Week one weigh in joy

[Thehop]

I had my second MJ injection last night and my first weekly weigh in this morning: I've lost 10lbs!

i know it's water weight and only because I'm so big (I have 12 stone to lose) but I've never felt so in control of food. I don't want crisps, chocolate, treats or junk. Eating smaller portions and feeling full. It's amazing not to be thinking about snacks all the time!

im doing team RH too so keeping an eye on nutritional quality of what I eat in the hope of keeping this up once treatment ends. I even went for a short walk yesterday and have struggled with walking for so long.

i fee like I have a chance!

That's exactly how I feel.

I had 11 stone to lose. It seems impossible.

But I've lost 5st now.

You can do it!

Hello @Thehop I was in a similar position to you 12 weeks ago. I lost 9lbs in the first week, and have now lost 3st 9lbs. I have another 8 stone or so to go, but I now believe it's possible to get there.

There's a thread for people on weight loss injections with more than 5 stone to lose, maybe drop in and join us there?

thbak you both for posting. Lovely to feel part of a joint effort!

you e both inspired me massively with your losses.....bloody well done they're amazing! Super excited to join you....fingers crossed!

so I stay on 2.5ml if it's working welll?

If you want, you can.
I've actually gone up as far as 10mg and I think I'll stick to it, for now.

I'd wait till you have had all four weeks at 2.5mg plus the bonus dose, before you decide.

And do join one of the threads for the month you started your MJ. They're so supportive.

Aww well done. I can completely relate about not craving the treats like chocolate, crisps etc anymore. Yesterday I had a tomato as a snack. A tomato! I have barely eaten those in the last year compared to chocolate!

A tomato! Thy is indeed the snack of the skinny instagrammers haha! Well done you. I'm not there yet!

great advice she'll Thbak you. I'm unsure how to do the bonus dose, though, as I only got 4 needles

You need insulin syringes and needles.

That is amazing! Well done.

i am only on day 2, but it is going well. Don’t know why I was so scared to do this. I wish I had done it earlier.

Haha!

one thing I’d also recommend buying is a box of wipes. I have used MedExpress who only send 4 wipes per pen, but I like having extra on hand. They’re only around £3 on Amazon for the same quality.

I've just injected week two! I really didn't experience much appetite loss the first week. Also haven't lost any weight despite making better choices.

Can I join the chat please 🖐
SW: 19st 12lbs
CW: 18st 5lb

i started Wegovy in July but when I went to order my second pen I couldn’t get it due to stock levels so chose to switch to Mounjaro. After a 3 week break (in which time I went on holiday) in August to get the wegovy out of my system, I took my first injection of Mounjaro. I am 4 weeks in today and very happy. I can feel that I have lost weight and I can really see it in my face which is lovely. Feels like such a long way to go though and although I have already lost a stone and a half, and head read hundreds of success stories, I’m struggling to believe this will ‘work’ for me since I have failed so many times in the past.

Sorry just realised I posted this on the wrong thread!! 😂

@TheShellBeach that never occurred to me! Thank you so much x

@Bellyblueboy I few exactly the same. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner

don't lose heart. I've read a lot of people say it takes time to kick in

@SammySays hats nrilliant, that you can see the difference already! Makes me really excited!
