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 😂😂😂

Thanks 😊

I read a bit of this earlier, incredibly frustrating! I couldn't be bothered weighing in!!!

Yes enjoy crisps and will eat them

yes a lovely weekend thanks. Saw friends yesterday and today she’s been with ex so I had a cuppa with a friend and a hot date with sofa and tv 😂. Hope you had a nice chilled one as well @owlyboo

Sounds like a lovely weekend @Blondeshavemorefun ! Yes I've had a good one thanks. Mainly spent the weekend with ds as dd (14) just lies in her bedroom in the dark most of her free time (teenagers!) but we did watch a horror movie together this afternoon when I got from seeing friends with ds so that was nice but nightmares for me tonight 😂

So my Monday morning weigh day. I've lost 5 stone exactly since I started this..

CW 13.6 . Well happy with that.
I'm still on 7.5 got my bonus dose next week then start another 7.5 which will be my 4th one.. as this seems to be the strength that has no bad side effects and still going 1 or 2lb a week loss..
This means I'm 1 Stone away from a BMI of under 25.. which is my first major goal to hit, had smaller goals along the way..

That's all, just wanted to write it out as I'm very happy this morning..

Bloody hell, another half kilo off this morning for 83.1kg and my first BMI under 28!

Jab day today and I am starting my second 10mg pen.

Morning everyone, hope you all have a good week. I managed 2lbs off last week so that felt good and also just got under BMI 28 also. Still got 16lbs to get to BMI 25 or slightly under so feels like a bit to go (although now lost 64lbs since august ).
im in my last week of 12.5 on Friday and then think I’ll also move to 15 like you @Blondeshavemorefun. I have a store of pens so have two 15 pens as I figured if it didn’t agree with me then I’d count clicks to take less. Have a 12.5, 10 and 7.5 sorted also for on the way down (partly as I tried to always be a pen ahead and then sometimes ended moving up as not much suppression). Anyway still plodding along, not got quite the impatient diet fatigue I had for a while and I guess that will just come and go. Well done on all the losses and the fabulous photos of transformation !

Well done @morbidcuriosity. 5s. Amazing !! And almost at healthy bmi.

im guessing you must be taller then me as I need to get to think 11.5 to be very top end of bmi

@WorriedRelativeyay another lb off (I’m old school) and under 28

@Slimhopes well done for 2lbs and yes a good move to go to 15 for the last stone +

Officially I'm 5 foot 10 and half.. but for this I've been putting in 5 foot 10, as they didn't accept the half bit. Lol.
So 12stone 6 is a bmi of 24.8 I think..

Well done @morbidcuriosity @WorriedRelative and @Slimhopes

I saw that thread @Blondeshavemorefun , it's depressing isn't it?

It's funny isn't it, all these people who have always been slimmer and were probably the first to roll their eyes at us fatties and tell us to just 'eat less and move more' - now suddenly these drugs are working for people and they want in on it, suddenly it's actually incredibly difficult to maintain a lower weight and eating less and moving more DOESN'T actually work ever time.

The poster on there who had a BMI of 20 but wanted the injections because she gets hangry and doesn't like having to wait for mealtimes - 🙄🙄🙄- not enough eyeroll emojis in the world!

Thing is, they're not entirely wrong - people ARE easily getting round the prescription controls, taking unflattering pictures, lying about their weight etc. Plus there are lots of unscrupulous, unlicensed people selling stuff they claim is mounjaro to daft people who are prepared to buy it from the same girl who does their knock-off botox. That side of things really does need tightening up, but the vast majority of us were obese in the first place, did meet the criteria, did our research and purchased from reputable prescribers. Believe me, if I could have got to, and stayed at, a 12 or even a bloody 14 without the absolute shitshow (literally!) of side effects MJ has caused, I'd have wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. Financially and physically it's taken a real toll, not too mention on my social life/ how many trips and special events were scuppered by side effects. I hate that the perception is we're all taking it so lightly and just taking the easy option to get 'skinny' (I don't want to be skinny fwiw!)

Cant edit as on the app..
12.6 is BMI 25 at my real height
But not being able to put the half 12.6 is BMI 24.6 ..
So that's my aim for now.. the loss has slowed down, but I reckon its achievable in 2 months maybe..

I'm 5 foot 6 and a half and have the same issue, it's annoying isn't it, but I figure if I go with 5'6 I'll definitely be within the healthy range when I get there!

@AuntieDote it's a small little win not accepting the half as means your BMI is higher to the pharmacy.. so I take that, not cheating in my eyes, as why would I say I'm half an inch taller than I am.. haha.
On the NHS bmi you can put cm in, but when I tried for the order it wouldn't let me.

I have this issue, I'm 5ft8, which is 172.7cm so I have to round up to 173 or down to 172cm.

I go for 172cm as that's what Bupa put down on my health check which was the last time I was officially measured and it gives me a higher BMI for Mounjaro purposes.

Well done @morbidcuriosity, @WorriedRelative @Slimhopes

My order for the three pens got accepted this morning. So that's good. One final month at 15 to try to lose the last couple of pounds id ideally like to to take me to a slightly lower healthy bmi then I'll move down the doses. I've worked out it means I'll be on MJ until August so for a whole year but I don't want to just come off it cold turkey and regret it.

I did 30 clicks of my 7.5 last week, so 3.75 - but I have to say it's had pretty much no effect suppression/ food noise wise. I'm thinking I'll have to try and push it this week, although I'm scared to as I know what happened last time!

I feel rubbish today, but like I've got a bug rubbish rather than anything side effect related. But I'm starving and strongly craving sugar, as I pretty much have been the last 5 days. Boo.

Those 3.5 inches make all the diff @morbidcuriosity

@AuntieDote very

and yes her. Have a snack then or a bugger breakie or a glass of water

knock off an inch or two on height. Add a 2kg weight while weighing

@owlyboo glad your order got accepted

@AuntieDote be brave and try 5 - you say hungry. What have you eaten ?

Having been quite frustrated that all protein products are so horribly sickly sweet I have to share my new solution!!!

Bovril!

I had some on a pikelet for lunch and really enjoyed it and fancied some as a drink. I don't know why, I haven't drunk it in decades.

So I got it out and noticed the label says it is high protein. So I googled it. One tsp, which is enough for a small mug, is 4g of protein, much less than a serving of vimto clear whey made up but also far less calories. Really satisfying and tasty and I am feeling better having felt a bit sickly post jab.

I often have a cup of marmite 😂

@owlyboo well done on your success! I am the same as you in that I am not coming off MJ in a hurry. How are you finding 15 mg? I only went as high as a 12.5 mg pen but my bonus dose was more like 16 mg. I can easily eat 1000 calories, apart from the day after the jab. Feel tired and a bit sick most of the time. I am just 2 pounds above top of healthy BMI but on holiday from Friday for nearly 3 weeks so will be happy if I maintain. I am going to go down to 10 mg on Friday, then probably down to 7.5 mg. It's a bit scary though. How are you feeling about maintenance? How far did you under the top of your healthy BMI? Did you order all pens to be delivered at the same time? Would love to hear more about how things go on maintenance. All the very best.

What the jolly Jesus is a pikelet??!! That sounds very interesting?!

I don't have a sweet tooth but sometimes just sometimes I look for something sweet. Introducing my new favourite sweet hit!! 😋

Fab ❤️

Ha ha it is a local delicacy, a bit like a crumpet but thinner and bigger. Quite difficult to buy in mainstream shops but DH saw some so bought a pack.

Thanks @Azuresky68 I'm currently at 10 stone 9 which gives me a BMI of 24.2. I would ideally like to get down to at least 10 stone 7 if not a couple more.

Yeah I've ordered a bundle so a 15,12.5 and 10 so they'll arrive together. I've ordered a bundle in the past and they had good dates on them.

I suppose I'll probably then order the starter bundle which will be a 2.5, 5 and 7.5mg which will bring me to the end of
