Mounjaro August starters #7

[Wingingit11]

Thread 7 for August starters. Congrats for sticking with us for (up to) 13 weeks now!

Morning August starters!

I haven't caught up with everyone's posts, there's been so many.

@NippyCrab been a grey morning here too, no rain yet but looks like it is threatening! Could just be one of those grey, cloudy days. Hope you don't get too wet!

I'm really tired today, been a really busy week at work again. Have absolutely zero motivation to do anything today! But will drag myself out with the hounds at lunchtime.

Yep my little crustian. I have measured and no change this week @NippyCrab

How are the spotty brats 😂

Sighs

I thought not eating 2 meals maybe this week would have meant lost 2lbs as def had a little suppression

I lost 8lbs in a month on 5mg and 10 lbs in month on 7.5mg if that helps?

Sharing my little table in case it helps anyone comparing doses!

Haloween dress for Saturday! To go with my black cat ears and tail 😂

Afternoon, I haven't lost anything for 3 weeks, despite being very careful with calories, protein etc. I'm on 5mg and also decided to do a 2nd month on it. I've ordered a 7.5mg and think I'm going to have to go up a dose. I'm a bit worried about side effects on 7.5mg. I do have suppression on 5mg, so no clue what's happening.
I take Vitabiotics Vitamin D 3000iu on recommendation of my doctor. I told her I had the spray and she reckons the tablets work better. I also have some bran flakes every day, helps that I've loved them since I was little, I know not everyone is a fan. Sultanas also have a similar effect to prunes, with not as strong taste. Hope everyone is well, have a lovely weekend x

Whitttwoooo @oowlyboo

@owlyboo gorgeous little slinky number there 😍

@CrazyGoatLady managed a walk with no rain, it's grey but warm. Muddy as a digger had been in the entrance to the walk. No dramas lol, I had a frazzled at 6am when knob dog ran in with a grass shit streamer for me to pull out his arse. Apart from that, all sane at the moment.

@Blondeshavemorefun that's pants! Don't skip meals! It's bloody hard, hugs from me and the Damnatians xx

@Snoopsteandcooper I was sts for 4 weeks it's flipping frustrating. I did feel I was slimmer so tried not to get too down. The focus is always on that number. X

I'm just heading to Markies to collect DH swim shorts because he's roped in to swimming next week haha. I bought jeans and 2 tops, smaller size. I've still not tried on my dungarees I bought. Get a grip Nippy!! 🙄

Ps, does anyone have the link to the weight plateau so I can send it to my friend? Xx

Yes it's given me the motivation to move up to 7.5mg, thanks.

Very weary. Unpleasantly busy and tiring week. I'm definitely a bit more tired dieting than I would be, but I guess that's only to be expected.

Hang in there plateauers. Looking like it will be a 1lb for me, but let's see what the weekend brings. Hopefully some rest and relaxation.

Hi. This is exactly the situation I find myself in too. I had decent suppression and no side effects on two month's of 5mg but it feels like it's not doing anything anymore? Definitely going to move up to 7.5mg when I re order next week.

@AdeloreSmore I can only look on in envy at your weight losses esp on lower doses

Awww @Snoopsteandcooper a plateau is hard. I had one for 3w. Hope for a whoosh for you

I am exactly the same 😢

I'm not even going to weigh myself this week as it's been a disaster diet wise. I'm still ill and barely moving but the steroids have made me crave stodgy white carbs. Mashed potato, white bread, crisps, plain biscuits - all I've been able to face for the last couple of days. I figured it better to eat something, anything, as I haven't been eating much for over a week.

I'm sure it will even itself out somehow.

1lb off for me this week. Sensible and unexciting except - I’m now in the 11 stone bracket, woo hoo! If I ended up securely in the 10 stone range I’d feel pretty happy, although I’m tentatively aiming for 9 stone. So it definitely feels like I’m in a better place.

Somewhat irritated by the fact that I woke up at 5, had a wee, weighed myself and was 2lb down. Went back to bed for a bit, then when I got up properly, had another wee and weighed again I’d gained a lb! I re-weighed myself about ten times but it just wouldn’t shift 😀 I think I may have broken the laws of physics. I was tempted to record the lower weight, but couldn’t erase the last figure from my mind. I’ll hopefully save it for next week.

Commiserations to stay the samers. Lots of us staying put or on smaller losses this week, so I’m sure it’s just a sign of our bodies settling in after the relentless regime since August.

I didn't skip meals. Meant 2 I couldn't eat all of them

Still worth weighing @poppym12

You may be surprised and even if gain (hopefully not) then next week it will be a whoosh and loss

Well done @weaseleyes

@Blondeshavemorefun ah okay, i meant to say earlier hope you and mini blondes are having a lovely HT.

@weaseleyes that's so weird ffs 🙄 😂 can someone who's brainy with bodies explain the rationale of this? I'd be on and off those scales too, the scales would be stomped on.

I feel your pain if you are on a plateau, it was the longest 4 weeks for mine.

I do have a LOT to lose! It probably has a bearing

I need to lose 5 prob 6st ideally but even then will be in 25 bmi

But if I lose more then I know I will look too gaunt for me and hard to maintain under 11s

Ohhh I get you now, that’s still good! If you continue to feel MJ is a bit slow in the future, would you consider switching to Wegovy? Some people have found different ones work better for them

Honestly I don't know @eeeeeeeee

Mj is more well known and meant to be better at weight loss then W

I'm just hoping when at the top dose I will get better results

Obv I am a high responder
