Mounjaro August starters thread 8

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Thought would do a new one as 7 nearly full

Welcome all.

Been 3mths now since we started.

Ha ha @Blondeshavemorefun I'm also blonde so it's the blind leading the blind but I only googled as @NippyCrab calories looks pretty accurate so I assumed kcal and cal must mean the same thing (like I said before I calorie counted for so long (and strictly) in the past I (unfortunately) know what calories are in most things! 😳😳

But you're right kj are not the same. I have no idea what the difference is just that they're different 😂

Your daughter is still off?! That's a long break?

Hi everyone! Back from my food heavy boozy weekend away and feel pretty disgusting. Really struggling to get back on calorie counting/being sensible since coming back but injected this evening so hoping high suppression tomorrow will help me get back on track. Had a brilliant weekend but it’s really thrown me! Also was in loads of photos which I normally avoid and it was shocking to see. I think I look huge in all of them and the realisation that those images are me 2 stone down have actually made me feel a bit defeated. Was feeling really good about how I was looking as had loads of comments but it’s clear to see from those pictures I’ve got a long way to go. Having said that, I want to lose another 6 stone ideally so that shouldn’t come as a shock!

My diet week starts on a Friday so wishing you all the best of luck for your week ahead!

Yep @owlyboo 2 sodding weeks. Back on the 11th

Ouch! 😂😂

Haha I'm also a wee blonde, a strawberry one lol so I think we are all leading each other astray 😂😂 thank you @owlyboo for the reassurance. @Blondeshavemorefun I'm saying to DH omg no wonder I'm not losing I'm doubling my intake ffs 😂
@Arraminta that's terrible!! Thank goodness you got that repaired! Bloody surgeons. Some HIIT would help but one session and that would be all I'd do in a day 😂

I’ve managed to hit my 800 calorie goal today thanks to some suggestions from you lovely lot. It was difficult and I didn’t want it, but I’ve done it. 3 days on the run of going over 800 now. Once I’ve had a good run at this level I’ll up it by 100 calories each week until I find a good balance between loosing weight but not too fast.

Still got awful diarrhoea, but employing a combination of Buscopan, paracetamol and hot water bottles to try and keep the cramps at bay. Going to stop the breakfast bran flakes for a while, as think they might be contributing to the diarrhoea.

Have been looking at ordering some other bits, clear whey, electrolytes etc but conscious of all the extra cost on top of the MJ. As expensive as these pens are, I think you could easily spend more on pills and potions to combat the side effects. I’ve got to keep a strict eye on the pennies at the moment, so haven’t ordered yet, but did grab a few protein breakfast drinks to have in for emergencies when I just can’t face food.

That's good you've managed that today, what about some 5% Fage yoghurt with chopped nuts, seeds and blueberries instead of Bran Flakes? Or a couple of eggs? With cherry tomatoes?
Hopefully you will have a settled night 💗

I'm due weighing tomorrow BUT I haven't pooed for 2 days despite the prunes. So I had 8 prunes yesterday,.nothing, I've had 6 tonight and 2 Dulcolax 😄💪💩💩

Wish me luck 🙏

That's good you hit @ChunkyMunky

@ooh @NippyCrab that's a lot of prune... Hope it does the trick gently and not in a huge rush!

@weaseleyes with your clicks I think you are 0.1 ml short. Small amounts can be difficult to do with precision. If you are worried, wait a couple of days and inject (syringe) 0.2ml. It's a bit easier to control.

You need to birth a poo baby !!

Ohh @NippyCrab I hope your prunes worked. I get the Fybogel sachets when I’m constipated but they do seem to take a couple of days to work. Best of luck for your weigh in.

Mostly settled night, only up once. Yogurt for breakfast this morning. Long busy day ahead so will need to keep my energy up.

Happy Friday everyone 🙂

Happy Friday Everyone.

I’ve finally hit my two and half stone mark 🙌🏼

Whoop! Whoop! @lmmj15 💃💃💃

OMG, prunes and Ducalax. This could be an epic baby! Get ready with names! 😳😱

Well done @immj15

Just about to get out of bed and wee, weigh and jab

Morning all, thank you for the new thread.

I'm doing ok, even though I don't post very much at the moment as life is busy. I was loosing suppression so I used my bonus dose to up my last 2 5's to 7.5. I was rather scared because of the side effects I've been having but it's actually been ok.

I went for a meal with DH last night and actually managed to fit into an outfit I last wore around 6 years ago! The meal was lovely but there's no way I could finish it, so I left what I didn't want. A major accomplishment as I'm another one that had it drilled into me that I need to eat everything on my plate.

Think many of us had that drilled into us @WitchDancer

@NippyCrab go art and poo my little crustian !!!

2lbs off for me. Whoop

So 1st 12lb off

And 1.1 before

Which means , counts on fingers

omfg 2st 13lbs in total 🙀🙀

Almost at 3st now if I include my 1.1 off via sw earlier in the year - which I think I will just add it to the amount now as struggle to juggle the two amounts

Let's hope next week I can lose that lb and be 3st lighter then April

Happy Friday all!

Well done @lmmj15

Great NSV @WitchDancer !!

Well done @Blondeshavemorefun we're (almost) weight twins I hit my three stone (with my 9lb previous) last week!

@NippyCrab I'm your poo twin 😳😂 let's hope we both have a happy labour today 😂😂 good luck with the weigh in!

Weigh day for me tomorrow 🤞🤞

Love it. Well done 👏

Weigh day today. 12 weeks done. 3 pens done, 1 x 2.5 and 2 x 5. Am moving up to 7.5 today and a bit apprehensive after the nightmare I had going up to 5. Fingers crossed I've built up a tolerance.
This week's NSV is a fab shopping trip with my daughter.....I bought a jumper from Hollister!! Not even the largest size they do! From a size 24 at the start of August to a 16-18 so far. So chuffed.
1.5lbs this week so still fairly consistent. 3st 7.5lbs gone forever :)

Wow @4pink1blue that's some very incredible losses. Well done you!! And well done on the NSV!

I've got one dose plus bonus left in a 5mg pen (second 5mg pen). I'm thinking of increasing my dose this weekend to somewhere btw 5 and 7.5 but I'd prefer to do it with clicks than a syringe.

So if 60 clicks are a full 5mg dose, if I then want to take 1 more mg to make total dose 6mg, how many more clicks do I need with a new needle?

Wow @4pink1blue that's an amazing loss and fab NSV

I'm still in same size clothing which is weird

@poppym12 1ml is 12 clicks of a 5 pen
