Thread 2, here we go!

Can I join you all? I missed the last thread. Just took my second dose of 2.5. Was on Wegovy for a few months last year but couldn’t afford it for a fair while so have had to go back to the beginning. Really want to focus more on healthy eating when I do eat.

Today - pumpkin soup, and maybe a jacket potato and salad.

My first ever pen should arrive at lunchtime.

annoyed at myself that it has some to this, but excited to get started.

starting weight is 12st 6. Which is far too heavy for my 5ft 1 frame.

In no huge rush to lose the weight - but would love to get into some of my nicer clothes for Christmas.

I’ve just finished my first week and I’ve lost 6lb and felt grand.
I do have 5 stone to lose tho so I’m here for the long haul. However I am hoping I continue to feel well and the scales go the right way.

I'm halfway through my second week. I started at 15 St 8 and lost 5lbs in my first week. Hoping to see the back of the 15s this week! I have a long way to go, but so far this seems really promising. I feel back in control of my eating again.

Marking my place for when the previous thread is full

@doodleschnoodle thanks for the new thread

@ILoveLeopard245 we are diet twins! I lost 6lbs in my first week and in it for the long haul too. I have been lucky to have no side effects so far.

Just took my first dose last night.

Slept awful. Full of anxiety. Feel nauseous but that could be because my period started this morning.

So feeling pretty shit but not necessarily mounjaro related!!

Start weight 11st9lbs

@Bellyblueboy you have very similar stats to me. I am 5ft exactly and starting weight was 12st 2lbs. I had my first dose on Tuesday and seems to be working well so far with minimal side effects. It is tough for us shorties to lose weight so I'm hoping this is the thing that finally works!

I'm in my second week and feel more relaxed about it. I was constantly analysing how I was feeling last week.
I lost 3lbs and those of you who are post menopausal will know that it comes off MUCH more slowly so I'm very happy with that.

Place marking.

I did that. I replaced the food noise with constant analysis of how I felt. I am due injection 4 on Tuesday and feeling much more relaxed.

Can I join you all too? I took my first 2.5 jab on Thursday evening. Yesterday I felt a little light-headed, had a bit of bloating, and reduced appetite but mostly ok - ate well with small portions of healthy choices. This morning I woke up early with a bad headache and have been quite nauseous. Drinking loads of water and have forced down some Greek yoghurt in case it's dehydration or blood sugar related. Hope my body adjusts soon as I need this to work!

I'm so curious to see if I get this 'reduced food noise'

I am such a snacker . It's not even hunger. It's just boredom and habit to go into he kitchen for biscuits and crisps. I don't even feel hungry

So I don't know if it will help me because it's not hunger :(

Hello 👋🏻
I took my first dose last night. I have been putting it off for ages as I've felt so anxious and potential side effects. However the weight wasn't shifting so I've decided to give it a go!
So far I'm feeling fine. I'm going to go and do a healthy food shop and then walk the dog.

It really does help with that sort of thing!

It definitely helped me.

I snacked less in the first week. Then it kind of just stopped without me thinking about it, in the second week.

I am a huge snacker. I would prefer to eat snacks and no meals. I used to snack because I was bored or stressed.

I ordered my second pen yesterday and went for 5 not 2.5. I'm regretting it now because I've suddenly got side effects from jab 3 and I feel rubbish. Woke up and was sick in the night, still feel sick and a headache and can't face eating anything. Hope that the side effects don't last too long.

I've read tou can count clicks and administer 2.5mg from a 5mg pen. But it's advised to still only use 4 doses as you aren't supposed to use it after 30 days

I'm back for thread 2. Been away for a few days and found it hard to stick to eating healthily. But with MJ I felt dreadful the next morning after eating a pizza and chocolate! So not expecting much weighing in on Monday. It'll be my last 2.5 jab before I move up, my delivery from medexpress already came so have it ready in the fridge.

4th injection tonight.
Had to get weighed at the GP on Wednesday and I was exactly 1 stone down. Was super pleased until the nurse lectured me about my weight. Good job I wasn't due my depo 3 weeks ago when I was a stone heavier!!
I've noticed that I get really hungry on a Thursday, then it tapers off again. I've managed 3 pieces of sushi for lunch today and can't face anything else.

Hi all!
my first one arrived today.
I am popping out in a bit and am planning to give it a go later this afternoon. I am a bit nervous. Mostly about potential nausea - I had awful HG in all three of my pregnancies and am scared to go back into that headspace.
It has been reassuring to read everyone’s
posts so far.

Hi everyone,

May I ask how you're getting your bonus doses? I asked Voy about ordering additional needles and they weren't helpful.

I had a long term afternoon tea booked ages ago at a fancy venue with other people and was able to eat / enjoy it and can tell the suppression has worn off (next dose tomorrow). I might swap days so that I'm taking the injection on a Friday as weekends are a bit trickier.

Checking in here. Just done job 3 on 2.5 and back from a week’s holiday to find I’d put on 2 lb! Didn’t feel like I overate much AT ALL though so a bit disappointed . Tho hoping that a few days of eating better / healthier(more veg for start!) will soon make it disappear!
