What sort of things are you looking for? Veg side dishes? 7lb is a great achievement. 💪🏻

I’m alternating between left and right sides of the stomach.Not noticed any issues thus far.

Great weight loss so far! Have a great holiday!

I’ve started listening to a 10m sleep meditation if I wake. It really helps go back into a deep sleep.

Is cooking from scratch an option open to you?

So far noticing nothing with the increased 5 dose which I injected this morning! Hungrier than I have been since starting. Please say it will kick in soon!!!

w3 injection just done / a day earlier so if I can't sleep tonight (which has been the case the last two weeks) at least I can nap tomorrow!
Good luck everyone.

So why no eggs in the first few days?

3 jab just done, 2 days late as I still had suppressed appetite.

i have to say third one was easier, getting the hang of it now.

hopefully off to 💤

Just catching up with the new thread and I’m so impressed at the losses, amazing! As long as your body doesn’t disagree with the medication it’s a total game changer. I’m really focusing on my portion size and noticing how much less I need than I would normally eat. I’m full of energy and feel fine on less than 1/2 my normal portion size. I guess that’s how I got here!

Hi OP
Can you change the name of the thread? It's a bit gross.

Thank you. Not sure really. Just looking for tips to make cooking Christmas dinner easier when I've now got no interest in it. I'm cooking everyday but have lost all enthusiasm for cooking on MJ.

It's proving pretty accurate in my case! Apparently only when I eat actual egg.

@Mounjaropen I do like cooking from scratch but between a chronic illness, heavy workload and fussy family it's harder than usual at the minute. The jabs made my fatigue worse overall in the first month although more recently it's not as clear cut. I'm hoping all the side effects will settle.

After stalling all week 1.2 kilos off this morning and that was after a glass of water so would have been more otherwise

W2 D7

OMG I’m hungry again! I think it’s because a) this week’s injection leaked a bit so likely got a smaller dose b) I’ve upped my exercise.

In the gym yesterday all I could think of was dinner, so drove home and had 1,000 calories in a sitting! Thankfully all healthy fresh food and good balance but still.

I thought I might feel really full this morning like others have described but now I’m craving breakfast!

Will bring the injection forward to today. Previously eating enough was a problem on MJ but last couple of days I’m genuinely hungry.

Week1 -11lb
Week2 -3lb

Took injection #3 lastnight. Weighed this morning. -11lb over two weeks which I'll take. Biggest thing for me is cutting out bread - still crave it so that's definitely willpower needed on top of whatever the jab is doing for me.

Annoyed with self as went way over calories yesterday for no real reason. Food was fine, but a Gin and tonic, 2 Brandy cocktails and a glass of wine and that's 2000 calories right there. Feel ok this morning except for a mild hangover ish headache.
In fairness that's about half of what I would normally drink when out on a Saturday night so I suppose there is still some moderation there, but I am annoyed with myself for not making better choices. Could have had four gin and slims for instance which would have been easier on the content.
And I'm hungry this morning which I always am after drinking. Again though, where before I would have had a massive breakfast, probably a big old sandwich for lunch and full roast dinner in the evening, I won't do that today-(mainly on willpower however as I've no suppression today, and could easily devour a full English!) so still a win, but I think I'd got complacent about how well my brain re training was going re food and drink choices.

I'm dieting and trying to cut out (most) ultra processed food, and DH proudly presented me with a Pringles advent calendar this morning...

What do you think, should I LTB?

😂

Hang on, there is a Pringles advent calendar?!?! now I need to google that.

Saturdays, despite injecting in the morning, I always feel really hungry and this week I ended up binging. Really hoping the 5ml takes effect sometime soon as currently, nothing.

Really? It’s a bit of lightheartedness. And from what I’ve read, going to be largely accurate 😂

I'm tempted to leave because I didn't t get one - even though if he had got me one, I'd be leaving too 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe have a look at Mary Berry/Delia for make ahead dishes you can freeze. Then as the mood takes you in December, just make one at a time. For me, it’s just a big roast dinner. Pudding will be very non traditional. Leftovers for Boxing Day. Can you rope I. Anyone to help?

For sure 😂

Sounds fab though.

Hang in there, you’ e had some great losses so far!

If it helps, I had most of a bottle of whispering angel 😂 no hunger this morning, unsurprisingly I have a headache.

I’ll be mostly tree decorating today 🥳
