Where did you lose fat first? Mounjaro

I've been on it 3 weeks and lost 6ibs, I've noticed my face looks slimmer but still no noticeable difference on my body - blah.

Where did you lose fat first, and see a noticeable difference?

I've lost 4 stone so far.
First to go was my bum and the roll of fat under my boobs.
Then after I've lost generally everywhere apart from my belly, which is still huge.
I can mostly see a difference around my shoulders, and I am not so wide looking from the front. But from the side my belly still sticks out lots, so I think that's going to be the last thing to go.
The only saggy skin issue so far is my neck, which I'm not too happy about, but I'd rather have a wrinkly neck than be as unhealthy as I was before I started.

I appear to be losing from the top down 😂
mMy face has definitely slimmed, as have my boobs. The most noticeable is under my boobs. If I stand side on I am slim under my boobs and then my stomach just hangs down! That has shrunk too though so it’s hopefully going to all disappear eventually

Im interested in trying this, can anybody recommend a reputable supplier and idea of cost or is it prescription only?

Have a look on the discount codes thread for a code (or PM me for mine) - you will be able to knock £25 / £30 off the cost of a pen and they are all registered pharmacies on there.

You will have to do an online consult (ie fill out a form) and maybe send pics of your weight/ your body (in clothes) to get approved.

Face is a bit slimmer now and I'm starting to see my collarbones, belly has gone noticeably softer but there's just so much of it that I think it will take a lot of loss before I see it there.

InfoSecInTheCity · 21/10/2024 18:25

Oh and wrists apparently as had to notch my watch down a hole on the strap.

InfoSecInTheCity · 21/10/2024 18:26

@Bignanna weight loss isn't necessarily extremely fast. I'm losing about 2 lbs a week which is on par for other diets I've done. The big difference is this time I'm not so hungry I want to cry all the time.

WeAllHaveWings · 21/10/2024 18:34

Boobs first, I must be 3-4 cup sizes down - fine when I have my bra on, but they hang sooooooo low now when bra off they are taking a bit of getting used to! I avoid mirrors when undressing!

Snozzlemaid · 21/10/2024 18:44

Ooh I forgot, apparently my feet are thinner too!
Popped on a pair of Birkenstocks yesterday that I'd not worn for a while and they are really loose now. I had to move the buckle straps in.

Itsmeamandaberry · 21/10/2024 18:55

Face and boobs for me. I'm loosing elsewhere as clothes are getting bigger but yet to see it

JohnCravensNewsround · 21/10/2024 18:57

I've lost 18lbs so far. It's noticeable on my face and my stomach.
I'm classic short apple. Some of my 16 trousers are loose, others are just more comfortable.
No change to the comedy bust which is now a 36H vs 38GG.

@BananaNirvana
i started in May and am still on 7.5. I had two months at 5 because I had viral gastroenteritis and had to stop it for a week or two and I’m having two months at 7.5 because of the side effects - indigestion and throwing up (throwing up possibly as a result of indigestion).
Some of the losses on here are amazing but I’ve only lost about 10lbs. This could be because I struggle to eat much in the way of fruit and no veg at all, and at the end of the week when it wears off I do have a tendency to overeat again. I don’t do much (any) exercise either. But the GP didn’t seem bothered and said slow but steady was fine.
My work trousers are definitely looser but seems to be the hips and bum more than my stomach - I do carry weight on my stomach. And I’m losing it off my boobs I think.
I’ve kept quiet about it but someone at work
noticed I was losing weight which was gratifying.

CookieofTheEmpire · 21/10/2024 21:19

I'm week erm... 6.
I've lost 24lb.
Face, boobs, a bit from my tummy too I think but that's it!

howdoIrecover · 21/10/2024 22:15

Thanks so much for all your replies! It’s really motivating to hear that so many of you saw results in your face and stomach first—that’s exactly where I’m hoping to lose! It’s great to know that the progress starts showing in those areas. Your experiences are really helpful, and I’m feeling much more optimistic about my own journey now.
Although, let’s be honest, I don’t have much in the boob department to lose, so if they disappear first, I’m going to need a magnifying glass to find them! 😂

Keep up the amazing work, ladies!

I’m not sure where I lost it from first but I seem to have lost most of it from my tits 🤣🤣

Oh would love to loose these huge norks.

OhHaiOwlInYourTowel · 21/10/2024 22:19

7 months in now almost. And it just came off all over really - like I was made of butter and a tiny layer came off each week (what a weird analogy! Sorry!)

I've lost 5 and a half stone now and I'm about there I think

Are you all manically exercising?

Adelstrop · 22/10/2024 08:30

I've lost weight before, and it takes ages for me to go down a dress/trouser size, but when I do, I go down several sizes quite quickly. I'm 20 lbs down and don't really notice a difference except in my face - its no longer so mortifying seeing myself on Zoom! We'll all get there if we persist.

No, I don't do any organised exercise. I do do quite a lot of steps every day, about 10-15k, just with dog walk, school run, other bits. But no gym classes or anything like that. And I did the same activity before MJ. I'm 25lbs down now just from reduced food intake.

Prescription only but you do an online consultation. DM me if you'd like a discount code as I have one for £100 off.
