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!

Thanks everyone who commented - suggestions noted.

Oh no! But you’ve still lost weight - did your old ones have quite an inaccurate reading then?

Would you recommend your new ones? I’ve decided maybe I need to start tracking other things as well as weight.

This happened to me. My shit old scales has me half a stone under my actual weight and to add insult to injury the new ones shifted my front number from 12 to 13. Only just got down to where I thought I was 3 weeks ago. Bastards

My new accurate scales are on clearance price at Argos and get good reviews. They give me a load of info via an app on my phone but only actually display the weight on the scales (although I haven't fiddled to see if that can change). Once I had them connected to the app they've been a doddle to work although given me new reasons to be depressed too. Nice to see lots of graphs moving in the right direction though! https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3980990?clickSR=slp:term:renpho%20scales:4:41:1

Well done! Great job on the fitness also!

That sounds like a really sensible plan. Congratulations on your losses so far!

On the basis that you don’t know how your digestive system is likely to react to MJ, I definitely would not do any sort of bowel cleanse as you may find that MJ produces one automatically 😂

The other tips that you’ve had so far from other posters are all excellent. Definitely download the shotsy app and a body scan app – one of the popular ones is methreesixty. Hopefully you’ll find us as good as your diet coach! Good luck on your journey keep checking in with us.

Thank you for the kind wishes. It was lovely to go out and feel more glamorous than I felt in awhile now, but it is apparent that I still cannot hold my drink on MJ, I was an absolute wreck having stayed drinking for many hours after the lunch.🙈 😂

Such a great post! We’re all here to support everyone regardless of how much anyone has to lose, I think actually writing down your weight and being accountable really helps. 💪🏻

That’s fantastic!Even when the scales show zero loss for me, the body scan app keeps me motivated as I can see I’ve lost inches of various different parts of me…Keep going!💪🏻

I’d wager that with more consistency in your nutrition and choice of nutrition this week and your ability to exercise you will find it might not be as tight as you first think🤞🏻

Those losses are amazing! Congratulations 🥳

31lbs is incredible! Congrats 👏

Just to report that the 5mg has given me a decent suppression boost. Was only able to eat half a portion of porridge and didn't finish it. Have ordered some Huel powders so that I have something for breakfast. Haven't weighed in yet, though, will do that on Friday.

It’s interesting how everyone’s partner influences their natural food or alcohol intake isn’t it? I know for sure that if DH is away, I consume much less food and I’m far less likely to agree to a cheeky glass of wine. That said, DH has been very good at not asking during the week if I fancy a glass of wine and on Friday night did actually join me in another alcohol free night, which is quite unusual for him. I think he’s looking at my loss versus his weight loss plan and I reckon I’ll be able to get him to use my referral code soon .🤣

I think deliveries to Work only works out if you’ve got someone who is likely to be able to accept the delivery of the package very early in the morning or maybe later in the afternoon. The med express packages are really well insulated so you’ve got no issue with them potentially being in your safe place or redirected to the local sorting office.

Personally, I would stick with your current dosage on the basis of how you are fairing so far 🥰

Fabulous losses! Congratulations👏👏👏

Oh, I hear you, I’m 1.9lbs…away from the scale saying 11 something so I don’t think I’ll be seeing that next week possibly the week after. I bet you see yours this coming week though.🤞🏻

Oh no! Was there much of a difference?

🐟🐟🐟🐟

Work reception is open from early until late so that’s not a problem but delivery to the sorting office would be a disaster because it’s miles away and hardly ever open and only during my working hours! I WFH one day a week so choosing a delivery day would be okay but MedExpress doesn’t have this.

@Coffeeandcinnamonbun does it require a signature? If not then you should be able to set up a "safe place" for Royal Mail (via the delivery tracking email or their app). Our posties are so well trained they deliver to our coal shed even when we're in 🙃)

I use Oushk & can choose the day but as above it makes no difference as they deliver to the coal shed!

Thanks for all your replies about the Renpho scales! (Highly recommend, and am looking forward to changing all of those stats for the better) 💪

Amazingly they only had my weight as 1lb more than my old ones (mildly irritating), it was just that they reprimand in the manner of an outspoken aunt, with no filter, at a family wedding...

• Oohh, you're overweight (I'm aware)
• You really need to lose a few more stone (I do)
• Have you drank enough water today (err..)
• You haven't actually used those newly purchased weights much, have you (I've been..er busy)
• Your BMR is only 1306, better put those sausage rolls down (point taken)
• Your visceral fat is really high (ok)
• Your subcutaneous fat is off the scale (cheers for that)
• Remind me dear, how old are you now? 55?

FUCK OFF, I'M STILL IN MY 40's! 🤪

😂 @MontyJinks. Mine classify all of the Stats Of Doom into excess, elevated and high but I don't even know which level of bad is the worst level of bad!

@PinkArt So far I've got 3 reds, 3 greens, 3 blues, 4 yellows 🤷 - plan to spend a bit of time this afternoon working out what it all means 🙃
