Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters (thread 2!)

[Mounjaroday]

Welcome everyone to thread 2, all you brave people who started their WLI in Feb!

So happy we can all support each other! Good luck for the next few weeks 🎉

Just checking in. Still doing ok.

Official weigh in day is not till Friday, but stupidly weighed my self today to find i have put on. I am on a period so am hoping it is just that - As i look like a human Womble with my belly it is hopefully just water.

Has anyone else found they fluctuate on their period week, or don't lose?

My protein target is 168g. The ideal is to aim for at least 30g per meal if you have three meals and top up.

my best protein ideas are listed above

Personally I go for about 90-100g of protein a day. I weigh 82 kg.
I see a lot of people on here aiming for at least 1g per kg which is good. Some go a little higher.

On previous weight loss attempts I always maintained the week before and gained the week of my period and then had a big loss (usually around 3lbs) the week after. I expect to see the same this time around.

Fluctuations like that are totally normal. It can be frustrating but just keep going!

SW: 93.5kg
CW: 91.5kg
GW: 70kg
loss 2kg

thought I might have had a blip yesterday as ate a big Sunday dinner ( smaller then I would have in the past) and had sticky toffee pudding but that was my only meal of the day so I think balanced out the overall calories.

not feeling any major effects of jab 2 of 2.5mg, feel quite hungry today but thankfully not for sweet things which is what I would usually reach for when on a long drive for work

I’m due my 4th 2.5mg jab this evening. So nervous about it as I’ve been awfully sick for a couple of days after the last two. Haven’t ordered my next pen yet as I’m going to see how I get on the next couple of days.

I’ve deliberately not eaten too much today as I’m sure the bad reactions have been because I’ve had a really full stomach. I’ve also read on another thread that Pepto-Bismall (sp?) is supposed to help so I’ve got a bottle of that ready. Wish me luck!!

Good luck!!! I'm on my 4th week too - I'm going up to 5mg next as I figure I can always reduce the dose by counting clicks if I get bad side effects on the first week (and the price is basically the same for another 2.5mg).

The only times I've felt any kind of nausea or dodgy stomach on MJ were after overeating - once after a Sunday roast and the other after dinner at a nice steak restaurant. Both times I avoided anything too rich/fatty or carby and made sensible choices but probably (definitely!) ate beyond what my body was telling me I needed (it was just too tasty 🤣). So fingers crossed you'll feel fine if you keep an eye on your intake!

Hi all, been great to read everyone's stories. I've been fine up to now, no negative side effects at all. However I think a combination of too much alcohol last night and too much pasta today has left me feeling sick. Entirely my own fault.

Thank you. Yes I’ve been thinking to go for a 5mg with my next order. Do you know how many clicks you have to do to get half a dose?

Hope your 4th week goes well.

@WelshRarebit79 it's 60 clicks for a full dose, so 30 for a half.

I'm planning to use the 'bonus' fifth dose of 2.5mg which looks to be about the same amount as a standard 0.6ml dose - so considering doing that plus 1/4 (15 clicks) of the 5mg to go up to 3.75mg rather than straight onto 5mg... will see how I feel 😬

(All these numbers make my head hurt 🤣)

Hi all. My first dose has arrived today. I’m going to look at it all properly tomorrow and probably start then but I was wondering if the timing of when you take the dose makes a difference? I’m wondering if taking it in the evening might be better if it makes me a bit tired and nauseous as I might be able to sleep it off. What do you all do or does the timing not really matter?

Hi everyone. I took my first dose last night. I'm just reading other posts here and I'm really confused about counting clicks and the golden dose. Can someone help me please? I just turned the thing to 1 and pushed 🤣🙄🤣

I had my second dose yesterday morning. Woke up late last night to give the longest burp! It was the weirdest thing! 😳😂

Don't worry, you're doing it right . Some people don't want the full dose and count clicks . If you want the normal dose , as per the instructions, you're good .

I'm keen to know this too as mine arrives tomorrow!

I only started mine on Saturday morning but had initially planned to do it on Friday evening. What changed my mind was seeing people talking about waking up with heartburn and acid reflux. I've had reflux for years, which is now pretty well managed, but it can make a miserable miserable night with little sleep. Other people have spoken about really upset stomachs as well. On that basis I decided I would rather deal with any side effects during the day! In the end I've not really had any side effects so far but I did get a quite immediate suppression so it means I also got to feel fairly smug all day about not wanting to eat crisps 😆

Good luck with whatever you choose!

I know, I think they’re called sulphur burps. Slightly odd taste afterwards too!

Well I took my 4th jab last night and feel ok this morning. Bit of queasiness but not too bad. I’m not going to eat too much to see if that keeps the nausea at bay 🤞🏻

Good Morning all,

W3D1- weigh in was a 1lb drop but on my monthly which was an entire week late and usually that's a 2 pound gain so hopefully a whoosh will come.

SW: 17st 10
CW: 17st 4
Current loss: 6lbs

I had by second dose yesterday evening. No problems overnight other than a raging thirst (although there were plasterers here yesterday and there is still lots of plaster dust in the air so it could have been that making me thirsty).
Weigh in this morning:
SW 110.1kg
CW 108.4kg
Goal 90kg
I'm pretty pleased with that. I don't feel that I ate that well last week. I was a bit disorganised, I've done a better meal plan for this week. Also I don't feel like I had much suppression last week. I did feel fuller and stopped craving sugar but was still hunting snacks at 4pm.
Onwards!

Well done guys!

Just had my first weigh in.

Last Tuesday I was 217lbs and today it's showing 210.8 so just over a 6lb loss!

About to take the 2nd dose. Hoping the coming week is a successful one!

Morning!

First weigh in today and second jab done.

Sw 17st 2lb
Cw 16s13lb

So 3lb loss. I'm happy with that! I didn't start tracking properly until mid week so I'm chuffed.

No real side affects I don't think 🤣

Have a great day ☺️

Checking in with my week 2 weigh in

SW 13.4
CW 12.12

Another 1lb off this week, had hoped for more but I'm due on any day now so hopefully I'll have a bigger drop next week 🤞

I did my third jab on Sunday and feeling the effects much more this week than last week - did anyone else get that? Last week I felt like the jab didn't work at all but then yesterday I could barely eat dinner due to appetite suppression. I thought the effect would tail off gradually but it seems to be all over the place?

Well I did my golden dose last night, was a bit nervous about doing it but it was easy so I feel relieved about that as it does end up saving a fair bit of money.

I've been doing a lot of research, and the consensus is that it is good to feel hungry as it is a basic human function. Although I do sometimes get hungry I do not have any urge at all to eat if that makes sense and evenings I could quite happily skip dinner but I make sure I do have something. I've got the next 5 doses on the 2.5 and after that will make a decision whether to stick with that or go up to 5. I'm happy if I can lose 2 lb a week, fingers crossed.

Good luck all.
