So pleased with Mounjaro loss so far

I started on 24/09 at 13 st 13.5lb

Today on 10/10 I am 13st 4.1lb!

But it isn't just about the weight loss, that's nice.

It's the food noise! No more am I tormented by a constant stream of thoughts surrounding food. No more am I spending loads of money on random meals and snacks.

I get hungry, eat sensibly and that's it. My mind doesn't go off imagining different foods

I am embarrassed to admit that I use to say I was 'popping to the pertol station for fuel' and I'd go there, fill up on fuel and sit in the car eating a meal deal, sugary snacks, crisps. All before I'd even had dinner Blush I couldn't think of anything else until I'd had my fill

I now eat nutritionally good for me food in moderately sized portions

I've had the odd treat and it's been okay, but I haven't been wowed by it and never go back for more, something unheard of

Just thought I'd start a random thread in case anyone is like me and had these problems.

In short, it's like it's giving me a clean break, a chance to reset my relationship with food all together

Hi,

This sounds promising!

I've always had issues with food and yoyo dieting.
SW,WW etc etc work then I'd put the weight back on.
I have thyroid issues, PCOS and am in menopause after surgery so really struggling to loose weight.
How did you go about getting a prescription?

@bringonthecakesnomore it's incredible isn't it?!? I get quite emotional about the changes MJ has brought me in the last 16 weeks!

@notinthefingmood licensed pharmacists can prescribe this medication if you meet certain criteria - a bmi in the obese range (30 and above) or 27 with weight related conditions. Have a look heree* for a list of registered pharmacies, their trust pilot reviews etc. There is a lot of info at the top of the 'continuing mounjaro' threads with a link to a website with useful tips.

Congratulations!

I started on 12/08 at 20 stone 11 lbs

As of this morning I'm 18 stone 9 lbs

Hi guys. I too was wowed by the loss of the food noise. No popping to fridge for snacks or hearing chocolate call out to me of an evening.
As a 30 year yo-yo dieter this is amazing stuff.
The loss of 5stone in 21 weeks has been so easy.
I’m over the moon.
