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 😂😂😂

@poppym12 you've probably ordered by now but it will definitely be the carbs making you hungry and weight add. When I was having the sandwiches with the loaf Dh left his last rotation I put on 3lbs ffs and that was a sandwich for 6 days and 2 nights of weighed white pasta lol. Bloody carbs!! Xxx

Urgh i hear ya @Mum0ntherun i had a month of sts and i went up a wee bit, definitely the bread and little things creeping in aren't good for the water retention and sugar levels. Xx

Bless you @poppym12. but you had a nice holiday and it will come off

sure I usually put on 7lbs on a holiday as most of us do

but do log it.

this is our way of life. We will have Gains tho I do understand. I was pisses odd when Gained a few months ago and no reason why

least you had a lovely holiday

I would go up personally as I’m of mind to Increase every month like they advise

the one month I did double 10 Around think week 7/10 I was sts and wish I had gone up to 12.5 and regretted not increasing

oh @Mum0ntherun. That’s frustrating and as above I had the same few months ago. When do the same it’s really annoying when gain

I don’t go Exercise due to ankle and hips but have started boot camp in jan once a week so I don’t think the lack of exercise stops losing iyswim

as I said above to poppy. I’m a believer to follow what they suppliers say and that is to increase monthly so I would order 10

if you are in thur cals you should be able to eat bread tho think @NippyNinjaCrab said bread Bloats her

how much bread have you had @Mum0ntherun

i have carbs every day. Either pasta potato rice or bread and usually lose

I’m trying to sort out clothes. I found this top. I love this. It’s a size 16
i stopped wearing it after I saw this pic and thought it wasn’t flattering

it is a bit big for me as I would say my top is a 14 (just my bloody thighs/hips) lol. But I’m not going to moan about them today

but I do like it. So did a compare pic / have def lost from my boobs

@Blondeshavemorefun I eat rice most days, but always have. However, I have been eating a slice of toast a few mornings (DH likes to bake it, and I like to eat it 🙄) and sometimes a roll/sandwich at lunch—it seems more often this year than last.

I'm on around 1500 calories but don't always eat all of them, though I am eating around 1300 often and very occasionally over (it was my birthday last week, and I had one measly piece of cake—lol!!). I do eat potatoes too. My idea is that I eat what I have always eaten, but in smaller quantities. If I feel 'deprived' that's when I fall off the wagon!

You can REALLY see the difference. Great to fit in our favourite clothes again! Well done 👏

Thank you - it’s tight about top pic of boobs and now hangs nicely

Massive difference well done @Blondeshavemorefun

You suit that colour on you Blondes, you got your jeans on again? Yay 💖

@Mum0ntherun even the smell of bread baking makes me gain weight! I love the smell of bread, if i could have an invisibility cloak, I'd go round the shelves smelling bread 🍞 haha see if it satisfied my craving 😋

Yes my arse is in them @NippyNinjaCrab😘

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun . And you're looking pretty trim there!

I haven't ordered yet @NippyNinjaCrab, I've been flaked out today due to the travelling yesterday. I do feel a bit hungry tonight but didn't have the most nutritious tea. Plus I couldn't eat all of it. I'll have to decide which dose to order tomorrow. I think it would be easier to order 10mg and use a bit extra each week if needed than try to count clicks with a 12.5mg pen if that feels too high.

48 clicks or .48 syringed would be 10 from a 12.5

Weigh day for me today.. and I'm happy with another loss.. 2lb this week which I was surprised at as had a carb heavy weekend and drinks as had 2 social events to attend..

I did my bonus dose with the syringe, I'm not really a fan of doing the syringe but I am not going to be wasting any medication so will suck it up and do it for every bonus dose.. I wish the pen would just work for 5 shots..

SW 18.6
CW 13.4

Less than a stone and will see a healthy bmi.. never thought I would get this close and I feel this is so achievable thanks to the drugs.. just wish I had started sooner..

@morbidcuriosity yay for loss, that's 5st omg 😲 yes me too I wish I had been able to do this sooner but maybe we were waiting unintentionally for our support group. I didn't think I'd ever be able to lose weight to this level. ❤️

Morning all, ❤️ it's a bit grey here this morning, the young ones is going to Park a Pup at 1.30, I'll take the older ones for a stress free wood walk without wayward I'm pissing off again Mum puppy 😆
DH is leaving today 😪 so my aim for the next 2 weeks is weights every second day and mastering this bloody crochet!

I feel so much better on 2.5mg again, brain wise. I've been cooking and more productive and definitely no procrastinating. Ive started taking lions mane in capsule form, does anyone take it in powder form. I have started to notice a difference after 3 weeks.

To anyone who is younger than me, 52, on the thread, keep going with this lifestyle change. I wish I had made even small changes years ago. Xx

@morbidcuriosity well done for 2lb and why don’t you like the syringe - amazing so close to target ! And over 5s loss. I’m almost there - hopefully this week fingers crossed

agree we have lovely august support Group. Sure other months are nice but we are nicer 😂

also 52. Well in July so nearer 52 then 51

till our mind is ready it’s not going to work

when I look back at some of my pics I’m so fat. It’s awful 🙀🙀🥲🥲

Think have small suppression and so I bloody should on 15 ffs

dont fancy breakie so going to bed as worked last night and will have lunch

in a 2 meal day girl. That never happens !

I think as the pen is easier to do.. the syringe needle is a bit longer and it just feels odd doing it, probably as I've never done anything like it before. But it's not to bad really..

Yay for suppression, I get high suppression on this 7.5, not to bad still get some hunger but it's so easy to not snack for most days..

I'm a 2 meal a day girl , I've never eaten breakfast even before MJ..
Oh and I'm 41..

Oh and I read some of the other threads, especially the new ones, thinking back to the many questions I had to start with and how I knew nothing about it at all..
But I agree our August thread is lovely and I love reading about everyone's success.. and seeing some pics of people putting a person behind the text.. I'll get brave at some point and post a pic of me...

I've ordered the 12.5 for my next pen as I'm feeling hungry already today (I've never been a breakfast eater). I've got one dose plus bonus left of 10mg so I think I'll be ready for an increase then.

I hope 12.5 works as well as 10 has.

Blurgh. Injected 12.5mg on Saturday. Thought I'd got away without symptoms but no, up all night with horrible cramps, D&V. Just to help the situation whilst I was going through it, DH was going mad at my self-inflicted misery - he's very protective but panics when I'm not well and it comes out as anger.

I'm cross with letting myself down really. I've gone on quite happily on for months, but clearly my body has decided that with the long half-life of Mounjaro in my system, it can't tolerate this level of dose. I called Medexpress as I'm due to buy a new pen and the really quite helpful customer care woman had a good chat and recommended reducing the strength. She suggested just coming back down to 10, but I think I might go all the way back down to 7.5 or 5. I had good suppression there too, and I just can't be making myself this poorly. Equally I'm terrified of stopping and the weight gain yo-yo starting again.

Any advice from the wonderful August hive mind?

@whethertheweather I would get a 10. Then maybe the first shot from it just do 45 clicks as there will still be more in your body.. then go back to full 10.
I wouldn't drop to low quickly, when I reach a happy weight I'm gonna come down the strengths I think.

Hi everyone!

I haven't fully caught up on recent posts, the bread talk was getting too much for me 🤣

A few updates. Scale and NSVs. Currently on my second 10mg pen, and having good suppression.

So got a new low weight yesterday, a bit of a cheat as it was later in the day than usual but 82.5kg!!! Whoop Whoop!! Of course not so good at 7am this morning but you have to take your victories where you can! I haven't been that weight since 2015!

Then NSVs:

I had to buy a new belt for my jodhpurs as my usual one has no room for more holes and was no longer holding anything up!

Put my best jodhpurs on for an Endurance Ride and they are looking at bit big. They will do for now but I suspect they don't have long left until they go on vinted. I'm a bit gutted as they were a present and more expensive than I would buy for myself.

Got some photos back from the ride and thanks to the nice weather meaning I didn't need ten layers and a big coat I thought the weightloss was noticeable.

Then while I was at the stables someone finally commented!!!! A friend's Mum who I know well said "have you lost weight or is it just that I haven't seen you without your winter coat and layers for ages", I said it was probably both, but so good for someone to notice!

So I am feeling pretty good about things at the moment.

I have also started listing too big things on vinted. Going to have to have a sort out of clothes and find some stuff. I have a denim jacket somewhere that I would like to wear this summer!

That's such a lovely update Mrs worried, my other fave smell apart from bread and dog paws is horses, I LOVE it! Yes I'm a wee weirdo haha.

@whethertheweather you're a wee soul, sorry you are so unwell with it. Definitely drop to 10mg then each dose although I personally have found that the build up of MJ in my system (according to Shotsy) made me ill when I tried to go up a wee bit. X

@whethertheweather sorry been poorly and that dh wasn’t more supportive - remind me is 10 ok for you ? Why did you go up ?

Prob me saying go up lol

get a 10 as same price as 7.5 and you can then do clicks if need be

@WorriedRelative I always weigh less in am hence WWJ

fab NSV with belts as well

glad someone has noticed

Hello everybody! Hope you are all well and still on your losing streaks!

I have had a nice week with it being warm so I thought I should hop on here and show my face before I retreat into hibernation again now its got colder🙁

I am frustratingly close to a 4st loss, I lost 1.2lbs this week taking me to 55lbs lost, so near and yet so bloody annoying!😁

On the upside my visceral fat dropped to slightly raised at 15 from at least 21 and high (I was that when I had already lost a stone and a bit before I got the snazzy scales) so that made me smile.
Plus I have dropped from a 26/28 dress size to a size 20. I hope to see size 16 sometime this Summer🙏😊

Roll on warm weather, I am so tired with being cold and I miss hot water a lot 😂

Keep being fabulous you lovely August lot!

Oh! I forgot to say I have upped my dose today, to a whopping 4.5mg!
I am hardcore, me!😂
