November ‘24 starters thread 6 - The one where it’s still January but we keep losing 💪🏻

[Mounjaropen]

Welcome to thread 6 friends old and new! Feel free to lurk or post, absolutely no judgement here, just support and encouragement as we traverse into 2025 with new bodies and new mindsets 🥰

I’m on W11D5 and on my second 5mg pen
F in her early 50’s
H 5’ 5”
SW 13st 11lb
CW 12st 2.2lb
GW 10st (maybe 9st 7lb if I don’t look too saggy!)
Total loss so far 23lbs

Recommend the Shotsy app to monitor MJ in my system and pleasing graphs to look at…plus the MeThreeSixty body scan app to monitor inch loss for the weeks where weight loss is slow but you might have lost body fat etc. Both are free.

Feel free to swap recipes, tips for side effects and we love a beauty/fitness/style chat too.

Happy Friday!

I’m taking a syringe dose today from my pen. Can anyone check my maths?
5mg pen and I want to take 3.75mg
1ml would be 5mg so 0.75ml will be 3.75mg? This is my first time using a syringe. Any tips? I’m nervous.

Oh wait! A dose is 0.6ml so I need 0.45ml for 3.75??

3.75 divided by 5 x 60 = 45 = 0.45 ml

Another few pounds chipped away this week. Moving into the next bmi category down is in sight! About 3 more lb to go!
I'm still getting red itchy reaction to mn and so am covered in patches recovering from the jab as it takes ages to go so not sure my plan of long term use will work unless this changes. Really hoping for a pill form to come out soon!

I think so, I had protein granola, with protein powder, yoghurt and berries for breakfast and home made lentil and veg soup for lunch. Felt fine afterwards and had a biggish bowl
of tofu, grains and salad veg for dinner, instead of pizza that the family were having, so I should be quite well nourished. Might go back to having a protein shake everyday.

I am off to Park Run in a bit then we are having our UK family Christmas tomorrow
Good luck and enjoy this weekend everyone!

Oops the start of my message was to @Mounjaropen who asked if I was getting enough protein

Feeling a bit flat today as I haven't been able to lose any weight this week... in fact I've put on a pound! I have continued to been careful with what I'm eating and exercising, so is a bit disappointing to have gained. I think this last stone is going to be really tough to shift.

Charming 😁

Oh great idea I was binging on mouthwash yesterday 😂

Today marks 12 weeks for me & I’ve had a small loss this week taking me to 40lbs loss! BMI has dropped from 43 to 37. It’s been 1/2lbs a week for ages but the consistency is really starting to add up - really happy with that 😍

@PandasMum no but my mouth is dry constantly it's a pain in the bum

What a nightmare of a day yesterday caravan awnings flying away then my boy he's 26 ended up in A&E glad it's over

Metallic taste for me!

Well done! I’m a smidgen away from fitting back into some rather fancy Gucci long boots that I haven’t worn since 2010 😳 Good job they’re still in fashion 😂

Woohoo for the loss! Hopefully the prescribers will develop something to combat the itching…. Or indeed a tablet 🙏

Don’t fret, it’ll be the same for all of us I expect. Keep going 💪

That’s amazing! Congratulations!

SW 12st 10lb
CW 11st 5.5lb
Total loss so far 18.5lb
Dose 10 taken this morning which is dose 6 of 3.75mg
I am wondering if/when I should move to 5mg. I feel like suppression has been lower this past week.

Definitely a woohoo day. Just dared to try on the next size down jeggings I got in my charity store blitz and they fit perfectly. My pj bottoms nearly fell off this morning but I don't want to invest too much in this size as hopefully next one down is in sight!

Oh no! Is he ok? Obviously I was glad I travelled up to Scotland on Thursday but the weather was biblical yesterday wasn’t it? Worst thing that happened was my massage and spa day was cancelled along with a champagne boat trip on the loch so an utterly FWP.

Hope you got your awning back!

Even better! 🥳

Great result! I think if you feel ready to, move up.

@Mounjaropen hes fine thanks awning well that's another story scotland is lovely in the summer that's about it what loch is your wee day on?

The last stone is always the slog! I am keeping an eye on my TDEE now I am a bit lighter

Loch Lomond. Sadly it was the only day we had free to do the stuff for us, the rest of the weekend is taken up with family stuff.

Glad your DS is ok 🥰
