Wow who would have thought it

We are doing so well. 7mths

Hugs all the auggies and all of us have lost a fair amount of weight

Some still have weight to lose myself included

Equally a few are nearing their healthy bmi or have reached it and thinking about maintaining

And all I can say is an elephants penis 😂😂😂

Brilliant news @weaselyeyes. What a difference!

As will I 🤣

@PoemsForTea imitation is the best form of flattery! And lovely to receive compliments too.

@Azuresky68 I ate a load of chocolate at the weekend. Got no joy from it. No idea why I did it.

Good morning everyone! I weighed today and have lost nothing which I am taking as a victory due to all the food and rubbish I ate at the weekend. Which was nowhere as much as I would have eaten pre MJ but still.

Have a new Garmin watch. After 36 hours it has told me that my fitness age is 4 years more than my physical age. I think that is because of my weight as I have been reasonably active this week so far. So I will keep plodding on!

Happy Wednesday!

Jab day and weighed in at 12 stone 3lb so I'm good with that.

I used the bonus dose on a 10mg pen and had to use a syringe to get it out. Syringe said I used 0.8ml so is that still 10mg? I've definitely noticed less suppression recently so wondering if I should top it up with another small dose?

Help me wise ones!

I've just read that 0.6ml is a full 10mg dose, so I've had more than a 10mg dose?

If that's the case then I'm happy with that but you certainly get a lot extra in the pen, seems so wasteful but I've always used the bonus dose, how anyone can afford to throw it away is beyond me! 🙈

@NippyNinjaCrab I took your advice, went back to the shop yesterday and bought the size 12 jeans. Put them on this morning and apart from having to undo the button while I was driving to work, they're now fitting lovely.

So emotional. Have not been a 12 since I was 17. Also I ran for 20mins straight yesterday in the treadmill which is another milestone. Cannot believe the changes and utterly terrified about sustainability.

Also, I stupidly spent loads on loads of size 14 clothes which are now too big as I just assumed I'd never go below that size. Thank goodness for vinted.

@PoemsForTea you're an influencer! Great to hear they're on board.

@Timetofindme I would give it a couple of days personally.

Lots of none scale victories, which is really lovely to hear about.

Here I'm on day two of sulphur burps and nausea. Not a good place to be! I'm hoping it's a mini glitch rather than a reaction to the higher dose. Still not good as I've had to take time off work as I'm feeling that grim.

I weighed yesterday and I'm over 3lb down in a week. This is not good. I've hardly been able to face food, never mind ensure I'm getting enough calories, protein, fibre etc.

The cold has mostly gone now, just a chesty cough and today raging earache and nausea. I'm knackered.

I don't think this is caused by Mounjaro, it's a virus, but I am concerned about how little I've been able to eat and I'm having a few jabbing pains in the gall bladder/liver area now.

@poppym12 that doesn't sound good at all, do you think you need to go to your GP?

I'm not sure @Motnight. I presume it was just a cold but I haven't felt hungry in over a week. I think if the ear pain continues I'll try to get a GP appointment.

@1clavdivs what's your vinted? I'm in the market for 14s!

Hi everyone, just checking in. Not much to report - still trying to sell our house, a few more viewings booked this week. Getting ready for going away Friday for the weekend - only St Anne’s, nothing exotic! Imagine it will be freezing but DD will have fun I’m sure.

@poppym12 that sounds nasty I hope you feel better soon, definitely try the GP for the earache if nothing else.

@1clavdivs congratulations on the 12 - amazing! 🎉 🎉🎉

Not sure I could cope with being sledged by my own bloody watch 😆

@witchdancer Maybe a binfluencer 😂

So the weight loss has slowed right down, but although loss is slow it is consistent. I am about a pound short of 4 stone. I have fractured my ankle and thumb.when a fence panel knocked me over in the storms a few weeks back, so the gym has been off the agenda which hadn't been great. Also I have eaten a fair bit of chocolate in the evenings when the pain worst and feeling sorry for myself!
I am about 101.5 kg and so the incentive of getting into 2 digits is spurring me on.
I am doing the enjoyable task of a wardrobe cull. I am sick of wearing baggy stuff and going to treat myself to new!

No. You have had 13.3 mg!!

Hi all,

Has anyone used syringes to inject? I just did that for the first time. Now I'm panicking that I think I saw there was an air bubble in it. I'm now having a complete blank. Did I tap it? Did I prime? Am I in for certain death?

I injected at an angle as it's a longer needle. Any reassurance that I'll make it through the night will be gratefully received!

Thanks. :)

Defo wait a few days and let your levels drop and go back to a lower dose. X

@1clavdivs yes!!! Go you!! Awww what a fab feeling that must have been, not the size 14 lot though, luckily I just bought one pair of jeans in the 14 and the tops I think i can wear a bit longer. I'm mourning my lovely size 16 tops though, I hate Vinted for selling, people annoy me. Xx

@poppym12 that doesn't sound good at all, especially the gall bladder pain! Can you get an appointment tomorrow?

@BigSilly ffs that's terrible hope you're not in too much pain!

@greenmillions I've no idea re the bubble etc I've only used a syringe once.

Hello all, what a cold bloody week it's been, the temperature is to come up tomorrow but with it is winds and heavy rain 🌧 oh lovely haha.

I've been low on the exercise front this week due to the body pain so I need to try and do some extra things in the house if I'm not walking as far.

I had a similar thing when I used a syringe hence my quick ish response. This is the answer so you're fine "Injecting a small air bubble into the skin or a muscle is usually harmless. But it might mean you aren't getting the full dose of medicine" it's dangerous when it's into a vein.

Manic day. Half term so just catching up

@Timetofindme sorry struggling with dose

I would leave it a bit so the dose lowers in body as poorly

@Motnight and @WorriedRelative as will i

@Azuresky68 well done for being back in control

@Motnightgkad a victory sts after the weekend

@Princessandthepie ,6 is a dose so .2 is 1/3 of 10 so I think you had 13.3

@1clavdivs well done for size 12

and running on treadmeal

ans been better that 14 are too small

@WitchDancer sorry for sulphur burps

and must be poorly to take time off work

@poppym12well done for 3lb loss but seems you aren’t happy with that - tho guess I’d not been eating bless you

if still have pain tomorrow talk to supplier /doc

@AuntieDotehopefully a sale soon - have a nice cold weekend lol

@BigSillya 4s loss is good. Slow and steady - sorry for ankle and thumb

@greenmillionsonlt to get the bonus out tho pen did jam so I had to syringe - air bubble isn’t an issue as not injecting into a vein

@NippyNinjaCrab why are you mourning your tops?

I have some 16 jeans 😂😂

we’ve had sunshine today tho be. Cold but dry - Soddy for body pain @NippyNinjaCrab

Well that should sort out the suppression for this week then! 🙈

I feel fine besides having a cold so I'm sure I'll be ok!
