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!

I’m at the end of my first week today: jab #2 this evening. Who else has Tuesday jab day?

Hoping it suppresses appetite as effectively as it did last week. Today has been a lot more difficult but have managed to just about hold it together.

SW 104kg
CW 100.5kg

Wow that's an amazing loss we'll done!

@Mounjaroday that is a great start! I am looking forward to seeing if I have any progress on Friday weigh in.

I still feel no major appetite suppression, except for after dinner where I would normally still be hungry. Also eating less whilst cooking dinner😂

But in general what I’m eating is much better than usual.

I panic bought my next pen today after seeing the news. I’m worried that it’s going to be much more expensive and difficult to buy. I really want to try half a year on mounjaro if possible and if i ever find a dose that suppresses my appetite 😂

@Mounjaroday That's an amazing start. It really helps with motivation, doesn't it?
My official weigh-in day is Saturday but I'm ashamed to admit that I'm currently weighing myself daily, in part because I'm not sure if I'm actually eating enough - well, that's my excuse!
I think my appetite is suppressed but then I start wondering if it's just my mind playing tricks because I want this to work so much.
So far I've had no side effects apart from very mild nausea on day 2.

I have just done my second jab, pleased with my results from my first week weigh in, it's definitely motivating. I have lost 2.1kg

@Bluehels I ordered my next dose today as well, after seeing the news. It’s still ‘processing’ through MedEx so hopefully will get the green light.

@Herefordian yes feeling motivated for sure!

Can I ask everyone about exercise? What’s everyone aiming for, exercise-wise. I’m
not sure where to start.

I am walking 10-12k steps a day then doing a mix of swimming, yoga and weights throughout the week (4/5 times a week)

Wow! @partyfoodpickingpiggy that’s amazing.

I am doing F all currently!

Let's see how long I can keep it up for.

Have you got some hand weights? That would be a good place to start. Loads of programmes to follow on you tube.

Well done on the weight loss so far! Great starts.

I did notice the news today and wondered if anyhing will change for us. I don't expect so in the short term?

I'm attempting to get back to running so running 5k 3 x a week (very slowly). If I manage to lose weight on this I'll be telling people it waa the running and healthy eating..

A question. Has anyone noticed a big change either way with their energy? X

@sc0ttishlass I have felt a definite uptick in my energy levels. I don’t need to crash when I get in from work. But I am finding that my insomnia has got worse - but that comes and goes for me anyway.
I am finding it hard to eat anything - I don’t have any interest in food, so just having small amounts because I have to. That’s ok at the moment, but I’d hope to regain some enjoyment in food at some stage!

5k?! Bloody well done @sc0ttishlass! I can walk 5k but running is so hard! Hats off to you.

(Hoping my pelvic floor will improve if I lose weight. Anything like jogging is just impossible right now).

@partyfoodpickingpiggy I now have a million different hand weights in my Amazon basket … just trying to work out which ones to go for!

Hi all, I will hopefully be collecting my first pen and taking the first dose tomorrow evening.

Currently about 116kg goal is under 80kg.

My highest weight was around 150kg about 10 years ago. The lowest weight I remember was 102kg so my first goal is to be under 100kg

Apparently "healthy" weight is 72kg for me which just seems insane since I've been obese since I was about 11.

I'd like to be comfortably size 14 maybe even 12.

I'm most worried about side effects but I've done a fair amount of reading up and will be avoiding anything greasy/sugary to hopefully minimise this

@sc0ttishlass I definitely have more energy. Like @Lola50 I have terrible insomnia/sleep issues, have had since I was in my teens, and do feel like it's a bit worse since starting mj - but again it's only been a few days and it could just be an unrelated bad patch! The difference is, if I have a shite night I can still go to work and function completely normally rather than crashing mid afternoon and struggling to keep my eyes open in meetings etc.

In other news - I just got back home late last night (I work away half the week) and DH immediately commented on how much weight I'd lost! I still haven't told him I'm trying mj but I think I may have to soon if I continue to lose!! 😁

@Feb2025start that's great re your husband and I think things like this will help motivate to keep going!

My pen is arriving today, would taking it at night or in the morning matter? Also question reg calories, my calories on nutracheck are 1800 a day for my height weight exercise etc but I am reading you should only eat 1400 is this correct or am I only going to want to eat that anyway? Thanks 😊

Mine is coming Saturday and can't wait to start.
Can I ask if you all still take supplements/vitamins or have you stopped.

Mine is coming today. I'm going to inject as soon as it arrives and I'm sure what I'm doing. I want to do my first one when I won't be disturbed.

Hi all! Did my first jab last night, with the help of my DP as I was a bit nervous.
Not feeling much different at all this morning so I’m going to spend the day thinking about the money I’ve spent as a way of helping me to eat more mindfully until the effects kick in.
Feeling hopeful and crossing everything!

@WileyCyrus
Best of luck. My first one arrives today, but I haven't told anybody so I'll have to work out the injection myself. I usually tend to ignore instructions, so I'm going to make sure that I read them & watch a video thoroughly first!

I have Renpho scales and the app is great as it calculates BMI as well as body fat, muscle mass etc.

And I also use MY weight. As I like the graph on it. That also does BMI.

I have also just downloaded Shotsy (free version) as I’ve seen lots of people using for weight and jab tracking.

good luck! I start today 😬

Also exactly the same starting weight for me (85) and I’d like to get down to (65) but ideally 60kg! But as I’m upping my cardio and weights gradually I’m flexible depending on muscle/how I look and feel rather than numbers.

Hoping it stops the food noise and limits my portion sizes.

Mine arrives today and I am so so nervous !
I’ve not told anyone 😬

Hi, 24hrs post first dose. No change to appetite yet. I’m not a great sleeper anyway but didn’t sleep great last night and have been feeling quite cold all day. Bit of abdo pain last night but didn’t develop into anything. Will be interesting to see when appetite suppression kicks in. Eager to get my second dose already. Hope everyone else is doing well so far.

I havn't told anyone either 😬

Thank you! And to you, too! I’ve only told DP and the person who gave me a referral code, and I’m planning to keep it quiet until I see how I get on with it. I’ve joined some FB groups and am finding the photos on there really motivational! I just don’t want to get my hopes up too much as I know progress comes in different forms.

I tried to eat fairly well yesterday and this morning the scales said 14st 13lbs (and three quarters!) - it’s the first time I’ve seen less than 15st in a long time so I’m taking that, 1/4lb off or not!

The jab was easy to prepare etc and the instructions really clear, I know you’ll be fine ☺️
