Mounjaro / Tirzapetide January Starters

[Sebsaloysius]

Anyone interested in a new thread for those of us taking the plunge this month?

I’ve ordered some Green supplement on the advice of friends who say they feel really energised taking it daily . As I’m struggling to eat my five a day I thought I would give it a go.

Just weighed this morning for first time in a few weeks.

Start weight on Jan 1st was 12 stone, BMI 27

Today's weight 9 stone 12, BMI 22.5!!

First time I've been in the 9 stone something's for about 15 years!!!!

Thank you @Souredgrapes!

This morning I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch and beans on toast for dinner - half a tin and one slice of toast with a sprinkle of cheese!

I feel fine!

@MathsMagpie , that very similar to the kind of things I eat. Sweet jacket potatoe tonight with a sprinkling of cheese , no lunch today so I had a chicken breast with Nando dressing too . X

I just thought I'd pop in on this thread which I joined in Jan but haven't said much on although I have been watching everyones progress 💙

I started on 20th Jan and as of yesterday took my 4th 5mg jab.

SW 17 stone
CW 15 stone 2lbs
GW 11 stone

So I have reached the two stone mark and am really happy with that. My bonus dose was huge, around 7ml, and I have definitely felt more sick on it.

I will try 7.5 on Friday but can go back to 5 or maybe 6 if the side effects are too much.

Morning @MathsMagpie morning @Zempy . Great losses again . 40lbs is staggering ! I’ve lost 2 since since starting MJ like you Zempy and the difference I feel and look is huge !

i got really hungry last night and wanted wine , I managed to avoid over eating and the wine but I may jab a day early this week ( today instead of tomorrow ) . This was also the first week I’ve have undesirable side effects ( very bad diaorriah) so by yesterday I was likey feeling pretty empty !

ive 2 doses left of 7.5mg . I’ve ordered one more 7.5 mg ( cancelled my titration up to 10mg as I don’t think I need that level of suppression ) . Then plan is then to start coming back down , a couple of months on 5 . hope I can stay on 5mg for as long as I can get my prescription . A few years I hope . Maybe they will only let me have 2.5 . I’m not sure what the rules are .

Good Luck with the forthcoming week ! X

Haven’t posted for a while. Lost 30lbs so far and really starting to see and feel the difference. Fitting back into some of my old clothes which is great. I’ve staying on 5mg for my 3rd pen and think I’ll re-order the same for my 4th pen. It works perfectly for me and I’ve had zero side effects the whole time.

How’s everyone doing ? @Pasttheline @Zempy @MathsMagpie . Hope all is going well . X

Oh wow, Wednesday already!!

I feel so in control. I’ve ordered a small Chinese tonight and I’m looking forward to enjoying it without over indulging and feeling sluggish after!

how are you all?

I am doing very well thank you.

SW 8 Jan 13 st 7

CW: 11 st 4.

Am on 7.5 and getting great suppression but no side effects.

great losses again , well done . I hope you enjoyed your Chinese @MathsMagpie . Well deserved .

@zempy do you think you will move up from 7.5mg ? I’ve stayed in 7.5mg as the thought of 10mg makes me feel a bit queezy. I’ve no unwanted side effects on 7.5 but it does make eating anything a bit difficult on days 2 3 and 4 . I’m nearing my goal slowly but the weekly weight loss is slight compared to the early days which is to be expected .
I’ve no idea how maintenance dosing works for longer term use so I need to contact my prescriber and ask . I suppose I’m a bit concerned when I say I’m at a healthy BMI they will stop prescribing.

Hope you both have a great week . X

Still going strong! Trying to decide where my actual goal is and what my wider plan is now. Never imagined I’d be at nearly 12 stone!

Well done @MathsMagpie . You must be feeling great !
I know what you mean about deciding on a goal . I’m well into a healthy BMI and wonder if and when my prescriber might stop. They asked a few questions before they dispatched the most recent pen . I want to stay on the medication for as long as they will let me have it . I’m not really losing much now ( 1/2 a pound this week ) but I like the alcohol suppressant element.

Sw: 12 stone
CW: 9 stone 6

Nearly there :)

@BonkersBaddieswhat’s your goal? Well done!

@BonkersBaddies . Well done. X

Moved upto 10mg today, I think I’m now aiming for 10 stone as a goal, but that would still put me in the overweight band with a bmi of 25.6! Seems crazy but I know deep down bmi is not the ultimate and I can’t help being shorter. I think to be out of that category I need to be closer to 9stone.

Has anyone thought about an eventual exit strategy? I’m worried about putting it all back on but I definitely feel like I’ve made some very genuine lifestyle changes since Jan.
