Mounjaro October starters

[Rockfordpeach]

Hi,
I've taken the plunge and ordered Mounjaro through MedExpress. My prescription was accepted today and as long as it arrives in time I plan to start on Thursday (my birthday is on Wednesday 😂😂). I thought I would start a thread for any new starters if anyone is interested 😊

Amazing results! Well done everyone.

iv just presented my first pen. I’m actually a stone heavier than what I thought!

im 16st 8lbs 6oz … ouch and im 5’7.
in a dress size 18. Shocking really. I spent my whole life at a 10 and in the last 3 years I just haven’t been able to maintain any kind of diet. No idea why! I did lose 3st on my own late last year but gained it all back after a few holidays and nights out!

so starting again. Sigh. Hopefully it’s approved no problem and il be taking my first dose Friday afternoon/evening….. I would do sooner but I’m working away wed-Friday in London so won’t have access to the pen.

Those are super low calories! Be careful and look after yourself.

Has anyone got a walking pad? How do you find them?

On my days off i just want to hibernate and bingewatch crappy tv, all my people-ing gets used up at work. I want to don pyjamas and not think. Plus i live on an actual mountain (slight exaggeration) and dont want to walk locally, and i dont drive to go somewhere more reasonable. So i figured a walking pad, so i can wear my pjs and rewatch grey anatomy to my hearts content whilst getting in some steps is the way forward to get in some exercise in these early days.

Any recommendations? Ideally one with a bar and phone holder

Just popped to the supermarket to get something quick for dinner for the family. Such a strange experience, I picked up and put back so many things, everything made me queasy. I hadn't eaten breakfast either and usually id be hunger picking lots of rubbish but ended up with just dinner for the family and a ready meal for me 🙈

I had sprouts for dinner last night.

I’m not kidding!

I felt like I needed some green veg. I’d read about doing sprouts in the air fryer and thought “I’ll do some of those as a sort of starter and have my dinner a bit later”

Halved them, tossed them in oil and seasoning, air fried for 10 minutes - they were delicious!

But then I was pretty full so had a slice of bread and butter about 9pm but nothing else.

I had baked a cake and wasn’t even tempted. Who have I become????

I do!!

I got mine from home fitness code, I didn't buy mine with a rail, but you can do! I'm not sure on the phone holder bit, you'd have to have a look.

I'd recommend one though! It came super quick as well.

That’s amazing well done!

@EVK yes could well be tension that's a good point!

Just had a look and it looks like the handrail has a shelf i can stick my phone on. Looks ideal thank you!

Day 3 on MJ today for me. It took me an age to get to sleep last night and I seemed to be a bit jittery (best way I can describe it) before falling asleep. Quite intense dreams again though for the second night.
I can't believe how strange MJ is. I'm not having that empty feeling and ravenous hunger at all. Similarly, I can't tell if I'm full or not either, it's just all so weird.
Hope you all have a good day!

2nd full day and safe to say it’s kicked in now! I don’t feel hungry at all and when DH was eating crisps last night I wasn’t even tempted.. Just feels so strange years of having no willpower whatsoever!!
Only symptoms so far are weird sleeping patterns.. I keep waking up in the night and having really strange dreams, and achey neck and shoulders but that seems a bit better today.
I have also started walking to work (3 miles a day m-f). Good luck everyone ❤️

I got approved! Was super quick. Arrives Thursday - chose DPD instead of royal mail because my postie is lovely but knows everything and I don't need a conversation about this with him!

Excited and nervous now.

I was just approved too. It doesn’t tell me what day it will be delivered though yet, just that they are now preparing my deliver and it will be with DX!

Who did you get yours through? I picked the slimming clinic.

planning on doing the first dose Friday evening.

Well nearly 24 hours in and this is such a strange feeling! The food noise hasn't reduced yet but my appetite definitely seems to have done, I had a coffee first thing and not feeling hungry at all! I've just had a few bits of leftover roast chicken and enjoyed it/didn't feel sick but I easily could have gone without I'm just trying to make sure I still eat. I'll have some houmous and carrots on my lunch break and if that keeps me 'full' until tea time I will be truly amazed so let's see what happens.

The aching is getting worse and now includes my ribs so definitely a side effect I think but totally manageable.

Day 4 for me and I’m not sure if I’m more hungry today, or it’s the fact that I’m at work and it’s more structured for when I have my coffee/lunch, and I feel as though I should be having it.

None of the packages make it in any way obvious what it is - all v discreet

Hopefully the aching will subside for you soon. I’m drinking loads and feeling a little queasy- I’ve just eaten and that’s helped. I am still thinking about food but more in the way that I feel I should be eating. Before this I was fasting twice a week (to no avail) I actually feel like I’m more hungry now but when I eat I fancy less. I don’t know it’s weird. I’m trying to eat regularly as I want changes now to be sustainable. Definitely overthinking it all at the moment 😂

Well done on the losses everyone!

Did my second dose this morning. I've quickly gone from 'starting to feel a bit hungry' to feeling full (and slightly queasy) after a protein smoothie and toast.

@EVK yep definitely overthinking everything here too

Second dose this morning, but now feel hungry 🤔

Awww don't be disgusted, you've just made a decision which will make a massive difference to your life. Be excited! 😁

I went with Oushk. You can choose delivery day - which is what swung it for me in the end. Although there's usually someone in my house - just wanted to make sure!

Mine arrives on Thursday. Quite excited - after realising I was even fatter than I thought when I stood on the scales today, it's actually made me even more determined. I know it's not all about the number on the scales but I think I've spent too long squishing myself into stretchy clothes and embracing denial!

@mjuser I'm feeling strangely positive (after I finished crying at least). There's a lonnnnnng road ahead (need to lose at least 5 stones) but I'm hopeful this time. I've never been thin (although this is the heaviest I've been) but I always got away with excess weight because I've always been pretty fit. But I think my luck will run out now that I'm hurtling towards 50, I get so many aches and pains that just linger for much longer than they used to. So i really need to take responsibility and do something about it.

I've got this one. It's great, but the rail gets in the way of the telly 😆- you can use it with the rail folded down if you've got decent balance, though. Folds away easily for storage.

My cat is scared of it, so I'm only allowed to use it when she's out.
