[Callmejudith]

New thread gang!

@daffodilandtulip I am so sorry to hear that. Horrible, vicious disease and I am actually relieved my mum died before it really got its claws into her. Sending hugs

I am so sorry to read this.

Morning! Week 34 weigh in this morning and I’m down 2lbs.
First week on 10mg and (much as I hate to tempt fate!!) it’s been a brilliant week! No side effects, enough suppression (maybe slightly too much but we can cope!) and best of all NO FOOD NOISE!! 🎉🎉 I am hoping I can stay here till goal which is a mere 26lbs away! Only a stone to a healthy bmi! Who would ever have thought this was possible??

Fast800 SW: 17st 7lbs bmi 44.8
MJ SW: 16st 12lbs bmi 43.2
CW: 10st 10lbs bmi 27.4

Today I have squeezed into a pair of size 10 jeans!

SW 252.6 lb
CW 193.6 lb
Total loss: 59 lbs

Hmmph no change from last week this week, never mind

I'm so sorry about your relative.

When you say you had risk factors last year but not now, please could you explain more?

Week 35 weigh in and the start of my last 10mg pen. I weighed myself three times and moved the scales around but nope, still not reached the magic 4 stone. 1lb loss this week.

SW 13st 7lb BMI 36.9
CW 9st 8lb BMI 26.2

Total loss 3st 13lb, (55lbs) 29.1% of my body weight!

Been doing loads of DIY this week so have been too knackered to workout, which I think makes a big difference.

Week 28 11.8
Christmas
Week 29 12.4
Week 30 12.0
Week 31 11.11
Week 32 11.9
Week 33 11.5
Week 34 11.3
Week 25 11.3

No change this week. I am on 7.5 but don't want to go up. Have another stone to go.

I haven't started to wortout yet. Been too tired.

Do you think this would help? I hate being sooo tired all of the time.

I don’t get the tiredness side effect that people talk about so not sure. But generally speaking, exercise does give you more energy. I certainly feel better afterwards. I do HIIT, you can find ones as short as 10 minutes on YouTube (do some stretches first!).

I don't think mine is from the MJ think its just me and my life. So maybe it will help mentally too.
Thank you.

Urrghh, I was so tired when I first started MJ but it does eventually go.

FOUR STONE!!

FIFTY SIX POUNDS!!

30% of me gone!!

That's incredible, @daffodilandtulip! Congratulations! What are your starting and current weights?

Thank you @MounjaroUser !
I usually post weekly on Saturdays when I jab but I was too excited today! SW was 13st 7lb and my original goal was 10st 7lb, then 10st, then "see what happens".

Amazing!

@daffodilandtulip WHOO HOO!! Amazing! Well done you! 👏

@daffodilandtulip that's fantastic! What an amazing milestone to achieve.

I have dropped down from 10 to somewhere between 8-9, and I am leaving it 8 days between jabs. Thankfully this has helped me get over the constant nausea. I have as a result plateaued at 11st 7 ish (half a pound either side) for the last couple of weeks.

Hunger pangs are higher for sure, but I'm taking this as an opportunity to relearn that this is ok and they don't need to be instantly answered!

I will go up to 10 when I jab tomorrow as I do want to get to below 11. I will then think about moving provider so I can maintain on 10mgs. Once I get through the next few weeks (which are expected to be highly stressful) I want to start to introduce more exercise, particularly strength and toning.

Hope everyone is doing ok. Only a few months off a year of starting this. What a year! I wonder what we have collectively lost so far?

Another week (and another birthday!) done!

Week 35 weigh in and down a pound which is impressive considering the 4 meals out and Prosecco consumption that my birthday has brought! 😂

13 lbs to a healthy bmi…

SW 252.6 lb
CW 193.6 lb
Total loss: 59 lbs

Frustratingly stalled for another week. Might be time to move up to 12.5 next time maybe

How has 10 been for you @Megarea? I’m finding it a weird one - generally no appetite but growling hunger pains early mornings! Very full very quickly on a small amount of food but unable to resist my birthday Percy Pigs. And the weight loss has slowed right down!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork 10 has been brilliant, very minimal side effects including no longer reacting at injection site, sensible amount of suppression - easy to stay in calories but able to have an indulgence now and again and slower but steady weight loss. I think I'm on number 4 pen at 10 now.
It's so odd how much it varies in effects for people!

@Megarea weird huh?!? I have not had any side effects either! Only on my third dose now (including the 5th from my last 7.5!) so have 10 days or so to make my mind up about the next one. Will see what the loss is like over that period. I am under a stone to healthy bmi so could just naturally be slowing anyway. Who knows!

1 pound this week. Bmi is 25.2. I am so close to being in the green section.
I am still on 7.5mg but may go up to 10 for my last 2 pens as it is wearing off a bit now. I am not so sure. The last stone will be the hardest.

I have lost 4st6 in total.
