Mounjuro August thread 12

[Blondeshavemorefun]

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 😂😂😂

The only thing I've done differently is have malted loaf sandwiches 🥪 this is the only loaf my intestines don't complain about weirdly, and I've had 2 dinners of bolognese and white pasta. I weigh the pasta but I know you're right and it's the last 2 weeks of carby food. Normally I'd be so depressed about it but I feel okay and upbeat this morning. I don't feel I have put on actual weight but I do feel more squishy if that makes any sense, as if I'm carb water holding. Xxx

@4pink1blue whoop, brilliant loss again and a wee shopping 🛍 trip will be good xx

@Usernamechangeforthis12 Argentina it is! My friend has organised it all and it's half the price of an organised tour.
I haven't seen the friend I am going with since last March as we don't live near eachother and have both got busy lives (mainly travelling to nice places) We both started MJ on the same day last August. It will be fabulous to see eachother. She has gone from size 18 to 14, I have gone from 14 to 10/8! I am a short arse! The other friend is tall and slim but can eat anything. Both are single and neither are interested in meeting anyone else but when i was 58, after 8 years of being single I decided I wanted some fun and entertainment 😅....it wasn't easy and I kissed a few frogs but eventually I met someone 5 years ago (at age 63, he was 64) Couldnt believe I had met someone I really fancied! I had lost weight when I met him but gradually crept on up to last August. We are really happy an I think the secret is we were both independent when we met but wanted the same things, also we fancy eachother like mad and we don't live together, although we usually see eachother 5 days a week. I still do a lot of things with friends, including my Argentina trip. Happy days!

Fantastic news!

@NippyNinjaCrab. Yes that makes sense. I am the same that I haven't been too down. I have had more carby stuff because I have felt pants on 12.5 mg. Back pain has got to me and codeine is a nightmare. Also family upsets to do with a wedding have really got to me. With MJ I know I have control of my eating even though I can't control the back pain and the family upsets. I am so very near my target so hanging on in there without focusing on the scales right now.

So sorry for everyone who has been feeling down - hopefully the sunshine will lift spirits a little. A bit woo woo but I try and think of one this every day that I’m thankful for - yesterday it was some lovely flat pinky coloured clouds I saw out of my bedroom window. They made me smile at how beautiful they were.

@NippyNinjaCrab carb water holding is the worse - Bain of my life as I need to eat some high fibre carbs to keep me going 💩

I'm fuming. Royal Mail were supposed to deliver my MJ today but I won’t be in - so chose redirection to post office which I’ve done before so I could collect it tomorrow as it’s open on a Saturday morning. Done this before and the ice has still been frozen so thought it would be ok. As soon as I agreed that option it said delivery can be collected on Monday!!

Fortunately for the first time ever I’m completely out of MJ having taken my last done yesterday, so as long as it’s not kept above 30 degrees is should be ok. Annoyed though!

Was going to think bout moving to Oushk when I got nearer to BMI of 30 but this may make me do it sooner than I would have so that I can nominate the delivery day.

Hope those doing WWJ today have a good result.

Oh bless ya, certainly just a watery bloaty blip. Can't imagine having it on a chalk board for the world to judge me 😂 Mine says Tomato puree and washing up liquid 😂
Sending positive vibes ✨️

Enjoy your well.deserved shopping! An incredible loss ❤️

-2lb for me so finally got under 14 at 13.12 !
I did it a bit different this week following food noise and malaise last week so I jabbed 10mg weds, then 2.5 on Sunday. Worked really well for me for a little boost. Am on my 3rd month of 10 so was a legitimate top up in my head, and no side effects felt 😆
Also v happy to see my metabolic age in my renpho stats drop a year to 58 (I'm 52 however 😆 ) Onwards and downwards eh!

@PoemsForTea I'll take a pic of my wee board lol 😆 I'm ditching the pasta and malted bread for a couple of weeks! Well done on the loss a top up jab has worked for me in the past, saved me some side effects for sure. Xx

@Azuresky68 I take co codamol daily, i was weaned off Tramadol and morphine and never again will I take it, awful experience lol 😆 the co codamol and Naproxen help my pain but it's not great is it, I'm sorry you suffer from back pain, it's the pits and so debilitating. I've got herniated discs and nerve damage so I totally know your suffering. Coupled with your other stress it's a rough road but you've coped amazingly, hugs xxx

Aww ffs @BettyandtheVets can you change the collection? Call the delivery office to ask? That's rubbish xx

Well done @PoemsForTea - great milestone! And commiserations on your freakish blip @NippyNinjaCrab. I expect it’s the malt loaf - I almost drooled thinking of it, it’s been years since I’ve eaten any, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that I love and have to avoid. My nan used to give me a cup of milky instant coffee and buttered malt loaf when I got home from school. It was so comforting.
One pound off for me this week. I’ve got 2 (well. 2.8) to go to hit the top of a healthy BMI. I feel very impatient, but annoyingly also quite peckish! 😀 I feel they’re going to come off painfully slowly.

@Blondeshavemorefun I have at least another elephant's penis to lose 😞. Will keep plodding on!

Argentina sounds amazing @Azuresky68 - I’m jealous!

Well done to @PoemsForTea and @4pink1blue and any other losers this week! Commiserations on your freak gain @NippyNinjaCrab but glad you’re not letting it get you down. I bet if you weighed again in a day or two at least half of it would be gone, I have the odd blip like that I just move my weigh in day as I refuse to accept it haha.

Im shattered today, shocking nights sleep courtesy of DD. I actually skipped yoga that I was planning on going to, I did do a pretty full on barre type class last night though. I need to get back into the swing of exercise, I’ve not fit any classes in for a while with going away, house viewings and various other stresses going on. We accepted an offer over the asking price yesterday - now we just need to find something we like which is proving very difficult!

Good morning all. Well done on all the loses and boo / hiss to the scales of anyone who hasn't seen the results that they wanted.

Spent a fair amount of yesterday sorting out old clothes for the clothes bank. Found 12 tops that I have never worn that now fit 🤣. Got rid of clothes that do fit but seem really baggy. Also some clothes that were too small when I bought them so never worn but now too big.

You been a busy chatty bunch

@NippyNinjaCrab indeed a saving Grace. Less suncream

well done @PoemsForTea for taking dd out

impressive getting into Clothes nearly 30yrs old @Usernamechangeforthis12 and envious of a 12 !

sorry for gain @NippyNinjaCrab- possibly water gain and sure will be off next week

no walk of shame needed

well done @4pink1blue. Amazing you have lost almost 6.5s

@Azuresky68great you have a mj friend buddy - you must both hate the naturally slim friend 😂

I think we all gain weight in contentment then gain as eat if unhappy /stressed so more goes on

I don’t think I would live with someone again tbh. I lived with 2 dh and obv if dh1 didn’t die hopefully we would still be together but who knows

some evenings I love flopping on sofa after putting dd to bed and just chilling watching tv or nattering to friends or reading and no one interrupting me

@BettyandtheVets pink clouds sound lovely - how annoying. Seems weird Royal Mail via ousch are happy to leave in safe place if not in so May be worth moving to them. I only moved as bmi is 28 ish and want the flexibility of diff plans when at goal

hopefully more companies will do maintenance

dont even own a chalk board unless count dd art one 😂

@PoemsForTea well done on loss and. Into 13’s

@weaselyeyes well done for lb off and so close to healthy bmi

@Motnight you will be the proud owner of 2 elephant penis’s at goal. Not many can have that claim to fame 😂😂

that’s cheating @AuntieDote. You can’t change WD !! 😛 but great had an offer on house

DH is getting a wee bit romantic lately haha, it's our 4th wedding anniversary today and 7 years since we met. Xx

That's brilliant you've gotten your asking price, now it's house hunting which i found very stressful when I was with exh. We had 3 houses in 23 years and I wish I had left him before buying house number 2 and taken the equity with me hahaha 😆

Waiting to get into a doggy play park for our one hour slot. It's a great one and stress free for me with the wayward puppy at the moment. Normally my friend comes too and they all get on great running around. Xx

WWJ and a lb off

i have the slight hump as wanted 2 so a bit mer

i have been keeping total over each pen so 5w including bonus and this pen is 8lbs

bonus was .7 so think that’s 12.5 (.6) plus .1 (1.6) so think I’ve had 14.1 this week

15 starts next Fri

just been to bootcamp. A sunny day 🌞

Awww @NippyNinjaCrab. Happy wa 💐

Ahh that’s beautiful @NippyNinjaCrab

I know it’s cheating @Blondeshavemorefun but it makes me feel better 😂To be fair I don’t really log it anywhere week on week anymore, I just tend to weigh maybe twice a week and hope that the general trend is down! I think I’m on for a STS this week which would be fair enough with being away last weekend and not much exercise apart from one class. Should have weighed this morning but didn’t time it right without DD seeing me and I do try to avoid that if I can, dont always manage it as she’s literally my shadow and still can’t wee in peace. By the time I’d got her off to school I was dressed and had eaten some breakfast so will be tomorrow morning now.

I made baked oats last night - kept seeing them all over tiktok and fancied trying them. Massive hit with DD she had them cold with yoghurt for breakfast. I had mine reheated and they were ok, didn’t love them but I’ve made enough for about 10 portions so guess that’s what we’ll be having for breakfast for a while 😂I don’t always eat breakfast as I try to only eat between 12 and 6, but if I’m really hungry I will.

I always wee in peace !!
Sounds like you need a top door lock on the bathroom @AuntieDote

Sw swear about baker oats. I’m not sir sure. They seem to go glunky

Congrats on all losses, and commiserations on any gains! We have been on this a long time and gains/maintains are bound to happen! Just got to keep on keeping on.

I have ordered a 12.5, but only remembered to order today, so will prob be Monday for delivery now. I don’t have any MJ in so hopefully will be Mon - already a day later than usual jab day 🫠 but just completely forgot!! Fingers crossed!

Actually that can’t be right .1 must be 2 if .6 is 12.5

so I’ve had 14.5 so Almost whole next dose pen

Happy anniversary @NippyNinjaCrab .

I've been packing today. I piss myself off that I leave everything until the last minute. I keep meaning to try to do things in plenty of time but I never do.

Early flight tomorrow so best get some sleep. Congratulations on the losses and commiserations on sts or gains. It's bound to happen more often for all of us at this stage in the game.

@NippyNinjaCrab it'll be gone soon! Happy anniversary lovely flowers!

@4pink1blue wow! That's some overall loss! Well done!

@Azuresky68 sounds like a fab balance. Having the company but also the space!

Well done @PoemsForTea

Well done on the 12s @Motnight and for getting rid of all the things to big!

@Blondeshavemorefun I saw a tik tok today about how people that have been on their own for a while can literally not comprehend living with someone again, having to share their time and space and I thought 😱 that is literally me! The thought of having to discuss what is going on the telly not just putting my tv on! 😂 well done on the loss! A pound is a pound!

Nothing much to report from me today... weigh day tomorrow after last weeks loss I'm expecting a STS as that's what seems to happen now I'm a lower weight.
