Yes me! I’m going to look online for some needles so I can get the bonus dose out and I’ll do it a day (maybe two) early as so hungry and wanting to eat crap!

Hi @JasonTindallsTan

Sorry to go off topic but i just wanted to say Hi, Not sure why/how you chose your username but it did make me giggle. We have always taken the piddle out of him for his day glo colour, which luckily he takes very well.

Did you do it all at once ? Thining of doing the bonus dose of 2.5 tomorrow, which would be 2 days after my 4th dose. Or not sure I should maybe wait till Tuesday ?

I thought I was doing okay but I’ll drink even more. Some paracetamol seemed to solve it. I tried taking a nap but it was so sore I couldn’t sleep. Perhaps my body is in shock from the reduction in calories for the past two days 😂quite different to normal

Does anyone do weight/lifting sessions? I'm at the end of week 1 & will see a loss but my strength was really jacking today and I had to go down from what I usually manage in both upper and lower body. (I'm no pro though!!)

Lacking not jacking!!

Anyone else noticed lower suppression during ovulation week?

I was bloody starving last week, back to normal this week.

Don't know if I'm constipated got a bug or if it's the jab.... I've got a majorly upset tummy and have just started throwing up but I feel constipated. Feeling so poorly not sure if I need to be worried!

Yes I’ve found I feel weaker on mounjaro. Not sure if it’s just my mind or really a problem.

Is that a side effect?

Just weighed in. I lost 5.5lb which is great, but I sneak peeked earlier in the week and it was looking more like 7 so I am having to forcibly remind myself that this is a really good first week. Everyone is welcome to tell me not to be a twat.

Don't be a twat.

(Though I'd be exactly the same)

🤣 thank you

First weigh-in tomorrow! I've also just had a grocery shop of healthy, nutritious food delivered.

Does anyone 'tinker' with the doses/ frequency? My supression is amazing so far, e.g. today I had a very healthy vegetable dish and nothing else, no desire for anything else, just large glasses of water all the time, can´t get enough of them.

So I'm thinking about ether reducing doses slightly (e.g inject at 0.8, not 1) or injecting every 8-9 days instead of 7. Obviously to make the medicine last longer.

Also, has anyone skipped weeks, e.g. when going on holiday? Is that a bad idea? Not that I wanted to 'pig out', but feel like if my suppression is amazing and I eat well without it, do I really need it every week? (Aware of the 30-day expiry date, so would leave a gap in between opeing a new pen)

Just some throughts, I'm probably being an idiot.

Obviously you can't take birth control every other day or something and expect it to be effective, so wonder if Mounjaro works on the same principle or not! Does it start some processes in the body whereby taking it very consistently is essential?

Don't be a twat @MsRumpole 😂
My first week I lost 4 lbs, which I'd be thrilled with on any other diet attempt but I was hoping to be one of those people who lose a stone or two in their first week. Every pound counts though - onwards and downwards.

I MUST stop being a twat 🤣

@Odfod I haven't been able to lift weights since starting, I just don't have my usual strength but I think compared to some side effects that's ok for me! I do love lifting but I wasn't losing any weight and it just got to the point where I really wanted to see the scales go down!

I had 2 boiled eggs for brekkie as knew I was going out for a roast lunch and wow, I feel so full now. I skipped the yorkie but had the roasties and veg with chicken. Couldn't stomach the cauliflower cheese at all! I inject on a Tuesday and seem to feel quite hungry Tues/weds/Thurs then suppression is high at weekends which isn't necessarily a bad thing as weekends have always been my downfall, just wish I had a bit more suppression earlier in the week. Currently sitting at around an 8/9lb loss and Tuesday will be 4th jab so not too bad. Would've loved a stone in the month but we'll see 🙏🏻

Just weighed in and injected number 4. I’ve kept hold of the pen in case I want to do the golden dose next week, or if my new pen doesn’t arrive in time as it took ages last time.

I’ve lost 3 lbs, so that’s 9 in total over three weeks. I’m happy with that. It puts me at 15st 1.6lbs so I’m hoping to tip under into 14st next week.

Hello. Feeling very nervous but I've just done my first order for MJ on med express. Sounds like it'll take a few days but I am tentatively joining this thread. My bmi is 33 atm, I've lost about 5lbs naturally but it's taken me a whole year!!

Will be following this thread with interest.

Quick question, I'm assuming you can still get MJ through med express when your bmi drops below 30? As I noticed it says for first orders your bmi needs to be above this.

@rocketgal
Yep I'm just feel weaker & everything felt heavier.

I’ve been doing weights for a couple of years. Only on week 2 and have been super vigilant about protein, also take magnesium and turmeric daily. So far I’ve felt fine, although I am worried about losing strength.

Just taken W2 jab. Thought I'd not got it all out so rejabbed and realised I had so now have two puncture marks. Taking on the twat crown 👑 🤣 Will weigh in the morning for my loss for W1.

Newcastle ST holder, Jase’s teeth and tan are the stuff of legend 😂

Also a friend suggested she had stronger suppression when jabbing the thigh and arm rather than stomach. Might have to give it a go and see if there's anything in it!

Hi
I have just taken my 1st injection of Mounjaro. I do have health anxiety and I have had it in the fridge for the last 4 weeks summing it the courage to use it. Tonight I have geared myself up and taken the plunge. What type of side effects did you have as my anxiety is starting to kick in and I just need some grounding advice.
