Scared to start

Hi all, this is my first ever post but I’ve been reading about mj for a while and I’m eager to start however I worry it won’t work for me as I don’t feel like I’m ever hungry or full but I still eat I think it’s more in my head than my bodies actual need for food. I’ve been overweight since I was about 8. Has anyone else like this has success?

All of us, I'd say.

Go for it @ProudCoralBear and see for yourself.

I've lost 5st since January and have another 6st to go.

MJ has changed my life.

@ProudCoralBear yep, that's probably a fair description of most of us here that are using Mounjaro!! Certainly me. I started at the beginning of July and have lost about 4.5 stone so far.

ProudCoralBear · 17/10/2024 20:22

Thank you, I know it probably seems like a silly question but I read so much where people say it stops the hunger and it occurred to me I don’t always eat because I’m hungry I just eat and eat and don’t know why. It’s good to hear that it might work for me too.

I stopped snacking and mindlessly eating from the first day I did the injection. It's like a switch has been flipped in my brain and I just don't care about food in that way any more.

ProudCoralBear · 17/10/2024 20:30

Thank you, I’m going to order this evening and give it a go

@ProudCoralBear I'm also scared to start.
So just reading your thread.
Do you mind me asking where you are ordering from?

You just won't be able to eat and eat. You won't want to.

@needhelpwiththisplease

I will send you a discount link via a private message which will get you 35% off.

Be with you in a few mins.

I could snack for England and never feel full. Started in April at nearly 15 stone and I'm now 9 stone 7

Ive also never had what I'd recognise as real appetite suppression, although it's reduced of course. And I've never worked up beyond 5mg.

I just eat around 1400 calories a day and my portions are small as that's all i fancy

Just get that first jab in and you seriously will only regret not starting sooner

Notsandwiches · 17/10/2024 21:04

Where do you buy this?

waitingforthebus · 17/10/2024 21:10

Are you a diabetic? Because if not, seriously consider whether you need it. There's a current shortage and those for whom it was medically intended cant get hold of it because people want to lose weight easily.

needhelpwiththisplease · 17/10/2024 21:21

@waitingforthebus I think that's to do with drug companies and greed. Not individuals whom are doing nothing wrong

TheShellBeach · 17/10/2024 21:27

Notsandwiches · 17/10/2024 21:04

Where do you buy this?

Online registered pharmacies.

SilenceInside · 17/10/2024 21:33

@waitingforthebus you're misinformed. Mounjaro is medically intended for weight loss, it's not in shortage and no one is taking it away from diabetics. Making obese people lose weight easily is a good thing not something to have a problem with, for goodness sake.

There is no shortage of Mounjaro

Why do people comment when they literally have zero clue what they're talking about?! Baffling

Just to wind people up I imagine. Best ignored!

Sending you details by private message now. X

I've sent everyone a private message with a link to get you 35% off your first order of mounjaro either Voy.

You will have to complete a medical questionnaire and upload a photo

Delivery is 48 hours after ordering and you get an app and a coach if you want one.

If you want a link and didn't get one send me a private message and I will get it to you.

Good luck all.
