Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters

[Mounjaroday]

Just started Mounjaro? Friendly chat and support right here!

My starting weight: 104kg
Would love to lose 30kg over time

Have just started the first dose - no side effects so far. Appetite has disappeared. Cautiously hopeful about the future!

Good luck to anyone else starting their weight-loss journey too. Would love to hear from you!

Is anyone else really bloated? I look about 6 months pregnant 🤣🤣

Hi all Feb starters! First 2.5 injection about an hour ago. I spent January researching and reading, and the first few days of February sending incredibly unflattering photos to MedExpress, took 3 attempts! And thats with a starting weight of 15 stone 8 lbs so hardly a borderline case!
The only person that knows im doing this is my daughter, who i had to enlist to take pics! So hoping to find support here.

Hopefully I’ll be joining you soon, fat pics taken and despatched!

Welcome guys! The fat pics are awful aren't they 😅 but hopefully useful as motivation, I usually avoid full length photos!

I also assumed they'd need a pic in bra and pants so that's what they got (apologies to whoever had to see that at Oushk 😬), only read afterwards that leggings and a t-shirt would have been fine...

Fat photo confirmed as fat enough. Order awaiting dispatch...

I’ve just done my first injection! Am I right in understanding that now I’ve done the first one I can store in my bathroom drawer, and it doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge? Only an unused pen needs to be kept in the fridge?

I was so nervous, but happy now I’ve done the first one. And yes, didn’t feel a thing…

Yep, so long as your bathroom doesn't get heated to over 30 degrees you can store it there for up to a month. Good luck!

My first pen just arrived! It is now in the veg drawer in the fridge in a brown paper bag 🤣
I will be taking it next Thursday as I have some time off work. Worried about side effects, although I am keen to get started!

Urgh I’m finding Friday night quite tricky…did my first jab Tuesday evening and have barely thought about food until now…usually we have takeaway and treats for movie night, which we still did. I had two slices of pizza rather than my usual whole pizza, four chips and one jelly baby, but I keep thinking about biscuits. I keep telling myself it’s about breaking the habit. Must stay strong!

Start weight around 320lb, as guessing because no battery in my scales!
First injection arrived today ( post done about delivery)
hopefully first one tomorrow, concerned about not being able to do the same day/time each week due to never having the same day off work every week!

I’m just finishing my second week on 2.5mg and have been feeling cold and tired on some days but that is settling now. I am really pleased and relieved that the worry about eating the right foods has been taken away and I can make good healthy choices.
My question is about balancing my blood sugar for my gym sessions. Any tips please?

Please may I mark my place and join the Feb gang.

Just did my first jab and a bit shakey (that's the adrenaline!) excited and nervous!

I got to 10s a few years ago with years on ww

Now at 15s and nothing is helping since hitting my 40s - cc looses a few lbs and my weight really isn't helping other issues like awful plantar fasciitis
Let's see what happens

Got a big birthday for hubbie's 50th in June and my niece's wedding - would love some confidence back

SW - 15s
Wi - Tues
Jab day - Fri

For those who’ve been on it for a few weeks. How long after the first jab did the food noises start to quieten?

About three days for me. I really noticed it in my second week though.

Hilarious! Bet they thought you were keen 😆

This did make me chuckle too 🤣

I’m hoping more suppression kicks in this week 🤞 but I have noticed less craving for something sweet, which was a big problem for me.
My next pen should arrive today (was meant to come yesterday but I guess RM ran out of time).
Where is everyone injecting? I’ve done both thighs now but tempted to see if it works better into my stomach??

i also did photo in exercise bra and leggings, not a pretty sight. I am 27.5 BMI and wanted to capture the flab. I needn’t have worried, the photo was bad, the whole front of my body seems to have slid southwards!

Morning all. Second jab and weigh in for me today.

SW 124kg
CW 121.6kg
TW 73kg

Jab day. I’ve lost 3.1kg in this first week - I can’t believe it, really. Nothing has ever worked for me and this has been painless (almost: insomnia and very dry skin!).
Hope you’re all doing well this weekend

Oh my fecking God! Apologies 😅 but I just did my first weekly weigh in at the gym and -

SW - 79.6kg
CW - 71.5kg
TW - 60kg

Just over 8kg/17lb in a week! Yes yes, I know it's going to be mostly water weight but still, what a boost!

Well done to others who've just weighed and good luck everyone else 😊

Some brilliant losses, so pleased for everyone.

@Feb2025start that's insane!

I did my second injection last night and had a headache very shortly after. I had an early night and feel fine this morning.

Considering adding some exercise this week. I average 10k steps a day at work but I'm so tired I don't do much else. I used to run 5k 3 times a week (on my treadmill) and swim a mile 3 times a week, when I had more time. What do others do? And how do you fit it in?

@Feb2025start thats insane! Maybe a lot of it was water weight but what a mental boost to start off with!

Wow what amazing losses today 🥰

I’m W1 D3 but have only just found the thread! No major side effects so far beyond bloating and really bad wind in the mornings 😬. Feeling very dispirited today as I’ve just weighed myself and put on .5kg. I’m hoping it’s the wind as I’ve eaten less the last couple of days so feel like it should have stayed the same at least.

SW- 85.4 kg

No idea on goal weight- I’m only 5foot so an ideal weight for me is around 50kg to be ‘healthy’ BMI but that’s been impossible to sustain ever. Perhaps I’ll see when I get there.
