I am 0.6lb from dropping into the next stone. Absolutely fuming haha! Hopefully over the weekend.

Morning all. Congrats on all the losses and to everyone feeling a bit rotten I hope it passes soon.

End of week 8 for me today.
1.8lbs off this week.
16.8 in total means I'm averaging 2.1lbs a week.

I've got another 5mg pen to start today.
I'd have liked to have done a few months longer but this might need to be my last one as we're hopefully moving house and conveyancers aren't cheap.

@Mounjaropen I think I expelled 9 stone!

Been doing a bit of reading around sulphur burps and how to minimise D&V with mounjaro and apparently avoiding sulphur rich foods can help. Things like eggs, cheese and cruciferous veggies. Watermelon and pineapple too - which is what triggered my 'episode' this week. So I'm going to try that next week and be a sulphur free zone 48 hours after I jab.

Ooh interesting. Pineapple is my go-to clear out foodstuff at the moment, so that makes sense. 😂

I’ve lost my way a bit. Suppression following my first 7.5mg dose last week has been poor. I’ve basically eaten crap for a week. I’ve not lost any weight since Christmas. Need to try and get this back under control. Second 7.5mg taken tonight. Hoping for better suppression this week.

You have done so well! I’ve lost bugger all since Xmas too but I know I can do this. You’ve got this too 💪🏻 keep going xx

I'm at the airport waiting to board my horrible overnight flight home.

I'm quite happy with how I managed here in the US, but as I normally inject on a Thursday, suppression had really worn off today and a large handful of peanut M&Ms happened... Oops! I'll inject when I get 🏡 tomorrow afternoon, and I guess I'll try to be very good this weekend.

I tend to relax a bit at the weekend, I figure I do enough exercise in the week to compensate for wine.. Peanut m&ms are delish so I reckon I’d have done the same 😂 safe flight!

Great losses! Good luck with the house move.

@Mounjaropen I know what you mean about people not saying anything! I've been going along thinking it must not be that obvious yet, until last weekend when I met up with an old (and cheerfully blunt) friend whose first words after "hello" were, "You've lost weight, are you feeling better?" And I was actually relieved because it's nice to know I really am looking better!

Re-weighed today and saw I was down nearly a kilogram after drinking lots of water, so I'm not stalled after all. Still have this "lurking illness" feeling and now my daughter has it too, poor lamb. She's in the middle of mocks and could do without covid-y weirdness right now.

I am reading the LED mask stuff with interest. Would love to hear how you're all getting on with it!

Been to Doctors today for BP which is high average from the 24 hr monitor, but only just, so a discussion was possible as to whether I should start medication, I don’t want to. Said I’d lost 2st 4lb so far and was using mounjaro, it is also on my record, and his response was ‘they are brilliant life changing drugs, aren’t they’ yes they are 😀 got weighed and he was wowed !

That's fantastic news! (Both the result & the GP😃)
