Mounjaro October starters - Thread 7!

[HansHolbein]

As we were…

Called MedExpress further to them bizarrely requesting ID and pics even though I've been using them since the beginning and my BMI is currently 31. I got a recorded message saying it will be an hour before you can speak to someone so please e-mail your query instead. I hung on and was answered within 3 minutes so clearly they just don't want to speak to us! Well I complained and said I've done your bidding but no acknowledgement nor e-mail confirming receipt of pics/dispatch notification. I said I'm not impressed and if for any reason you can't fulfill my order please refund my money and I'll go elsewhere. Well surprise, surprise I was told there and then that my order had been prescribed and was awaiting dispatch and within a couple of minutes I received an e-mail confirming. So, looks like you need to call to galvanise them into action. I note there is now a Royal Mail tracking number on my account so hopefully my next pen will turn up tomorrow or Thursday.

glad you got it sorted @recklessgran but annnoying that you had to go nuclear!
@TheOtherSide21 that weight loss is absolutely incredible, massive well done 👏

I hit my goal I had norovirus or food poisoning last week and lost five lbs in a few days but it’s stayed off for a week apart from one lb so I am just below 9st now. Need to tone up more but feel like it’s a good arse/face balance at my build (small/pear/flat chested) and age (mid 40s)
thank you all for the encouragement and support. I’ve got a few maintenance jabs left in this last 5mg pen and then going it alone so will need the peer support I’m sure!

Congrats @lapuf - although commiserations on the food poisoning!
I landed home from holiday a couple of hours ago, not weighed in for 2 weeks. Have definitely gained, been enjoying daily carbs and beers which I don’t really do now normally but even so it’s been way more moderate than I would have done previously.
Shared chips with my own salads at lunch rather than had a whole portion to myself, shared a pizza one lunchtime and evening meals were things like steak and veg. But yes, beer and wine…
Also have not had many 💩- 3 in 10 days - might weigh in tomorrow morning but tempted to jump on now just to see!

I weighed in, I’ve put on 2.5lbs in the 2 weeks I’ve not weighed, I’m quite happy with that!

Hello everyone I am still here, week 33 for me. I am on 5mg still, which is working nicely for me with about a 1lb loss each week. Suppression is good and the side effects (mainly tiredness) have eased off. Although I am absolutely freezing!

I am now 9st 5lb and gone from a size 16 to an 8/10 which I have never been before. I am doing lots of heavy weightlifting but I do have a really crepey stomach and wrinky bum. I’ve been overweight all my life so suppose it’s to be expected.

I will be on this for another few months - not even sure what my goal weight is. Aiming at 8st 7lb which is a stone over minimum healthy weight.

Well done everyone and thanks for the thread. I don’t post much but so glad it’s here.

@Mincepieinthesky - So far so good but im using more for prevention as im in my 30s. My mother is in her 50s and she also has one and likes it.

@Vegemite123 Maybe because I'm on the jab too that I think like this ...but I automatically presume anyone who's lost a lot of weight in the last 6-9 months (but has been bigger for years previously) are on the jab and just keeping it a secret.

@Carridoesntlivehereanymore Well done on the size 12s!

@recklessgran I hope tou are feeling better soon and further tests come back posative.
I also had to upload my documentd again when I got another pen via medicine market place recebtly even though there was only a one month gap in ordering!

@Crazydogmumma - Oh it would be lovely to see a picture when its time to wear it!
I have a gala dinner to attend in sept and I have my eye on a red satin number but I may change my mind closer to the time so not buying it yet! hoping if i still like it i can find it on vinted!

@DeltaAlphaDelta79 I read on another thread where a discussion was going on about how some of them thought some pens were stonger then others! now that shouldn't be possible but some were convinced.

@Letshavetea1 Talking about baggy clothing, Im wearing a size XL pair of joggers (WFH Today). They dont stay up at all unless I pull the strings as tight as I can 😬 ha ha no idea why I still have them.
What's this height to waist ratio you mentioned? how do I do that?

@TheOtherSide21 8 Bloody stone, well fucking done!! sorry to hear about the hair loss though!

@lapuf Well done on getting to goal!💫

@TheChosenTwo 2.5lb gain in 2 weeks is amazing, hope you enjoyed all the beers and wine!

@Maarva well done! not long and you will be at goal!

I'm on 10mg for the last 2 weeks and the second week it has kicked in like a dream! Im not even thinking of food at all. Had a lovely week off with the kids so far, 3 lots of swimming, cinema twice and legoland for the day so iv been a busy bee. I now have to work for the next couple of days.
Out for a meal on friday night as its our wedding anniversary I may weigh tomorrow morning instead of sat morning!!

Rubbish customer service! I hope it shows up promptly!

@Fizzleawayyy1 it's supposed to be coming today by RM and is tracking that is the case so hopefully that will be the end of it. I'll be interested to see what happens next month when I order again. I'm excioted today [you slow losers will understand why!] Interestingly I've lost 3lbs since Sunday so far - do you think it's a fluke or is it that I've finally hit the sweet spot with the heady heights of dose 4.75mg? Hope everyone's having a great day too!!

@Fizzleawayyy1 funnily enough, I jabbed on Monday and the suppression and nausea have been strong this week! But I wouldn't be surprised about the difference in pens/suppliers tho

@recklessgran I hope your pen come! well done on the 3lbs!

@DeltaAlphaDelta79 Strange isnt it! lucky so far iv had no sicky feeling but all iv ate today is half a scotch egg and a small salad. The thought of eating more is bleh!

Pen arrived at 6.45pm - no idea what is going on but we're regularly getting our post in the evening lately .We're quite rural and I find this quite odd for some reason. Never mind the pen is safely in fridge.

Glad your pen arrived @recklessgran

I'm weighing today instead of tomorrow morning as we are going out for a wedding anniversary meal tonight. 🍽

Iv lost 3lbs this week. 💥

I hope I can lose another 2lbs by next Friday (will weigh in again on Friday next week as on a hen weekend from friday afternoon)

After everyone talking about excess skin etc... I examined my body last night😂and I cant see any so far (except my stomach from having my kids but thats been the same for years) but I am in my 30s and was only bigger for last couple of years so that might be why? Im hoping it continues to look ok over the next couple of stone.

@Fizzleawayyy1 ah that’s good to hear. I’m 31 so hoping for prevention and a bit of a boost. I’ve ordered one so hopefully I’ll be glowing in no time 🤞🏼enjoy your meal!

Been wiped out by a chest infection and half term this week but getting into the swing of maintenance. Have a social few weeks coming up so will see how my willpower goes without mj.

@Mincepieinthesky Good luck with maintenance. let us know how you get on.

I woke up super early and I am still so so sooo full. I had 4 large bits of steak, sauce and 2 spoons of mac and cheese.
I didn't touch the chips but I feel uncomfortable today so I think I will be eating very little as its sitting very heavy!

@TheOtherSide21 do you feel like the hair loss is slowing down? I noticed in March that I was losing mine, again I had quite thick hair to start with so it was quite nice to thin it down a bit but I started panicking that it wasn’t going to stop so started to regulate my weight rather than trying to get any more off. I was told that it’s fast weight loss that can cause it and it’s 3 month cycle so makes sense that I dropped about 3 stone from Oct - Jan and then started losing it around March. I still have a stone to go but only one jab left so think I’ll do that and then come off it and then aim to lose that stone slowly without the jabs.

I am out in a bikini!!!

Happy sunny weekend all x

My hair was thinning, I've upped my calories slightly and started using rosemary oil. It has started to grow back around my hair line.

Yay 🥳 @UtterlyQuackers you go girl.
I'm hiding away a bit .. not sure why as I’m bloody 8.2 now! Couldn’t bring myself to put shorts on today so went with a t-shirt and cropped trousers. My mind definitely needs to catch up with my size before the sunshine is gone. How are we all?? Sorry for the radio silence this work merger is taking over my life literally!!

I’m also freezing most of the time 🥶 the heat outside is welcome but I’m now sleeping in full on pj’s every night which I very rarely do even in winter.

So, I have been on holiday for 2 weeks, self catering. Didnt eat and drink loads, but what I did eat and drink wasn't particularly healthy/low fat.

However, last weigh in before I went away I was 14'9, came back today and couldn't resist the urge to weigh in 2 days early.

14' bloody 3! Can't quite believe it! I was jabbing as normal while away, and last week didn't have much suppression! So am absolutely shocked! Made tonight's takeaway taste even better!

I was expecting a pound or two on, but not six off!

I won't record this tho, as I will do it on monday as usual.

Hi All,
Been keeping up with all you fabulous ladies and marvelling at the successes 🙌 I’m now on week 4 of going it alone and not doing too bad. I’ve put on 3lbs so now 8.9. I’m trying not to feel down about it and I’m very mindful of what Im eating. I can definitely eat lots more so portion sizes is something I need to watch out for. I’m going to aim to get back to 8.7lbs as that’s where I’d like to ideally stay. My eating habits haven’t really changed though so I feel I now need to get into this and find my my happy maintenance diet which will be the new normal. Feeling the way I do has given me such a boost and im
det to never go back!! Keep going everyone 🩷

Morning all!

Didn’t post last week as I was away on Sunday, weighed when I got back and I’d stayed the same, so didn’t have much to report.

So to this week:

SW: 20st 2lbs
CW: 14st 2lbs

KLAXON!!

I’ve now lost six stone!!!!!!

(that’s all I wanted to say 😊)

Incredible 🙌👏🏻💃🏻

@igivein that’s amazing! Well done! 👏
