JANUARY 2025 Starters - Thread 2!!!

[FatGirlDosing]

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

2nd weight in and 4lb loss 📉

2lb away from stone mark in 2weeks suppression wasn't as strong 2md week so bit of willpower a couple days with health choices been using my fitness pal to track everything and stayed within my 1200cals so all good no treats no alcohol no takeaway even when kids and other half enjoyed chippy. Just took 3rd jag so hoping for a 2lb loss next week to hit my stone 😢 🤞 hope every1 doing well x

@unicornsaremagical be pleased with 5lbs. I’ve lost nothing in week one. 🤣

It's about mentally changing ur habits and not comfort eating the things u previously ate to supress ur emotions some ppl take adverse effects to the oils cheese etc within pizzas. Concentrate more on fruit veg yogurts protien. I have been using gusto meals as my main meal isn't new to me but the choices on meals have been different as now in mindset at lookin at the calories etc within my meal options. Pickin up some protien drinks would b good idea for days suppression may hit most. Less carbs more protien/veg/fruit atleast 2ltr water per day.

@Jins next week might be your week. For some people it takes a few weeks to set in, i’m sure you’ll see progress

Ur same as me week 3 day 1 and also had that metallic taste 😫 goodluck to a successful week 🤞

W2D2 - week 1 lulled me into a false sense of security. The nausea today is 11/10 🤣

Thank you! I can do it now 😊

Hi. For those of you “clicking” extra doses, do you buy extra needle tips like these…..?

I had my first dose on Weds and have noticed a drastic reduction in appetite already.
Placebo effect, or is it normal to feel a difference so soon.

Have took at meals on here and get a rough idea what everything in in calories etc as it will give you rough idea what meals contain lots of low calorie ideas quick and easy options but healthy

could someone explain how to do the extra dose?

Day 5 for me today, after a very rough start to my journey. Today I feel good, no side effects and lots of suppression. If everyday had been like this I'd say I love mounjaro 😂 now it's deciding if I risk the horrendous side effects for week 2 on Monday or call it a day.

Had my first jab today, about 1.5 hours ago. Feeling very nervous.

Glad you're feeling better QueenBarbs fingers crossed the sickness will settle down now 🤞

Im loving reading how well everyone is doing - I've just got back from being out all day and the MJ has arrived 🥳 now to decide whether to just do it now or wait until tomorrow as I'm out tonight. Has anyone had the sickness/diarrhoea start the same day or does it tend to be after a day or two? Don't want to be ill for later!

Hello all!

I haven't read the thread yet but will later this evening!

I gave myself my first jab of 2.5mg on Wednesday 15/1, no symptoms so far but not much suppression either! I'm sticking to 1,500 cals (there or thereabouts) and climbing the walls a little bit, looking forward to the food noise dying down!

I'm secretly doing this, no-one knows. I got my pen from Oushk as they let you pick a delivery day which works for me as I'm a shift worker and I can pick a date where I know I'll be in alone.

I'm massive and short and my weight affects everything, looking forward to changing my life.

So hello!

SW 127.5kg

I am on W2D4 and I can say this second week has been so much better re side effects. W1 was pretty hard going - I think I ticked every side effect going (and some more it seemed!) and I had my doubts but it has not at all been the same intensity this week. Food suppression is still good - although new habits of eating are starting to form which is what I have really been trying to do - so smaller portions and no snacking. And I have lost some weight so much happier overall this week. So I think if you can face it go for W2.

That was meant to be in answer to Queenbarbs!

I filled in my firm and sent images and paid superdrug last night at about 5pm. Still haven't heard back. Anyone know what the usual wait time is?

Great results!
Yes I'm loving not having an afternoon slump! I'd say I'm feeling quite tired now and that would normally have me reaching for food and instead I'm wondering what I can do to energise myself - more water, move etc
I do martial arts, walk and try and fit in a couple of home strength workouts a week.

W1D3

Slight intermittent nausea, headache mild on day 1&2. Quite a lot of suppression.

I had 1st dose Tuesday night so I’ll weight Wednesday morning. I’m going to have 2nd dose Tuesday morning and hope to be able to move to a Monday evening the following week which works better for me.

Not liking coffee and not had any chocolate at all - miracle (early days I know).

Help! think I've messed up

Just did my second dose (week 2) and as I'm very new to this I think I managed to be ultra stupid and wasted 2 doses! I feel ridiculous to admit this but I injected twice with the little cap on I think because I'm nervous. On the third go managed it but feel ridiculous now.

What to do? Does that mean I have only 1 dose now left? In which case I suppose I could split it over the next 2 weeks but that'll be minimum. Or actually I don't have any left and need to order now? Gosh how stupid of me.

@stilllovingmysleep you should have 2 doses left I think, as there’s the priming volume which equates to another dose. Did you do the clicks twice ?

@FCforMounjaro I think I probably used 3 today, 2 wasted and 1 used: can't believe I've been so utterly stupid / careless. Goes to show if someone is nervous and hurried what can happen. I think I'll have to order early ... I'll let them know.

So you should have the bonus dose left?
don’t feel silly, I thought it was quite fiddly to do.

Hi @FCforMounjaro what's the bonus dose, is that a full dose for next Friday? Or a half dose?

I think there’s normally extra volume and if you inject the hub you can extract it. But you need a needle and syringe (can get from pharmacies). I plan to try.
