was interesting to observe yesterday that I felt a bit hungry at lunchtime, and started to panic it was all "wearing off", but once I'd eaten that subsided and I wasn't interested in food again until 7pm.

Baked banana bread yesterday and wasn't tempted at all which feels like a miracle - it would normally be calling for me from the cake tin!

@jollyfedup amazing first week. Congratulations.

Well done on your losses everyone!

Weigh in day is Thursday for me officially so far it's looking good from my daily checks so I'm excited to see how it ends up.

That describes me after one day. I think about eating and then I'm like "nah".
I didn't have dinner after work last night so I've made sure to have a big breakfast of scrambled eggs and tinned tomatoes so I don't pass out! I wasn't hungry though, could easily have skipped it.

Some amazing losses here! I took my first dose yesterday and felt a bit weird, but feel completely normal today and still getting hungry, can eat as normal. I'm guessing I'm one of the ones for whom 2.5 is just a getting used to it dose.

@Beynac same here. On the plus side I have no nasty side effect (as yet) but I am not noticing any suppression either. Taste buds are definitely enhanced though.

@Morecoffeeforme my husband is similar, just needs to think about losing weight and it happens. Very annoying!

I did it! I did my first injection at 11 today.
Didn't hurt as much as I thought it would but I had to psych myself up!
How soon did those of you that got side effects start feeling them? I swear I already feel nauseous but might be all in my head 😂

For anyone who is a visual learner, I really like this equivalency list when I'm losing weight. It helps put into perspective what I've lost, even if I struggle to see it in the mirror.

I've lost a bald eagle since I first weighed on 19th August.

Hey, I'm aiming to lose somewhere in the region of an Elephant Penis 😂

Jealous, I've only got a small bale of hay to lose. That's much less impressive. 😂

This is brilliant! I need to lose an Irish Setter and am hopeful that I have lost a human head!

I've lost a chihuahua and I'm aiming for approximately an elephant's heart!

I need to lose a 2 month old horse!!
Jeez
I'm struggling this first week. Feel grim today and a bit constipated. I'm hungry but not hungry. I started Friday and don't think I have lost much 😫

De-lurking as injected this morning for the first time. Surely psychosomatic but I already feel full?!

A long road ahead…
Some amazing results on here already, looking forward to checking in with you all.

Exactly the same as me 😂.

Day two here and need to lose the visual equivalent of a bald eagle.. feeling flu-ey is the only way to describe my symptoms. No hunger pangs at all, having to force myself to eat and (sorry!) not pooed yet :-( might need to invest in some Senokot. Also have a very dry mouth but have drunk 2lts of water so far...,

Day 5 of week 2 feelung hungry today after lunch (chicken breast and peas) so ate a small bowl of doretos which did the trick! Had email about my next order but not sure wether to go up to 5 🤔

Batch cooked a beef casserole this morning and had a portion of that for my lunch today, light on meat and heavy on onion, mushrooms, carrots and tinned tomatoes so each portion is 220cals.

Had a portion for lunch, a couple of portions in the fridge for the next few days and the leftover in the freezer.

Had dose 1 last Thursday evening and feeling a little hungrier today than I was yesterday so might be starting to wear off a bit. Been eating low carb for 3 and a half weeks though which in itself tends to lower my appetite so still doing OK.

Loss so far is just over 12lbs

I’ve lost a Koala!

Aiming for between a human leg and an A/C unit depending on what feels right.

Hilarious I want to lose an elephants penis too

Who wouldn't!
