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

Hi. I actually found the TT much less invasive and painful than my 2 c-sections. And did you know that TTs are actually much less risky than a C-section? It's honestly the best money I have ever spent.

Ooh thank you. I will have a good read of that. A friend of mine went cold turkey at the start of December and hasn't had a return of her cravings at all and has actually lost 2lbs more.

Yes same @Arraminta also had to get rid of most of my wardrobe. I've been on vinted selling loads and using the funds to fill my wardrobe with new clothes that fit!

That's fab about your TT working well and providing the results! Mine isn't exactly flat but not not to bad. Although I've lost nearly 5 stone luckily I put weight on evenly so it's come off the same way. I also have age on my side (ish!) at 36 so hoping the loose skin I have might bounce back if I maintain for a few years.

I think I'll stop once I get to 10 stone 2 (like you are now) but I won't push hard to get to that weight. If it doesn't come off doing what I'm already doing I don't want to get to a weight I will struggle to maintain if that makes sense. I already easily fit any 12 I try which I'm happy with but being down to 22.9 on the bmi would be great. (However I haven't been that low in weight since I was a teenager and a young teenager so I won't push it if it's too difficult. But also when I say 'stop' I don't mean MJ I'm planning on getting to there then coming back down the doses and see what happens/what the pharmacist suggest.

That's god to know @Arraminta about your friend! I do think some of the 'research' might be bollocks as they also say you only lose 20 odd percent of your body weight and I'm already at 31% so everyone isn't the same... hard to know what to do!

@Arraminta Can I be nosey and ask where you had the TT done? was it in the UK? I shall be looking into this, the mons pubic is gonna get me down i think, i was very fat and the fat is not shifting from there, so surgery is an option im happy to look at, but no idea where to start!!

Yes it was in the UK. I wouldn't have contemplated going abroad to have it done. My surgeon was amazing and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

@Arraminta Do you mind if I private message you a question? probably shouldn't fill up this thread with questions about it really?

I think it's going to be very specific to each person. We are all so very different. I haven't suffered a single bad side effects so far, and yet know women younger and healthier than me who have really struggled.

Yes of course x

@Arraminta yes definitely should be a case by case basis rather than looking at the whole!

Wow! Nearly 5 stone is incredible! I think I will probably titrate back down the doses too.

@Arraminta just seems sensible doesn't it if that's what they're suggesting and we've spent this long on it. Ween it out or system.

Im happy for any info on here

we woffle about my lack of sex 😂 - dogs - dating - as well as weight stuff

least tt is weight related

Still awake again then @Blondeshavemorefun , thats not good!!
Ive just come to the realisation i will want some sort of surgery.. the mons pubic thing.. no excersise will shift the fat there and i see if i lose my intended weight then its gonna get me down.. but im all up for surgery! doesn't fase me..
so gonna look into it i think..

it fascinates me how diff we all are

I’ve had the odd nausea/can’t eat /bad suppression day and when did 15 it wasn’t good but again think went up too fast and syringed too much

and really tired recently - but that could also be work and just winterness lol

had a bug when started 10. I did think oh no finally got symptoms but in the end I Think I had norivirus tbh as was so 🤮💩 for a week +

grapes didn’t agree with me tho I did have some the other day and fine now

but otherwise no issues I can think of

esp compared to some on here and other threads and our very own delicate crustian 😂

and others who are wiped out on under 5

Sadly yes. Driving me nuts - I’m tired but can’t sleep

I weighed in yesterday and I'm still at 12 stones 4lbs.

Voy wanted another progress photo so I've done that, noticeable difference with 3 stones and 4lbs off!

My new 10mg pen turned up too. I'm so worried about life after mj, I don't want the food noise back, that really would be soul destroying!!

Also, if I had the money, I would definitely have surgery to sculpt my body, chin, boobs, bingo wings, tummy, fupa, thighs, the whole lot!!

This would be me putting out the bins!!

-3lb today that's me finally under 90kg and a bmi gone from 38 to 31. 10mg seems to suit me well, it's a good balance between 3 days of decent (for me) suppression then a few days being mindful and sensible.
So pleased I'm through this plateau.

I went for breast screening yesterday and before I would have got into a right state of anxiety over it, now there is 50lb less of me I was almost confident getting the ya-ya's out, such a difference!
Have a great day friends 😊

@Princessandthepie glad MJ dose is suiting you well 🤞 for a loss soon

@PoemsForTea well done on the loss! And fabulous on the new confidence!

@Blondeshavemorefun hope you got sleep in the end!

@morbidcuriosity I think you have to do you! Whatever makes you happy.

Fab @PoemsForTea. Well done.

i think that’s a happy medium. Want some suppression but equally want to eat

im def hungry today on day 7

eaten breakie before taking dd to school. Usually have something once dropped her off

@Princessandthepie well done for sts and sure look very diff 3st off

was still awake 330am and now shattered of course

Morning all - been a hectic 2 days so I’ve missed about 6 pages of the thread, will take me a bit to catch up! We’ve been putting on some events at work so long days and driving here there and everywhere. Plus in between trying to get the house straight as we have some viewings booked in tomorrow and Saturday eek!

I seem to have got away with upping to 3.75 last week thank goodness. I’ve left it an extra day on the week and am going to jab the same again this evening.

Weighed today and finally lost that stubborn 2lbs, so am now officially back to my lowest where I was before taking a break due to the extreme side effects. I imagine it will be a slower journey from here than it would have been had I been able to stay on 7.5 or go up from there, but I do want another stone off at least (I think I need about 1 stone and 4lbs to get to a healthy weight according to BMI, and to give me some wiggle room probably needs to be more like 1 stone and at least 7lbs if not a little over - however that feels a bit daunting from where I’m standing at the moment with the risk of getting so ill again if I up doses, whereas telling myself just 1 more stone seems manageable!)

Morning, it's lovely here today, frosty and sunny 🌞
I've had a very dodgy tummy this morning, yuck no idea why and I can't think of anything I've eaten that would annoy my intestines. Feel okay now, I've had a wee banana and I feel okay that it's not a bug.

@AuntieDote yes!!! Those pesky 2lbs are gone! Bet you felt elated haha thank feck, so annoying isn't it.

@PoemsForTea yay for the 3! That sounds like a really good balance.

@Princessandthepie that will be us all if we have a meet up haha. I would be the face planter 😂 love that film.

@Blondeshavemorefun sleep deprivation is the pits, I don't know what to suggest to help, I'll send you some of my pills 😂

DH is home tonight yay. 🥰🥰

I've ordered some m&s jeans in a size 12. If they are snug I know they will be okay soon. The m&s jeans i got in the 14 look stupid on, I've not had them that long. I've still got 16's I'm using for dog walking, they are lift and shape ones from Next and the waist bands have huge thick elastic so they are holding up on the belly for now hah. I'm slowly getting rid of the baggy leggings too, I've bought a 2 pack of medium ones. I've ordered new 14 knickers too, mainly because the puppy raids the washing basket and has a penchant for my good underwear! Wee knob!

I know that tailored clothes without stretch wouldn't fit me in a smaller size because of my tummy, DH wants to treat me to some nice items but I'm not wasting money until I know im happy with the final weight and this is my body now.

I really need a makeover tbh. Not for everyday as I live in walking stuff or slouchy stuff but I'd love to be able to throw on a stylish outfit, I don't have that flair haha.

It's lovely, sunny and frosty here today too!

Yay for new jeans and a size 12 @NippyNinjaCrab

I've ordered some leopard jeans in a 14 from sainsbury's because they were reduced to £6 in the sale! Every time I order a 14 I'm like 'naah that won't fit', but quite a few bits have so fingers crossed. Also ordered a couple of bits from New Look, smarter trousers and a few tops as I don't really have anything like that in my new size - don't often need smart and generally live in leggings, but this week I have for these meetings we've been doing. I tried every smarter option/ decent pair of trousers I have on and they were all far too big - not really even 'get away with it' too big.

I'm not sure why I'm surprised every time this happens! Some part of my brain still doesn't quite believe it. I thought I'd cleared out the 'too big' things from my wardrobe, but really it's pretty much everything now - just psyching myself up for another listing on Vinted session this evening - I find it so depressing though, nobody wants to pay more than like £2 for anything, yet when I buy things on there (and they're frequently not as nice or in as good condition as the stuff I'm selling) everyone wants £10 for some primark shit and won't accept offers. Urgh, maybe I'll just take it all to the charity shop instead!

I know what you mean about the makeover, I got a colour/ shape analysis for my birthday a couple of years ago. I did think it might spur me into being more stylish and put together. I do tend to gravitate towards better colours for me now, but I'm still just as clueless as ever. This woman also has a facebook group (It's 'Style Me Happy' if anyone wants to look) and it's wonderful - so supportive and people are so nice on there. But I seem to be quite good at picking the odd individual item that really works for me, but still clueless at how to wear it, what to put with it, and never ever seem to have the right shoes to go with it, no matter how many endless pairs of shoes I buy I never seem to have the right ones!

@AuntieDoteexciting for house. Fingers crossed

great lost the 2lbs and even better managed a higher dose

@NippyNinjaCrabenjoy dh tonight 😂

bless knob loving your nice undies - obv has good taste

Kwym about Vinted. Think by the time add postage for another £3/4 it’s not that cheap and people won’t pay £2 for an item

itis cold and frosty here. Shivers

Found another pair of 20 jeans. Black this time in my drawers

I think I can def say I just have been a size 20 and tbh at 17s that makes sense and somehow squeezes my flesh into 18 to forget I was a 20 😳

and why they are baggy on me but not in 16’s which I used to wear tho Many years ago

I have ordered a 16 which will arrive today so we will see if fit into them but I don’t think j I will
