Mounjaro August Starters 6

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Old thread nearly full so thought would do new one

We are a chatty but supportive bunch

@Ellepff I don't know the difference between the two drugs tbh

@AdeloreSmore syringe bonus dose - I've done hard twist and syringe and latter def easier

'
@Azuresky68 tbh I don't think 7.5 is that bad but remember I did 10!!!

But if you feel ill on 5 not sure if you should do 7.5?

But the doses don't seem to make me feel I'll usually

But 10 felt good and I had success on it. I don't expect to lose 4lbs every week but it pushed the plateau

But on 7.5 I am def hungry and def more by day 5/6/7 🥲

I jab 2nd 7.5 Tom

Today day 7 and starving for breakfast and usually eat it after taken dd to school

I should eat now but don't have time so will have to wait till 9am

I'm feeling a little queasy this am and not sure why

If it's hunger or ........

Is this when I'm meant to take those tablets things ? @eeeeeeeee

@owlyboo @Blondeshavemorefun thanks for advice - I appreciate what you are saying. I read about 5 mg and 7.5 mg when I originally started on the main thread. Although it's different for everyone, quite a lot of people said the worst side effects were on 5 mg, and going onto 7.5 mg was a game changer. I am really hoping that applies to me. 5 mg has been awful for nausea. I've ordered the anti-nausea tablets from Ouschk and hoping that will help. In the meantime I have been taking Kwells. Other side effects have been headaches 😩 so not as bad as some side effects I have read about.

And with today's weigh in I'm officially 30lbs down! A long way to go and I'm definitely expecting some increases because I'm due on any day now, but I'm so happy.

I tried to chart it weekly but I haven't weighed often enough to do that because of other things going on 😅 my weekly rate on happy scale has slowed now to be 2lbs a week on average though which I'm happy with.

@Azuresky68 maybe 7.5 will be your magic number

@itwasnevermine well done

I had one of my electrodes drinks. Did make me feel better

A very excellent round number and super impressive loss @itwasnevermine!

Honestly bang on the 18 stone 9 pounds and I was so happy! The scales I use only weigh with the .1 etc after a certain weight and they've been the bane of my life 🤣

Ha, yes I need to get into the 9 stone band to be able to get decimal points on my elderly scales, so some way to go! I didn't even realise they did decimal points until I saw my daughter on them once 😶

Hello chatty August bunch :) I am in the midst of a very sociable period (other people's big birthdays, and lots of visitors and eating out). Being on MJ is really helping me to manage my eating and drinking. I also think that with so many people around no-one is really noticing what I'm eating, or not eating. Although I am having to avoid my SIL in the mornings as she is convinved that it is an awful thing not to eat breakfast (this is a SIL who is at least 6 inches taller than me, a long lean body shape, has never had children, is not yet menopausal and who has never had an ounce of fat in her life).

Thanks for the new thread!

Well done @itwasnevermine - that's an amazing milestone!

My NSV today... time to dig out my nice belt and see if it fits again, because my trousers are falling down.

I think if anything you’ll feel worse on 7.5 so think it through.

Fantastic @itwasnevermine ! 💃💃💃

Is all okay with you @AuntieDote ?

Wondering how @doodles55 is doing too.

Just checking in. Thanks for the new thread.

I haven't weighed myself properly for a few days as I started my period on Monday so it seemed pointless but had a cheeky weigh in before showering and I'm down to 13.10! Will take that with a pinch of salt though as it was later in the day rather than my normal morning time.

Started my 7.5mg pen yesterday, all seems fine, don't feel as tired and headachey like I normally do after jab day.

We had a Chinese takeaway last night and I had some plain chow mein and beef and black bean sauce, 1 prawn cracker. I felt fine after but it did feel strange to not have my big pile of food, I used a small plate and had a very small amount as I didn't want to be ill but all was fine!

Had to remind myself to eat today at around 1.30pm, just haven't felt hungry at all.

Life is starting to become hectic so I'm hopefully going to be getting more time to myself so exercising is definitely at the top of my agenda as I'd really like to start toning up now.

My belly is so much flatter, far less bloated and pregnant looking, I can see my feet again, my belly doesn't stick out past my boobs, my size 18 jeans are loose!

Hi not been around for ages……sorry 🙈

I started way back in first August thread and think I’m almost exactly same stage.

I didn’t do second 5mg pen, I also went up to 7mg and did first injection on Sunday.

Was originally injecting on a Friday but over last 10ish weeks I think? I’ve moved injection to a Sunday.

So far I’ve done 3 x 2.5mg then used bonus at same time as my 4th 2.5mg. I then did 5 x 5mg (5th week was bonus dose) and now have had first 7.5mg.

I haven’t got caught up on all the threads so would be interesting to hear how everyone is doing xxx

SW - 16 stone 6
Weight when started Mounjaro - 15 stone 11
CW - 14 stone 8

Waves to @MrsHerbs79 yes you are one of the original - nice to see you back

We do waffle a lot. Or maybe I do. Others not as much 😂😂😂

A few of of on 7.5. Some stayed another month on 5 as a losing weight

A couple suffering and so clicks so 3.75 ish as 5 too much for them and very sick 🥲

@Princessandthepie I would like a Chinese again but as I was so sick after it and really not sure why as didn't have lots it has put me off a bit !!!!

Maybe next weekend

@Timetochange24 a great NSV

@20bloodypounds I have a friend like that. I want to hate her but she is lovely so I don't

1700 calorie today.

Absolutely driven by my period and the end of the jab coinciding but I regret it now because I feel sick! Crazy that my bad days are now less calories than I used to eat daily!!

@Blondeshavemorefun you were the reason I wary of Chinese food but I was ok.

Also realised I should have put "life is about to become less hectic..." in my previous post! 🙈

I was so sick I didn't understand it

Throwing up half digested chicken. Not a good taste or feel lol

I'm away at the moment and struggling to log my calories - I'm rigid with weighing and measuring food at home but obviously I haven't brought scales with me (although there are some body scales in the bathroom which I don't intend to venture anywhere near!).

It's an all inclusive break and I don't drink alcohol. For breakfast and lunch I'm mainly eating fruit.

I'm really hoping this doesn't undo my efforts so far. I took my 4th dose of 5mg on Sunday and suppression has worn off for the first time since going up to 5mg. I was going to stay on 5 for another month but I'm not so sure now.

Hi, everyone seems to be doing really well with some great losses. I have been unwell this week stomach pains and S&D. I think it is a bug but has anyone been absolutely fine since starting then had the above on week 3 of 5mg?
Usually I have a cast iron stomach and never ill. Other’s thoughts appreciated 🙂

@Whoyoutakingto there have been some rogue bugs around dd class so might be one

I had D & V last @Whoyoutakingto definitely wasn't MJ related. My guess was food poisoning as felt instantly better when I was sick.

Hope you feel better soon! I would say it's unlikely to be MJ but who knows!!

@MrsHerbs79 hi! 10 weeks in (!!!). 4 weeks on 2.5mg, 6 weeks on 3.75mg - this week def feels like the suppression is less but I still have a smaller appetite so I think I'm going to stay here a while longer. Side effects have been manageable. SW 15 st 8 lb, CW 13 st 11lb. Think I have about another 2.5 st to go, but let's see - at current rates and costing in the slowdown that I think will inevitably happen, I think that'll take another 4 months. Still absolutely evangelical about clear whey and electrolytes :)

Amazing!!! Well done!!! Xxx

Me too 🙋‍♀️ funnily enough I've eaten more cake (family birthdays) on 7.5 than I wanted to on 5! Think it's more having stuff in the house that I know I can eat when out but isn't good for me to have in the house

Oh dear God I’m watching GBBO Bread Week on catch up - why? 😩 WHY am I watching this? I miss masses of bread so much. Fortunately I have my jab tomorrow - wish me bread suppression 🍞 😂
