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!

Still 1.2lbs off a new stone bracket here too! Maybe this will be our week this week 🤞🏻

🥳🥳🥳🥳

Great way to start the week! Congratulations!

Super loss for this week! Congratulations! What’s on the menu for you this week?

Morning all!

Willing an easy but mighty 💩 tips you into that bracket tomorrow @evilharpy

Well done @cantbesure ! Love a milestone achievement!

Injection day for me so going to watch what I eat very carefully over the next 2 days to try and avoid any side effects on Wednesday. According to Shotsy, I should be back at the level where I wasn't having any side effects, so fingers crossed.

Morning! Weighed in on a whim. Back to my lowest weight pre-Christmas. Very pleased to only have gained 2lb over the festive season and to be back in the game.

16 Nov 2024: 23 stone 10.9 (start weight)
12 Dec 2024: 22 stone 8.5
02 Jan 2025: 22 stone 10.9
20 Jan 2025: 22 stone 8.5

After being fine for ages I've suddenly got diarrhoea and feel dreadful. Hopefully it'll pass soon. I'm definitely not being productive in work today. Not sure I'll make it through

Did jab last night. Not quite sure how much I used. It was a 5 pen but I'd been doing slightly bigger doses as felt suppression has been nearly 0 since new year. It was a bonus dose so probably nearly 7.
I'm away from home for the next 8 weeks and have only travelled with 2 full 5 pens. So going back down to 5 for 5 weeks then spacing out the remainder for 2 weeks. Twice.

W11D1 - 7th 5mg jab

S/W 16st 7
C/W 13st 9
G/W 11st ish

1lb lost this week, was quietly hoping for a few more to hit the 3st total loss, but I knew this was slightly optimistic! Especially because I can feel the pre-period bloat. Maybe next week! Still feeling the suppression on 5mg so reluctant to move up to 7.5mg - I’m leaving it as late as possible to reorder as I ordered my current pen early and I’m hoping medexpress will send me through a discount code if I can hold out for 50 days. It’ll be tight but should have enough time for delivery, especially if I can get the extra dose out again.

Congratulations to everyone for their recent losses and NSVs.

Well done @WellyBootsandPuddleSuits / just under 3 stone is awesome! I'm considering getting a 7.5 next but continuing with 5 whilst it's working. So 45 clicks of the pen. It's more expensive but gives me that flexibility. I'm also looking to move to zava for a cheaper pen.

Officially a stone down this morning!

That's 7.6% of my starting weight, over 10 weeks.

If I continue at the same rate then by late May I'll be down to a weight which is a) officially not overweight, b) around the same as I was when I got married c) around the same as I was at university d) an easy size 12.

Still hard to believe, but a lot easier than it used to be!

I hadn’t thought of that - will see if I get sent a discount code (to make it more cost effective for me) then I might do the same with a 7.5mg pen. In my head, I’ve set myself a limit of 6 pens - if I can get a few extra doses out of them to make them last longer, that’d be handy. The bank (aka husband) needs to reconcile the finances and would just see the purchase price, not the cost per dose!!

If you can be bothered to switch @WellyBootsandPuddleSuits the cheapest for 7.5mg is curate at 127.50 with a few others at 129. I'm planning to switch to zava this week so will have a code I can share then if you are interested. I've had no joy sharing my MedExpress code on the code thread 😂 I know you need to do the consult again and take pictures holding a note with the date.

Well done @Oceangrey we are stone buddies! I've just been doing the same and plotting when I cooks be at goal. I'm hoping my the end of April. 🤞 for us both.

Morning all and thanks @Mounjaropen for the new thread. So good to catch up on all the great progress.

I'm officially 1.5 stone down now and 70% of the way to target since 10th Nov.

W11 D1.

SW 12st 13
CW 11st 6
GW 10st 10

Second week on 6mg and feels OK - may nudge to 6.5 or 7 next week.
Still having much love for MJ.

I'm joing the 1lb til next stone bracket gang. It's in touching distance, hopefully next week 🙏

Well done everyone for keeping going with Christmas, plateaus and slow weeks, we've got this 💪
I also have renpho scales, I rarely open the app to sync the stats it's too cruel.

Let's hope we all get a result this week!

Fab losses! Well done!

Well I hope 'the bank' would apply the same rules to himself! I think DH would spend any amount of money to have me this cheerful tbh 😂

Woo hoo! Brilliant results!

I was going to try and hold out too but realistically I need to order today. Fab losses tho - 3 stone! Awesome.

2 full pens over 8 weeks should be right though? Happy travels!

There is a lot of Norovirus going around at the moment, wish you better!

Congrats! I think we all did well to get through Xmas relatively unscathed tbh.

Good luck! Jab day for me also - I tend to have my main meal at lunchtime but jab around 9pm. Seems to work.

Rather than completely miss a dose it might be easier to do a half dose for that one week?
