Mounjaro October starters - Thread 6!!

[Fizzleaawayy]

Thread 5 is nearly full as we are zooming through them quickly.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 🎄🤶🏻❄️🎅🏼

Now to continue the weight loss….

I have had a good Christmas lost 6 lbs this week but have been out running loads and had upped my dose to 7.5 so had pretty high suppression.

Due to jab on Sunday but going to push it to Wednesday as my wedding is on Tuesday and I would like to have a few glasses of Prosecco. I have tried drinking once before and had a horrendous reaction, not drunk but instantly hungnover. By witing till Wednesday I'll only have 2.5 mg in my system on wedding day so hopefully should be able to have a couple drinks.

Planning to get back on it next week but super happy as now officially 2 stone down and no longer obese just overweight. 😁

Checking in!! Thread no.6 🥳 introduces the new year we go..!

I just did the 7.5mg in the end. It was my bonus dose and I had about 11mg left in my pen and it was such a shame to waste the rest!

I increased to 50 clicks of a 5ml pen on Monday and Tuesday night I was throwing up in the middle of the night and dicky tummy, was ok Xmas day and then yesterday was ill again and today. Seemed to have the sulphur burps for the first time. Only went up to 3.75 last week after 2 months on 2.5 and was fine, thought I’d gradually increase up to 5 but this has knocked me about. Did have a takeaway Tuesday night, not loads though as I had eaten out at lunchtime. Wonder if it could have been that but then weird that I felt fine Xmas day but ill again Boxing Day.

@Losingthetimber i noticed on the last thread that our stats are the same, sw, cw , gw and height and we seem to be following a similar trajectory. Also to the point that I wfh and haven’t seen colleagues in person since before i started in October. Next in office day is Feb so it will be interesting if anyone notices as hopefully I’ll be 3 stone down by then!

Why did you waste that much? Did you not want to take another dose from pen? I keep in fridge and dose it out including bonus

Checking in for thread 6, will be back to post tomorrow x

I am so pleased with myself. Just weighed and I've stayed the same (well lost 100g, but as I track in pounds, it's not registering).

So week 11/Christmas weigh in is STS, overall 21 lbs off.

Anyone else had a long wait with IQ Doctor? This is my third time ordering with them and they are usually so fast. I order Thursday evening and it's normally dispatched before 3pm on Friday and delivered Saturday morning. This time I ordered on Thursday 19th and it changed to order assembly by Friday 20th afternoon and it hasn't changed since. I can't see anything on their website about their opening hours over Christmas/New Year. Thankfully I don't need the pen for a couple more weeks but the lack of updates from the is quite frustrating

weigh in day and I’m 1.5 pounds down. But had a disordered moment on the scales.

When I stood on the rather sensitive scales on my slopey floor (v old house) it was a solid 2lbs down, but the app didn’t update so went back and did it again a few mins later and it measured 0.4 of a pound heavier.

I then thought fuck sake, but gave my head a wobble, as it’s half a pound and who cares, as worrying about half a pound is disordered and messed up. So will take the 1.5 lbs down. After all it’s all just about time.

I knew this week was slower, not as I did anything different really. Just it was slower, as sometimes happens , as it’s not linear.

so 4th x 7,5mg done. Need to decide next week if I attempt a bonus dose with insulin needle, I couldn’t bring myself to do it last time, or go to 10. I think I may move to 10, and start trying the needles again on that dose, as I’m hoping to stay on ten. But have all week to decide.

@Mrsmajeeka , I actually noticed the same!

I took a lesser dose and regained my appetite big style on Christmas Day. I've eaten so much more. Weigh in day is tomorrow but I had a sneaky peek today. I've gained 1.5lb but I am also very bunged up so I hope for some movement before tomorrow! I am happy enough with that though.

I ordered with IQ on the 17th and it was posted on the 18th and I received it on the 20th but that was down to Royal Mail! Luckily it was still cold!

I can’t see anything about being closed over the Christmas period, I’d ring them or send them an email.

Read this on a FB forum today and so true.

Thought you guys might benefit from what my brilliant doctor said to me last Friday:
“Obesity is the only health condition people think you need to ‘earn’ the right to get help for. And that’s ridiculous. Treatment for obesity improves so many other conditions (diabetes, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, heart disease, lung disease, mobility…) that you’d have to be an absolute idiot to think people should be refused treatment because Joe the Keyboard Warrior thinks you need to suffer.”

I’ve just found the new thread! I have stayed the same over Christmas. Pleased with that. I’ve been very careful with food and extra calories have been for some wine. Next jab is tomorrow evening. I’ve now had 3 x 3.5mg so I may go to 5mg tomorrow. Hesitating slightly as I’ve had burps and indigestion.

Morning all. I'm back from all the gorgeous newborn snuggles with DGD having not jabbed for just over 2 weeks since that strangely scary extreme D&V episode. I have gained 4lbs in that time. I'm not really surprised but a bit disappointed in myself as I've been very restrained, stuck to my 2 small meals a day and think the only extras I've had are half a dozen Lindt chocs, 3 mince pies and a couple of Limoncellos in that time. Oh well. I'll be starting again this evening and will carry on with 2.5mgs as usual and hope side effects are minimal. I'm prepping myself today by drinking lots of water and eating 2 small high protein meals. I've loved everyone's updates and looking forward to carrying on in the New Year. We are off to Gran Canaria next weekend for a week so assuming minimum side effects after tonight's jab I'll be jabbing again before we go and as soon as we return.

So weigh day for me and Iv STS!!! Super duper pleased with that.

I had a lovely Christmas and I already feel back in control.

I did however wake up needing the loo this morning urgently and it’s continued all morning.

Next problem… New Year’s Eve and it’s my birthday before my next Saturday weigh in. Husband has proposed going for a nice roast in a country pub for my birthday so we may do that.

I would like a small loss next week though as this was my first STS!

Thanks I tried to call and they aren't answering so I sent an email. I'm wondering if they are shut for Christmas week. I'm not due to start that pen until 13th Jan so I have plenty of time I'm just surprised that it's taking so long and I've had no communication from them normally they are brilliant.

I looked at their website and there is nothing on there at all about them being closed over Xmas so I agree it is poor customer service.

I bet it gets posted Monday.

I normally always order mine on a Monday AM. It normally gets posted the same day and then it’s here by the Tuesday. This time was a little slower as they posted a day later then normal.

I can imagine they will have loads of new order the first week of Xmas when all the people who we’re waiting for Christmas to start their diet finally order.

OMG, I just realised that I actually lost 1lb this week!! I thought I weighed a lb heavier then I actually did 😂

Wooo 1lb off!

I’m hungrier today, I often am the day I jab as it builds back up, but defo ready for 10mg I think,

I haven’t told anyone I’m on MJ, but I wasn’t going to lie if any friends asked. After I passed out the other week though, I know feel like everyone will just blame MJ for it. And I know it may well have been MJ that made me pass out, but now I’ll feel silly for being on it after that happened. So I’ll either say I’m not on it if asked, or will have to say I didn’t start until the new year.

Morning all and thanks for the new thread.
I've had a lovely Christmas. I took 5mg the week before last and it kicked my ass - very nauseous, tired and just bleurgh for 3 days. So I dropped back to 3.75 last week. It worked well for me, enough suppression to not go OTT (and boy do I usually go OTT - I can easily put on half a stone over Christmas week and usually a stone over December). Anyway, I enjoyed what I had - a few crisps, mince pie, couple of chocolates and plenty for protein and veg.
Weighed this morning and I've STS which I am absolutely delighted with. As others have said, I feel completely back in control today - upped my water, having soup for lunch and a salad for tea, no feelings of deprivation at all.

Jab day for me tomorrow although we are visiting family so might hold off until Monday just so I'm not rushing it, also got to decide if to try 5mg again.

Lovely updates from everyone. Thank you. And happy Chrimbo-limbo

Hello to you all, jab day again for me and I'm pleased to say I've gained no Christmas weight 🥳 frigging delighted! I'm back on track after a few treats here and there, I'll be honest I wasn't feeling at all festive this year so it wasn't hard to keep my eyes off the mince pies!! I've put some clothes on today and realised they are way too big. The top was hugging me in all the wrong places not so long ago.. going to go up to the full 5mg from this week (wk10) and order another 5mg pen to continue at that dose if it doesn't completely kick my arse. What's your NYE plans? We have an invite to a big party which I'm contemplating-much prefer New Year's Eve to Christmas so I'm tempted to buy a dress and go for it. 💃

Firstly I wouldn’t have got another full dose out of the pen. Also I don’t keep it in the fridge after opening, and as it was the bonus dose, it’s already been open nearly a month and it would take it past the 30 days. I don’t usually have that much extra left over but I didn’t take a full dose last week. Not sure yet if I am going up to 10mg next week or staying on 7.5mg so I didn’t want to take any extra.

Thanks for the new thread. Weigh and Jab day for me today and pleased to say I’ve lost 1lb this week. That’s such a surprise as even though I didn’t over do anything on Christmas Day, I still ate and enjoyed some treats so that’s good at least. In less than 3 months on MJ, My BMI has gone from 33 to 27 and this has made me so happy. I’ll continue on 5mg tonight but I’ve now bought my 4th and probably final pen and it’s 7.5mg but I’m still losing and having suppression on 5mg so may stick to it
