Mounjuro August starters - thread 11

[Blondeshavemorefun]

My amazing auggies ladies 💖 - another thread and heading for 6mths in !!!

Be proud of us all.

We conquered our first Christmas and many of us sts or lost. Which is a first.

Those who gained it was 1-2lbs (minus the lady who ate her family and gained 18lbs) 😂😂 and the gain has come off

So to a new 2025 - some are getting near their goal and thinking about maintenance

Some still have a way to go to get to their happy weight

Some are on the highest dose of 15

Some are 5 and below

Everyone welcome

Hope work goes ok @Theresacatinmykitchenwhatamigonnado

I'm sorry @Blondeshavemorefun and @Theresacatinmykitchenwhatamigonnado . That sucks.

I'm very confused about how this weight loss works.

Weighed myself yesterday morning and I was a kg up after a week away where I ate a lot more than usual (limited choices being vegetarian at a buffet).

This morning I weighed again and then kg has gone along with another 150g.

How?

@poppym12 weight does go up and down. Depending what you have eaten and drunk plus if had a poo baby 💩

very salty food gives a small gain but will vanish again

it’s why they say to get a true weight , you weight once a week at the same time and same clothes ideally

Can’t imagine this actually work pmsl

I know that @Blondeshavemorefun but I don't understand why I've spent a week eating approximately 400 cals per day extra to my 1200 yet still lost weight (after the bloat from flying has gone).

Monday weigh and jab day for me..

2lb this week, taking me to 14.1 happy with that and I know I've been slacking on the water intake as been at home for a few days, but back to work so will be back to my minimum 2 litres a day..

I posted earlier about the water intake and it really does help with 💩. Found that out.. so I'm making it a must have from now on..

Who knows

may have a sts /gain next week

or sometimes the body needs a kick start and extra cals and readjusts

Morning all, hope everyone is well and that you’re not too shattered today @Blondeshavemorefun and @Theresacatinmykitchenwhatamigonnado

I do sympathise with the exhaustion- my DD is a terrible sleeper still at 4.5 - goes down like a dream and always has but wakes up throughout the night. We had a brief spell of thinking things were improving but right back into shouting us 4 or 5 times a night now. She just needs to know we’re still there, so it’s not like we need to do anything other than say ‘ahh go back to sleep’ (very occasionally it will take a bit more) it’s just the broken/ disturbed sleep - always takes me ages to drop off again.

@poppym12 - could be that 1600 is still a deficit for you, particularly if you were relatively active on holiday? It’s still relatively low not like you were eating 3000 a day!

Good morning and Happy Monday everyone. Looks like a busy weekend on this thread! I've caught up on everything..it was a good read.
Getting to maintenance - I posted recently about falling at the final fence, in that I have between 5 pounds (my goal) and 8 pounds (top of healthy BMI) Now finding it hard to lose weight and a bit disheartened. Unsure about calorie intake and MJ strength. I had my maintenance consultation with Hira at Oushk in December in preparation for maintenance (optimistic wasn't I!) I emailed Oushk at the weekend and got a reply on Sunday offering me another consultation this week. This is really good, because people were saying on FB pages that you had to book well in advance and no appointments for new people who want to sign up for maintenance until February. I have my appointment booked now. It only costs £5 for 15 minutes which is amazing value. It's much better to email their customer service, stating for the attention of Hira, than try and book on the Oushk website. Feeling better that I can have another consultation. Will update on the feedback. I have been doing extra clicks on my 2nd 10 mg pen to get 12.5 mg ..it has definitely upped the suppression. Got a 12.5 pen to start after my bonus dose this week. Not drinking alcohol until 8th March when I am off on my very special trip to Argentina, with a friend who started at the same time as me with MJ. Have a good week everyone and good luck 👍

Because your brain sees it as you're not starving.

Before I catch up generally can I just check my maths on the bonus dose?

7.5mg pen.

If I want 10mg, is that 0.8 on my 1ml syringe?

Is 1600 cals perhaps your maintenance cals? Then you'd have stayed the same, perhaps a kg up because of air travel / water retention then back onto your 1200 cals which is deficit?

@WorriedRelative yes, 7.5mg is 1.25mg per 0.1ml, multiply 1.25 by 8 and that's a 10mg dose.

@morbidcuriosity well done on 2lb loss

@AuntieDote I’ve just had a 3hr nap so ok

but will now prob make tonight’s sleep crap again but couldn’t keep eyes open so had to

sorry your dd is a bad sleeper. That would break me. Luckily mini blondes had always slept well - don’t hate me

@Azuresky68 - gives a big slap

you haven’t fallen at the final fence - the last few lbs are always harder

most of us aren’t even there yet so again you have done well to get to your goal

think how far you come and well done you have by losing all that weight

how much has friend lost and was she similar size to you ?

@WorriedRelative yes as it’s 1/3 of dose and a dose is .6 so you are adding .2 so .8 in all

@20bloodypounds has already given answer. Sorry hadn’t seen that

tho her calculations confuse me but we get the same answer

OMG. O.8ml of 7.5mg pen is 10mg?? I had about 15mg then 😂🤦‍♀️

Thank you Blondes and 20BloodyPounds!

I may not get the full ten which is fine but I don't want to go over!

Good thinking @20bloodypounds. That's probably it. Thank you.

Managed to get enough to take 10mg so let's see how this goes!

It is the first time I have stepped up without doing an intermediate dose, let's hope I don't regret it!

They are amazing creatures, and need our help. Rita stayed with us winter 2023 then we released her and in the spring she brought us her babies!!! I was like a proud granny. This was the first winter we haven't had one in the spare bedroom as unfortunately the rescue we supported closed due to ill health. We had some right characters - the hissing one was scary LOL

@Blondeshavemorefun Thanks for the encouragement. You are right of course and it helps to be told it by someone whobunderstands. What a rollercoaster of a journey! My friend has lost 2 stone. She's about 4 inches taller than me. More to lose than me and she thinks she might stay at a higher weight than near her BMI. But she is delighted with her loss so far and lighter than she has been in years. She has stayed on 5 mg all the way through so far.

@PoemsForTea I love that you rescued, it's often frustrating and thankless but the rewards with the animals are priceless. I supported Dalmatian rescue for a while.

I've still not jabbed yet, i feel okay food noise wise and normal hunger levels. I'll see how I feel the next few days, and jab Friday when it says my levels are approx 1.5mg.

I downloaded the Shotsy app over the weekend and I think it's really helping me psychologically, as normally day 6 & 7 I start getting hungry. I see I am due to jab on weds but have over 8mg 'in me' and haven't felt hungry lol. Human brains are weird & also quite brilliant eh!!

@Azuresky68 it's so normal for the loss to slow towards the end. Mine has as well. Just keep plodding on!

Oh dear what have you taken

.6 of any dose is a full dose

.2 is a third of a full dose

.3 half of a full dose
