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

Hello everyone. Do you mind if I join in? I've been reading the thread and you seem like a supportive bunch. @owlyboo that's amazing!

I started on 3rd August at 15 stone 6, and last Saturday I was 12 stone 1, so happy so far. Revelling in "only" being overweight not obese, but my target is to be categorised as normal too😆which for my height seems to be about 10 stone 5, so still a way to go.

I'm two weeks in to 12.5mg and so far so good. I inject on a Saturday, and find that so long as I don't eat anything on a Sunday until about 2pm, I have no side effects. Weeks where I forget myself and have breakfast result in me feeling truly horrid for a couple of days - no d&v just really queasy and dizzy.

My busy time for work ends 31st January, so my next plan is to get moving to see if that helps, as I've done absolutely nothing so far. To stop myself wimping out, I've pre-paid for 6 weeks of group strength training for women over 30. I'm 56, so it may still be full of lean young things, but I'm hopeful they'll be some like me otherwise it's all too intimidating. It's outdoors, so pray for warmer weather by 10th February!

Thanks @whethertheweather and welcome! Well done on your loss so far and signing up for the gym! I used to go to the gym a lot pre covid and went to some small strength classes that tending to be all the same women there. I struck up a friendship with a lady who was older than me. And we still keep in touch now and meet up. (I'm now mid 30s and she's mid 50s) so don't worry about ages!

Welcome @whethertheweather ! Excellent losses since August and a brave exercise sign up 😀

And congrats to @owlyboo for being all normal, healthy and slender! That must feel fantastic!

@weaselyeyes I'm definitely not normal 🤪

Thanks you! It feels great... surreal but great... 7ish more pounds to my new goal but only if I comes off without doing anything differently I won't be changing anything and killing myself to lose them. If they come off great if they don't they don't.

OMG that is amazing well done!

Well done @owlyboo. Amazing achievement 🎉

Sorry just catching up @BBlondeshavemorefun OMG velcro fanny flaps 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That is what I need, not sure about adding that feature though, it might chafe......

DH will be so pissed off if I roll in late, pissed, and then wake him up to help me get out of my jumpsuit! Not being able to go to the loo might be a good incentive not to drink too much though 🤔

Sorry to hear things are rough work wise. Job hunting is awful. Stick with the freelance in it might open some doors (I got a permanent role by doing locum work) and if it doesn't it keeps your skills current.

Have you tried applying for roles slightly above your comfort level rather than below? If a recruiter is struggling to fill a role they often consider a candidate they like who needs a bit of upskilling. It sends a much more positive message than applying for more junior roles.

You have my sympathy though, the market is weird, I am struggling to recruit at the moment and we're so short staffed it is exhausting.

Thanks lovely. I'm doing that too. No avenue I government tried 🥺 Just got to keep going until it gets better. 🤞🏻

Whoop @owlyboo 🌟 well done 66lbs

@whethertheweather welcome. All welcome - we are the lovely auggies - slutty and rude (or that might just be me) 😂

note VFF 😂 eh @WorriedRelative

many of us are 50 + but also have a couple of youngsters

sounds like my boot camp. Which is outside

well done on over 3s loss

you jab sat but then don’t eat till Sunday ? Or feel rough

Bloody hell does under 50 make me a youngster? This day just gets better and better!

Yep

Thanks for all the kind words ☺️

@owlyboo congratulations!! Amazing achievement 👏

Thanks @4pink1blue ☺️☺️☺️

@owlyboo well done 🎉!

@owlyboo Yesssss! Well done bab, I feel like a proud mum!!

@Blondeshavemorefun sorry you have been feeling rubbish.

This made me larf 😆 (53 and counting)

Welcome @whethertheweather 😀

Thanks @Motnight

And thank you @PoemsForTea 😊 so kind. Are you midlands? 'Bab' all my family and me originally are midlands! But I've been in Devon since a little girl.

I can't wait to celebrate every single one of us hitting that milestone!

Thank you @Motnight. Very unlike me. Feel better today. Still very thirst though. Not eaten much but hopefully Tom I will eat

another 4mths or so for me to reach it. If I manage it. Still can’t imagine if I do that I have lost 6st

You'll do it @Blondeshavemorefun you've already lost so much the next few will come and you'll be there before you know it. Hope you feel better and manage to eat more tomorrow.

I can't wait to celebrate every single one of us hitting that milestone!

I wonder if a meet up further down the line is possible. Just stick a pin in the map and hope people could get there.

That's a fabulous idea! I recently had a meetup wirh school friends celebrating 50 years since we left school. We picked York as a fairly central place as some people were in Scotland and some were in the south.
