Mounjaro August Starters 6

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Old thread nearly full so thought would do new one

We are a chatty but supportive bunch

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a no from me! Sad times

@morbidcuriosity of you can buy a dupe. I did that recently. Smells amazing and people keep saying am I wearing abc and I say yes

But then Say it's a fake and was £10

@itwasnevermine that's the thing - once we are off mj / we will be back to eating 3 a day

So think it's good in some ways I still am

But she. I see what people eat on the eating thread I'm omfg

@lookathatbookcase wow double victory !! Well done

@Whoyoutakingto I find 7.5 fine but I honestly don't think mj is working for me as well as others

@AdeloreSmore ha ha ha - no but I'm a every 2/3 days girl anyway

Hence the 7 lb er

NSV for me today - finally got a pair of wardrobe warmers on in a size smaller! Sitting here reading the thread, looked down and thought - Blimey my thighs look thinner and I've got ankles again!!! (Still no collar bone however!)

@Blondeshavemorefun thanks, I feel ready as I really wanted to snack and been craving carbs this week.

I still never feel full ever 😅 but don’t get food noise. I do still question if my “full” is basically
gorging myself though

@Blondeshavemorefun I'm on three meals and feel great!!

For breakfast it was protein weetabix with strawberries and a chocolate protein shake as milk

Lunch was chicken stew

Dinner will be the stew again with a bread roll!

I even had a snack - a banana. It'll come in around 1300 calories and I'm pleased with that!

Welcome @Changinghabits1973

It's that time of the month again when I am getting reminders from Zavamed to reorder, and I just don't know whether to stick with the 5mg or switch up to 7.5mg.

On one hand I am happy on 5mg, I am losing about 2lbs per week but only because I am calorie counting 1200 cals a day. I don't cheat and I only get mildly hungry. Also I've got about another four and a half stone to go.

On the other hand, if I order another 5mg then that's six weeks in which the effect might wear off. I'm also a bit worried about the approach of Christmas which is a really dangerous time for me and contains ALL my favourite food and drink (cough Baileys) and I would really like to be more suppressed at Christmas.

I am sure that I write this post every month

Also I will need to change prescriber soon, well, in the next two months or so, as Zava don't support prescribing at healthy bmi, and I want the option to get off it at my own pace. I'm so tempted by Oushk as they look brilliant., but I am feeling reticent as they are new and fairly small. So many decisions!

Congrats on all the loose clothing, I am desperate for a new bra, it is moving about all over the place.

So sorry, yes - also meant to say warm welcome to you @Changinghabits1973 I got over excited by my own ankles 😆

@MissFancyDay hey.. thanks for the welcome hun! Sounds like you're doing amazing too..
If I can say a couple of things re your post.. my first month of 5mg was brilliant in terms of loss, I think by memory 16 lb over the 4 week period. Yes I had some side effects but I managed them.. so I decided to re order another 5mg as it was working.. but by week 2 of the second month it wasn't doing anything for me.. not just in terms of weight loss but I was hungry ALL the time even after injection day, I craved everything all over again and felt like I did before mounjaro.. so I decided to order 7.5mg but from the remaining doses in my 5mg pen started syringe technique to go between the 5 and the 7.5 and it worked for me as my cravings went away again..
I just wanted to give my opinion that's all to see if it helps you.. but I know a lot of people find 5 there dream dose and stick for months on it.. that's why we are all different!
As for Oushk I can't recommend them enough, even though they are relatively new but they care and it's not all money money money.... for the prescriber to take the time to talk to me for 20 minutes on the phone when I was in the thought process stage of changing to them meant so much to me.. it wasn't a sales pitch.. it was genuinely from an understanding my goals and trying to help achieve my dream weight... knowing that I can be with them to lose my 6 stone now and for maintenance has put my mind at rest to know I'm with the right place.. xx

@AdeloreSmore thank you!!
I wish I had your thin ankles and thighs right now !!!! You must be extremely proud and super excited !
You know you've made it when your ankles take you by surprise and ask do they really belong to me??!! 😂
Huge congrats on your thighs but not forgetting the ankles obviously!! X

Ah thanks @Blondeshavemorefun

Definitely @WorriedRelative off shopping Friday!

Well done @morbidcuriosity

Fabulous @lookathatbookcase well done you!

Fab legs @AdeloreSmore

My thighs are still looking chunky but huge NSV is that I can cross my legs comfortably when sitting down. It’s been a long time since I could that and not feel like it was really hard work

Wow it's been busy on this thread today! Fab NSVs too!

I'm struggling to eat these last couple of days, had nausea and feeling very tired and washed out. I don't know if it's that I'm not eating enough, or I'm coming down with something. Work has been frantic as well so that hasn't helped, I've only just got home and I was out the door at 8am. Hoping to get some food down, just put a M&S cottage pie in the oven as I'm too knackered to cook, and will do some veggies.

@Changinghabits1973 thanks for your advice. I am already on my second pen of 5mg and it feels as good, if not better than the first one. I'll leave it another week (I will also do the bonus dose) and see how it is going.

Yes Oushk does sound good, in fact I have not heard a single word against them yet. All the best.

@lookathatbookcase don't worry, I'm the wimp that's still on 2.5mg 🤣🤣 albeit I am now jabbing every 5 days. I've not worked out how I'll manage with the next pen as I've ordered a 5mg pen. I'll need to count out the days because I can't have it going OOD. X

Sending lots of positivity your way for the jab xxx

I love those type of nsv as it's about feeling healthier @GoodLuckBabe which is the ultimate goal for us all I'm sure. I've noticed hills are much easier on my walk now...

Hope you feel better soon @CrazyGoatLady and you manage most of your dinner

Good luck with the jab @Whoyoutakingto I'm on the second week of 7.5 and I've been fine. Fingers crossed for you!

@NippyCrab @owlyboo thank you for your support 🙂

@Whoyoutakingto hope it goes ok, I've found stepping up a dose is tough going the first week but generally settles.

@NippyCrab took me a while to contemplate stepping up from the starter dose too!

@owlyboo thank you 😊

@CrazyGoatLady thanks for your message I do hope if there are side effects they are short lived. It is great to hear others experiences.

who was it that took a massive double dose last week?!

Mind start a new thread soon whoever has the time, i am retiring now, with flipping heartburn, I'm going to have an omeprazole and a slug of lactulose 😄💩🙏😴😴🐾🐾

@NippyCrab yay I’ll take back the baton from. @Blondeshavemorefun and start numberrrrrr sevennnn. God I’m sure I did 5 only about a week ago😅😅😅😅😅

#7 (why am I saying that like Len from strictly in my head!) ready for us per @NippyCrab suggestion :

I think I'm going to be moving to oushk in December.

I'm really enthused by them a) offering DPD and b) offering maintenance plans
