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

I passed the mirror yesterday and jumped because I thought someone was in my room with me. I can still recall the ‘who is it’ going through my mind like a bolt of lightening I got such a shock and of course I then realised it was me - now though I can see what other people see and I think it will stay that way.

Way back in Mid December my personal trainer said let’s set a goal for you and put it up on the board with everyone else’s goals - none were weight related. Anyway we chose the 1st of Feb for me to be at 95.0 and today I weighed in at 94.8 a week earlier than planned.

My next goal is 92.8 by the 1st of March. I know it’s only 2kgs but I’ve never had the big weight losses others seem to have and it’s generally 400gms per week. We’ve stretched that a little bit though for March because I’m over the surgery I had 5 weeks ago and I’m walking and swimming everyday on top of my PT session. Not that I can swim effectively but I like the stretching aspect of it.

I hope everyone is happy and enjoying the journey we’re on.

Great measurements @Azuresky68

@NippyNinjaCrab hope DH got home okay. Oh sorry you're not liking the pictures. I'm sure your stomach looks okay!

@poppym12 hope things get moving soon! 💩

@Blondeshavemorefun doesn't look the most fun lunch! 🤢

@AuntieDote im sure it'll be gone by weigh day. Sorry you're also feeling down about your new shape. I hope your mind catches up with your reflection soon, I'm sure you're looking fab!

Well done for hitting your goal @Weepixie

Well done @Weepixie

Id love to work with a PT but just can’t afford it right now, back when I was single and no kids I did for a long while and it was brilliant.

((hugs)) @NippyNinjaCrab some places are hard to shift. I still have a huge tummy and hips

I’m sure you do look diff tho - post a pic

we don’t always see what others do as @AuntieDotesaid

i know I ’m bad for this

i don’t think I look a huge lot different - I may be brave and post Tom if I lose

but least you are in a 14. I still can’t get into a 16 in trousers

@weaseleyes @weaselyeyes you are losing a lb a week though. That’s average /good

it was rank @owlyboo and I binned it after 1/2 a cracker

Doh, I don't have notifications on! Thank you for the congratulatory messages 😁 I reached a 'healthy BMI' this week. Gone from 33.6 to 24.5. I'm going to start on strengthening classes to try and sort my back out! I'm not sure what my provider (eMed) do for maintenance so I emailed them to find out. My 'goal' is 10 stone and currently I'm 10st 7lbs. I just want to keep it off long term so I'm getting nervous as definitely feel I can't do it without the medication now 😬

Okay, here are the pics with same outfit 6 months apart. Excuse the rooms we are still in a guddle after new heating and insulation and painting. DH says he can see a big difference, I can see a difference just not much tbh 😔☹️ tummy is ugly and it's like I'll never get rid of it and the wedges at the sides! Don't know why i black out my face when the mutts are floating about 😆

There's a HUGE difference! You look fab and very slim! You should be very proud!!

@NippyNinjaCrab also love you match the dogs!!!

Ooh, big difference! You're obviously just someone where the tummy is the last to go, but it's reduced massively along with the rest of you!

Just doing my weekly trawl through the thread to try and catch up and a) I can't believe it's been nearly 6 months but b) there's so much progress here that I can't keep up with it all. It's lovely to be able to dip in and see how far we've come, even though I don't often post.

I've been going up in mini steps using extra clicks from the bonus dose, so I'm on 9 this week and suppression has gone through the roof. I'm quite stressed this week and where my normal approach to that would be to chomp through everything in sight (hungry caterpillar style), but it's having the opposite effect. I'm having to force food in. I think I could happily go a day on just coffee and water and I'm really fed up with that feeling now. I can't wait to get close to goal and start enjoying food again (in a new, healthy, balanced way, obvs).

Does anyone have any good foods for times when your brain now says no?

It's working though. 17.2 kg/2 stone 10lb down, 7.8 kg/1 stone 3lb to go. Hoping that I can do it by the easter holidays. I'm going to a wedding end of April and want to treat myself to a new frock 👗

That's a huge difference @NippyNinjaCrab !

@NippyNinjaCrab you look amazing. I'm envious of the difference visually - especially with your tiny doses!

Thank you, you've made me feel a bit better, what if the Easter egg look stays ffs, i think i definitely need another stone off for sure, 11st won't make a dent in my dumpy middle. Xx

My little self doubting Crustian. You can so obviously see the Diff. From the muffin top vanishing to a slimmer front view

lovely to see the pups as well

Hey blondes , I'm here august starter ( name changed from fox lover )

Evening everyone. Just catching up on all of today's posts.
Can anyone help please. I think my question first thing this morning about extracting bonus dose and topping up 2.5 from a 12.5 pen got lost in all the other posts. To extract 2.5 from a 12.5 pen would it be just over .1 mls in a syringe ? Or how about clicks..
Also I posted 2 photos of syringes. Not sure if they are both the same? Hopefully I will work it out but any help much appreciated. Many thanks

@NippyNinjaCrab you can definitely see a difference! Well done and not far to go now 👏 👍

@Azuresky68 sorry I have no idea about the clicks etc. so can't help! Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along soon!!

@NippyNinjaCrab there is a huge difference, you look like a different person!

Wow!! Huge difference. You look amazing!

@Azuresky68 So you've taken 10mg and want to top up by another 2.5mg? And the 2.5mg is from a 12.5 mg pen?

If that's right then it is 0.12ml (difficult to measure and inject acurately with a syringe) or twelve clicks of the pen.

Waves to foxy aka @mybelovedghostandme good to have you back

sorry yes missed that @Azuresky68. I will be doing the same and did the same last week but I syringe it out from a 10 the bonus so as it’s easier

but for a 12.5 aa will prob do that next week to make 15 you want 2.5 from it meaning you need to syringe .12 so yes just over 1 or 12 clicks

Oh soz didn’t reliese @20bloodypounds had already replied - I sent before read the end of fhread

but

we both have the same answer so that’s good 😂

gonna be another sleepless night ffs.

wind is howling. Rain pouring and I’m sodding awake

mini blondes god bless her soul is sparko. Nothing wakes her. Sleeps through thunder and fireworks

hoping for a lb loss Tom well later today

so that will be 4st. Bit nervous I won’t make it as not a lot of suppesssion this week. But then I usually dont

get the odd meal/ /stuffed /can’t finish but nothing like lots of you get

Yep wide awake too despite being shattered all day - no idea what I can do about it 🥺

Bless me father for I have had

A SLICE OF CORN BEEF PIE!!!!!!

and no, I’m not sorry. In fact I’m going to have another slice today but I’ll be polite and not tell you what to do with your 3 Hail Mary’s.

It was delicious and something one of my grandchildren asked for after school yesterday. And I’m glad he did ask. In fact I could have dived head first into the mixture when I was making it.

I had it with vegetables and instant gravy.

Heaven on a plate.
