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 😂😂😂

@owlyboo Mine is definitely a lot smaller than it was, and I have a waist back - which is nice. However, the below the waist roll is just enormous and still sits on my thighs. It's annoying as it makes me look much fatter and lumpier than I actually am. Well, I say 'actually am' - this is my actual body, of course! It's just rather annoyingly distributed in comparison to the last time I was this weight! Ah well - I've got just over a stone to go to get to my goal weight, so I'll have to hope it subsides a little more. I have absolutely no intention of wearing low slung pants ever again, though - it's big pants (in a smaller size) all the way for me! 😀

@4pink1blue thank you! I was exactly the same (hence no pictures in August and September) then in October I guess I just thought I need to start to be able to 'see' the process as I know I would struggle to see a change without it!

Be brave take the pics! At least then you can see the changes easier!

Even though I am very fully clothed in all my pictures, I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself to post them as then you'd all see how seldom I clean my wardrobe mirror 😖There's only so much shame I can cope with being out in the world 😀

@owlyboo wow! You can really see your tummy shrinking in the series of photos. Well done!

@weaselyeyes I'm surprised I don't have more saggy skin on my stomach as when I started mine was really large and when sat down it came really far out over my legs.

I obviously had a 'sad' belly button as I call it as it looks like a sad face 😂 and I think that'll be here to stay even with exercise (especially as I have zero core strength and HATE doing core exercises!!)

Fingers crossed that last stone helps take it down a little bit more for you but most lumps and bumps are hidden in clothes (and big pants!) anyway!

I will never put little pants on! And definitely not a thong (shudders!)

@weaselyeyes I thought the same about all the crap hanging behind me 😂

Thanks @WitchDancer ☺️☺️

Wow @owlyboo - fantastic progress pics and so brave.

I’ve got my starting MJ photos and some recent to compare. Kinda wish now I’d measured and kept a better log but wasn’t actually expecting to get this far.

Thanks @Usernamechangeforthis12 I wish I did measurements!

@Weepixiemy tongue is fine. But I’m thirsty and I always drink 2litres + so not dehydrated

@owlyboo thanks for pictures. Very brave in underwear. I have a few pics of at the beginning and I may take a finish one

you look fab but you know that with 5s loss !!! Can def tell the diff in waist tummy and boobs

did you not take an aug pic for chemist ?

and such lovely little pants

I wear full tummy ones - apple catchers 🙀😳

where has your tattoo gone in feb

pics take a few mins to be approved

@weaselyeyesif you look at my pics my mirror is a state 🙀🥲 - I really must clean it !!!

@Blondeshavemorefun no I took it in joggers and a t shirt and deleted it straight away! Oh and thanks also!

Unfortunately tattoo is still there (I think when my tummy was bigger it almost pulled it up.) I have a few tattoos some I love that one is a 16 year old me mistake... yes 16 😬😬 fake id and all.

I have one from 16 @owlyboo - they didn’t even ask for ID! I initially thought when I looked at your first picture that you had loads of tattoos and wondered where they’d gone in later ones, then realised you were just greased up and I’m half blind 😀

@weaselyeyes 😂😂😂 brilliant! No I have a few but definitely not head to toe 😂

It's bad isn't it! I lied about my name, age and address god forbid there was a contamination or something they had to inform me about!!

I very much doubt mine would have bothered informing anyone of anything like that! 😀

@weaselyeyes well yes same they were tattooing me at clearly 16 with the worlds shittest tattoo

Mine was small and ok but very blurry 45 years later!

@owlyboo you look fantastic, it's brilliant you've documented months like that and see the shrinkage, what a transformation. @weaselyeyes I have so much mess in the spare room, still bare plastered walls from the insulation that was done last April 😳 and so much mess. I might be brave enough to post bare pics one day. My tummy is never going to be non jiggly unless I go hard-core fat burn and core work and maybe some liposuction 😆
Xxx

Thanks @NippyNinjaCrab ☺️

Yeah I think I would need some hardcore core/lipo and neither are going to happen 😂

I have a lot of thread to catch up on! Congrats to all for doing so well, brilliant results and NSVs. I think it was @Mum0ntherun who posted about a slow month - I have also gained and lost the same pound this month. It's so frustrating. I have 10lbs to go to get to 159, the absolute top of healthy BMI. So 7 months and still haven't got to 3 st off. I did go up to 10mg but was SO ill, chronic D&V, time off work. Did a lower dose to stop the D&V but when went back onto 10 it immediately happened again, so I don't dare try anymore. I'm a teacher so can't get to a bathroom when needed! Shall keep plodding on for another month, but it's a big expense for me and while I'm sure I wouldn't sts without it, it's a lot of money to pay to not be losing. Shall try and get through more water this week and hopefully get a loss. Anyway, moan moan...!! Shall go back and read all your excellent advice and get some top tips. Hope you have sunny Sundays wherever you are, beautiful sunrise here in London.

@Theresacatinmykitchenwhatamigonnado sorry you are struggling with 10 but not losing and being ill

some mini dose so would that work. So say 5 on Fri and 5 on tue ?

what dose are you on now and must be awful if need to go and can’t if a teacher

what age fo you teach

are you counting cals as that’s the only way I really lose weight

maybe write a few days food on here and see if we can help /advise ax agree it’s a huge cost if not losing tho also 10lbs to goal is so near so we’ll done

Ooofff . I'm not logging my weigh in this morning! Nearly 4lb on in a week. Not surprising as I mainly lived on bread, potatoes and cheese for a week as the hotel's vegetarian offerings were rubbish.

Usually after a flight I have a bit of a whoosh so I'll weigh again towards the end of the week.

I'm not sure if I should go up to 12.5 though (need to order new pen tomorrow). 10mg had been working really well with lack of symptoms and slow but gradual losses for a couple of months. I hadn't really felt hunger until the latter half of last week.

So what would you do my August friends?

Hmm, tricky @poppym12. It might just be that you felt hungrier because of all the bread and potatoes you were eating. I'd stay on the 10, but I'm conservative about wanting to avoid side effects. You could order a 12.5, do 10 from it the first week and go up after that if it didn't feel enough any more. That's if you could afford the stronger one ok. I am cavalier about using pens past their 30 days, though, you might want to avoid the possibility of waste.

That's true @weaselyeyes. Feeling hungry again after eating toast for breakfast and a roll before dinner. I didn't eat big portions as that part of MJ was still working but I did feel hungrier more often and reached for whatever was available.

I think I'll order another 10 as it was working well and I don't want to risk any side effects. I still have quite a bit to lose so I don't want to move up unless I'm really struggling.

If 10 isn't working after the first week or so maybe I'll extract extra for the other doses and use up the 'extra dose' that way.

That sounds a good plan. I think it's easy to tip into old habits when you're away from home and eating different things, especially when they emit the siren call of carbs! You might fid you just settle back into how you were before when you're home. Glad you're at least feeling better after your rotten run of ill health.

Thanks @weaselyeyes. For a supposedly 5* hotel, the vegetarian food offerings were a bit crap. I ate lots of fresh fruit but apart from nondescript deep fried vegetable things (which I avoid anyway even pre MJ), I was left with salad which I ate plenty of with bread to fill me up and cheese for some protein.

The 2lb I lost last week is now a 3 lb gain this week. Not done anything different. This is so frustrating at the moment. 2 up 3 down 3 up 2 down.argh!!! I need to order a new pen. I’m on 7.5 at the moment so I may go up to the 10 mg but I think it’s more of a case that I need to change something else in the everyday. Probably need to move more as I’m not really doing any huge amount of exercise or even significant amount and I’ve started to eat bread and ‘ treats’ more even though it’s within my calories, I don’t think it’s helping. 😥
