So went up to 5mg yesterday and woke up at 2am feeling so sick. Had a wander about, cooled off, went to the loo and managed to get back to sleep. I had a PT session at the gym at 7 and felt reasonable but a bit iffy. Had to bail out about halfway through and threw up on my way home, felt like last night's salmon just didn't sit well.

I'm still feeling slightly green and just hoping that was it. I'm a bit sad as I had really dodged side effects until now. But hoping my body adjusts quickly.

I am however burping like crazy, and it all tastes like last night's salmon.

Urghhh the constipation the last two weeks has been appalling and the reason why the scales haven't shown any weight loss.
I finally expelled it by taking three max strength senokot on consecutive days.
I'm on iron and cocodamol neither of which helps.
It's weigh day tomorrow and I'm hoping the senokot induced landslide will have worked.

Hi everyone, end of W2 for me and I've lost another 1.7lbs, happy with this, lost so much in W1. Have lost over half a stone in 2 weeks so happy with that. I also had 2 meals out. Scales only moved today after being stubborn all week. Have a drinks party tonight and meal out tomorrow.

Would love to get under 12st before Christmas but not sure it'll happen! Jab day today, still feeling suppression whereas this time last week I was feeling hungry.

I'm going to order the 5mg pen by the end of the week as I don't want it to be too delayed over the Christmas rush.

CW 12st 2.7lb
SW 12st 10.4lb
GW 9st 7lb

Hello 11s - 👊- not seen you in some time. (Target is 10s, which I can't remember seeing in 30+years)

Daily weigh today was 11 13.75 - I'll take that. Really pleased after my stall in an indulgent last week.

Am W5D4 - first week on 3.75 which kinda feels like the 2nd week i had on 2.5 - enough suppression, but not loads. Will stick to this for a 2nd week but expect I'll then head up to 5.

Just that last 3/4 lb to get me to a full stone off which, if I have achieved in 6 wks, will be just amazing.

Anyone having issues with anxiety since starting mounjaro ?

No not anxiety in fact the opposite, much calmer generally and less stressed. However I have had a couple of moments of feeling suddenly very very low. They have passed quickly and so I am not worried too much but keeping an eye on it. I have had clinical depression and anxiety issues in the past so it may be unconnected with MJ

I've also had the opposite, much calmer and more focused.

Is it anxiety about mounjaro or in general? I hope you are okay.

Had my 4th jab on Tuesday and the scales seem to be creeping up. Up 0.3kg since Monday. Hoping it's a blip. Has anyone else had similar? I'm wondering if that means it's time to move up a dose. I've been reluctant so far as suppression is strong still. I'm eating around 1000kcal a day max.

Phew, after a phew days of the scales being up they have dropped again.

SW 13st 3 on 9 November

So that's 10lb in just under 5 weeks, very happy.

eek changes are happening!

included a pic from March when I was at my heaviest. The last scan I did was in September, lost half a stone on my own now I’m just 1/2 away from another stone on MJ 🥳

it’s sadly looking like excess skin is going to be an issue for me but I’ll cross that bridge later it is still healthier to lose weight and have the pouch than it is to be fluffy all over!!

@N27 that's brilliant progress. Where do you get these images/measurements done? So interesting 🤔

It’s an app called MeThreeSixty - completely free!

Exact opposite. I am a lot more relaxed and positive. It could be because I am outdoors more walking and losing weight

@N27 cool. Thanks. I'll have a look.

@Pumpkinforever would agree, feel less anxious than before, part of me thinks it’s because I feel better with some weight off, clothes fit better, fresh air etc and in better control of things, I don’t think we can underestimate that eating week makes such a difference than eating crap x

Week 6 I think & it's jab day. Staying on 5. For the last few days I've been eating more but being mindful to make good choices. No side effects now except for feeling really cold all the time.
Congratulations on the fab weight losses. 11lb in total for me, which I'm happy with.

Happy dance… 11st 6 on the scales today. Officially closer to 11st than 12st.

Eating has been terrible today. Work was close to major incident declaration and totally mad. I’ve had a Greek yogurt and chia seeds plus a satsuma and now feel like I could go to bed right now (although dc might disagree).

I'm not weighing until Saturday. Been super strict with my diet all week so hopefully I'll be properly in the 12s. Had a kimchi bowl tonight for dinner. I'm constipated which is not v nice 😭

Me too, but I think mine is also linked to the iron tablets I’m taking for my low ferritin. I really wish my gp would allow me to have an iron infusion and be done with it.

I’m drinking lots of water 💦

@TeenLifeMum I'm trying weetabix and some wine tomorrow (not together 😂). I want it sorted before I step back on the scales! Will try more water too

I’m having one more glass of water but that’s it or I’ll be up in the night!

Weetabix & wine must be a Christmas special somewhere @DarkForces maybe with Prosecco?

So charity shop were very polite today but basically said that they didn’t want my size 20 fatty clothes even if some still had price tags on - so I had the walk of humiliation back to my car with my proposed donations.😳. Not saleable was the phrase used.

uggghhh terrible day.
First my scales ran out of battery. Just shows how much I’ve been using them 🤣.
Then I basically stuffed my face all day. I was so hungry and wanting the worst kind of food. It’s day 26 of my cycle so I’m guessing that’s why. Sigh.

Just took my first 5mg jab. I almost immediately feel nauseous which mirrors how I felt with the first couple of 2,5mg injections which were deffo higher suppression than I have felt in the last couple of weeks. I tried to take the bonus dose from the 2.5 but although I could get the end to twist round, the plunger wouldn’t push the liquid out as it didn’t go high enough so that was annoying.

I anticipate a day of feeling a bit wonky tomorrow if previous experience is anything to go by.

That’s awful - and in my experience - rubbish. I have a friend who does incredibly well reselling plus size stuff she buys at charity shops and car boots. There is a huge market for it. So the snooty Chazza bints can shove it!
