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

Howling at you lot I've missed you 😂😂😂
You're all mega hard-core at the moment, I've still not been swimming!

Slightly better thanks my little crustian but def knocked me and you know what a tough nut I usually am !!

happy walking tomorrow with the brats and knob head 😂

@weaselyeyeswow for size 12. Well done - sure not as bad as you think

@WorriedRelativeget it right

velcrose Fanny flaps 😂

@weaselyeyes I too have the smuggled a draught excluder look 😂😂 I'm hoping by holiday time it's shrunk lol, the beach look with a puffy fanny isn't one i want 😅

@Blondeshavemorefun knob dog was not too bad today, apart from when the UPS man came i had to wrestle him like an alligator to the kitchen 😂. I met my friend and her 3 brats, all 6 get on fab together. So not much drama for a change in Nippy world x

Hilarious @weaselyeyes - and a fantastic NSV!

Oh sorry @whethertheweather - I didn’t mean to terrify you and I’m sure your course will not be like this. To be fair this is quite a wanky and overpriced gym, full of the fit young things in their instagrammable named gym gear. I’m only there because they had that amazing offer on for December and then kept me on the hook with a reduced rate for Jan and Feb, but safe to say I don’t quite fit in with my Tesco leggings - not that anyone has been anything but lovely.

All the classs are called things like ‘Force’ and ‘Tornado extreme’ so it’s not like I wasn’t warned really. It was kind of like circuits and I absolutely could go at my own pace really - and for half of it we were actually lifting weights which I enjoyed and appreciated being helped with technique. It’s just that the other half was them bellowing ‘right now do 25 mountain climbers and 16 planks to press ups on each arm followed by a lateral twist with dumb bell’ and I’m kind of going ‘hang on what’s that one again, how do I do that, I don’t know how to do a press up, I can’t see because my glasses are in the locker’ type thing! I’m the same with a lot of the yoga/ Pilates to be fair - ‘we’re just going to move from downward dog through chattaranga taking it into baby cobra and then forward fold find your warrior on the left side’ - everyone else seems to do all this in one smooth movement whereas I’m squinting at what the teacher is doing, losing my balance and ending up facing the opposite direction to the rest of the class.

Absolutely @20bloodypounds - that’s the thing it’s either getting beasted by a 20 year old with a 12 pack and arms the size of cow’s haunches, or accompanying my mother in law to her ‘keep fit‘ which is all done seated apparently. I actually won a month of classes in the school raffle back in Sept, it’s a lady who has like a little studio set up in a space she rents in the church hall, and she was so amazing and supportive over text whilst she was explaining the set up to me, stressing how great she was with beginners or people who hadn’t done any exercise for a long time, how that’s her forte, and how everything could be adapted to meet me where I was and help me progress. Then I got into my first class and it was none of those things, I actually did throw up that time! I never actually went back as that was the start of D&V every other day as well as various other health things that cropped up and by the time I was on my feet again my free month was up!

Im waiting for the weather to pick up a bit but I do fancy trying couch to 5k again - year before last I almost finished it, then I got lazy again! I also like to do little 10 minute workout videos on YouTube - Lucy Wyndham Reed is great, I sometimes do a couple back to back or even just one in between work calls.

Yesterday's walk, and slow plod and today was worse as gassing away with friend. Tomorrow's needs to be boot camp stomping. I was going to skip WWJ but I suppose I better do it 🙄

looks a lovely walk @NippyNinjaCrab

and yes you had better WWJ tomorrow or else !

How beautiful @NippyNinjaCrab ! Worth slowing down to appreciate

Been busy most of today and just sat down. Couldn't resist having a look at the posts ...many many hilarious comments today!! 🤣 thanks for making me giggle 😃

Morning, WWJ and I've stayed the same which I'm pleased about as I've not eaten as well as I could've and low exercise. Also poo babies incoming 😂

Yah. Well done @NippyNinjaCrab sts is always good

maybe if you birthed you would have lost an oz - obv nothing will ever beat my 7lb poo baby

or I hope it doesn’t for your botties 😂😂

WWJ

and 3lbs off 😀

I often lose 2, 3rd May have been as didn’t eat much as poorly

i did not like feeling like that on 15 🥲

totally wiped me out

shudders

i def think body needs to get used to 12.5 so will consider 15 at end of this pen but means I have to decide in 2/3w

good luck all Fri WWJ x

Hope its quads...

@blondes 🥳🥳

Whoop @Blondeshavemorefun that's fab loss 🥰

Naw my arse will be in tatters thank you @PoemsForTea 😂

Weigh day for me too. 2lbs off. Only 1.5lbs to my next mini target of 80lbs lost :) I wanted to do it by my birthday in 2 weeks time so fingers crossed!

SW 19st
CW 13st 5.5lbs.

Nsv too this week. My size 16 jeans are too big so I'm shopping for size 14 this afternoon 😳
Also starting 10mg today which I'm a bit scared of! Hoping for an easy transition.

Well done to everyone weighing today xx

That's been my previous experience of any fitness classes @AuntieDote. Utter humiliation from the looks given by everyone else as they keep up in seamless coordination whilst I'm a sweaty mess spinning round the wrong way not knowing left from right. Not sure what's the worst looks to receive - withering or pitying - but I get them all and inevitably never go back. At least with an outside camp I don't have to look at myself in the mirrors.

Well done @4pink1blueloss and NSV

why can’t I get into 16 ffs

must be my child bearing hips bum and tum

my 18’s are baggy and falling down literally

a neighbour god bless them stopped me after school today

asked gently if I was ok - they know I’ve split with dh and why

i said yes - why

weve noticed you’ve lost a lot of weight and concerned

I said bless you. It’s a deliberate weight loss and they sighed relief

I said I needed to lose weight for my hips and dd and I was porky

they asked how

I said started sw but wasn’t really coming off so counting cals

but yes I do eat. 3 meals a day 😂

its taken 10mths to lose 4s

Well done @4pink1blue,

That was lovely of them to be concerned blondes. Are you trying on different 16's or the same pair? Xx

Excellent @weaseleyes and 😂😂😂 at apron of doom and shoplifting a draught excluder.

Wow @20bloodypounds rude PT!

Look on the bright side @AuntieDote. You survived!😂

Glad you're staying @owlyboo

STS today which is okay. I'm definitely shrinking. No constipation and after poop last night I was hungry and hungry this morning and really enjoyed my shake - threw everything in it. Jabbed 10 again.

Pound off for me this week, which is good. I feel my progress to goal will be slow but hopefully relentless! Congrats to @Blondeshavemorefun for the whopper 3lb off - some consolation for having felt rotten. Congrats to @4pink1blue too, and for @FlappingMadly and @NippyNinjaCrab for staying the same. At this point, I feel staying the same is almost as good as a loss, as it's bound to get harder.

And I recognise your experience of exercise classes @whethertheweather! I stick to youtube for classes like that because I just can't face it. You do get better eventually, but I can't last that long in public!

Same pair @NippyNinjaCrab as mine from many years ago

def don’t fit in them - not even up my thighs and waist. I don’t get it 🥲

yes sweet of them - not sure if they thought I was pining or poorly

the boot camp I did the other week was fun. But outside and not doing it in the rain so didn’t go today but they are nice. . Sorry yours haven’t been @AuntieDote @whethertheweather

well done @FlappingMadly for sts

@weaselyeyes yah for lb loss but yes 3lbs and feeling crap for 3 days isn’t worth it

Yay for the sts and pound off @FlappingMadly and @weaselyeyes xx

I would get rid of those jeans lovely, your body will have changed shape and those jeans don't deserve your new silhouette. What make are they?

I have these jeans and they do have a fab stretch, they fit lovely and have different colours. Please go and treat yourself to new jeans or we are all coming to yours to bonfire those 16's 😂😂😂

Fab losses @4pink1blue @Blondeshavemorefun @weaselyeyes - and for those who sts - at least its not the other way ( that's a win in my book!) :)
(and for anyone else I have missed!)

1.5 off this week which puts me at 10 st 12.5 - into the 10s at last!

My first goal is 10st (from 13 st 10 at Jan 24, and Mounjaro SW was 12:10) and then I'll review - ideally would go for 9 st 7, but as I'm a slow loser i may just stick at 10.

Still on 7.5 but its working well for me , so will stay here another month I reckon

That's brilliant in the 10's I'm coveting that number 😍 @wohmum
I'm a slow loser too, started Jan and lost half a stone by August and 2.5 on MJ. I'm happy being a wee tortoise because I'm hoping my skin will eventually go from wrinkly to a bit less wrinkly 😂 xx
