Starting Mounjaro today!

[alinetokill]

Myself and my husband have started Mounjaro today.
Making this thread incase anyone wants to join us as new starters today.
Me: 5ft 3 16st 3lb goal weight: 9.8
Husband: 6ft 3, 18st 3, goal weight: 12st
We are really hoping to see a good loss at the beginning, and interested to see what happens to us side effect wise.
Usually when one or other of us is on a diet we end up derailing each other, but we've decided to do this together.
Stocked up on protein shakes, loperamide, anti sickness and gaviscon in case of side effects!

That’s good about not wanting much wine, I have night away planned so hoping can do that too ! Think I meant want to make sure get enough nutrients etc so started multivitamins today. Yes sure thin people eat like this and are fine. Yes agree about re training and better choices.

Wow @alinetokill thats is fantastic ! You must be so chuffed with that !!! Well done !!
first weigh day for me tomorrow and second dose

1 week done, lost 3 lbs very pleased with that tried everything since January and not lost only gained so very happy. Head is clear, no guilt from over eating, making healthy choices and back at the gym. Happy weekend 😀

Well done!
Onto the next week we go 💪

🎉💪👊👏

When you thinking of ordering new pen, place I ordered said need to do it 2 weeks before seems a bit early ?

As not sure if will go up on dose or remain on 2.5 for now, maybe will see how things are end of week 2.

Day 7.
2/4 of 2.5mg done yesterday.
Weigh in: 15.3 from 15.13, chuffed with that!

Slightly tricky day because I WAS NOT hungry and I really don't want to get into the habit of eating when I'm feeling full. I just don't know if im totally not used to the suppression yet or what's going on!
Saturdays are usually busier days for us because we have Pinky (6) and Perky (4) at home and they have various clubs on.
So didn't eat first thing, had half a latte at karate couldn't finish it.
Then got some picnic lunch but the kids stole most of it and picked up a coronation chicken pasta in Morrisons but it didn't have a spoon/fork. So I've just eaten that for dinner... can you believe the size of this (photo attached) says it's 5 servings... yes, probably if you're serving mice! That will teach me to look more carefully!
I also had a snack of some protein balls at around 4.
Totally full and feeling a bit "eurgh" now.
time for a cup of tea and bed!

I ordered both at the same time, so can't help you but if I don't want to go up, there's loads online about how many clicks to give you whatever dose x

Yes tricky that it seems wrong to do it eating when full, sounds like you doing your best to manage it and eating when you can. And eating the right stuff. It is hard when you have little ones life is hectic when they at that age to be organised. Amazing you couldn’t finish a latte. I had bowl fruit yesterday with yogurt but small portions eg half an apple etc. then couldn’t face tea DH was ordering takeaway so I had chicken sweetcorn soup enjoyed it guilt free ! Went to a party but drove there was pizza there didn’t fancy any of it. I am usually elbows out, first in buffet queue at any party !

Went out for food with friends today felt really hungry ordered Sunday Dinner only ended up eating the meat and veg couldn’t face the spuds or York puds came away feeling satisfied but not the usual stuffed sluggish feeling. Feel like am changing habits, thought was going to get comments from other people about why you not eating that etc but nobody said a word.

I'm on week 3 on 2.5mg and I've lost 16.5lbs I'm over the moon, had a bit of nausea but nothing too extreme. My head is clear, no food guilt and no food noise, I'm eating lovely evening meals, scrambled egg for breakfast and salad for lunch. Normally I'd be starving an hour after a salad but not now I'm full until about 7pm. Game changer for me

Day 8.
2/4 doses of 2.5mg
Starting weight: 15.13lb on the morning of injection, 16.3lb just a few days before!
Todays weight: 15.2lb

Today has been a quiet one, I've slept a lot.
Watched a couple of films with the kids.
Still not hungry...

Mango protein yoghurt at around 1pm.
Then red pepper and lentil soup with cottage cheese and a petit pan about 8pm.

Taken my electrolytes, my probiotics and my multivitamin.

Lots of cups of tea as always!
Think I'm beginning to look a bit slimmer round my face too - whoop! 😁😁

Day 9
2/4 doses of 2.5mg

Starting weight: 15.13lb

Todays weight: 15.2lb

I haven’t felt hungry again today (it is still so weird!) but we ate with the children so had chicken satay with sticky rice, peppers, onions and cucumber.
Taken my electrolytes, my probiotics and my multivitamin as always 🥰

Tea x 100,000,000.
Over and out.

I'm due week 2 injection tomorrow.
Definitely had a bit of hunger today but very easily satiated with tiny portions.
I had sneaky weigh in today ...
SW: 167.2 lbs
Today: 158.4 lbs.
Somewhat unbelievable...

I weighed myself at the gym today and the scales have just tipped under the 12 stone mark! Haven't been under 12 stone in years 😬

Loss is currently a fairly decent 2.5lbs or so a week. I realise that'll slow down though.

Well done everyone great losses !! And agree it is great not to feel usual guilt etc
just ordered my second pen, really wanted to see how long takes to get second one as wasn’t sure.
surprised that they went through all the questions again, is anyone using Asda and do they do this each time you order a pen ? Do they start asking for photos of weight again or was that just pre starting ?
I am sticking with 2.5 for now finding I have the appetite suppressant feeling enough so hope that continues. If not might have ordered pen too early. Enjoying going to the gym and not snacking at all which feels great. Someones Leaving do at work tomorrow they asking for food to be taken in would usually take junk but taking fruit.

Day 10.
2/4 doses of 2.5mg

Starting weight: 15.13lb
Todays weight: 15.0lb

Today I met a friend for brunch, it was really tricky to decide what to have because a) I didn’t feel hungry and b) I didn’t want to eat the wrong thing and set off side effects. So, with that in mind I had yoghurt with berries… of course I didn’t finish it!

Half a protein yoghurt for supper time.
Keep on drinking tea and water, but still feel quite “dry”.

Had my electrolytes, multivitamin and probiotics too, no idea if they make a difference but I’ll keep on with it for now.

Onward and downwards as they say!

Day 11.
2/4 doses of 2.5mg

Starting weight: 15.13lb
Todays weight: 14.13lb

{{HOLD THE PHONE!! HOW THE HELL HAVE I LOST A STONE?!!}}

Had a small supper of chicken breast, cottage cheese, boursain and some crackers. 3 squares of dairy milk too (it didn't taste like shit this time but I could have not eaten it!)
Had my electrolytes, multivitamin and probiotics too but later on in the day!

Injection on Friday, can feel some food noise slipping in!

Think it a good idea the vitamins probiotics etc I have some just got to remember to take them daily now ! Have natural pro bio yog too x

That’s a fabulous weight loss and hope you enjoyed the choc guilt free, think that what it’s all about a bit of stuff like that if you want it.
had a meal out yesterday had an amazing salad which would never choose but really enjoyed it. Had a very small
slice of cake first junk typer food have eaten in 2 weeks but enjoyed the small portion and felt satisfied. Defo changes bad habits and making better choices.
Maybe you getting the food noise as it near to injection day ? Are you planning to go up to 5 in 2 weeks ?

Day 12.
Very late - fell asleep with the kids 😂
Protein yoghurt and all my supplements with a cup of tea for breakfast!
Chicken, cottage cheese and crackers for supper.
Tomorrow is injection day which I'm glad for.

Day 11 today
Lost 11.8 lbs
Loving it ...ran 15 km this morning no problem despite only eating a bag of crisps and half a burrito yesterday
Today so far had two coffees, and a biscuit...

Had lunch out, had the soup never order soup ! Red pepper and tomato with a piece of bread and butter. It was amazing and loving making good choices.
defo feel like getting hunger pangs and ready for jab day tomorrow.
well done on your run @Theredjellybean

Happy Saturday ! Weigh in day really pleased 2 pounds away from getting into next stone which I have been trying to do since January but the scales never moved ! feel have eaten healthier than old habits but not felt deprived.
Off for a run now and hoping it will be easier carrying less weight !
Hope you all have good weekend and are doing ok.
