[FatGirlDosing]

The first thread is almost full so here’s a new one ready for the exciting journeys ahead!

Hello, may I join? My first pen of Mounjaro is due to be delivered tomorrow… I plan on starting tomorrow evening and I am so very nervous!

Welcome I'm also waiting for my first pen!

May I join too? My SheMed blood test is being done tomorrow. Hopefully start injections early next week.

Just stabbed the flab 🤣 for the first time. Funny how as soon as you've done it, you wait for something and, nothing happens haha! Will see what tonight brings though, hoping for minimal side effects ☝️

Hi all, checking in for thread two!

@stilllovingmysleep and @Kebabo welcome! Really reccomend checking out the first January thread for any tips, questions you might have on the very early days.

Checking in....

Day 5, week 2.

Thanks @FatGirlDosing

I'm doing my first tomorrow as well!

Thanks for starting the new thread @FatGirlDosing 🤗

Good luck to all those starting tomorrow!

First week done and second jab about to go in!
SW 13st 5lb
CW 12st 13.1lb
GW 10st 7lb
Can’t quite believe that 5.9lbs is gone in a week! Some will be water weight, I know, but I’m usually a slow loser on any ‘plan’ and the most I’ve ever lost in a week before is half that!
Thank you to all of you for your posts -they are really informative and inspiring!

My 3rd jab tomorrow, hopefully I won’t feel as bad as I did this week! Tonight is the first evening since jab 2 when I don’t have a headache. Good luck everyone!

Thanks @FatGirlDosing !

First dose dispatched- hopefully here tomorrow

Thanks for new thread @FatGirlDosing
Welcome to new joiners, good luck with your first dose.
Week 1, day 5, I’ve managed to stick to about 1200 calories each day so far, which feels good. Food suppression was very high first couple of days (like my brain was completely numb to my stomach!) then wore off a little so I started feeling hungry at lunchtime, but not ravenous and not enough to overeat. It’s not too much of a struggle to eat, I even really enjoyed tonight’s dinner (roasted squash with goats cheese and lentils). The main thing I'm trying to do is increase my protein, it’s really tricky to get near to the the 70g-100g I’m supposed to have.
I’m hoping to stay on 2.5mg for as long as possible and only up the dose if I start to plateau.
I’ve also found other benefits - I’m getting up easier in the morning and not procrastinating at all with morning prep and exercise, I’ve completely stopped doom scrolling on my phone, and I’m not getting the afternoon slump at work.

SW 79.6kg
CW 76.3kg
GW 65kg

Is anyone on Wegovy rather than Mounjaro?

Thanks for the new thread @FatGirlDosing and welcome to new starters.

End of week 2 for me today with 3rd dose due tomorrow.

Had my slimming world group today and I have lost 4lbs since last Thursday and 8lbs since starting mj on the 31/12

Hi everyone, thank you @FatGirlDosing for starting a new thread! I love seeing everyone’s losses, you are brilliant!!

Ooh thread 2!
Welcome newbies.
Week 2 day 2 for me 😊

Can I join too? Have ordered MJ but it’s not arrived yet. Really good to hear about everyone’s experiences and info. 😊

One week in! Jabbed this morning (2nd dose).

last week I was 76.2kg, fat 36.5%
today I’m 73.75kg, fat 35.7%

just about to start work. Excuse any typos, I’m parked up in staff car park and it’s freezing!! Good luck all!!

The same here. 3rd jab done. 2.5 lb less for me this week. Very happy with that. Slow and steady.

Ok so first week down and I took my second jab yesterday. It was a mad week, and a very unusual one for me as a combination of a friends night out, birthday and a work conference meant that I was exposed to breakfast buffets, several restaurant meals, mid morning pastries, catered lunches - basically temptation everywhere 😂

Despite this:

SW: 12st 7
CW: 12st 3

And honestly, it wasn’t even hard. I had yoghurt and granola and fruit from the breakfast buffet, had wine with my meal, really no bad effects, and enjoyed everything in moderation. Didn’t snack outside my main meals and didn’t calorie count, just made sensible choices. Also not much exercise outwith a 10k last Saturday because I’ve been away so I’m interested to see what a more normal week brings!

2.2lb off this week, am aiming for 1.5lb a week. Total is 3.4lb so am where I want to be. Will get 3rd jab done soon.

Have changed Fitbit recently so been unsure of how it will be estimating calories burned. Only 2 weeks figures to go on but so far it is looking like similar to the previous ones where it underestimates calories burned by around 10% for walking.

Have finally managed to do a morning slot weigh! Jab 2 done yday eve.
Total loss for week 1 is now 11lb!
SW 20st5
CW 19st8
TW 12st5lb
Totak loss 11lb
