Moun-June-ers 2024 - Baggy Pants, Baggy Tops, Baggy Bras AHOY

[Callmejudith]

New thread gang!

My scales kept giving me different readings, and not seeming to match how I felt I'd done. Daughter does weight training at the gym so she came and tried them and it added over half a stone to what she thought she was...

Ordered new scales and they are showing 8st 12lb! EIGHT stone. Eight.

Which to be honest is more where I feel I should be based on diet and activity and how my clothes feel. Although part of me doesn't know whether to believe it!

Hi All. I posted recently about being in hospital after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage, so having to take a break from MJ.
Well I finally came home yesterday after 13 nights.
I last took 12.5mg MJ on 19/03/2025 and my Shotsy graph shows I still have approx 2mg in my system.
Im not currently watching what I eat, I need to build up my strength again to get fit and well again.
Weighed myself this morning and I’ve lost 4lbs in the time I’ve been in hospital, which isn’t bad as I didn’t eat much for the first week.
it will be interesting to see how I get on when all MJ is out of my system.

i would like to start again when I’m ready to lose the final 1.5 stone to get to a healthy weight. But for now I’m happy with the 6 stone I’ve lost which will no doubt help me to recover quicker. But for now I’m just delighted to be still alive and home again.

After a 2 week holiday I weighed in this morning. 2lbs down.
SW. 13.8
CW. 10.13.
Ive now been on 5 mg for the 4th month after moving down from 7.5 mg and am happy with my weight. Not sure what to do next. I have 2 pens in the fridge after using this one.
Do I go cold turkey and keep the pens ‘ in case’. I’m so scared my food cravings will come back and I so love the way I am at the moment not really constantly thinking about food.
Or do I continue on the medication but lower my dose slowly and just stay on them once I reach a level where my weigh remains stable.
What have other people done or going to do once target weight reached?

@Sewfrickinamazeballs so sorry to hear about your losses. Completely get how you feel about your physical size. I am still confused by what I see in a mirror and look at a size 10 pair of knickers like they’re doll sizes yet they bloody fit me!

@daffodilandtulip whoop whoop for the new scales!! I feel your incredulity at a number starting with 8!!!!

Hey @Snozzlemaid! Glad to hear you are home❤️ Look after yourself!

Weigh in day… week 42, 1lb off and so close I can taste it!
Fast800 SW: 17st 7lbs bmi 44.8
MJ SW: 16st 12lbs bmi 43.2
CW: 9st 9lbs bmi 24.7

Have tweaked the goal slightly (chasing an 8 stone loss!! 😂) so 11lbs to go. Last 10mg in the fridge and maintenance call in the diary. Still worried I’m going to wake up and find it is all a dream…

@Bitezbabe well done on losing on holiday! I am planning on moving down to 7.5 after I finish the one dose I have and the new 10mg in the fridge. 🤞 I should be at/below goal by then. If things go ok on that 7.5 (ie I am not eating the furniture!!), I plan on another month of it before moving down and doing the same trial on 5.

I am well aware this may not work and I may need to maintain on 10 or even go higher but I am not coming off. Cannot stand having to battle my own brain over food and wine!!!

It was great to drop weight but tbh I found it really hard eating out every night. I felt really bad ordering food that I could never finish. I even tried having just a stater a couple of times and still felt full and bloated. Felt a bit bad for my husband as I never really enjoyed a meal or a cocktail. 😫

My journey is now finished -
Sw was 78kg
Cw is 50kg
BMI is 19.
was size 16-18, now 8-10....very bizarre when the clothes fit!

@IReallyNeedThisToWork days later and still in shock at the 8!

Official week 43 weigh in:

SW 13st 7lbs BMI 36.6
CW 8st 12lbs BMI 24.2

Total loss 4st 9lbs (65lbs) and 34% of my body weight. All of these figures are still baffling me!! Although I am starting to get annoyed by the bits that aren't changing, like my belly and arms, and see these in the mirror before the weight loss now 🙈

@daffodilandtulip I bet! I shall be walking on air when I get there 😁 I know what you mean about the bits you don’t like! This is a new thing as before I hated ALL of it but now I can cherry pick! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
@Dithercats whoop whoop! Huge congratulations!! I hear wit you are saying about the clothes - size 10 knickers look like doll’s clothes and yet they fit me!! 😱

How are we all?

Week 43 weigh in. 3lbs down this week.
Fast800 SW: 17st 7lbs bmi 44.8
MJ SW: 16st 12lbs bmi 43.2
CW: 9st 6lbs bmi 24.1

8lbs to goal…

Well done! Not long to go for you. I am ok. Stuck around 10.12 which is BMI 24. Not totally off it yet but going 2 weeks between.
People are noticing a difference having lost 5 stone. My Turkey neck is getting me down a bit. Rather have it than be 15 stone though.

My weight seems to have stayed the same for a couple of months but I am shrinking! I am now in size 12 clothes for the first time since I was in my early thirties. I really never thought this would happen. When I find my posts (using another name) on other threads like intermittent fasting and low carb etc I want to cry for my earlier self. What's so interesting about the Mounjaro threads is that absolutely everyone is losing weight. With the other diets most were failures almost immediately.

I thought it was weigh in day because I'm off work (very nearly jabbed and then realised 😨) so a day early for week 44 and I'm a pound down. I'm now only 2lb off a FIVE STONE loss!

SW 13st 7lb BMI 36.9
CW 8st 9lb BMI 23.6

Total loss 4st 12lb (68lbs) and 36% of me.

@coffeeandteavhow is it going without for two weeks? I’m so terrified of food noise and the battle it causes that I am scared to go down that route 😬
@@MounjaroUser its a weird one isn’t it! My size 12 jeans are suddenly looking a bit silly and it seems to have happened without me noticing! I hadn’t thought about the failure rate on other dieting threads but it’s an interesting one. Someone has resurrected the ‘why are you taking WLI’ thread and I commented that I thought the better question was ‘why AREN’T you?’!! (Other than finance/medical suitability etc obvs!!)
@daffodilandtulip 😂 Congrats on the lb!! What does 8st 9 feel like??

It is going ok. I am losing slowly but it is good practice for coming off it. I guess the last 10 pounds are slow anyway. I have a BMI of 24. 5 stone loss.

I have 2 pens left. I am going to use one more and then go pure cold Turkey. I then have the last pen incase it doesn't go to plan. I so hope it does.

I also have a scan at the start if May. So will see about the dreaded gall stones.

@IReallyNeedThisToWork madness. Absolute madness. I don't think I've been this weight while I've been an adult.

Going abroad in a couple of months so I have started shopping and I'll look at something and say no chance, but it fits (or is too big). I don't look thin in my head though, I get a shock when I notice my arm or leg or a skinny finger!

@daffodilandtulip oh god YES!! Got some shorts from TikTok shop this week and laughed when I saw them. They only bloody fit! 😱 My new size 12 jeans that I was so proud of are looking a little silly now even when newly washed!

I wonder how long it will take for our brains to catch up with the physical evidence?

I think you’re a little shorter than me but I’m not sure I could carry off 8st 9. Currently aiming for 8st 12 but then realise it’s only a 3lb difference! 😂

Just made a new thread as this one is so close to being full!! Cannot believe we are still here and still going!!

I just about scrape 5 foot, although haven't measured myself for years so have probably shrunk with age! Considering my original goal was 10st 7, I'm amazed I've reached 8st 9 ... I keep planning to stop or do maintenance but my bmi is still not that low so I'm not really thinking about what's next. Just see what happens. I don't really look skinny.
