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

@owlybooptob no need for pic as healthy bmi /maintenance

thanks @Theresacatinmykitchenwhatamigonnado sorry suffering on a higher dose

@NippyNinjaCrab your message made me cry. I know I’m hard on myself and prob as only me and dd now. I need to do this for her as well as me

@Timetochange24 great so many milestones. Well done and my gap was tiny and legs shut disappeared for ever lol

@Azuresky68 so weird you are having so strong suppression so close to goal

10 is 48clicks - 11 isn’t on chart but would have thought between 48 and 60 which is 12.5 so maybe 11 is 54 clicks but that’s a guess

Morning everyone ! Fabulous photo @Blondeshavemorefun, the NSV can be mind blowing when you see or experience differences you didn’t expect.
sorry to all those having side effects😣 I’m trying to keep up with the thread, it’s been a busy week with various things. Love this thread with so much info but also just the support to get through each stage and amazing to see people get to healthy range. Really helps to see that getting reached.
ive been frustrated with my weight in the last two weeks as I’ve just lost a pound each week despite never going over my meagre calories of 950 (TDEE recommended) and last week I was below it often as life was getting in the way with some stresses. And I know it’s still weight loss but I’ve got used to getting 2lbs off a week, rarely has it been one. Anyway trying to just crack on and enjoy the new clothes I’ve picked up recently. I’m still secretly amazed that I’m not wearing billowing tunics and wearing weather appropriate jumpers without feeling I’ll sweat and overheat😅

Fantastic NSV @Blondeshavemorefun!

I seem to have put on a lb this week - I'm a bit surprised but will keep on keeping on. I think in November I ended up losing very little weight and then had quite big whooshes in December and January. Bodies are odd things!

Had another upset stomach this weekend, not sure if it's going to become a regular occurrence, and is just my body reacting to the MJ. As a result had to cancel my plans for Sunday lunch out 😞.

Right, off to try and catch up with some more of this thread. Hope everyone is well and happy 😁.

@Blondeshavemorefun doesn't seem to make much sense though does it as could still be lying and be dangerously underweight ... weird!

I've woken up and feel awful... have the lurgy!

Afternoon, sorry for those who are feeling rotten whether it's MJ or illness. Makes it worse when trying to keep calories up and protein too.

@Azuresky68 I would take a guess at 54 clicks for 11mg as in between as Blondes as said. Are you sticking to your 800 cals? I wasn't sure whether you wanted to increase and i was going to suggest some mixed seeds with yoghurt whizzed into your morning shake. X

@Motnight there's definitely nothing more complicated than how our bodies work. I had lost 2lbs then a 3lbs which is unusual for me I'm normally 2, but the last 2 weeks I've sts. Ah well, we keep plodding on 😂

@Slimhopes I hear you about the 2lbs then a one. It's hard to get excited when it's a one if you're used to consistency. Hey you maybe get a wee 3lbs next. X

@Blondeshavemorefun tight cuddles my wee beauty from your wee side walker scuttler 😂😂🦀🦀

DH said look at your FB memories and see how far you've come with weight loss...

This was me at my heaviest, I'd met DH but was having a horrible divorce from exh with added other horrible trauma, I was drinking a lot of alcohol and junk. I was around 15st 10lbs at this point, 2019.

Well done for loss @Slimhopes- not sure how you cope on less then 1000c

sorry for gain @Motnight and sure your whoosh will come but sorry for upset tummy

that’s true @owlybootho maybe as you’ve been with them a while they trust you ?

sorry you feel bad as well

thanks for cuddles @NippyNinjaCrab. I’m a bit Emotional and not sure why - blinks eyes

but you have come so far and done so good !!!

you now look fab

you must see that from the pics ?

thi tbh you looked good before as did dalms

It's an emotional journey, and mini blondes aside, you are doing something for yourself and you alone and not doing things for others. This is your year B 😍

💖

Wow, you have come a long way @NippyNinjaCrab! Though I have to say, that's a lovely picture of you and the hound

@NippyNinjaCrab what a lovely photo. You still look great to me. It's a bit like the photo I posted, in that people said I looked good in the photo at my heaviest, but it just reminds me of a horrible time in my life, when I was also drinking too much and eating rubbish. I am so much happier now. Have we seen an up-to-date full length photo of you from the present day yet?

Awww my old girl, lost her last June she was amazing. And thank you for the compliment. I'm not a big user of FB but it has its uses for the memories xx

Yes i did post one last week or the week before I think with the pic I sent to Voy at the end of August and then an up to date one Jan 23rd with same clothes on. I can't have any alcohol now because of my meds but I think i scunnered myself for life haha. I was very hungover that walk x

@NippyNinjaCrab thanks, trying not to sabotage myself because things have slowed down. Although fell over a bar of chocolate last night 🍫🫣 maybe it’ll help boost a weight loss by having gone up with calories for a day🤷🏻‍♀️ your photo at your higher weight looks great and you did carry the weight well. I look shocking at my higher weight!! No photos forthcoming from me lol.
i hope you’ve had a decent night and feel better @Blondeshavemorefun ? The low calories are wearing but my impatience will be the undoing of me!
And for everyone else feeling side defects or lurgy, hope you have a better day x

Morning all.

I like that picture Ninja! I don't think you look particularly big in it but of course you know where you were and how far you've come!

I've weighed again this morning, after a STS on Sat I was hoping maybe the loss was just taking an extra day or two to catch up, but nope - still a big stubborn STS.

I was an angel calorie wise this weekend, although the actual nutritional quality of the food we ate yesterday wasn't great. We were out watching the Chinese New Year parade, we didn't get into town in time to eat beforehand in the place we'd planned, which would have been relatively healthy, and the parade was very late starting - so by the time it had passed us DD was in full hangry meltdown mode and sobbing for McDonalds. I had one of the wraps - but it was 'crispy' as none of the grilled options were available (none of the salads were either, although full disclosure I probably wouldn't have gone for salad either way. I'd had no breakfast as was planning on having an IF day as usual, and by the time we ate it was getting on for 2 so no chance of only eating a small portion of my wrap. Then we were out much longer and later than I'd originally intended, so dinner ended up being fishfinger sandwiches with carrot and cucumber sticks for DH and DD, I just had a couple of fishfingers with the veg sticks, no bread. Way under for the day on calories but nutritionally not the best! Good lesson for me in being a bit more prepared!

I'm so desperate to get the 2lbs off that will take me back to the lowest before I had to stop/ drop dose right down. Then I can actually feel like I'm making progress - I feel like I'm lagging way behind how everyone else is doing!!

@NippyNinjaCrab - agree with others that you still look lovely in that photo. But it must be a fantastic feeling to see how much you have achieved health-wise since then.

@whethertheweather - I have the scales in the first link. They seem good to me (prefer them when they don't tell me that I have put on weight though 🤔).

Come on @Slimhopes. We’ve been brave. Cut your bead off /use a star to cover it if makes you feel better

yes im ok ish.

feel a bit queasy and think have sone suppression but also know need to eat so had a cuppa soup

hopefully will have a micro meal tonight

Thanks for asking

@AuntieDote sorry for sts. Is today official weigh day

I love a fish ginger Sarnie and often have it. Not that high in cals

sure those 2lbs will come off

STS for me this week. But still seeing a 13..
13.13, but happy with that as had take away last week and had extra wine at the weekend and a friend made brownies so had to try them, she gave me the bloody biggest one! Lol.

Just done my 1st ever syringe on myself, done it twice for a friend as she didn't want to, I'm not a fan, but really wanted to make sure I got a full dose, so injected just over 0.7ml in, got just over 0.8 out but am sticking to 7.5 so didn't want too much extra.

Oh, am I'm still struggling with being so god dam cold! . Never wanted summer so badly in my life, I love winter and the cold normally.. but I've had enough, roll on some sunshine..

Thanks @Motnight . I'm picking them up from Argos on Wednesday. Here's hoping they don't suddenly weigh me as half a stone heavier than my old ones🙏.

Having one of those days when I still just feel huge. Maybe it's a function of getting older, but everything between belly button and knees is still just so squidgy! On the plus side, my collar bones are making an appearance for the first time in a while.....

@whethertheweather I was worried about the difference in weight between scales but it was a 1/2 pound so don't worry. I'm squishy too, how do we become taught and unsquishy 😂😂

@Motnight I'm with you on this weather, it was so windy at the beach today jeez oh it was like pushing a lorry walking back with the strength of the wind! It's to be sunny the next few days but cold. I love a brownie 😋

@Slimhopes @AuntieDote thank you for saying that about my weight, there's a video where I'm playing with the cats and flipping hell my belly, I look like someone has dressed me in the Michellan man costume. @Slimhopes it will come, we've seemed to be doing this for years haha, I am impatient too, once we are maintaining the work starts 😄

@Blondeshavemorefun 15 has really knocked the stuffing out you, are you going back down to 12.5? If you have Shotsy check how much you have built up in your body, it could be well over 15mg.

I've done 5mg over 2 x 2.5mg 3 days in between shots, I can't take a 5mg all at once. I had asked Hira at Oushk about doing this and she's said as long as the recommended days are between doses it is okay. I'm hoping to eventually get to a stage after goal plus the safety 7lbs window that I can do a 2.5mg and leave the 9 days between doses. Hira said that's permitted too I just dont want to waste money and go longer and then I can't use the pen after so many days. Hopefully the option of micro dosing will be approved by the manufacturer Lily whether it's in a tablet or a lower pen. It was raised on the Oushk FB group as a question from Hira and the responses would be taken back to Lily. I can see myself being on a low dose for a couple of years anyway. X

Knob dog is 5 today, i told him he's a lucky boy I've not smothered him before now haha. This is the 9mth old puppy, bless him. Hope everyone is having a good Monday, I'm now resuming the hoovering urgh. X

@morbidcuriosity well done for jabbing and seeing 13 and sts. All wins

cold. I’m cold. Think as we have lost our blubber of fat /insulation

I hate the cold at best of times and want sunshine

@whethertheweather yah for collarbones

@NippyNinjaCrab yes it did and yes fri I did 12.5 from new 12.5 pen

I don’t have shotsy but yes I guess it’s a high amount in my body

awww happy birthday knob dog.

Dear god I feel awful! Not MJ related, full of cold/exhausted... great fun!
