Mounjaro August Starters 6

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Old thread nearly full so thought would do new one

We are a chatty but supportive bunch

Can't believe it's already thread 6!

Another thread already!!!

My legs are like lead today after my squats etc yesterday!!

Still managed 11k steps but not my usual 20k! Also had a lot of work to catch up on!

NSV today, whilst putting on my skincare I noticed just had more bony my face is!! Much less of second chin! Almost on single figures! 😂

My suppression on 5mg at the moment is unreal. I’ve had one protein shake today and only managed half my dinner. I’m sort of missing enjoying food, but I’m also enjoying being 1lb off of being in the 14 stone bracket where I haven’t been in over 2 years, and I was big then.

No one yet has commented on my weight loss. I’m a carer and I sometimes cover a lady for one of my colleagues. She always found great delight in telling me I’d put on weight, typical elderly lady with no filter. I saw her yesterday for the first time since starting and I was really hoping she’d say something. But nope, I guess she only likes being negative!!! This is the lady who, when I escaped an abusive marriage and was happily with my now DH three years later, said she thought I would’ve gone back to my first husband “by now”. I think i almost want someone else to notice so that I know it’s real, if that makes sense

Hellooo! Not been on for a while. I finished my first 5mg pen and decided to stay on it as it was doing its job.
Well bloody typical it seemed to almost stop working over night.
So I persevered for the first week but I definitely needed to move up so last night I did one and a half doses and it's kicked back in again thank god.

Glad everyone seems to pootling along.

Somehow my aunt has found out I'm on the jabs. I'm not overly angry but also not happy. My parents swear they didn't tell so I don’t know who would have

Well I'm pretty sure she didn't magically find out! Was she at least supportive?

@owlyboo she is, I'm wondering if one of the support groups I'm in on Facebook has a mutual friend or something 🥴

@itwasnevermine ah that makes sense... or maybe she's on it to and also on a support group but under another name... I'm very suspicious 😂😂

I've got a 7.5mg pen in the fridge. Did the bonus from a 5mg this week and think I'll go up to the full 7.5 on Saturday.

How are you getting on with 7.5@Blondeshavemorefun?

I’ve been a bit up and down with the 5mg and my weight loss has really slowed down so I’m thinking of moving up to 7.5 soon.

New thread! Wow!! #6 already!!
I have one more week on 5mg, then next week I start on 7.5mg. Really looking forward to going up, definitely don’t have so much suppression on 5mg anymore.
Looking forward to hearing about how everyone is on 7.5.

The suppression on 5.8 is still strong, wow 🤢 couldn't finish any of my meals today. I'm glad I didn't jump up to 7.5

Bless you @MelainesLaugh the old biddy sounds awful

@troppibambini6 so on 7.5 now ?

@itwasnevermine sounds like a Fb thing as real names

None of her business

@EnteringAUsername it's better than 5 but I think 10 and when I did my jab and bonus dose was the only week I've felt real suppression

I'm obv going to be one of the higher responders

No nausea headache or major tiredness on 7.5

Will see how I do but likely to go to 10 when I reorder

So weird and lucky them , that some can barely manage on less than 5 ans can't eat

I def can eat. Always 2 meals. Maybe 3

Weigh in/jab day for me. Lost another 1lb this week so that takes me down to -2st in 7 weeks! I’m doing my bonus dose of 5mg next week but still haven’t decided whether to go up to 7.5 or stick at 5.

Weigh ins: -7, -5, -3, -2, -5, -5, -1 ✨

Well
Done @SilverSprings510 ! Great losses!

@SilverSprings510 They're amazing losses!

Congratulations🎉 @SilverSprings510! 2 stone loss in 7 weeks is amazing!

Hi lovely people.

I started on 12th august and am currently on 5mg.
I'm still getting a good suppression, feel hungry so eat...but manage very little. So eating little and often, and eating pretty clean.

SW 16st 2
CW 14st 6

I lost 20lbs in the first month, I've now lost and gained the same 3lbs for 3 weeks.

It's so demoralising....and the same thing which happens with every single blooming diet I try.

My body just hangs on to weight for dear life !!!

Drinking water, having protein shakes when I'm feeling a tad nauseous and can't eat... which thankfully isn't as bad this week as it's been pretty horrendous...but any advice greatly appreciated x x

Yes I am.
No I’m not sorry! It will be my second. Can’t delete the comment.

Watching! I started 7.5 pen but felt so nauseous so next week will reduce it down as felt better on 5. Weight loss slow and I have lost 16lb and only have 5 stone to go!!

@Blondeshavemorefun thank you for starting the thread

I am also on 7.5 mg.

Plugged all my details into My Fitness Pal earlier today. It says that I should be on just under 1500 calories to lose 1.5 lb a week. A bit depressing to be honest!

@Katkins17 great loss for starters but I get the frustration!!! No advice really. I hope the losses start soon! Have you tried upping exercise as a partner to the MJ and lack of cals?

Also @Katkins17 maybe when you up to 7.5 it might help?!
