Mounjaro August starters thread 9 (OMG)

[NippyCrab]

Hey, since we are nearly at 970 posts i thought I'd take a turn and start a new thread...

So welcome everyone to our amazing August starters MJ super group ❤️

Xx

Sorry been sick @owlyboo

I'm not even gonna start my comments on ya 6 inches @Blondeshavemorefun lol. But I have to add a tikka masala being too spicy? . I'm so glad that hasn't happened to me. I like my spicy curry's I'd have a tikka masala as a cool down.

Honestly @morbidcuriosity it's so weird about my taste buds

I'm a bit of a wimp so would never have a hot curry

But I can't believe food /dishes I've had many times before mj and enjoyed , that I can't tolerate now and find too hot and spicy

I'm gutted over my chilli chicken pizza. That was lovely Before aug 🥲

And seems no more curry's 🥲

I don't post nearly as much on here, still plodding along slowly and marvelling at some of your amazing losses.

Well done everyone

But as I lifted a huge 12kg bag of cat litter -that seems to be about half my height-today, making sad middle aged noises as I did, I thought, I've lost that!

So, for the new year, I'd like to lose another bag of cat litter by half term.

And then another by Easter holidays would be good.

As gardening season comes round again, and I need to do lots, by April I might measure my losses in bags of either top soil or concrete

So @NippyCrab I'm afraid you didn't win your bet... weigh day... drumroll I lost 4lbs! Smashing my Christmas target I've officially lost over 4 stone!! (9lbs was pre MJ) I've now lost 57lbs!!!

Feels quite surreal if I'm honest!

9lbs to target, although that was my original target that will just take me to being okay in the bmi. I would ideally like to lose a few more pounds slowly after that to give me a buffer zone for holidays etc!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Yay @owlyboo! That's awesome news, well done!!

Thanks @weaseleyes! When I first started MJ I started ticking off each time I weighed and lost on a chart. (The few boxes at the start without the purple are what was pre MJ) I can't actually believe I have checked off 26 boxes and only have 8 left to go.

Hitting that 4 stone before Christmas if the BEST present I could have had!!

That really is amazing progress and so lovely to see it laid out like that! I'm always setting myself grand plans and failing them (a/ they were over-ambitious and I take too much on b/ I'm also very lazy). It's fabulous to do something that is succeeding.

4st that's incredible! Well done!

Same @weaseleyes I've been 'trying to lose the weight' for at least three years now and failing miserably so for it to have finally happened is just great!!

Thanks @WorriedRelative !

Hi everyone, I managed to lose tracks of all the threads but glad I found the new one!

I have had a strange few weeks. I’m currently taking 12.5mg but have had low appetite suppression throughout. 10mg was much more effective. I wonder if I have a dodgy pen or if things have just slowed down to a crawl for me.

Anyway one week I gained weight (0.15kg) and then I lost that the next week, then this week I maintained. So seems like no overall loss this month.

Wow. Amazing @owlyboo Very jealous at 4lb. Well done !!

Whoops hit post

And 4st. Well done

Waves to @eeeeeeeee glad you found us

Strange a month of sts but that's still good

Oh no @eeeeeeeee how frustrating I'm also on 12.5 (first week this week) seems pretty similar to 10 for me just slightly more nauseous but nothing horrendous. Have you had lots of meals/celebrations with it being Xmas? Could just be your body readjusting? Frustrating none the less!

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun ive been steadily losing 2lbs a week for the last 6 weeks so with the STS last week I suppose that 4lbs evens out to my 2lbs a week! I actually did a little excited yelp when I stood on the scales today 😂

@owlyboo well done xx

Well done @owlyboo thats fab. 4lb in a week AND a 4 st total!
I’m feeling decidedly queasy today and am wondering if this is the start of side effects … took my 2nd 7.5 mg jab yesterday . I really hope not as I’m out tonight at friends for our annual get together .. plus obv next week!
I’ve had no real side effects prior to this so hoping it’s something else. About to wrap up on the sofa and no doubt will have a snooze!

Thanks @Motnight and.@wohmum hope it's nothing and goes away soon!

@owlyboo OMG 😲 😍 wooohoooo, 4lbs and the 4st conquest, what a huge achievement you will feel fantastic i bet. Xx

DH said to me today not to lose much more weight. He thinks my goal of 11st is more than enough, maybe too much off but he said will give me good enough window. I don't know if I'm worried if it's enough and I'm getting obsessed with this tummy fat not shifting. I can't risk the weight going on again and I wanted to make sure i have a big enough window to gain a little without worrying it was piling on. I was looking at myself in the mirror and could see on my tummy the cellulite whereas before there was such a tyre of fat and flab it was just firm and round. I can see in clothes my legs do look a bit too skinny compared to the rest of me, it's my middle that's my problem. I've started going down doses now, not that I was on a big dose (can see Blondes laughing) but I was on 4.17mg so I've taken 3.75 today. And I'll go down each week. Another concern is that i seem to be losing each week after my 4 week plateau and what if I get to a place the MJ is coming out my system and I'm still losing and don't want too.

Urgh brain is on overtime. My stepson and his girlfriend were here this morning and I've not seen her for a while and I saw her face was a look of a bit shocked when she saw me, I had black jeans on and a blouse but my hair is also totally different so maybe it was the fact I was dressed a bit nicer and had a different style. She did say oh wow you look lovely.

I'm wondering if we can get to an obsessed to be skinny and stay skinny stage on this drug.

@wohmum hope queasyness goes x

Thanks @NippyCrab. ME certainly does change your life. I usually manage ok day to day by careful pacing but the recent bout of pneumonia has caused a big flare up. I hate it.

@NippyCrab I think it's good to think about not going to far definitely as judging by some of the people that pop up on my tik tok you can definitely get obsessed with being 'skinny'

I'm sure you look fabulous! As long as you're within a healthy weight be that the lower or higher end I think any of those weights are fine for you as long you're happy with how you look and feel.

Oh and thank you!

Now I would never laugh @NippyCrab at your lower doses 😛😛😂😂

If it works for you don't knock it

Skinny legs ? I would love skinny legs

Guess if still losing you eat a few more calories

I must admit I have zero fears about somehow still losing when I don't want to. My arse could turn into a flamingo before that happens.
