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

Checking in - I've actually been off it for a month now, but have a 2.5 and 5 pen in the fridge, and havering whether to go back for one final push into another stone.

Did our Betty come back? 🤔

We all do a wee lurk now and again Mrs H
X

@lookathatbookcase ooo how have you felt in the last month?

Actually meant 11, @Blondeshavemorefun 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s been a long week!!

I’m here nippy 😊

I’ll try and join in a bit more. Got mixed up in my original post I’ve not lost 23lb I’ve lost 28. DH says this is why I’m not allowed to do anything with numbers.

But then he’s not allowed to use power tools 😁

So we have this odd mix of DIY where he measures up, points and says ‘drill there’. Jack Sprat and all that…

@BettyandtheVets that sounds like dream work team work, aw there's no pressure to post as long as you want to share just pop in.

@SilverSprings510 go you with the running 🏃‍♀️ I was saying to my friend this week running looks so liberating and just free! I'd love to run but can't cos of my fake leg xx

I am also the driller . Oh wait - I'm the everything 😆😆

Oh wow. How did you find it

starving or ok ?

@NippyNinjaCrab Alright actually! My appetite is definitely back but the big pattern change from the past 6 months has been having a clearer sense of what a decent portion / meal size is, and stopping the mindless snacking when I'm bored or overeating when I feel extra-sad, and that feels pretty embedded now.

The whole horror story I've seen going round of 'You stop MJ and then you're hungrier than you've EVER BEEN and EAT A BABY and PUT ON FIVE STONE' - that's not true, I just feel like I did before but I'm 3 stone lighter, down 2-3 dress sizes, and generally feeling loads better about myself.

So let's see! I wouldn't feel too bad (except for my wallet lol) if I end up going back on it. I do definitely feel the truth of what we've been talking about here for ages, that so much of MJ is about making lifestyle changes rather than seeing it as a holiday from reality.

Why did you come off it @lookathatbookcase if still a stone to lose

@SilverSprings510 almost the weekend

@BettyandtheVetstbats 2s. Well done

and you are a woman who can

and yes pop in and out

no one has to post every day. Tho I usually do

@Blondeshavemorefun as I said to our crab friend, doing alright I think! normal hungry but not 'eat seven pizzas in one go' starving. I think so much of my eating has been emotional, but I do appreciate that for some folks, MJ may be a long-term medication and that's completely ok. But I may go back on it at the end of the month, so let's see! I think my ideal would be some form of MJ microdosing just to dampen the appetite a little - maybe that'll come later down the line when they make pens that last longer.

@Blondeshavemorefun in answer to why I came off it - so I had my big work trip abroad last month, and took a pen with the bonus dose that I took a week before I came home. I'd expected to take the first dose of the next pen (still 3.75mg lol) the day after I got back but I was jetlagged and feeling terrible so thought, well, I'll wait another week. Except then it as Christmas and I didn't want to inject on Christmas Eve and potentially felt rough, so I put it back another week - and then honestly I was quite curious about what it would feel like and whether I would have the EAT A BABY hunger, or...not? And it's felt ok, so I just kept off it,

You have given us auggies Hope @lookathatbookcase

Ooohhh, new thread waves to everyone.

Still on holiday. Still enjoying the lovely warm sunshine. Not done too well food wise today. I feel like I've eaten just for the sake of it because it was there, not because I was hungry. Disappointed with myself for that.

Really must get some new holiday clothes before my next trip in March as I'm starting to look like a bag lady.

@poppym12 happy holiday, did you manage to get some clothes? Enjoy the food and relax x

@lookathatbookcase eat the baby 😂😂😂

I'm now away to listen to the Archers, farewell August slinkies

Ps, hello @20bloodypounds 👋

Thanks for the new thread @Blondeshavemorefun I’ll try to do more posting and less lurking also😃 it’s great being with people at the 6 month mark too. I’ve started my second 10mg pen today but just struggling a bit now as I’m bored with having just 950 calories a day - sometimes it’s fine but a bit if a grind just now. I see these people on social media saying they can barely eat anything but I’ve never been like that ! Always been able to eat my calories and mostly felt satisfied with it just fed up the last couple of days. I want to fast forward to my goal weight but still have over 2 stones to lose 😖

I did some wardrobe rummaging before I came away @NippyNinjaCrab but didn't buy anything. I've bought 2 jumpers whilst here - bizarre that I've been sweating my wotsits off but buying jumpers in the sales! I did try some shorts on but I'm away again in 6 or 7 weeks so thought it might be a bit of a waste. I don't think I'll get to a properly slim size tbh as my body has really changed shape post menopause but I might be down another size by March (I can but hope!!).

Me neither @Slimhopes

I'm hungry. Eat 3meals usually

Odd suppression for odd meal

Never all day

Don't be hard on self

You are on holiday

What dose are you on @Blondeshavemorefun , sorry you’ll have said previously but I’ve forgotten.
i do get hungry but MJ helps me just to accept that (usually)

12.5. 3rd dose will be Fri

I’m hardcore obviously 😂

@owlyboo is on 15

i did an extra month on 10 as seemed to be working well but around the 7/8th week of it started getting hungry - snacking - etx

I’m the same, I ‘out ate’ ozempic😭😅 MJ has been much better but even on 10 mg I could eat more. Ive tried to do a few months on each dose but kind of wish now I’d just started 12.5 today. Amazing the people who’ve done the journey on the lowest doses !

@lookathatbookcase that's a great response to no MJ well done and thanks for sharing!

@poppym12 enjoy your holiday! Normal life resumes after!

@Slimhopes yep as @Blondeshavemorefun said I did my first 15 yesterday and so far so good. I've gone up each month (I'm 'lucky' that I'm only 4 pounds from healthy weight now so didn't have to worry to much about moving up to quickly and it's suited what I've felt and needed) So far so good on 15 actually felt less nauseous than at 12.5 but obviously only been a day! Also I think different meds work for different people MJ has worked great for me but when I did saxenda a few years ago didn't do anything!

Checking in with you lovely August losers!
I’ll try and contribute more than 1 post per thread :)
i’m one of those that put on over Xmas but now back to my Xmas eve weight (as of last Friday) so only 1.5 lb to go to be in the 10s!! Not been there for years…..
